For millennia, the Librarians have secretly protected the world by keeping watch over dangerous magical relics. Cataloging and safeguarding everything from Excalibur to Pandora’s Box, they stand between humanity and those who would use the relics for evil.

Ten years ago, only Flynn Carsen, the last of the Librarians, stood against an ancient criminal organization known as The Forty. They stole the oldest known copy of The Arabian Nights by Scheherazade, and Flynn fears they intend to steal Aladdin’s fabled lamp. He races to find it first before they can unleash the trapped, malevolent djinn upon the world.

Today, Flynn is no longer alone. A new team of inexperienced Librarians, led by Eve Baird, their tough-as-nails Guardian, investigates an uncanny mystery in Las Vegas. A mystery tied closely to Flynn’s original quest to find the lost lamp. . . and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

A well written variation on 1001 Arabian nights. The good guys lose some, win most and all the elements of 1001 stories are here.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good story for any Librarians fan's
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017

The story was enjoyable and rather interesting my one complaint this didn't feel like the librarians novel since there are only a few chapters it seemed to be more of the librarian since it took more time focusing on flints story about what happened with the lamp rather then what the group was doing giving about 10 chapters in total with the group but those were enjoyable, So I say if you wanted to read more about flints adventure from the other movies this is good but if your expecting more of the great and wonderful ezikiel jones well he's not in there too much abit busy stealing a large gold nugget being the jones we love. the pacing is well and i definitely enjoy Greg Cox writing style thats for sure, though I think they should change the cover adding flint also since this is his story just as much as the others

I loved the back and forth with Flynn being back in 06 around the time of the second movie! I was happy to have Judson and Charlene in bits! I also liked all the little references to The Librarians previous episodes. The characters of the librarians came through perfectly. Their voices and personality could be heard clearly! It was like watching an episode! I have not given up hope for a renewal, even after all these years. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid watching the first movie with my dad. I’ll say it again- watch the movies, watch the show, read the books, read the comics!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a Two-Part Librarians Episode
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023

Going into this book, I didn't expect some feat of fantasy literature. I was hoping to find an extension of the show, with its lighthearted adventures and simple structure. I wasn't disappointed. This book reads like a two-part episode of the Librarians, which is exactly what I wanted from it.

The plot isn't very complicated, but Cox captures the voice of the characters well and it's easy to get into. For fans of The Librarians franchise, I'd definitely recommend.

A very interesting story. I loved the writing and the adventure of it all. And it had great twists. It also had great characters (but who doesn't love the librarians)and great new characters. I really have no idea how to describe how engrossing the story was, the mythology, the settings, bringing the legends of the 1,001 Arabian nights to life. A great story.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Enough character background given for someone not super familiar with the show to read, but not bogged down by it. Felt like reading a good two-parter.

While the beginning started off a little bumpy, the book overall was highly entertaining and well worth the money spent. It isn't often that I find a book that I'll finish in one sitting, but this one of them. I enjoyed switching back and forth between Flynn's adventure in 2006 and the Librarians' in 2016. I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a fun, casual read to relax with. Can't wait for the next book to come out next year.

This story is really 80-90% Flynn Carsen and NOT the Librarians. I love the Librarians TV series (less so when Flynn is it it) and was hoping for this novel to focus on them. With the exception of 4 or 5 chapters, the story is all about Carsen. So, if you like that character you will like this book. IF you are looking for a 100% Librarians book, you will be disappointed.
