The Wheel of Time: The Great Hunt (Part 1) - Robert Jordan (CD)
Title: Title: The Wheel of Time (Book II): The Great Hunt (Part 1) Author: Robert Jordan Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy Format: CD, 8 CDs (Unabridged) Synopsis: n one short decade, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time has become the bestselling American fantasy series of all time--comparable in depth and scope to J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary trilogy, The Lord of The Rings. Now, the first two titles in the series, The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt, are available unabridged on CD. For centuries traveling gleemen have told the tales of "The Great Hunt of the Horn." Now the horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages. Rand al'Thor, the farmboy who is thought to be the Dragon Reborn--the leader long prophesied to save the world, but in the process will destroy it; the savior who will run mad and kill all those dearest to him--refuses to accept his fate. But Rand cannot escape his power. For when the horn is stolen along with a dagger from the terrible ruins of Shadar Logoth, Rand is drawn into the hunt. For if he does not, his oldest friend, Matt, will die. As Rand, Perrin, Egwene and Nynaeve track the horn and dagger they enter a world stranger than time itself. Meanwhile the Dark One is stirring in Shayol Ghul. The Dark One wants the horn. The Dark One wants Rand. Review: AudioFile THE GREAT HUNT is the second novel in Robert Jordan's massive Wheel of Time fantasy series. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading alternate sections, depending on which character (male or female) holds the shifting point of view. The large book is slow moving, especially at the beginning. Kramer and Reading help the prose along, providing much-needed spark to the characters. The author continually drags the story back to petty arguments between male and female characters, which becomes tedious. On the plus side, the action scenes, Jordan's specialty, are excellent. S.D.
