Another Kingdom

Another Kingdom, Book 1

De: Andrew Klavan

Narrado por: Michael Knowles

“What was this place? Was I crazy? Or was I crazy before, back in L.A.? Was my real life some sort of dream? Was this hell reality?”

Austin Lively is a struggling, disillusioned screenwriter whose life is suddenly changed forever when he opens a door and is unwittingly transported to a fantastical medieval realm. Austin finds himself wielding a bloody dagger while standing over a very beautiful and very dead woman. Bewildered and confused, he is seized by castle guards and thrown in a dungeon. Just when he begins to fear the worst he is suddenly transported back to reality in LA.

Did that really just happen? Has he gone insane? Was it all a dream? Did he have a brain tumor? Desperate for answers, he sets out to find them and discovers that the mystery can only be unlocked by a strange piece of fiction that holds the truth about the magical kingdom. But he isn’t the only person searching for the missing manuscript, and his rivals will stop at nothing to get it first. To complicate matters more, Austin soon discovers that he has no control over when he passes between worlds, and finds himself out of trust for even the simple things, like walking through doorways.

Stuck between dual realities - charged for a murder he doesn’t recall in one and running from a maniacal billionaire who’s determined to kill him in another - Austin’s monotonous life has become an epic adventure of magic, murder, and political intrigue in both the New Republic of Galiana and the streets of Los Angeles California.

Avery good story but....

I enjoyed the story and went in knowing it was going to be a part of a series. That being said I don't like when a book doesn't have an ending. I understand that there was going to be threads of the story that would be drawn out through the series but there were no closure on any of the story. None. No questions were answered. everything is left hanging.

love Another Kingdom

loved it! looking forward to book two and what happens to Austin in both worlds.

Amazing

I absolutely love the writing and narration of the book. Micheal knowles has such a great voice for this. Thank you guys for being able to tolerate each other just long enough to creat such a beautiful thing!

A Story That Really Builds and Surprises

The beginning was pretty bland. There was the shock and awe of the first chapter but the writing and situations seemed simple and slightly pedantic.

After proceeding to the rest of the book, I wonder if it was a purposeful technique. It seemed that as the character and story grew in complexity the writing did as well.

Additionally, I thought the story was clever and unique. It also explored some interesting concepts and questions about life and purpose.

I definitely recommend this book.
