Summary
Charlie thought building a spaceship had been tough, so being king should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, it was like a cake made of cement. Hard to swallow, and just might kill him.
It was good being king, or so Charlie had believed. After an abrupt crash arrival, people had finally stopped trying to kill him - for the most part, anyway - and his new subjects respected him. Or feared him. It was sort of hard to tell, what, with the ginormous dragon who had eaten the previous king standing right behind him.
In any case, Charlie was now ruling this realm as best he knew how. And it all seemed to be going well. But he worried it wouldn’t last, and just his luck, word of a strange new threat soon reached his ears. A threat that might even have a bit of magic on their side. Of course, that was impossible on this non-magical world, but he had begun to accept that the impossible seemed to follow him wherever he went, like a hungry dog lurking in his shadow.
Faced with an unseen enemy, Charlie had to not only keep his friends safe, but the people who looked up to King Charlie as well. It was going to be a hell of a task, and the spaceman from Earth only hoped he was up for the challenge.

Enjoyable series
This is the type of SF books I used to read in the 80s, Not overly taxing but enjoyable and light.
I would say they a would be better aimed at the young adult market.
I liked the narrator and the books get better through the series.
One negative is that the scenes can jump around a little, and feel that they have been edited down from larger text, e.g. some fights start and instantly end as if a dozen paragraphs have been cut out to shorten the book.

Charlie's saga continues
I was given a copy of this audiobook by the author in exchange for a fair review.
If you have read books 1 and 2 of this series, well you will know what to expect. If you haven't, well why on earth would you start at book 3?
The story picks up shortly after the finale of book 2, with Charlie installed as King of an un-named place which I assumed to be vaguely Arthurian in nature and location.
The story is arguably a little slow to get going as the scene is set, but once it gets going you have all the excitement, magic and adventure we've come to expect from a Charlie story. (view spoiler)
The plot maybe doesn't stand up to close scrutiny, but that's fine, we're here to enjoy the ride. As is becoming traditional the book ends with an intriguing set up for the next book.

Enjoyable
I have now listened to the first 3 books in this series and have enjoyed them all, the magic system is well described and the author doesn't allow events to get stale.

The worst in the series so far.
I've really enjoyed the series so far, but I'm afraid this one is not up to the standard of the earlier books, either in performance (awful Scottish? accents), or story (cringey Rapunzel origin story, solar powered magic wand...). I understand a lot of suspension of disbelief is required for space opera/fantasy, but this was a step too far, even for me. Still, I finished it and will probably get the next in the series. I'm hoping this is a mere blip in quality...
