Lyndon Hardy writes fantasy with an eye towards making the various disciplines in a logical and entertaining fashion -- Amazon customer Sylvia felt a wave of disorientation. Her senses rampaged like a boiling cauldron. Flashes of light across the spectrum burst into her eyes. She heard a cacophony of tinkling bells, croaking bullfrogs, and the rumble of earthquakes. The smell of lavender mixed with the putridness of cesspools. Her arms erupted with goosebumps while her legs felt as if they were blistering. She was falling, falling … Double Magic -- a stirring tale of adventure,action, magic -- and romance.

About the author

Lyndon Hardy

11 books149 followers
New York Times best-selling author of the Magic by the Numbers fantasy series.

One Last Heist, the seventh book in the series, is now available.

I meld my knowledg in physics with the fantasy of alchemy, sorcery, and wizardry to produce tales in which there are constraints and limitations. Magic is not omnipotent. When the protagonists are in a jam, they are not saved with a simple bibbity, bobbiity, boo.

With the exception that book 5, Magic Times Three, involves the same protagonists as book 4, The Archimage's Fourth Daughter, all the books in the series have different leading characters. They can be read in any order.

I have some experience with adventures in our universe as well -- orchestrating the classic Rose Bowl Card Stunt in 1962. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_R...

I have yet to come up with a plot in which a stamp collector saves the universe.

There was some good stuff here, but I still felt like a jumbled mess, and it never came together in a satisfying way.
