About this listen

Altin Meade is a sorcerer with a curse. Seeking to avoid a looming doom, he sets his magical sights on the stars--a quest that will likely bring about the very consequence he's seeking to escape.

Far across the galaxy, Ensign Orli Pewter of planet Earth has a looming doom of her own--one of loneliness, depression and, worse, a race of genocidal aliens known as Hostiles seeking to destroy humanity. Trapped aboard a spaceship she never asked to be upon, Orli is in a fight for both her life and her sanity.

Worlds apart, Altin and Orli share a destiny, but neither knows the other is alive. The Hostiles know. And they have other plans.

The Galactic Mageis the first book in The Galactic Mage Series. Book 2,Rift in the Races, is now available, and book 3, Hostiles, is expected to be released mid 2013.

It might be a good story, but I never got past the second chapter.The narration is so monotone it destroys interest.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of David Bodtcher?

Stephen Fry, Peter Joyce, Robert Glenister or Stefan Rudnicki

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Galactic Mage (Volume 1)?

In audio books the Narrator is key.

Worst Audiobook I have ever heard

not a bad story, in fact I rather enjoyed it especially when the couple finally met. my only problem was that that meeting didn't happen until three quarters of the way through, though I do understand about a need for some back story and where everybody came from.
I do liked the happy ending but if there is a book 2 then it won't last, I do hope the couple stays together.

a good start

Any additional comments?

This is a really great story and I love it and the idea. However David Botcher reads in his narration like he's trying to read poetry and it don't sound right.

Great Story

Couldn't wait to hear the next bit, had only been listening to books in the car on longer journeys. But had to bring this one in with me to keep listening. Loading up the next in the series straight away.
