Publisher's summary

After narrowly escaping Rogue City, Ben travels north into the Deschutes Territory in hopes of finding sanctuary, if only for a little while. His respite is brief and his hunters are persistent. Within a few days he's on the run again.

Ben must negotiate the desert, the underground, and the unknowable perils of magic if he is to recover the Dragon's Codex, the only known book of magic in the world, and his best hope for finding a way to stand against the wyrm.

fighting all the way. I liked it. epic adventure

I like how this book pulls you along. Frank will get his in the next book. so just close you eyes and picture this world in your minds eye and you find that you don't want it to end. this author makes you feel the story. but to be honest he could have developed the supporting cast better. but the story is all about Ben.

Great idea with video game delivery

Would you try another book from David A. Wells and/or Derek Perkins?

I will try another book narrated by Derek Perkins, but I will not purchase anymore of David A. Wells books.

Would you ever listen to anything by David A. Wells again?

No.
I tried listening to his Thinblade and couldn't find it interesting enough.

What about Derek Perkins’s performance did you like?

His range of voices, his pace of speaking.

Do you think The Dragon's Codex needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It should, and will.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first book although I felt it was cut off. This book is unbelievable and eye rolling, and by unbelievable I'm not talking in the magic and dragons sense. I'm talking about how the main character can go from bumbling teenager to super hero in what feels like a month. The other characters have no development and they're really dispensable..other than like..maybe 2. MAYBE.
It reads like a video game. The hero gets all the cool gizmos and has to go to dungeon B at the point in time and get helpful object. There is not a lot of explaining and the last part of the book was just silly.
It's a good YA book, and I don't mind those sometimes...but this was just too much. I feel like the author has very good ideas but lacks on the delivery. He should really extend his books, build his characters and spend a little more time making your main characters (in his other series too) not so *perfect*. Make it a little more human.

Anyhow, it's a fun enough book, but don't expect anything great.

Great story, fantasy but realistic about it.

This has been a good series with a good hero in tough situations. Without knowing the end, you have the sense that it'll make sense and be satisfying.

Great storyline

Nice balance of Action and great storytelling . A bit too much swearing for my taste.

The combo between David and Derek are unbelievable

David A Wells is a fantastic author and the writing style he uses is easy to follow along and with well placed details.
Derek Perkins has a natural voice that just puts you into the story and holds you there with flawless awe.
