Fight and Flight

Magic 2.0, Book 4

By: Scott Meyer

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Martin and his friends discovered that their world is computer generated and that by altering the code, they could alter reality. They traveled back in time to Medieval England to live as wizards. Almost everything they've done since then has, in one way or another, blown up in their faces.

So of course they decide to make dragons. It does not go well.

As the wizards struggle to control their creations and protect innocent citizens, they try new things (most of which they don't enjoy), meet new people (most of who are angry at them), and fight epic battles (most of which they lose).

But their biggest challenge may be a young girl who knows that the wizards created the dragons and is determined to make them pay. On her side she has powerful allies, a magical artifact, and a faithful if not particularly helpful dog.

Fight and Flight is a rollicking tale of bravery, wonder, love, revenge, greed, discovery, deception, and animal husbandry.

4th in the series missee

I loved the first three and was dying to listen to this one. Overall it felt like it was missing some of the magic of the previous 3. Story was repetitive, and jumped around a lot. Felt like the author was just trying to get something out there rather than bringing a new story. In a word, it was predictable.

My favorite book in the series!

I was a bit apprehensive in purchasing this fourth installment in the Magic 2.0 series after reading the thumbs down reviews. I'm so glad that I did buy it and didn't go along with the rest of the herd. Haha! Read the book and you'll get the connection. The character Honor did nearly killed the book for me, but I stuck with it and was rewarded with some gut busting laughter as the wizard teams attempted to rein in their dragon flock. The storyline describes what would happen if Abbott and Costello, the 'Home Alone' burglars and the 'Three Stooges' went head to head with dragons. Mix in some 'Braveheart' adolescent squabbles and you have a laugh a minute. The narrator Luke Daniels is at his best in this series. The flavor and texture of his narration brings all of the characters to life. I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next installment.

i love Scott Meyers originality.

excellent pacing equal to the previous books with a great twist ending that contrasts the style of his work.

A Disappointing Addition to the Series

If you could sum up Fight and Flight in three words, what would they be?

I was excited to see a new book in this series. I kept expecting the story to expand into something more like the previous entries in the series where there were multiple story arcs and a compelling plot; however, the book ended and I was left feeling disappointed. I have greatly enjoyed the previous books, but this one did not live up to their quality.

Has Fight and Flight turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not the genre, but I will hesitate to read another book in this series.

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Luke Daniels does a great job narrating the books. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have finished the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The untimely death of a great series.

The narration is always great.

Luke Daniels always brings the characters to life. This is an easy listen while at work.

Honor (the Character) Kinda Sucks

I really enjoy the series. But Honor never got the comeuppance she deserved here. Shrug.

Love this series

This is yet another great instalment in one of my favorite book series I love the humor the action and all the characters.

Very self contained.

there isn't much for character development, but being able to experience another story with these awesome characters was a pleasure never the less.

!!

it's a great work and it's a nice change of pace from the last three books. there was no clear 'bad guy'.

bummer...

loved the first 3 books.... this was a struggle to get through and there were some significant contradictions... ready for a better book 5!
