ARMAGEDDON'S CHILDREN

Leave it to Brooks to take a clichéd post-apocalyptic story of good versus evil and turn it into an epic that is the first in a series that will connect his Word and Void series with his Shannara series. After the world has fallen to demons, two Knights of the Word set out on different missions: One must find the gypsy morph child of Nest Freemark, and the other must save a part of the dying world. Dick Hill commands the text with a stern voice but knows just how to lighten his tone to reflect the atmosphere. However, his outstanding rendering is marred by poor sound levels, which require continual volume adjustment. L.E. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
