This story begins in the "Magical Earth," which is just like the normal Earth around 584 AD or so. However the Magical Earth is populated by magical creatures and wizards. An army of goblins and orcs is sweeping across the land. In their path is a dwarven castle/city called Dwarven Pass. The goblins, who are armed with flying warships, wolf-riding infantry, and a hundred thousand orcish infantrymen, attack in a swarm during the night. Only the power of a small boy is able to turn the tide.

I have read several books like this but none of them have so realistically portrayed a midevil battle. Siege machines, bows, crossbows, and even slings are used by the orcs and goblins. If you want to experience a realisic and yet magical battle I would recommend you buy this book.

...ABACAR THE WIZARD is full of wonderful magic and adventure. It will thrill the young kids who are so fascinated with Harry
Potter and bring out the child in any adult who has ever dreamed of magic, wizards, goblins, elves and any other part of Fantasy
they've imagined.

Mr. Erenberger has an unlimited imagination and an awsome writing voice. He accomplished stirring my excitement with his
clever characters and his thrilling storyline.

I only had one small problem with the book and that was the editing of the dialogue. When one character was speaking, it was
hard to figure out which one it was with hardly a break between sentences. I hope this works out better for Mr. Erenberger on
book Two because I for one would love to keep reading his ABACAR THE WIZARD BOOKS! I recommend them highly to
anyone who loves a great Fantasy! Review by: Stacey Bucholz

This book has it all, including a good plot, fascinating characters, and tons of action. My favorite character is a powerful goblin warrior named Galgu-Ra. He is also known as the "Slayer of Armies," because he can take on a hundred swordsmen and win. He has red skin, white hair and black runes tattooed all over his body. The runes have magical properties which give him incredible strength and regeneration powers. These combined with a couple of magical swords make him a very formidable opponent. Besides that he is just cool. He leaps into battle at the first opportunity because he loves to fight.

Abacar is cool too. He can do just about anything with his spells, including changing a cup into a tiger that obeys his every command.

The list of fascinating characters is huge, including a pair of evil witches (who eat children), a unicorn named firemane (which is black with a red mane), a fierce dwarf warrior named Pywaket, and a lady elf archer named Stephanie. All of the characters undergo a lot of development during the book by aquiring new magical items and powers.

If you like action, adventure and fantasy, buy Abacar the Wizard. You will love it!

Take an adventure upon the Magical Earth. The year is 564 AD. The Roman Empire's rule of Europe is being challenged by a fearsome army of goblins. The only power capable of stopping this force is a young wizard named Abacar. Learn how he and his friends travel across Europe in a flying ship, and hnow they deal with dragons, orcs, witches, and other monsters. They also meet many new friends along the way, including elves, dwarves, and a unicorn named Firemane.

(That is what is on the back cover)

This book is chuck full of sword fights. Abacar himself is cool. You have to read the book to know exactly why, but let's just say that he's probably the most powerful wizard ever depicted in any story book. Buy it today you won't be sorry I promise.

Abacar the Wizard is a wonderful story of a child magical prodigy. The setting, although fairly typical of the fantasy genre (i.e.: a world very much like our own at some point in medieval history, with magic that is quite real) is handled well, and described in such a way that does not jar with the world we have read about in mythology. The characters are interesting, and the plot never stops moving. Kids (of all ages) will enjoy this story.

Where _The Lord of the Rings_ is written by a linguist (and it shows); where _The Chrinicles of Narnia_ is written by a theologian (and it shows); _Abacar the Wizard_ is written by a fan of fantasy, action/adventure, and young-adult fiction (and it shows). The book is very approachable, quickly paced, and reads (in many ways) like a movie script (you can almost see the scene transition fades as you read).

Well done. I am looking forward to Volume 2 (and 3, and 4, and 5, and...)

Review by my 8 year old son who devoured this book: "It was good. It was very adventurous. Abacar learned new spells. It was happy and sad at times. There was some kissing in one chapter."

Abacar the Wizard is filled with amazing sword fights, wizard duels, enormous battles involving tens of thousands of combatants and a huge variety of interresting creatures and monsters.
It takes place on an alternate Earth, called the "Magical Earth," where wizards, dragons and unicorns live. I rather liked this aproach, because it made it a lot easier to imagine the many different locations (since they take place in Europe).
The characters are fascinating, including Abacar himself who is an extremely powerful wizard boy capable of laying waste to whole armies with cataclysmic lightning bolt spells. There are also several dwarves, humans, elves and sinister goblin characters. All of which are quite fascinating.

The plot of the story builds and builds into two epic, major battles between an army of Dwarves and an army of orcs, goblins and dragons. Very suspensefull and thrilling.

Best book I ever read in my life!As the gifted powered young boy tries to discover his own power of endless hights middle earth is facing its own problem with goblins who have taken the king of the orcs captive .Can the humans,elvs,dwarfs,Abacar and his friends along with the help of a giant unicorn named Firemane stop the goblins before they go back to thier home and get an army of goblins that could destroy the world? Find out in Abacar The Wizard.

This book has enormous battles, heroes delving into dungeons, heroes fighting and running from dragons, and lots more. I could not put it down until I read every page. My son read all of the Harry Potter books and he tells me that Abacar is "much better" than all of them put together.
