David Colacci is admirable in his narration of this epic fantasy, which is Tolkienesque in its dwarves and elves and magic and quests. However, THE ROAD OF THE PATRIARCH is a bit more adult than the usual fare from this author. This is a gritty and bloody book, with a bit of sex as well, and is third in a series that follows the human Artemis Entreri and the elf Jaraxle Baenre, who are fresh from a previous adventure and on their way to a future one. From the hearty belly laugh of a dwarf to the dangerous elegance of a dark elf, Colacci keeps this fast-paced fantasy interesting. S.D.D. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
Explore the mind of an assassin in R.A. Salvatore's exciting conclusion to The Sellswords Trilogy!
THE ASSASSIN
A cold and emotionless killer for whom every soul has a price, even his own, embarks on a path to find out just how high that price can be.
THE MERCENARY
A dark elf of limitless guile dares to challenge a king, and carve for himself a place in the inhospitable World Above.
ILNEZHARATA and TAZMIKELLA are ancient dragons of great power, accustomed to easily manipulating the humans around them. But not all humans are so easily led. When they pushed Entreri and Jarlaxle into the heart of the Bloodstone Lands, not even they could have imagined the strength of the human assassin's resolve, or the limitless expanse of the drow mercenary's ambition.
