The dangerous, fanatical Imperial Order, under the leadership of the power-mad Emperor Jagang and his multitude of demonic underlings, unleashes a deadly plague. To find a cure, Richard Cypher and his beloved Kahlan Amnell must seek out the legendary Temple of the Winds, a fortress of evil sealed away for three thousand years. But the path of the Seeker of Truth is never an easy one - even if he can reach the Temple at all, there is no guarantee he'll ever return.

Who the hell is "Kahlen"?

What did you like best about Temple of the Winds? What did you like least?
Great story as usual. Truly distracting gaffs by the narrator.
What did you like best about this story?
A good, complicated, and lengthy story as I've come to expect from Goodkind. Somewhat transparent, but this is brain fluff, so it's all good :)
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Dick Hill is a talented reader, but to change the pronunciation of one of the main characters "Kalen" to "Kahlen" drove me batty every time I heard it, which is a lot. Seriously, didn't he listen to any of the readers of the 3 books before him? Was he the first reader? What happened?
And the worst part ... since when is Kalen a whiner? Omg! It was borderline offensive. I love the character Kalen for her strength (she's the Mother Confessor for Pete's sake!)... so why, oh why, would you read her as a whining wimp? So so so wrong.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Depends on how good a job they do... I loved the series, wish they'd bring that back.
Any additional comments?
Thank God Dick only read one of these books.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 138
Best-selling, award-winning, author Kim Stanley Robinson continues his groundbreaking trilogy of eco-thrillers - and propels us deeper into the awesome whirlwind of climatic change. Set in our nation's capital, here is a chillingly realistic tale of people caught in the collision of science, technology, and the consequences of global warming - which could trigger another phenomenon: abrupt climate change, resulting in temperatures. BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by author Kim Stanley Robinson.

What would have made Fifty Degrees Below better?
Narrated by anyone other than Peter Ganim
Would you be willing to try another book from Kim Stanley Robinson? Why or why not?
Yes, but not if its narrated by Peter Ganim
What didn’t you like about Peter Ganim and Kim Stanley Robinson ’s performance?
The Narrator Peter Ganim reads like Steven Hawking's vocal software, with unnatural pauses, and so little inflection it was unbearable to listen to. I tried speeding up to 1.25... that helped a little, but in the end I wished I could return this book. Sad, because I love Kim Stanley Robinson.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Utter disappointment in the performance.
