It's Time for an Ambush

Maker, Book 1

By: Jester F. Bobbity

Narrated by: Darryle Johnson

The world is infested with demons, vampires, and ghosts who clash with wizards on the fringes of society. Faced with these horrors, there's only one thing a small-time wizard can do: absolutely nothing. Doing something could get a man killed.

Armed only with a modern view of magic, a snarky bloodthirsty apprentice, and no concept of the phrase "fair fight", Maker is far too weak to try and change the world. But when a new group of warlocks moves into the area with the goal of making his life more interesting, Maker will find sitting on the bench is easier said than done.

Spellbinding !

Jester Bobbity is a masterful wordsmith. He creates a compelling character in Maker who narrates with such a matter of fact sensibility and a fresh off beat sense of humor that I felt as if I knew him. The plot is a wild ride of mage fights and epic vampire versus wizard battles. Maker's sidekick, Zora, is a strong heroine who relishes her life as full time wizard protector for Maker. Bobbity has built Maker's world around his private magic potion sales office.

His spells and potions are sometimes real and sometimes a placebo, which is decided according to Maker's pointed life philosophy.

His private practice is a front for the real magic working to uphold the order in society.

I can't wait for Book 2. I want to get to know Maker's bloodline and origin before he gets mixed up in magic.

What new threats will put society at risk and demand that Maker and Zora free our world from the clutches of evil?

hopefully first of many

Loved it! I don't read much fiction but breezed right through this one. Great narration, interesting characters , good mix of action gore and humor. Would love to hear what these characters get up to next!

Pretty damn cool!

Self deprecating, violent, and funny, Maker was a wonderful companion on my morning commute. The story has a ton of imagination, a nicely drawn world that is totally believable. The narrator's personality shone through as he inhabited the main character. I could almost smell the ozone during the battles. Hey, Bobbity, how about another!

great

I look forward to listening this book every time I can. I'll be sad when it is over. Why am I hooked? It is not easy to say.

The MC Maker is one of my favorites, Zora is a close second. Miles is fully fleshed out for a small side character. Duke is interesting. Rollo is not bad. Neka...well the mystery of who and what he really is... I'm hooked. All the characters add to the story, none detract. No annoying romance to spoil from this very listenable action tale. Also, I like the introspection. Nice, no...very good world building.

I enjoy the narrator, perfect choice. The delivery is worth listening instead of reading.

I hope there is another audiobook in this Series. And soon.

So! Addictive!

This book was so great! Sixteen hour road trip and I couldn't turn it off :)
