Space Pirate Charlie

The Dragon Mage, Book 2

By: Scott Baron

Narrated by: Gary Bennett

Charlie was living the life of luxury as an alien wizard’s gladiator slave. It was not ideal.

He had survived a spaceship crash, alien slave traders, space pirates, and fierce gladiatorial combat. Hell, he’d even faced an actual fire-breathing dragon and lived, but now, he was presented with an even greater challenge. Domestic living, captive on a strange world.

Charlie almost had to laugh at his changing circumstances, having seen it all since a wormhole spat him out in a distant galaxy. He learned to fight, he learned to use magic, he even learned to kill - to survive at all costs. And that hard work had somehow landed him a cushy life on a powerful wizard’s estate. But all was not what it seemed.

Something was wrong, and he still wasn’t a free man. Captivity, even in a gilded cage such as this, was abhorrent to the spaceman from Earth. And while the new existence he had fallen into seemed one of luxury, he couldn’t help but wonder when it would all go to hell.

He should have known, with his luck, the answer was soon.

great for all ages

My whole family had enjoyed the adventures of Charlie. Keep up the great work.

Another great adventure

There were some pretty crazy turns in this one but they were all great. The ending has me a little perplexed as for the quantum mechanics of it but I can't wait for what is next.

really good

Probably just as good as the first the story was a little more streamlined this time so I'm not sure if I like that or I didn't like that but it was still good with a great ending I thought and can't wait for the next one

Exhilarating

Wow what a crazy ending was not expecting that loved the ending of such a creative on the edge story.

Great continuation to a great story

The title of this one feels like it would have been more appropriate as the header for the second arc of the first book as honestly there is very little pirate related stuff in it and it's really just a mention of his past and some re-connections. I get it though this would have been hard to title. While this book still has plenty of action the majority of it isn't nearly as fast paced or seat of your pants as the first one but it still largely feels like a combination of Farscape and Forest Gump. We get a little bit of slice of life and mystery in this one followed by some seat of the pants and finally a resolution. I personally feel the first book as better but for the average reader this one may have been easier to keep up with. The narration is once again fantastic as well and the overall story advances in an interesting way. Definitely a good continuation.
