Convergence

Convergence, Book 1

De: Craig Alanson

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

From New York Times bestselling author Craig Alanson comes a thrilling new series that melds action-packed urban fantasy with his signature humor, read by none other than award-winning narrator R.C. Bray.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet.

I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why?

I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know. I don’t have a wand or a sword, and I don’t ride a dragon. I carry a Glock, and drive around in a beat-up RV with a talking dog.

Yeah. The talking dog was a surprise to me, too. Duke is inhabited by the spirit of a 3,000-year-old wizard from Babylon, and he’s a good dog, but he is still a dog, and that’s a problem. Like, he still thinks squirrels are his mortal enemy. And that I don’t feed him enough. How did the spirit of a wizard reach across millennia, to our time? I don’t know.

The truth is, I’m not much of a wizard, because there’s not much magic in the world for me to work with. But there used to be magic. And magic is coming back as our world converges with the Nether.

Unless I can stop it.

Craig Alanson does it again

I was a fan of Craig Alanson and RC Bray in the Expeditionary Force series. This series seems to be another I’ll be waiting for each book to come out! Great story for fantasy and sci-fi!

New fan! Flawless Victory!

Characters, plot, ending, all awesome! just the right amount of comedy and still serious enough. Now I want to explore the other books from this author.

Craig gets more woke with each book he writes

Title pretty much sums it up. Interesting story but author can’t help but interject more and more woke storylines into his books.

Fun story, weird narration.

An urban fantasy story in the line of Dresden, etc., the with a far less accomplished main character. interesting story, interesting main character, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll be happy to continue listening if there is another, which it seems like there will likely be.

Only downside was the narration, which was strange. Some of the narrator's voices were fine, and interesting. Great for the character and worked well. But The main character sounded like it was an automatic reading via robot. it was very stilted, and weird. until additional characters were added, I honestly thought that perhaps this was some sort of automatic reading. it was distracting, and took away from the enjoyment a bit. not enough to keep me from listening to the next if they use the same reader, but disappointing.

Great story

If you're a fan of any of Craig Alanson's other books you will like this one. It has the humor you'd expect from one of his stories and the stiry moves along atva good pace. I look forward to the next one.

Very enjoyable

ita good to see Alanson branching out into another genre. Good story, not too serious. The running dog gags bring needed comic relief. Teaching time travellers makes me laugh.

Great read

Excellent all the way around. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Looks promising

I honestly do not understand all the hate this book is getting by reviewers. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and I look forward to the next chapter for Kaz and Crew!

OUTSTANDING!

Another outstanding series brought to you by Alanson and Bray. I loved this first book. I can’t wait for the next one.

Fantastic listen!

Love the story. I'm usually more of a science fiction fan, so fantasy set in the modern world really appeals to me. And of course, any performance by RC Bray is enjoyable!
