Magic is real. And it’s dangerous. It’s locked in books and relics imbued with power. But sometimes, whether by accident or by design, magic escapes and wreaks havoc upon the world. That’s when Team Three is deployed—known by their enemies as: The Bookburners.
Tasked with identifying and neutralizing magical threats anywhere in the world, the Bookburners are a cohort of special investigators from wildly different walks of life—a New York City detective, a Guatemalan priest, an indestructible woman from China, a techno-occultist from Ireland, and an inquisitive scholar from the Ivory Coast.
But each member of the Bookburners bears the scars of their own past magical trauma. What that means for the team, as they face horrors that threaten their sanity and their very lives, will cause them each to question their mission… and their faith in one another.
Bookburners is a Realm production voiced by Xe Sands, created by Max Gladstone, and written by Max Gladstone, Margaret Dunlap, Amal El-Mohtar, Mur Lafferty, Andrea Phillips, and Brian Francis Slattery. Listen away.

Customer Reviews
Please don’t stop!
I have now listened to all five seasons and all I can say is, I want more!! While normally I’m not a fan of one person narration, the voice actor here has developed each character’s voice so that I know, without hearing the name, who is who. Great job and please don’t stop.

Show is addictive waiting to get the next episode and the next to see what happens. Excellent storytelling and the narrative speaker is perfect for the characters!
This is AWESOME
I put this podcast on and get so much done! Even after I finish working, I keep listening!
