Who is Michael G. Manning?

Art of the Adept is the sequence that brings Michael G. Manning to this page, and Disciple of War is the instalment our shelves have picked up. The names alone set the register: magic learned as a discipline, and a story that travels from study towards conflict.

This is long-form fantasy in the traditional mould, running past twenty-one hours, which is the length at which a series stops being a story and becomes a place you go back to. Listeners who like their magic given rules, and their protagonists made to earn every advance, are the natural audience.

The catalogue files it with teen and young adult listening, a reasonable shelf for fantasy of this kind, though the running time suggests it will suit adult listeners just as comfortably.

Tim Gerard Reynolds narrates, a familiar voice on fantasy shelves and a good reason in itself to give this a try. Long series live or die on their reader, and the choice here is a confident one.

Disciple of War is a scheduled arrival, listed ahead of availability so the page is ready when it lands. At close to twenty-two hours it is a genuine investment, best begun when you have a proper stretch of listening in front of you.
