DragonMan: Experiment in Terror

By: Ted Lazaris

Narrated by: Kennedy Phillips

Luke Starr: Milwaukee boy. Crown prince of Spellville, aka DragonMan.

Ten years ago, Luke discovered he was the chosen one of Spellville, a magical alternate dimension. He used his abilities as DragonMan to fight against the ruthless Unter. With the help of his great-grandfather Alaba and the other wizards of Spellville, Luke banished Unter into the inescapable Eon Vault. All was well. Until a supernova lends Unter the power to break free.... Now, the evil one is back and stronger than ever.

Outraged by his previous defeat, Unter will hit Luke where it hurts most. Followers. Friends. Family. Kidnapping one of Luke’s sisters and his girlfriend, Jenny Anderson, Unter will take one hostage on Earth, the other on Spellville. While the dragon is distracted by his loved ones in peril, the evil one will begin to terraform both worlds for his dying race.

Luke must make a choice: the Earth or Spellville, his sister or the woman he loves....

A cat-and-mouse game with no rewards, only consequences. Our young hero must quickly adapt to this experiment in terror or watch his world be destroyed by a godlike being bent on revenge.

Time is running out, chosen one. Tick tock.... Tick tock....

The amazing story of DragonMan was born at the dawn of the 21st century, when the world, about to change forever, watched in disbelief as four passenger airliners crashed, not only into buildings and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but into the American certainty that the horrors of the outside world could not touch them at home.

It was into this world that a new kind of superhero emerged, one for whom the lines between good and evil are blurred. Is he friend? Or is he foe? No one knows for sure. What they do know, however, is that as a friend there is no one better.

Ted Lazaris is an American best-selling author with seven best-sellers to his name, so far; the titles are as follows: DragonMan - The Adventures of Luke Starr, DragonMan - The Poseidon Encounter, DragonMan - Face of the Unknown, DragonMan - Descendants of Man, DragonMan: Unfathomable, DragonMan: Experiment in Terror, and DragonMan - The Awakening.

It had promise

The quality of the recording was all over the place. The story was decent enough though it seemed a bit rushed in places. If the audio had been better I could have given it another star.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sound quality

Let me start off by saying, take my review with a grain of salt. This is my first introduction to DragonMan and the DragonMan series. I found the character interesting and definitely would like to know more. I am planning on starting at the beginning and working my way through the series.

The Story:
I like the story, it was good. But I felt like it needed more character development. Not necessarily for the main character, but the secondary characters. Now that may have been covered in the previous books. Like I said in the beginning this is my first introduction to DragonMan. but If that is the case. I believe to get a better understanding of context, one may need to read the previous books in this series. That being said I don't think you will find it too hard to follow the basic story. It's really just the background information.

The Audiobook:
Now for the audio. Looking at Kennedy Phillips on audible, I can see that he has only been the narrator for three books. Including this one. I think it shows in sound quality, editing, and overall performance. Somewhere around chapter 20 I noticed a couple of the sentences repeating.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Exciting Story!

Both the writing and narration are excellent in this fantasy tale. The only flaws I found were a few sound editing errors.
