Synopsis

Marooned in another universe, a young American musician leads a motley army in battle against an enemy that threatens to destroy their world and ours

Jon-Tom just wanted to go home. Trapped in a world where animals speak and magic is real, the American college student yearned for an ordinary dorm-room life. But here his music has magical power—even if he can't control it—which may be able to save the world from the army of the Plated Folk, whose sinister queen plans on killing and eating every warm-blooded mammal she can get her pincers on and taking over their lands.

The great battle is coming, and Jon-Tom, whose posse includes a wizarding turtle, a cowardly bat, and an otter with a filthy mind, must raise an army to fight it. To find allies they must make an impossible journey, across mountains and rivers no one has ever passed before. Survival will be a miracle—but Jon-Tom is no ordinary musician.

I counted up the books I've read by him, and it's 18. The only other autho......more

Closing in on 1*. I liked better while writing review. Go figure. I thought I was done with series, easier to review book I didn't like. Nope. I found lots to like, criticize and ponder. Big battle is most exciting. Maybe quest slows down over large cast? Words and action for all? Why dragon Falameez......more
