What is it?
A book by Irish author Michael Scott.
What’s it about?
Two teenagers who get dragged into a fantastic adventure involving magic, myth, monsters, legends and a book that has the power to destroy the human race if it gets into the wrong hands.
Will I like it?
If you like fantasy that takes ancient myth and spins it into a roller coasting page turner, you will most definitely like it. Although a children’s book, this is a thoroughly enjoyable thriller that adults will enjoy too.
Where can I get it?
Via the link on openculture to download the PDF version.
What’s the catch?
There’s none. This is Free on Friday. It’s Free (and since it’s from the publisher, totally legit). If there is a downside, it’s that when you finish the book you’ll be bursting to get the next one. It’s a trilogy you see.
If anyone has the second one and wants to do some swappage, let me know.
Nice one lecraic, I’ve downloaded that. Not sure how likely I am to read a book on my laptop screen but there’s only one way to find out
his website has previews for all the books http://www.dillonscott.com/the-secrets-of-the-immortal-nicholas-flamel/books/the-magician.htm
I have the first and second , read them a few times, really liked them. Eagerly awaiting the third.
@Niamh - you need to get yourself a Sony Reader
Picked up the second book at the weekend, looking forward to reading it. One in the stack at the moment, almost finished and then onto more magic !
Maybe Santa will be good to me at Christmas
