About this listen

Number-one Amazon and Audible best-selling novel

Tesser, the dragon of life itself, is one of seven: Earth’s primordial draconic guardians, destined to oversee its development and safety.

Species rose and fell, and one day, 10,000 years ago...Tesser disappeared.

The golden dragon woke up this morning, buried deep beneath the city of Boston, with no idea how he got there, and no idea how humanity grew so fast and learned so much while he was away. He is lost; a fish out of water, with no contact with his brothers and sister, or any idea of what threatens his home. Where are the faeries? Where are the Minotaur and unicorns? Where are the selkies and all the creatures he fostered, and loved?

Where is the magic?

He’s got a lot of catching up to do if he’s going to find his missing sister Kaula, and stop an incursion of daemons from beyond the Veil.

Learning English from watching Kevin Smith movies at a coffee shop is probably not his best first step, but not all heroes get handed a cape.

Welcome to The Reemergence.

"Vibrant storytelling, with an unusual protagonist...." (Georgina Parfitt, Towerbabel.com)

A really good story had me gripped from the intro. the narrator is good, although I spotted a point or two where I think the wrong character was voiced at the start of a sentence.

great story

I took a bit of a chance on this book because I'd had enough of formulaic fantasy tropes and the word "Dragon" in the title almost put me off but I gave it a whirl because I love Chris' Adrian's Undead Diary series and the gamble really paid off. This is a fantastic tale and it's a great example of what can happen when an author leaves behind all the tried and tested tropes and strikes out on his own. Chris is a talented writer and weaves really interesting characters and adds his own signature pinch of darkness to a tale that really brings it to life and makes it feel more contemporary. I'm a huge fan of Chris Philbrook's other works and I'm glad I took a chance on this one. I've just picked up book 2 of this series (Ambryn and the Cheaters of Death) and I'm enjoying that immensely.

The Tesser series (at least so far) reminds me of the Anita Blake novels in that it takes a fantasy/sci-fi twist and blends it with the everyday modern world in a way that works.

As usual the pairing of James Foster as the narrator is a match made in heaven. Give this a try if you enjoy imaginative stories that break away from the usual fantasy narratives.

An author letting his imagination off the leash
