Description

A musician is transported into a land of magic—from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Jonathan Thomas Meriweather is a typical college student, interested in girls, music, and an occasional taste of reefer. But when a journey through an interdimensional portal lands him in a world of talking animals and ominous sorcery, he finds he is on a very different trip indeed. Here, when he plays a strange instrument called a duar, peculiar things happen: powerful magic that may be the only way to stop a dark force that threatens his new world—and his old one. Reluctantly, he finds himself teaming up with a semi-senile turtle wizard; a thieving, backstabbing otter; and a bewildered Marxist dragon to rally an army for the war about to come.

Spellsinger, the first in Alan Dean Foster’s eight-book Spellsinger series, introduces a world of magic and mayhem, where animals are people and plunging ahead no matter what the consequences may be the only way to survive.

        April 25, 2016
        In the first of Foster’s eight-book Spellsinger series, protagonist Jon-Tom, an average college student and aspiring musician, is unexpectedly brought to a fantastical world by a wizardly anthropomorphic turtle. He’s enlisted to help fight against even stranger beings, even though he’s only beginning to develop his skills as a wizard who cast spells through song. Foster’s novel makes perfect fodder for audiobook fans and illustrates how an audiobook can be better than the book. This full-cast production enhances the plot with numerous audio perks, including great audio talent, sound effects, and music. Director Terence Aselford drives the story, providing the omniscient narrator with a strong, deep voice. Gregory Linington captures the tone, attitude, and mood of Jon-Tom in every scene and is only slightly rivaled by James Konieck’s voice rendering of Falameezar, a Marxist dragon. Aselford also draws out strong performances from all of the actors involved as they take on a very colorful and eclectic characters. An Open Road paperback.
