Magic Time

By: Marc Scott Zicree, Barbara Hambly

Narrated by: Armin Shimerman

When an overworked team of government physicists unwittingly invites something catastrophic into the world, rising young New York lawyer Cal Griffin is forced into a strange new role in a world of nightmare and wonder.

A spinster schoolteacher, a lonely miner, a refugee doctor, a visionary street person, and a brooding Secret Service agent all share a staggering responsibility with the young attorney to make sense of the surreal chaos and to follow an awesome destiny, for they are to be soldiers in a titanic battle between darkness and light.

And its raging hell fires will affect the most astonishing transformation of all, turning a young man of pure heart into that rarest of creatures: a hero.

Critic reviews

"Sheer entertainment, this book is a rousing success." (Booklist)

Great narrator Original twist on one of my favorite genres

The idea of elements of the fae realm/genre suddenly becoming a part of our own
Looking forward to reading book 2

Story yes, reader no

I really am enjoying this story but the reader is only ok. I'm eager to see how it ends...

I love to listen to all these books. different with likeable characters. I am sad when it ended

I would recommend this book to a friend.. nice winding story and good characters.

What about Armin Shimerman’s performance did you like?

Who edited this?

I have to agree. The recording transitions are indeed awful and distracting. I thought my mp3 player broke at first. Once I got over the readers transitions between reading sessions, the story picked up for me. I assume the big differences in voice tone is caused by going for a smoke outside in the dead of winter and then returning to work too quickly not allowing the cords to loosen up again. After making it through to the end, I realized that it wasn't. The last chapter is missing. There was too much answered to stretch to another book and too little left not to finish it. Even so it was fun getting there, even though ultimately disappointing at the abrupt ending.
