Madrenga

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

A vital message. A desperate queen. A hero in the making.

He is plainly too young and too inexperienced for the mission, but on the advice of her aged adviser Natoum, and with her husband off at war, the queen reluctantly assigns the task of delivery to...Madrenga.

Accompanied only by a runt of a pony and a scrap of a pup, he sets off to transport the royal message to its destination. No matter what it might take.

But things are not always what they seem. Heroes are sometimes made of the strangest stuff, and love is to be found in the most unexpected places...if one doesn’t die while treading the lethal path.

Critic reviews

“Rip-roaring action sequences and the mystery of Madrenga’s curious powers propel the story through a series of consistently surprising twists and turns.” (Publishers Weekly)

"Alan Dean Foster is the modern-day Renaissance writer, as his abilities seem to have no genre boundaries.” (Bookbrowser)

"Foster's brisk and eventful novel should please any reader looking for a quick and diverting adventure.” (Booklist)

Satisfying nondescript fun

This was an easy listen with a warm likable protagonist. A bit too YA for me, but we’ll executed.

This story takes a twist midway and changes it all

I enjoyed the first portion of the book on face value but it was almost getting cliche when it takes a turn you just couldn't predict. Very unique and interesting. A fun tale with unusual characters and imaginative world building. light hearted and original.

Great book to release at Christmas.

Very well written. I just finished in the parking lot at work (hospital) on Christmas Eve morning.

Very enjoyable listen.

I really enjoyed this one. It had me just waiting to see what crazy thing would happen next. My only complaint is sometimes the MC would be way to trusting especially towards the end after everything that had already happened to him . Tim Gerard Reynolds was fantastic as always.

More!!!

Please do not let this be the end! It doesn't seem finished. Madrenga needs to go home.
