Learn moreTwentysomething bartender Jason Bishop’s world is shattered when his estranged father commits suicide, but the greater shock comes when he learns his father was a secret agent in the employ of the Invisible Hand, an ancient society of spies wielding magic in a centuries-spanning war. Now the Golden Dawn, the shadowy cabal of witches and warlocks responsible for Daniel Bishop’s murder and for the death of Jason’s mother years before, have Jason in their sights. His survival will depend on mastering his own dormant magic abilities, providing he makes it through the training.
From New York to Paris and to world between worlds, Jason’s journey through the realm of magic will be fraught with peril. But with enemies and allies on both sides of this war, whom can he trust? The Invisible Hand, who have been more of a family than his own family ever was? The Golden Dawn, who may know the secrets behind his mysterious lineage?
For Jason Bishop, only one thing is for certain: the magic he has slowly been mastering is telling him not to trust anybody.
Brad Abraham was born in Ottawa, raised across Canada and the US, and now makes his home in NYC. A writer of film (Fresh Meat), television (60 Squadron) and comics (Mixtape), Magicians Impossible is his first novel.
Bradford Hastings is a voice talent and audiobook narrator.
Reviews
“Crackling prose and kinetic characters make Abraham’s debut a winner.”
“From the explosive start, Hastings capitalizes on Abraham’s cinematic writing with an energetic performance…Hastings takes full advantage of his deep, gravelly voice to add mystery and a touch of menace. During the many action sequences, Hastings maintains a steady but electric pace to keep listeners engaged.”
“Abraham creates a sympathetic lead in Jason…The premise of espionage between dueling secret magical societies is exciting, but the added family drama gives this outing extra dimension. Verdict: From its action-packed opening sequence, this is a cinematic, fast-paced debut from a writer more known in comics, television, and film.”
“Jason fighting the forces of evil and learning about his powers is an amusing and captivating adventure.”
“From the first sentence, Brad Abraham pulls you in to a darkly magical, energetic world where anything can happen and pulls the rug out from under you when you least expect it.”
“Urban fantasy hasn’t felt this fresh—or this compulsively readable—since Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. Brad Abraham has conjured a pitch-perfect fever dream of myth, magic, intrigue, and pulse-pounding action, set in a vividly imagined underworld of dangerous cabals and supernatural espionage. It’s a spell you won’t want to break.”
“Part hard-boiled thriller, part magical mayhem, Magicians Impossible is a page-turning adventure where the stakes are high and the magic is mind-blowing. It’s urban fantasy at its very best.”
“Magicians Impossible is a mindbending page-turner! A brilliant and unique mashup of spells, myth, and mayhem, once it got its claws in me I couldn’t put it down. Like a veteran stage magician, Brad Abraham has created a hip thriller that turns convention on its ear with misdirection and mayhem. A must-read for enthusiasts of edgy and extreme fiction.”
