Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands....

Cannot wait to listen to the next book.

One of the very best books I have ever read

it is the best book ever so wonderful. it stirs up emotions guide you to all the places eragon goes.

The reading is a bit off

The dragons voice just doesn't suit. Unsure why the performer chose to make the voice sound like that

Fantastic

Incredible story, a great escape, magic, dragons, swords and war, what else could you want.
The voice for the dragon was really over done, doesn't fit her or her personality, but still an epic tale.

Inspired by those who came before.

Would you listen to Eragon - Part One again? Why?

I quite enjoyed the story and loved the narration by Gerrard Doyle.

What did you like best about this story?

Sooooo much better than the movie. A good start to what appears to be a great Fantasy series.

Which character – as performed by Gerrard Doyle – was your favorite?

Loved the portrayal of Brom, loved the character in the movie as portrayed by Jeremy Irons (a most underutilised actor) and it was great to see him fleshed out in the book and greatly portrayed by Gerrard.

Any additional comments?

The story and so many things in this book are obviously inspired by Tolkiens' works, but done with a obvious love of the original source and with just the right spin to make it his own world, an incredible feat for any author let alone a 16 year old novice (I believe that's how old Mr Paolini was when he finished Eragon).I look forward to sharing this book with my children as they grow older as it is a fine addition to anyone who loves Dragons and the bond they can have with their riders.

I wonder if Anne McCaffrey ever read Eragon?

Blast from the past!

I was a high schooler when I first read this beautiful tale. How blessed am I to be able to enjoy this again as an audio book on route to school with my 9year old. It makes the hour to work pass swiftly. The narrator is an amazingly talented 👏 voice actor. I am reminded of the truly ancient art of story telling amongst humans, where one person embodies the expressive identities of man and monsters alike.

Brilliant

This is one of my fav books.
The narrator is pretty good and the storyline is
"Brilliant"
