Publisher's summary

The Earth is under siege - and no one knows about it because the invaders erase those whom they consume. A handful of men and women stand on the border between the mundane and the magical. They have a special spark of soul - not quite enough to be naturally gifted in spellcraft but greater than the average person, a tiny flame that can ignite incredible potential. They possess the ability to fight back against the Vorid: the ability to become a Contractor.

Daniel Fitzgerald is one of those people, but when duty comes calling he promptly slams the door in its face. He has no illusions of grandeur. He is not someone special. He wants to go to school and study law. And frankly, he doesn't really like people, and he doesn't want anything to do with magic. He just wants to be left alone. But when the entire planet is a battlefield, there is no place to run.

Excellent Book!!!

This is an amazing mix of comic book action, aliens and drama. A witty story underlined by right, wrong and sacrifice. I can't wait for the next book! This book falls into many genres but it's story and narration lift it above the commonality of the rest. This is book is a must for any avid enthusiast.

Brilliant!!!

Absolutely brilliant. I am not typically a fantasy, magic fan, but I loved this book. I normally like plain ole SciFi as well as, and more specifically, space and time travel books. This book and it's characters were fantastic. It's my understanding that the second book is very slow coming (3+ years slow), but if it's as fantastic as this book was, I'll be willing to bet it's worth the wait.

A true gem!

The story is good. More well thought than many of the books I read or listen to.
The narration is freaking awesome. Luke Daniels just propelled himself to the absolute top of my list of audiobook narrators. And this is my 201:st audiobook. Just awesome how he gives life to the characters in the book.
Overall this places Contractor firmly among the best books I’ve listened to.
