Publisher's Summary

Gary Leger thought life after college would bring great things. Instead, he's stuck in a dead-end job and finding that the real world isn't all it's cracked up to be. But when he walks into the woods behind his house one day, Gary finds a world beyond the "real world" - a realm of elves and dwarfs and witches and dragons. There he discovers that he is the only one who can wear the armor of the land's lost hero - and wield a magical spear. And if he doesn't, he can never go home again.

©1993 R.A. Salvatore (P)2010 Tantor

Boehmer hits another homer!

Paul Boehmer is one of my favourite narrators, and this time he does VOICES! So good. The story is interesting and more humorous than Salvatore’s other works that I love and cherish. A solid adventure.

good story, took time to adjust to narrator

I enjoyed the story, some unique elements, interesting use of those elements.

It took me a long time to be able to 'forget' that is was being narrated. The narration was done very well but the voice had a quality about it that made me keep thinking about the voice rather than just getting lost in the story. I have since decided that it just takes me a book and a half to get used to a new narrator.
