The Golem's Eye

By: Jonathan Stroud

Narrated by: Steven Pacey

This second volume of the brilliant, bestselling Bartimaeus sequence.

Two years have passed since the events of The Amulet of Samarkand and the young magician Nathaniel is rising fast through the government ranks. But his career is suddenly threatened by a series of terrifying crises. A dangerous golem makes random attacks on London and other raids, even more threatening, are perpetrated by the Resistance. Nathaniel and Bartimaeus travel to Prague, enemy city of ancient magic, but while they are there uproar breaks out at home and Nathaniel returns to find his reputation in tatters. Can he rescue it from his Machiavellian adversaries in the government bent on his destruction?

A thrilling sequel in which the relationship between the young magician and the djinni remains as teasing and complex as ever.

Critic reviews

The alternating perspective between the three central characters adds depth, detail and humour to the action-packed thrills

A vast plum pudding of a novel that improves with each mouthful

Fresh, downbeat, witty and wise, this novel is a worthy sequel to The Amulet of Samarkand

Readers can rest easy: this sequel is no pale imitation of its predecessor. The Golem's Eye is another sophisticated, sardonic satire . . . Fast paced, frightening and funny, and you don't want it to end

Fantastic book well narrated for start to finish.

Fantastic book well narrated for start to finish look forward to book three of series.

Steven pacey

Steven Pacey is an incredible narrator the story and characters transport you. Loved it so

A real nail-biter

Bartimeus is a colourful and witty character, and the story line is fabulously entertaining. Love this series.

An excellent sequel

The book is very well written and this narrated version just adds to the enjoyment. My boys have whiled away car journeys engrossed in this wonderful trilogy! I could not recommend it more
