Marooned in another universe, a musician leads a motley army to save two worlds, in an entertaining tale by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
  Jon-Tom just wanted to go home. Trapped in a world where animals speak and magic is real, the American college student yearned for an ordinary dorm-room life. But here his music has magical power—even if he can’t control it—which may be able to save the world from the army of the Plated Folk, whose sinister queen plans on killing and eating every warm-blooded mammal she can get her pincers on and taking over their lands. The great battle is coming, and Jon-Tom, whose posse includes a wizarding turtle, a cowardly bat, and an otter with a filthy mind, must raise an army to fight it. To find allies they must make an impossible journey, across mountains and rivers no one has ever passed before. Survival will be a miracle—but Jon-Tom is no ordinary musician.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and exciting but you should read Spellsinger first.
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2016

    This is the second book in the spellsinger series. More properly it is part 2 of the first book in the spellsinger series. It is a direct carry on from Spellsinger and there is no real point in reading it if you haven't read the first book. Alan Dean Foster has created a fantasy world where animals walk on their back legs, talk and wear clothes. They have all the characteristics of humans and humans are a minority.
    In this book Jon has to defeat the plated folk as they attempt to take over the world. His weapons are songs which become spells when played on his guitar. He is aided by Clothahump who is a turtle and the world's greatest magician and a cast of characters who amaze and amuse in equal measure.
    Alan Dean Foster creates a vivid and exciting world with dangers and pleasures at every turn. The book is fast paced and laced with humour. If you squint hard enough you can see where the guitar in Soul Music came from too. It's a great book but you'll enjoy it more if you've read the first book in the series.

    Schön, daß jetzt als E-Book wiederzulesen. Kann ich nur empfehlen für Freude der Fantasy. Allerdings hat Mr Foster einen umfangreichen Wortschatz, ohne Lexikon war es für mich schwierig und ich lese rel viel auf Englisch !

    Really enjoyed it. The first book was too short and just got started this takes the story through to a sensible stopping point.

    Alan comes up with some more unique concepts to entertain us all. He also continues to flesh out his world with more species and a nightmare or two. And we get to see the threat that Clothahump called JonTom to help with. It is fun to try to figure out what the threat is as our heros gain clues. A good entertaining read.
