Magic Time

By: Marc Scott Zicree, Barbara Hambly

Narrated by: Armin Shimerman

When an overworked team of government physicists unwittingly invites something catastrophic into the world, rising young New York lawyer Cal Griffin is forced into a strange new role in a world of nightmare and wonder.

A spinster schoolteacher, a lonely miner, a refugee doctor, a visionary street person, and a brooding Secret Service agent all share a staggering responsibility with the young attorney to make sense of the surreal chaos and to follow an awesome destiny, for they are to be soldiers in a titanic battle between darkness and light.

And its raging hell fires will affect the most astonishing transformation of all, turning a young man of pure heart into that rarest of creatures: a hero.

Critic reviews

"Sheer entertainment, this book is a rousing success." (Booklist)

"One of the most interesting and promising new fantasy series to come along." (Orlando Sentinel)

Great narrator Original twist on one of my favorite genres

The idea of elements of the fae realm/genre suddenly becoming a part of our own
Looking forward to reading book 2

Story yes, reader no

I really am enjoying this story but the reader is only ok. I'm eager to see how it ends...

love this series

I love to listen to all these books. different with likeable characters. I am sad when it ended

Nothing wrong with the sound

Is This For YOU?

If you want depth of characters, an intertwining plot that rides the cusp of both the supernatural and science as we know it...if you want expresive "pull you into the story" writing...if you long for an audiobook that has a rich variety of characters, sharing with them their thoughts and passions...if you liked Stephen King's apocalyptic "The Stand" and want fantasy characters blended in...this is for you. I read this book in it's first printing, and was very pleased to enjoy the story once again by audiobook. The narrator offers a supurb variety of dialects. This is worth the listen, as is the entire trilogy. Enjoy!
