    About this audiobook

    In Xanth, everyone has a talent. But that doesn't mean everyone loves his talent, and no one understands that better than Hapless. Endowed with the ability to conjure any instrument he wants, Hapless could be an extraordinary musician if only he could play a tune that didn't fall ear-piercingly flat. His one desire is to find an instrument he can play. When the Good Magician hears about Hapless's desperate desire, he sends the young man on a quest to find the elusive Isis Orb, a magical talisman that could fulfill his wish. Setting out to achieve the impossible, Hapless meets an eclectic mix of creatures that join him on his journey, all with wishes they hope the Isis Orb will grant.

      "Isis Orb" is a complicated tale of magical powers gone wrong. Not so much that our questing travelers are using their powers for evil, more like the Gods were drunk and got power assignments tangled up with the result that these unhappy travelers all seem to have missed the particular powers they think they need. Somehow, though, the powers they have as a group do the needful and the various quests are completed. Love conquers and contentment ensues. Once again Piers Anthony endows a simple book with a cosmic message to enjoy who we are. This is the 40th book in the Xanth series.I received a review copy of "Isis Orb" by Piers Anthony (Open Road Integrated Media) through NetGalley.com.
