Publisher's summary

Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter - but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book two of the New York Times best-selling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

The enemies: Dr. John Dee and Niccolo Machiavelli.

Their plan: Steal the rest of what Nicholas Flamel has fought to protect.

John Dee has the Book of Abraham the Mage, which means the world is on the brink of ruin. Except he's missing two crucial pages, pages that Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and the legendary warrior Scatty have taken to Paris.

But Paris is teeming with enemies - and old acquaintances like Nicollo Machiavelli. On the run and with time running out for Nicholas and his wife, Perenell, Sophie must learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain - alchemist, magician, and rock star.

Amazing!!!

For all you Harry Potter Fans give this series a go! You will not regret it.

great for teen readers

This is a great series for teen readers, introducing them to historical figured and events.

Entertaining

Very compelling.... I can't wait to finish one ... To start another! Outstanding performances and storyline is great. Thanks for the listen.

great listen

I wish the voice for Mars was different, lower and more ancient sounding, that's how I always imagined it but otherwise amazing

The Magician

this is the best book i have read... heard
i have the first book and i read books way too quick so this is a 11 hour alternative

Esoteric teaching embedded in a fun story.

Surprisingly, accurate, alchemical and esoteric principles. The book to introduce someone young to the esoteric in ancient arts. Can’t wait to read the rest.

Least favorite of the 5 but still enjoyable.

This series may or may not be intended for teenagers or the youth. It is a nice fun series. I am a seriously avid reader, and finish a novel per week. I picked up the first book in the series for my daughter. I ran out of books and picked it up. I have read all of them now. They are fun.
The series has characters that are well wrritten and believable. The goals and problems are very truthful. Michael Scott has to have or had a few teenagers because he has them down pretty well in the books.
Now don't think you are about to read a literary masterpiece but the stories have heart, soul, well planned themes and flow, and realistic well described characters. I love a good book and these are just that. GOOD BOOKS

There'll never be another Harry Potter

Recognizing the name Nicholas Flamel from Harry Potter, I thought I'd check these out. Have read all 5 available so far - have also recently read other kids' books in the similar style - these books are interesting with great characters and it's fun that I recognize them from history so get to explain to my daughter who they are. There is interesting action and secrets and adventures. All that being said, not only Scott's books, but all the children's fantasy books (excluding, of course, Wrinkle in Time set) just FAIL next to Harry Potter. I think we really have to stop thinking of HP as children's books or something - I keep trying to decide what it is. There's just so much MORE to love about Harry Potter!! Anyway, kids who liked HP will probably like these, and I'll keep going with the series...but JKR - something else for us maybe?

the Voices but me.

I don't have a problem with the readers voice period just the choice of voices he used for a few of the characters. he had Aries sounding like some dork!

pulls you in ten years later

I remember reading the first book in this series, the alchemist, over ten years ago. I loved it and immediately fell in love with the fantasy and action. I tried to start the second book, this one, but because of personal reasons, I wasn't able to get very far. Ten years later I pick it back up and I am instantly pulled back and enjoyed it just as much as back then. from the start to the end I got chills. I definitely recommend this book series.
