The Sleeping Dragon

Guardians of the Flame, Book 1

By: Joel Rosenberg

Narrated by: Keith Silverstein

Captives of Sorcery...

It began as just another evening of fantasy gaming with James, Karl, Andrea, and the rest ready to assume their various roles as wizard, cleric, warrior, or thief. But sorcerous gamemaster Professor Deighton had something else planned for this unsuspecting group of college students. And the "game" soon became a matter of life and death as the seven adventurers found themselves transported to an alternate world and into the bodies of the actual characters they had been pretending to be.

Cast into a land where magic worked all too well, dragons were a fire-breathing menace, and only those quick enough with a sword or their wits survived, the young gamers faced a terrible task. For the only way they would ever see Earth again was if they could find the legendary Gate Between Worlds - a place guarded by the most terrifying and deadly enemy of all....

A classic must read fantasy

An absolute must read! Treat yourself today!

Loved the book but hate having a world requirement for the review....

A solid if dated fantasy.

A good story but does have several of their time bits. SA of female characters to motivate male characters does not fly any more. The rest of the story is still interesting.

Great audio book!

Excellent narration of one of my favorite books!

Engaging and exciting without the normal boredom!

this is a fantastic book. little dated.

the text is a little clunky hearing read out loud. I read this when I was in 7rh grade and loved it, great to hear it again.

One of my favorite series.

I enjoy how Rosenberg celebrates and reinforces the values on which our country's been founded.
