Product Description
After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year—their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.
It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain—alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope—if they don’t turn on each other first.

Best read of the year. August 29, 2008
I had been waiting for the Magician since I read the Alchemyst. The author has captured my attention. History, fantasy, and mythology are seamlessly blended into a story that pulls you along in an exciting, action-filled plot.
The author rarely wastes our time, every chapter he brings to us new developments, some answers, and yet more questions to be answered in the next novel. The characters are all utterly believable, and the questions that surround characters like Flamel and Dee kept me hooked.
It is rather hard to believe that Scott managed to cram this book in a short time (a day or two,) but living through every second with the characters makes the story, their actions, and everything else more credible.
I simply cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
Flamel August 29, 2008
I ordered The Alchemyst to see if I'd be interested in this proposed series. Even though it is written for young adults, it is interesting to see how the author handles the rumors of Flamel's long life. It's a fun read.
SO much FUN! August 24, 2008
Loved every word in this book! I miss the Harry Potter books terribly, and picked up the first book in this series simply because it mentioned Nicholas Flamel, a name I recognized from the first Harry Potter book. I was hooked and waited impatiently for the next book to come out, was so happy to see it! I just finished reading it, and found it better than the first!! I love the inclusion of historical places, and characters! I get thrilled "meeting" characters from the past! It is such a great series!!! I CAN NOT wait for the next one! Great story.

The magician can only be described as AMAZING. i picked up this book expecting greatness and was still surprised that what a great book this was. A word of advice keep your computer close you will want... i take that back..NEED to look up the different things the author put into this book. its crazy how much detail was put into this book and those that have read lots of fiction will find themselves recalling facts that they have one read before. A must read
Wonderful! Fantastic! Continues a great story! August 18, 2008

There's nothing like turning world history on it's ear in such a believable way. Every chapter ends on a cliff-hanger and you have to keep going! The only disappointment is this second book isn't read by the same person as the first and it's a bit of an adjustment, but it certainly doesn't detract from the story itself.
