About this listen
When fellow student John Foremile turns up at his flat on a rain-sodden winter’s night, former Merchant Navy Captain Rex Slingsby thinks he’s in for just another boozy night down the pub. John, however, has come laden with a package of ancient-looking manuscripts, and Rex is soon engrossed in reading an outlandish tale of a powerful, benevolent race of Dragons and of the human wizards hell-bent on destroying them.
Incredulous at first, the two friends quickly find themselves embroiled in an epic quest to rescue a fertile dragon’s egg, hidden over a thousand years before in a remote cave by its desperate mother. Pitted against them is a motley crew of 12-foot Trolls, hellish hounds, and power-crazed Mafioso wizards, all of whom, it seems, will stop at nothing to bring Rex and John’s quest to a premature and deadly end.
There Be Dragons, book one of The Word trilogy, introduces a brilliantly imagined and often disconcerting universe, sweeping listeners breathlessly along from cosy bachelor pads to desolate Welsh mountainsides; from state-of-the-art yachts to mind boggling planets thousands of light years away.

Wow! Hard-core sci-fi fans will love this!
Fans of Arthur C Clark, Carl Sagan and Alistair Reynolds will love There be Dragons. A rich tapestry of hard-core sci-fi, blended with classic slapstick British comedy styles make this a great listen, with rich and thought-provoking concepts about the nature of our universe and why we are here, interspersed with fast-paced action make this a great first book in what looks to be an epic tale. The narration is split between two fantastic readers, who both bring their own unique styles to this exciting adventure. I particularly enjoyed the way the narrators are used to highlight the different timelines, as the book does jump around in time and space quite a lot, so having two narrators work on this made a lot of sense. I can’t wait to hear the second book in the series.
