The Alchemyst series by Michael Scott

I picked up a random book off of a store room shelf in 2007 and let it sit on my shelf for a few months before actually reading it. The book was The Alchemyst, as soon as I started reading it I was enthraled in a land of aura, golems, elder magic, and of course alchemy. The book didn't even have the dreaded slow start, where the first few chapters are all boring. It just dove right into the action with a giant battle over the book of Abraham.
Needless to say I was delighted when I found out that there was a sequel, The Magician, not even a month out on the shelves. So I went down to the book store picked up a copy and read through it as fast as I could. It was every bit as good as the first one, so good in fact that I looked up some more info on it over the internet. I found out that he was planning a six-book long story and the next installment, The Sorceress would be coming out May 26th. Well here we are on the 3rd of June and I still can't find a copy so I haven't read it yet. I can imagine that it's going to be as brilliant as its predecessors and I can't wait to read it and the rest of the series.

I saw the book at Hastings just the other day Hempy... You should check there... I, on the other hand, have been playing video games more than reading even though I bought two books also...

Yes, but I have stolen them for the moment

Anyway, I heard about that series too, hempy. I heard they were pretty good, so both of you guys saying it probably means it's true.

Yeah..cant wait for the necromancer to come out (idfc if this topic was made in june,i only just recently finished the alchemyst,and currently not even close to halfway of the magician)

Srsly, what's not fair is putting up posters for the Necromancer when it comes out in 2010! Got me all excited thinking 'Hurray it's probably only a month or two!' Then I saw 2010 and I was all like, '2010?! That's in a freakin' month or two! grrr.'........wait, 2010 is totally in a month or two! Hurray!

The Necromancer: 2010
The Warlock: 2011
The Enchantress: 2012

lol, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will come out in january, or something. it could come out in "Spring 2010" or something. but actually, winter would be a good time to release new books, since people are staying inside all warm and cuddly.
