Synopsis

Middle-aged, lazy, and out of shape, spellsinger Jon-Tom attempts to break out of domestic drudgery with one last great adventure.

Jon-Tom and Mudge are bored.

Their adventuring days long behind them, the spellsinger and his once-thieving otter sidekick have settled into a life of tepid domesticity, and they are sick of it. They hunger for an old-fashioned adventure, but there are no more great evils to combat. And so they decide to follow the music. Literally.

A drifting cloud of lost chords has taken to floating around Jon-Tom, and following it puts them on the trail of an evil that terrifies the spellsinger. Something is stealing music. Finding out who, and why, is responsible for the silencing of the instruments will put Jon-Tom and Mudge into great peril, at the hands of a selfish elephant, a greedy black bear, and a whirlpool with a filthy sense of humor. Seeking adventure, they've stumbled into one turn that may turn out to be their last.

I kind of burned out on this series many years ago so I never read this book. Then, I started reading some other works by Alan Dean Foster and this one kept popping up. Finally, I decided to give it a try. It was an amusing read. I've always loved the character Mudge and he really didn't disappoint.......more

Goodreads review by Judi on June 13, 2019

This one went back to the original formula with Jon-Tom and Mudge going adventuring. A welcome return and much preferred to the last book with their children. I loved this one not only for the preferred characters but for the humor: I laughed out loud several times, especially in the end few chapter......more

Goodreads review by David J. Reese on November 04, 2017

Much better than the previous book about the children's adventure. It was easy reading and I would recommend to anyone who wanted to wrap up the series. It is pretty weird to read a couple of books in the series decades after I read the first 5 or 6... At times though, I was reminded of my reading t......more

Goodreads review by Tim on April 24, 2024

There was a certain enjoyability in going back to a familiar world and characters - but part of the charm of the spellsinger series was the use of 'real world' songs in a fantasy world, and the ensuing unpredictable results and this is missing from this volume.......more
