Product Description
Product Description
A surprise visitor to the Aerie provides devastating news about Happenstance’s past—but it’s the future that Hap and Umber need to contend with. Their journeys take them on a risky trip to the Inferno to retrieve key pages of Umber’s research, and then to the corrupt kingdom of Sarnica, where Umber’s nemesis has acquired some dragon eggs. Umber wants to study a new magical species, but what starts as a quest for knowledge turns into a dangerous rescue operation. The deft plotting of this action-packed, heart-stopping adventure will pique the imagination and leave readers anxious for the final installment, which releases in February 2011.
About the Author
P. W. (Paul William) Catanese was born in New York and grew up in Connecticut, where he lives with his wife and three children. When he's not writing books, he draws cartoons and works for an advertising agency.
Interestingly, the letters in "P. W. Catanese" can be rearranged to spell "want escape?" Paul figures that's why people read books like his.

A well done audio version, Jan 31 2011

This review is from: Dragon Games (Paperback)
We listened to the first two books in this series and really enjoyed Richard Poe's narration. The characters are very believable and the story line is excellent, very engaging for the parents and kids on our family. We are excited for the next book, The End of Time.

My 8 year old son read this book in a day. He couldn't put it down. He is an excellent reader, so would recommend it for 8-11 year old children, for sure.

Started slow, lots of set-up and review. You must read the first book of the series, Happenstance Found, to understand. But once the groundwork was laid this book took off. If you like Fantasy Action Adventure you should like this one. Ordered the Kindle edition of the 3rd in the trilogy, End of Time, as soon as I finished this one. The biggest flaw in my opinion is that the text to speech is not enabled for the Kindle, but this has nothing to do with the quality of the book just the convenience. Great read!
