The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

Michael Scott, author of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, discusses his motivations and inspirations for his New York Times Best-selling series.

The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.

The records show that he died in 1418.

But his tomb is empty.

The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.

Sometimes legends are true.

And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

When I think of flamel, I see the doctor from house.the twins, Len and rin kagamine.scathach, a slightly girly looking version of madara uchiha.Dee, I see the bad guy from the sorcerers apprentice and for dare, I see the evil with from.enchanted, only a bit tweaked.those r just the main characters too.

The books you write insure my love for reading and I find myself getting irated at Josh for not liking flamel and instead he likes John :|

But really a book to add to any book shop

BTW i managed to draw my image of Dr.John Dee whoever wants it pm me :D

[playaN3]

I got the first and the second ones...the scorceress is on the bulgarian book shops now...but i regret the fact that the necromancer will come late in 2012 because it will take long to be translated and transported in bugaria...not to mention how many ppl now love this series...it will be extremly hard to find.

I LOVE THIS SERIES! I CANT WAIT TO GET IT ALL! Honestly i thought the Scorceress was the last book in :D

Also I recommend "The ranger's apprentice" book series EPIC WIN!

A truly wonderful and exiting series. A MUST READ for any fan of fiction!!!! :D
