Paul Boehmer is an audiobook narrator with a distinguished voice suited to epic fantasy and adventure fiction. He is the narrator of Robin Hobb's original Farseer trilogy — The Farseer: Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest — which introduced Fitz Chivalry and the Elderlings world that Hobb would expand across decades of fiction. Boehmer's narration of these foundational novels established the audio identity for some of fantasy's most beloved characters. He also narrated Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance classic Dragons of Autumn Twilight, one of the most widely read fantasy novels of the 1980s, bringing Tanis, Raistlin, and the companions to audio with evident care for the material. His range extends to nonfiction with Guy Kawasaki's The Art of the Start 2.0 and historical nonfiction with The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio. Boehmer's voice carries classical authority that suits both the epic scope of fantasy and the narrative demands of nonfiction storytelling.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
