Dante and Blays have a single hope of victory: the Spear of Stars, the long-lost weapon that may be capable of killing the lich. There's just one problem. Though they've learned the spear is real, they've also learned the nine parts of the weapon are guarded by the gods themselves. And they have no intention of handing over their prize. Alone in a strange realm, with no friends or allies, and a growing list of enemies, Dante and Blays' task looks doomed. Yet, they're the last line standing between the lich and the destruction of their whole world.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

Think Twice
I am a Huge fan of H.G. Wells works. The story is interesting...BUT, The narrator of this book is so dull and monotonous, I could not finish it. He literally kept putting me to sleep.
Listen to the sample before buying.

When the Sleeper Awakes - a lost opportunity
As a fan of HG Wells, I looked forward to hearing "When the Sleeper Awakes" with some enthusiasm. I had not heard Frederick Davidson read any other titles before this book. The choice of Davidson for "The Sleeper" was, in my opinion, a mistake. I believe that it is possible that his accent and phrasing may be suitable for other genres but, in this case, an opportunity has been lost. I found myself listening to Davidson's interpretation with increasing distraction and occasional annoyance. Can another reader not be found for this excellent book?
