Gene Wolfe
From legendary fantasy author Gene Wolfe comes The Knight, the first half of the Wizard Knight duology, now for the first time in audio.
A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero.
Inside, however, Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons. His adventure will conclude in the second installment of The Wizard Knight, The Wizard.

Good book and narrator

That aside, this is a vastly enjoyable story. Very well voiced, exceptionally so. Though I have listened to many audio books, I cannot say I have heard one better performed, though I have heard some rare ones about as well done.
If you want to enjoy a compelling yarn, you'll be well satisfied. You'll also have a thought provoking experience and a very pleasant one.
A listen to treasure... and repeat.
Not just enjoyable but significant.

Don't listen to the simple minded people who can't understand it. Also the best narrated book I've listened to.

The narration is superb. Many voices are presented with gusto, character, and clarity by Dan Bittner. I did note a couple of awkwardly phrased lines and perhaps some mispronunciations, but these were minor, and did not detract from the powerful telling of a beautiful tale. Highlights include the dialogue between Able and Lothur, and the emotional conclusion in Able's voice. Highly, highly recommended, but be prepared to put in some work to fully enjoy the experience.
Glorious, deep, and wonderfully narrated
