Publisher's Summary

There's trouble at the Castle, and it's all because Merrin Meredith has returned with Darke plans for Septimus. More trouble awaits Septimus and Jenna in the form of Tertius Fume, the ghost of the very first Chief Hermetic Scribe, who is determined to send Septimus on a deadly Queste.

Septimus and Jenna have other plans, however. They are headed for the mysterious House of Foryx, a place where all Time meets and the place where they fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in physik. But how will Septimus escape the Queste?

Queste, like all the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with nonstop action, humor, and fantastical adventure, as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery.

From AudioFile

Book Four, like the others in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with action, drama, and quirky characters, and narrator Gerard Doyle excels in managing all of these elements. Doyle takes listeners along on Septimus's Magykal journey. This time, there's trouble at the Castle, with Merrin Meredith out to get Septimus, who is himself trying to rescue Nicko, who's trapped in another time. Doyle pulls out all the stops as he spins this tale with insightful characterizations (he gives depth even to that sorry piece of work, Merrin) and shrewd timing (he expertly plays up Sage's cliff-hanger chapter ends). Sage's lighter, more humorous moments and little insights on human nature are also amply available to listeners in this pleasing production. (c) AudioFile 2008

This is the 4th novel in the series and I tell you I am truly enjoying myself. The story is so interesting that at times, I can't put my audio book down and listen late at night when I should be in bed. I highly recommend this series for anyone who is interested in Magical Fantasy storylines.

As a mother of very young children, I'm always on the hunt for books that interest me, yet are kid friendly. (no cussing, vulgarity, etc) I have enjoyed the entire series and this book was not a disappointment. I just wish there were more books in the series. These books will get listened to time and again.

Sometimes books in a series are never as good as the first one, but I thoroughly enjoyed "Queste". I think this is the best so far.

I was sorry to come to the end.

One of my two favorite books in this series. This one is as good as Magyk. Story is well structured, has some humors within, and every chapter is full of new excitement. Personally, I believe that this one is far more better than Physik.

I bought the Septimus Heap audiobooks (4 of them so far) for son (age 5). And as always I listen to them first to make sure they aren't too scary for him (they're not). And this time I find MYSELF listening to them over and over again. LOL Every time I get to the end of Queste, I don't want to stop listening, so I just start at the beginning again! Gerhard Doyle is a wonderful narrator and the books are beautifully written, especially for those who like dreaming about life in a land with wizards and dragons. The characters are very real and again Gerhard Doyle does amazing voices for them. I love the EOW :-)
