About this listen

Ever since Martin Banks and his fellow computer geeks discovered that reality is just a computer program to be happily hacked, they've been jaunting back and forth through time, posing as medieval wizards and having the epic adventures that other nerds can only dream of having. But even in their wildest fantasies, they never expected to end up at the mercy of the former apprentice whom they sent to prison for gross misuse of magic and all-around evil behavior.

Who knew that the vengeful Todd would escape, then conjure a computer game packed with wolves, wenches, wastelands, and assorted harrowing hazards - and trap his hapless former friends inside it? Stripped of their magic powers, the would-be wizards must brave terrifying dangers, technical glitches, and one another's company if they want to see Medieval England - and their favorite sci-fi movies on VHS - ever again. Can our heroes survive this magical mystery torture? Or will it only lead them and their pointy hats into more peril?

Love this series of books, I really hope there are more to come. Well written, very funny. Great characters read excellently. "We will gloss over Philips English accent"

More please!

Great

The third part in the Magic 2.0 series sees our heroes being abducted and forced to complete a quest by an arch enemy.
This continues on from the amazing first two books. If you have ever played some classic adventure games, then you will appreciate some of the scenes (such as the quest giver repeating himself until he receives a satisfactory response).

Some elements of the quest were a little off. One such area was the blacksmith - which lasted a little too long in my opinion. Nothing that will ruin the story for you.

The book has been set up to have a sequel, which is good news and I hope there is one - as there is no reason why this series should stay as a trilogy.

The wizards play old style RPG game - for real

Having enjoyed the previous 2 book I was looking forward to this one.
However the story seemed to lack substance and if I was reading it I would have put the book down long ago.
I hope the next one returns to previous form.

A bit of a yawn fest at times

This book was not as top quality as the first two books but still a good read.

Could of been better

I’m still in love with this series. I love how this ties in with the second book and builds on the characters.

Great follow up
