Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...

Critic reviews

A compelling and action-filled adventure . . . A galloping good example of its genre

This book is an achievement. Readers will be transported

A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story

A stirring fantasy of epic proportions

Christopher has created a complex and fascinating world in this first book of his Eragon trilogy . . . Filled with history, ancient tales, magic, magical creatures, and with a superbly crafted story "Eragon" is sure to delight many lovers of fantasy tales

It's a story of mystery, excitement and magic . . . A riproaring story (also featured in Haverhill Echo)

This is an action-packed fantasy adventure that will appeal to both adults and younger readers

My 12-year-old son loves fantasy and adventure novels, and after reading Eragon on his suggestion, I now understand why: this book creates an alternate world... Emerging out of it to face ordinary life in 2006 London is a startling wrench

Love the book can't wait to read the next book, its about a boy who finds an egg hard as stone that seemed to flash there in front of his eyes. He doesn't know its an egg and tries to sell it for food. One day it hatches into a dragon, he learns how to look after it, but an evil king wants it. The king kills his stepfather and burns down his home. An old dragon rider finds him and helps him to get away. He teaches him about riding magic and being a loyal dragon rider. Its great.
