About this listen
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson—creator of the smash-hit science fiction and fantasy series Skyward, The Stormlight Archive, and Mistborn—comes a new science fiction adventure. Narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading.
A man awakens in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?
Note from Brandon:
Sometimes an idea just won’t let go of you for years. The initial seed of this novel was the title that eventually turned into The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. At first there was no story go to with that title, but I wrote it down and kept coming back to it, wondering what that book could possibly be about. Something else I thought about off and on for years was the classic concept of a man waking up in another time and another place, with no idea how he got there. It was when those two ideas came together, and I placed a book with that title into that man’s hands, that this novel was born. I hope you’ll have as much fun with it as I did!

a great story based on the old sci-fi dating re technology and magic
a very creative mix of sci-fi and fantasy with a tight cohesive and at times cute narrative

Great little story
I really enjoyed this story, totally different from other Brandon stories but a delightful read. I read the book in ebook first and then listened to the audio book because I’m a fan of Kramer and Reading. I’m hoping to see more books exploring this new setting and seeing how John develops his wizardry and helps this new world develop.

Greatly entertaining and original
This book was both humorous and thought-provoking. I really enjoyed both the concept, the story and the characters. A great stand alone story.

Enjoyable light listen
This was brilliantly written, light and perfect for your drive to and from work. The story and characters are intriguing, and the narrator does a good job bringing it to life.

Great story, but...
Michael Kramer's narration was top notch as always, EXCEPT for his British accents, which were toe-curlingly awful. I guess they sound fine to an American ear, but to a British ear? Good grief. Thankfully the story was good enough to make me grit my teeth and bear it.

Just brilliant
One of the best books I've read in a very long time. Funny and engaging and incredibly interesting. I wasn't expecting such a brilliant mix of sci-fi, fantasy and history but I was immediately sucked in.
