About this listen

The Earth is under siege - and no one knows about it because the invaders erase those whom they consume. A handful of men and women stand on the border between the mundane and the magical. They have a special spark of soul - not quite enough to be naturally gifted in spellcraft but greater than the average person, a tiny flame that can ignite incredible potential. They possess the ability to fight back against the Vorid: the ability to become a Contractor.

Daniel Fitzgerald is one of those people, but when duty comes calling he promptly slams the door in its face. He has no illusions of grandeur. He is not someone special. He wants to go to school and study law. And frankly, he doesn't really like people, and he doesn't want anything to do with magic. He just wants to be left alone. But when the entire planet is a battlefield, there is no place to run.

I bought this book on a whim ( like most books I buy) and wasn't disappointed. A little childish in its content but I found myself listening for hours to it. Well read and would buy another from this author

Alien invasion science fantasy with some original touches. Easy escapist listening but not without tension. Characters deftly drawn with some wit and compassion and sufficient twists to defy cliche. OK - so far the twists not unforeseeable but thats part of the whole entertainment package.
I had no moments of irritation with the narrator. Clear with Accent and pronunciation not intrusive, speed fine. i.e. so good that i was lost in the listening and almost oblivious to the narrator. I had no problem differentiating different characters. Only v rarely did one seem a bit uncomfortable.
What's the audio book equivalent term for page turner? A long way home book? Grading unit based on time sitting idle and listening?
I'm going now in search of Book 2.

Well this book I got just because of the narrator Luke Daniels. I'm so glad I did. This is one fantastic listen and sucked me right in.
The next book needs to be done. 2016 was a while ago now.

TOP 5 of my best books. Brilliant stuff!
