A Whole New World

When Alastair Stone chooses to remain in captivity to save his son, he has no idea how much his life is about to change.

While he does manage to break free from his bizarre prison, his newfound freedom doesn’t come without a price. Everything around him is different—the world, his friends, what he thinks he knows about what he left behind. And despite all the power he commands, he can’t do a thing to fix any of it.

Worse, he’s still bound by an oath he made to his captor—and that contract is now coming due.

Still adjusting to the upheaval that is his life, Stone heads to a pair of tiny, remote towns that share a deadly secret. If he can’t figure out what his captor wants from the towns and find a way around it, hundreds of people could die.

And that isn’t even the worst part.

Welcome to your new world, Dr. Stone. You’d better get up to speed fast.


Prepare to lose yourself in this #1 Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!” Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

R. L. King lives the kind of exotic, jet-set life most authors only dream of. Splitting her time between rescuing orphaned ocelots, tracking down the world’s most baffling cheese-related paranormal mysteries, and playing high-stakes pinochle with albino squirrels, it’s a wonder she finds any time to write at all.

Or, you know, she lives in San Jose with her inordinately patient spouse, four demanding cats, and a crested gecko. Which, as far as she’s concerned, is way better.

Except for the ocelots. That part would have been cool.

Always a great read
At first, I was extremely confused, but as the story unfolded, I breathed a sigh of relief and settled in for another wonderful Stone adventure. Thank goodness RL King writes quickly enough that I won't pine for the next one for too long.

If you haven't gotten into the Alastair Stone world you are totally missing out. This was book 28 and just as crazy, insightful and awesome as book 1 was. There was so much left at the end of the last one and this started way different but then each page brought new things. I totally cannot wait for the next one!!!

This is a good Alastair Stone story. The plot is strong following what happened to Stone after he saved his son from his dragon ancestor in the last book. The pace was good, keeping my interest with equal parts action, details, and conversation. I look forward to reading the next book.

To be frank, the last couple of books were a bit off for me. And the beginning of this one was a bit odd.

However! After that it picks right up. It was a very good story, and not only that, opened up possibilities for new storylines, perhaps even a spinoff?

First of all for the first time this story was missing about 15 or more pages or paragraphs throughout the book. Very irritating but probably Amazon’s fault. The story line was kind of bizarre too. Most definitely my least favorite book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was interesting and thought provoking and demonstrated how gullible we humans are. As usual the characters were fascinating. I can't imagine ending up in a town where house phones were state of the art yet you were in this century. It was interesting to see how he worked around it all again, a truly good, thought provoking book.

Savoured this book when it became available and as usual became engrossed and read it within 48 hrs! Stone’s world and his friends feel like family. This one was different to begin with - but then settled into the usual fascinating account of his ever challenging days and how he (usually) solves the mystery. Love these books and can’t wait for the next one!

Like the previous books in the series another good read. The characters work well. Okay there is nothing too deep here but it is fun to repeatedly slip into the characters lives and it keeps me turning the pages. An excellent read for urban fantasy and magic lovers.
