Product Description

The New York Times bestseller now in paperback!

In the second book in the New York Times bestselling series, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Light, home to Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Niccolò Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, lives in Paris and is working for Dr. John Dee. He’s in hot pursuit, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope. . . . If they don’t turn on each other first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Jul 26 2008
This review is from: The Magician (Hardcover)
Sophie, Josh, Nicholas, and Scatty retreat to Paris after the disaster on the West Coast. They arrive inside the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur. For Nicholas, he's returning home, but he hasn't been there for hundreds of years. Everything's changed.

Dr. Dee hasn't wasted any time; he immediately called for reinforcements - Machiavelli is already in Paris and waiting for them. With Sophie's newly awakened powers, they are able to escape. Nicholas leads them to the home of his old student. There, they regroup, rest, and recharge.

Once Dr. Dee arrives in Paris things begin to happen. He wants to capture the twins plus the last two pages of the codex, and he's willing to do anything to catch them.

The twins fight back, along with Nicholas, Scatty, Francis, and Joan of Arc. Together they make a stand, but is it enough to stop the powerful Magician?

Michael Scott blends mystery, fantasy, and history perfectly together into an adrenaline-filled, addicting novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars After Harry Read This, Jul 22 2008
By SoMisguided.com "somisguided" (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Magician (Hardcover)
For fans finished with the Harry Potter series, this is an excellent path to take. The legend of Flamel is introduced in Rowling's first book Philosopher's Stone, and this series follows that storyline--that Flamel is immortal because of the elixir of life.


In Scott's series (which isn't based on Potter at all, I just think Potter fans will like it), Scott creates a story based on Nicholas Flamel's book with the secret of the elixir being stolen. There is a prophecy in the book that says this will happen and that the power of twins must be awakened. They can save the world from the Dark Elders--and of course they can also destroy the world if they work with the wrong side.

Great series and I'm looking forward to the other books.
