Backstreet Evolutionist: Book 1

By: Anton Panarin, Philip Parker - translator

Narrated by: Myles Dabbs

I am the Archmage Mikhael. In my life, I have seen many beautiful women and many senseless battles. At some point, I found that the battles outnumbered the beautiful women. This loss of balance prompted me to put an end to all wars. I conducted scientific experiments and even studied the DNA of mages. I was one step away from understanding what makes us go to war when I died....

However, life gave me a second chance. I came to in the body of an infant and discovered I was blessed with a divine gift—the ability to steal genes. Understanding the nature of that gift and how it can be exploited is the task ahead of me.

It's all made more difficult, however, by my new father. He's banished me to the boondocks of his empire because I have no predisposition for magic.

Never mind, I'll get my powers back and I will put an end to war. First, however, I need to learn how to speak.
