BEARING AN HOURGLASS

George Guidall is an outstanding narrator, and listening to him is always a pleasure. Easily delineating each fantastic character, including the Devil, Guidall adds depth and dignity to this selection in a thought-provoking series; his vocal style is smooth, clear and resonant. Veteran sci-fi writer Piers Anthony's astounding classic immerses listeners in a universe of magic and time-travel. Norton, a disillusioned wanderer, assumes Chronos' mythical hourglass and becomes the Incarnation of Time. The Devil, however, springs a cunning trap. Will Norton, banished to hell, be able to keep him from dominating the human world? This combination of terrific story and polished oral presentation will captivate all listeners.
