Summary

The sequel to Sixty-One Nails.

"There's been an accident. It's your daughter." But Alex isn't dead. She's been snatched because she came into her magical power early. Her father, Niall Petersen, must use his own wayward magic to track her down and save her from the madness of Bedlam.

Mike Shevdon lives in Bedfordshire, England, with his wife and son, where he pursues the various masteries of weapons, technology, and cookery. His love of Fantasy and SF started in the 70s with C S Lewis, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov, and continued through Alan Garner, Ursula Le Guin, and Barbara Hambly. More recent influences include Mike Carey, Phil Rickman, Neil Gaiman, and Robert Crais, among many others. He has studied martial arts for many years, mainly aikido and archery. Friends have sometimes remarked that his pastimes always seem to involve something sharp or pointy.

A great second book

Another well written, convincing book; exciting yet sensitive. I can't wait to listen to the third book in the series.

2nd started a little slow

I loved the first book, and this started and ended brilliantly. I loved the last few chapters and It has lined up the next book excellently. The middle got a little lost for me as he investigates a plot unrelated to the main story (which I thought was going to link in, but it didn't really) - however this is definitely a recommendation book from me.

Great read for a fantasy lover.

After the first part I simply had to read the next one immediately. Nothing else would work for me.
Great book to relax, but at the same time it's not a simple fights and magic read. Although there is plenty of that in it. It has a depth to it . Touches your emotions and builds complex world to introduce vibrant inhabitants and their complicated and entangled personalities.
It takes you for a ride after which you are left craving for more .

Less intriguing

What made the experience of listening to The Road to Bedlam the most enjoyable?

I had read the first book in the series, and could not wait to find out what happened next. The story still held my attention, but did not leave me with the feeling that MUst get the next book immediately! Perhaps next month I will return to the theme.

I think perhaps the the episode in Porton Down Research unit was a bit too violent for my taste..

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Road to Bedlam?

The above mentioned moment was the most memorable, but not for the right reason.

What about Nigel Carrington’s performance did you like?

Excellent reader.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Could there be any truth in this?

Any additional comments?

Glad I have read it.

It's getting repetitive.

Found it difficult to motivate myself to listen to the end. it's a shame because the basic premise is good.
