Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post

When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It's an impressive start to a writing career that's sure to flourish." (Booklist)

"Doyle's range of accents is perfect for the multiple characters of this epic....On paper Eragon is a sprawling fantasy, filled with obvious nods to Tolkien and too many convenient plot devices. But on audio, it fills the ears with vivid characters, witty dialogue, and nail-biting battle scenes set in a magical world where a beautiful blue dragon and her rider are at the noble center of it all." (AudioFile)

"An impressive epic fantasy." (Publishers Weekly)

What a fun read!

Would you consider the audio edition of Eragon to be better than the print version?

The audio edition is very fun and the reader distinguishes the voices of the different characters well.

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

The beginning of a young boys adventure into an expansive world of magic, mystery, and heroism.

Dragons and Adventure

What more could you ask for? The narration is wonderfully done, You are brought into a different world and you quickly learn to listen, learn and remember - the story is in the details. Elves, dwarves, shades, werecats, famous swords, secret cities and wild adventures.

Best Book Ever!

This is now my favorite book! From beginning to end the story grabs you and you will not want to stop listening. This is a must have book to unwind and relax as the author and narrator take you on great adventures. We can't wait until part two and three come out!

Wonderful

I downloaded this title for my son and I to listen to while we drove to the beach. I didn't want to STOP listening. This was as good to me as Wizards First Rule, and I could share it with my son.
I too cannot wait until the next one comes out!

Good Book

A well written and enjoyable story. A good narrator that made the story fun to listen too.

Eragon

Cool fantasy book. A nice light listen.

awesome!

the narration was great! his performance was entrancing with careful execution of the character's voices. the story was interesting with questions answered at satisfying and appropriate times. can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. I hope Doyle is reading each of them.

Saphira voice is dumb

Yo whoever approved the voice for saphira in this audio book sucks. The rest is a great performance but every time I hear him do his stupid dragon voice it pisses me off and takes me out of the story. It’s a mental voice y’all that means it can sound like anything even a female voice.

Amazingly detailed

Beautiful narration and amazing story telling. The amount of detail describing each scene and fight is amazing. So much fantasy and such a huge world. You have to pay attention when you listen because you will miss much of you do not.

Bad dragon voice

Plot is great, dialogue is a bit cringe sometimes, and the narrator's voice for the dragon is both bizarre and annoying but other than that pretty good.
