SERPENT IMAGE The Death Gate Cycle, Vol. 4

Using the ancient heresy that the Almighty created the world and then departed, the authors create a universe rent asunder. Depth is lost in the abridgment, but it works nonetheless. Dotrice specializes in wise old men and Scandinavian dwarfs, well-suited to Serpent Image. His reading is expert in cadence, hastening through excitement and lolling during moments of peace. Occasional chimes and minor sound effects mesh with the narrative; audio clarity is superb. The insatiable fantasy crowd will be well pleased. D.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 92]
