| MORE THAN MAGICK Cover blurb: WHAT IF YOU WERE TOLD YOU HAVE A POWER YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT? WHAT IF YOU WERE TOLD THAT YOU HAVE TO USE IT TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE FROM A MAJOR BADDIE? WHAT IF NO ONE WILL TELL YOU HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS? A recent college graduate, Scott Madison is half-heartedly considering his future when he reads an ad on the dorm bulletin board. He ends up taking the job with Jake Kesten, Martial Arts expert and Ph.D. math whiz, and finds himself busting computer hackers for the government. It’s an interesting job, if a little rough at times. Still, it’s just a job. Then Jake and Scott get a visit from what, apparently, is an old friend of Jake’s – Arion. Scott thinks Arion dresses a little funny, what with the robes and all. But then Arion proclaims himself an Adept at Magick. Before Scott can even roll his eyes, he finds himself whisked away to another world where he joins his fellow adventurers, all plucked as unceremoniously from their own home worlds. Their mission? To save the Elfaeden and their friends, the Crystal Dragons. Their secret weapon? Scott Madison. Who is about to discover that there is something, indeed, MORE THAN MAGICK. What they're saying about "More Than Magick" Author Charles Sasser-- "Rick has an amazing talent for forging fantastic characters that seem to come to life in real time.... In More Than Magick, he has created a real page turner, a world of magic populated by elves, magicians, demons, talking dragons and vampires, full of mystery, delight, wonder and action. I'll read more of Rick's stuff after this." Online reviewer Harriet Klausner-- 5 out of 5 stars. Excellent "...This epic outer space fantasy is a tremendous tale... Somewhat tongue in cheek, the story line hooks the reader from the moment Jake’s archeologist pal drags him to Lake Champlain before the Feds arrive and never lets up until the final confrontation in which Scott tries to save the universe from a powerful baddie." Sondrea Cash at Romance Reviews Today-- A Perfect 10 "...Rick Taubold's debut book is an absolute winner. ...a splendid, larger than life tale comes to fruition through a cast of interesting, diverse and believable characters, well-written dialogue, exciting action and a bit of romance.... I look forward to more from this highly talented author." Online reviewer Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews-- 4.5 Stars! "...This novel is hard to write an enlightening synopsis for.... There are quite a few characters, each with interesting attitudes and abilities. There are just as many problems and obstacles too. Just when I thought I understood it all, the "malapert" author throws in twists. Not just one twist. Nooooo. All-in-all, you will find yourself royally entertained, never bored, and begging for more." |
