Volume 1 of The Minion Chronicles

Centuries pass and the Dark Lord's Empire spreads across the land, its unconquerable armies forcing kingdom after kingdom to bend the knee. At the fore of these armies are the minions, skeletal warriors raised from the dead with dark magic to serve on the frontlines of battle. They are the perfect soldiers - made to be unthinking, unfeeling, and expendable. After all, there is no killing what is already dead.

So when one of them makes the unlikely choice to spare the Dark Lord's greatest enemy, a powerful young witch named Kora who has awoken feelings in him long forgotten, he sets off a chain of events that threaten to change the course of the Empire forever.

This fantasy story is the length of a short novella. (21,000 words or 65 standard pages)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After working for nine years as a member of the fun police, Lewis Dix got tired of melting eyeballs with lasers and decided to give writing a go. He figured all he needed was to be able to write in the third person and come up with things that are entirely (mostly!) untrue.

He can most often be found at home, where he's busy corrupting his two young sons and making his wife question why she married him in the first place. Otherwise, you can catch him playing Xbox...err, writing fantasy stories. But seriously, his gamertag is MEL7D0WN.

Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a mindless grunt?

This story conveyed that in a way to make me care about a character risen from the dead. There is wonder and loss delivered in the narration.

The next time I am mowing down hordes of skeletons in a video game, I'll think about how they got there.

I can't remember the last time I rooted for a grunt. I really enjoyed this story.

This is a six star concept and would be my vote hands down for the next PIXAR movie. Although there were a few distracting editing errors the narrator's voice was very engaging and humorous. This is the most endearing bloodthirsty skeleton warrior you are likely to find in any fantasy story. It's a bit short, but a fair length for the price. In the end, I just really enjoyed myself while reading it, and that's probably the best compliment I can give.

I literally had a moment of fear at the 90% point -- it seemed as if the story would conclude and I wouldn't get a sequel. I can breathe easy now, knowing that this is not the case and the rest of the Minion Chronicles are forthcoming. Still, I'm a bit shaken.

I, Minion, is the tale of a valiant rebel force battling against the Dark Lord. Insurmountable odds, indeed. What makes this story so unique is that instead of following a courageous young knight, we follow the crooked adventures of a shambling skeleton enslaved in the Dark Lord's army.

This story is humorous and the concept is brilliant. A light-hearted read of appropriate length. I highly recommend it, and am looking forward to part 2.

A note to the author: You're cover absolutely rocks.

I really enjoyed this little work. It is short, but it's time we'll spent. I read it quite a while ago. I'm writing this review in the hopes of coaxing a book two out of Mr. Dix.

The author has done a great job on book 1, I, Minion, with drawing the reader into the story.This is a book to read from cover to cover. Solid characters, a very interesting story line that has you hooked from the first page and I look forward to following his next book. I must say that I was a bit disappointed that the book ended! I look forward to seeing where the sequel goes and how he works in Kora's history, Corbin's memories of being human and where this will all lead. I certainly do not believe that Lewis Dix will disappoint us with his next book and will be avidly watching for this very talented author.

For a first effort this is written exceptionally well. It has a very conversational writing style mixed with good structure and proper prose. Its a good casual read and moves fast. I would've given it 5 stars, but the mindless minion thinks more than I do.

Just finished this book as I'm sitting here getting my hair done and I'm very pleased with how it ended. It was an ending that made me smile and tugged my heart. I would recommend this book to people who need some reassurance that love can overcome anything. Made me cry a few times, but that's what good books do. Hopefully we get the second one soon :)
