First Book of Quint

By: Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell

Narrated by: Alex Jennings

Brought to you by Penguin.


Fourteen-year-old Quint Verginix is the only remaining son of famous sky-pirate Wind Jackal. He and his father have journeyed to the city of Sanctaphrax - a great floating rock, bound to the ground below by a chain, its inhabitants living with their heads literally in the clouds.

But the city hides a dangerous secret: deep inside the great rock, something horrible lurks. With his father away, Quint may be the only one who can save Sanctaphrax from the dreaded curse of the gloamglozer . . .

The Curse of the Gloamglozer is the first book of the Quint Saga - first trilogy in The Edge Chronicles, the internationally best-selling fantasy series, which has featured on the UK and the New York Times best-seller lists and sold more than 3 million copies. There are now 13 titles and four trilogies in the series, but each book is a stand-alone adventure, so you can read The Edge Chronicles in any order you choose.

abridgeds suck

purchased the book to reread and feel a little nostalgic. didn't realized it was abridged until it was too late. it really diminished the experience.

This book

Along with the earlier books in this series it is a great quick read and good to read to kids. But I wouldn’t usually spend credits on a book this short. ( about 3 hrs 25min)

too abridged

just unable to listen. they take out full sentences and dialogue. ridiculous. i have adhd and dyslexia so i read by looking at a book as well as having it read to me with an audiobook. but by second page it just made it even more confusing. remind me not to sign back up with audible.

abridged really ruins a good book.

really wish it wasn't abridged as it really takes a lot out of the book. the book is good, the reading performance is decent, the content presented here is terrible.

horrible

the words he spoke weren’t lined up with the words on the book as he skipped some. disappointed in amazons service
