Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...

Critic reviews

A compelling and action-filled adventure . . . A galloping good example of its genre
This book is an achievement. Readers will be transported
A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story
A stirring fantasy of epic proportions
Christopher has created a complex and fascinating world in this first book of his Eragon trilogy . . . Filled with history, ancient tales, magic, magical creatures, and with a superbly crafted story "Eragon" is sure to delight many lovers of fantasy tales
It's a story of mystery, excitement and magic . . . A riproaring story (also featured in Haverhill Echo)
This is an action-packed fantasy adventure that will appeal to both adults and younger readers
My 12-year-old son loves fantasy and adventure novels, and after reading Eragon on his suggestion, I now understand why: this book creates an alternate world... Emerging out of it to face ordinary life in 2006 London is a startling wrench

This book is amazing and if you like your fantasy adventure it will keep you listening.

Make sure you buy the combined book though not this which comes in two halves.

Good characters, Gripping storyline. The language is not quite on a par with Tolkein though.

Not Tolkein, but almost as good

Absolutely fantastic book, read incredibly well. Only annoyance I found was the voice of the Dragon (just to annoy her)

Brilliant

I quite enjoyed this book. But the reader chose to read the dragon parts with this odd growling dragon voice which reminded me of Mr Bean. I couldn’t take the anything the dragon said seriously.

Quite good.
