About this listen

Just outside Los Angeles, a prisoner hidden away for 70 years sits up, gets off the bed and disappears through a solid wall.

In Australia, a magician impresses audiences by producing real elephants. Nobody realizes it's not an illusion.

Across the world, individuals and ancient organizations with supernatural power suddenly detect the presence of something even they can't understand.

At the center of it all, Seb Varden, a 32-year old musician with a secret in his past, slits his wrists, is shot dead and run over on the freeway. He's had better days.

Seb is about to discover the universe is a far more complicated place than he'd ever imagined.

If you could sum up The World Walker in three words, what would they be?

Humorous, imaginative, compelling

What other book might you compare The World Walker to, and why?

It has echoes of Philip Pullman's other worldliness

What does Todd Boyce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I was plugged into this throughout the day whilst I got on with jobs around the house and garden. I couldn't stop listening.

Any additional comments?

I would love to see this book made into a film.
Can't wait to read book 2!

Brilliant book - can't believe it's a first novel!

An ok story and not badly written just not for me, I got about a third of the way through this and gave up. I’m not really a fan of stories that are told as a series multiple threads but if the main thread is compelling enough I can deal with it but unfortunately in this case I was just not interested enough in the story or the characters to persevere.

Not for me.
