Mark's Magic

Fat Man's Gift, Book 1

By: Jerry Boyd

Narrated by: Chris Ciulla

Mark was happy enough, working as a mechanic.

He didn't know that he was more than that until his mother gave him some keepsakes from his grandfather. Those opened his eyes to a whole world that he hadn't realized he had a place in. Watch him learn to use his new skills.

the fantasy

it's a good listen. now you have my interest. I have some of Jerry Boyd's books. NEXT?

A cracking origin story setting out the world the stories live in. And also the people we will learn about who inhabit it

The authors loyalty to his audible reader of his wonderful Bob and Nicki series where the reader’s Missouri hillbilly voice is a good fit. But to me it would have been a better fit if some of his other voices were used for the protagonists. I look forward to learning about the magic system that came into Mark’s world when the A bombs that ended WW2 were dropped on Japan. All in all a very good listen and I will be buying the next installment just as I buy every recording of the Bob and Niki as soon as it is released.

Mark learns That he has magic

While Mark is working on learning his magic, he finds that his teacher is his father.

Chris and Jerry do it again.

I've read all of Jerry's Bob and Nikki series, and buy Chris' readings of them as soon as they come out. I truly liked this new venture of their's. I have the KU version of Dr Mark, but I'mma gonna wait until Chris does the audiobook.

home spun humor

Narration was honestly spot on. Southern sensibility shone out at every turn. Honestly a really good read or listen in this case.
The story had me smiling from the beginning to the end. Now on to book two.
