Not bad, not great

Revisado: 02-24-25

This felt very average to me I did not really ever get into it or care overly much for any of the characters or what happened to them. Others apparently like it from the overall reviews. I did get this on sale so maybe wait for that to buy it. For the $6 or $7 that it cost it was fine. The narrator is good and made it better than I think it would have otherwise been.

Should have been one book not three and cut out all the blather about nothing. Expanded what might have been one good novel into three average or boring ones due to a plethora of uninteresting discussions, uninteresting narrative, and very slow pace stretched over three separate novels that all suffer from the same problem.

A nice beginning

Revisado: 01-18-25

If you have read the trilogy and liked it you will likely enjoy this beginning story that expands on the initial colony of people on the planet that is touched upon briefly in the trilogy. If you have not listened to the trilogy yet this will likely be less enjoyable. Please go to those first then come back to this. While good, not as great as the original trilogy of books.

This also has the novella "Dominion" that features the introduction of Gerald Tarrant. If you get this one you shouldn't also buy "Dominion" as you will already own it with this audiobook. It's the final two hours of this one.

Great intro to the series

Revisado: 01-15-25

A short story that introduces Gerald Tarrant who is a main character in the main three book series. Enjoyable story and great narration. If you've read or listened to the series and enjoyed it then you would very likely enjoy this as well.

Great sequel to Black Sun Rising

Revisado: 01-08-25

This continuation of the story is another great entry in the trilogy. Great performance by narrator. I have enjoyed quite a few of the books this author has written. This series is the best of them.

A great finish

Revisado: 01-07-25

Third and final book in this series. Very enjoyable finish. If you enjoyed the other two then go ahead and get this one as well. Same narrator, story and conclusion. All are great!

Good conclusion novel with Dilvish

Revisado: 01-01-25

A full novel of Dilvish this time instead of the short story collection with Dilvish in "Dilvish the Damned". While not as good as other Zelazny books I've read, this is still enjoyable and part of the ending I did not see coming whereas most of the rest of the book progresses as one would expect..

Collection of short stories

Revisado: 01-01-25

While this is a collection of stories they are loosely linked together and they all have Dilvish as the main character. Not Zelazny's best, but still enjoyable.

As good as I remembered it

Revisado: 01-01-25

I had read this many many years ago and it was as good as I hoped in audiobook format.

Fun story

Written in 1956 almost 75 years ago this is a good story and interesting even today.

Legendary story read by legendary narrator

Revisado: 01-01-25

Andy Serkis is the best narrator I have heard in a long time. He does an amazing job of voicing the characters in this story including gollum as he played him in the movie so he does the same voice for him in the audiobook. It's brilliant.

A classic story and great narration by Serkis.
