About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands....

Yes I'm aware...but dragons.

So I'm aware people don't like the book because of obvious LOTR and Star Wars references. I'm aware this isn't a literary phenomenon which shook the world, but I enjoyed it then (in my teens) and I enjoyed it now.

It's got magic and elves and dragon. Now when I don't have the time to read fiction stories anymore, I really appreciate this audiobook. I'm going to finish the series now.

Coming back to the book, I enjoyed the fast paced story and the characters of Murtagh and Obi Wan, I mean Brom.

Did I mention about the dragons? I want to read about the elves Gandalf and the dragons.
