Christopher Paolini: Eragon/Eldest CD Ppk [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Christopher Paolini (Author), Gerard Doyle (Reader)

Book Description

Gerard Doyle’s masterful performance on audio sweeps you into the wondrous epic world created by Christopher Paolini. This special collection includes the first two audiobooks in the Inheritance cycle, Eragon and Eldest, for nearly 40 hours of listening pleasure.

Eragon (14 CDs):
Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy–until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save–or destroy–the Empire.

Eldest (20 CDs):
Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn’t know whom he can trust.

About the Author

Christopher Paolini’s abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at fifteen after being homeschooled all his life. Both Eragon and Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance cycle, became instant New York Times bestsellers. Christopher is currently at work on Brisingr, the third volume in the cycle. He lives in Montana, where the dramatic landscape feeds his visions of Alagaësia.

A great book given life by an excellent reader. Keeps you on the edge of your seat even after the batteries of your Cd player run out. I would recommend it to any one who enjoys fantasy and wants to lose themselves in a story of dragons and magic.

For those of us that are Potter heads, it will always be hard to match the superb job that Jim Dale had done on the Harry Potter books. But be that as it may, Gerad has produced an awesome job on the Paolini books. Bravo Gerad!!
