MORE THAN MAGICK
What if you were told you have a power that you don't know about? What if you
were told that you have to use it to save the universe from a vindictive alien?
What if no one will tell you how you are supposed to do this?

Recent college graduate Scott Madison is working more or less comfortably with
Jake Kesten, a Ph.D. math whiz, busting computer hackers. Then the
pointy-eared Arion in a wizard's robe shows up. Thrust into a fantasy setting with
some not-from-Earth guys and the thought that it's all a dream--or
Disneyland--works for a while. But crystal dragons, werewolfish guards of
blood-relishing humans (not traditional, undead vampires, but clearly
evil-intentioned), and a bit of sci-fi scenery all put an end to that fancy. And what
is he supposed to think of the young woman popped into their midst against her
will?

Finally confronting the one they were sent after, Scott realizes that his life and
the lives of his companions and countless others all depend on him figuring out
this power of his, which is definitely
MORE THAN MAGICK.

What the reviewers say about "More Than Magick"

Author Charles Sasser:
"Rick has an amazing talent for forging fantastic characters that seem to come to
life in real time...."

Harriet Klausner: 5 out of 5 stars. Excellent
"...This epic outer space fantasy is a tremendous tale...  Somewhat tongue in
cheek, the story line hooks the reader from the moment Jake’s archaeologist pal
drags him to Lake Champlain before the Feds arrive and never lets up until the
final confrontation in which Scott tries to save the universe from a powerful
baddie."

Sondrea Cash at Romance Reviews Today: A Perfect 10
"...Rick Taubold's debut book is an absolute winner.  ...I look forward to more
from this highly talented author."

Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews: 4.5 Stars!
"...you will find yourself royally entertained, never bored, and begging for more."
