The Wounded Land

The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Book 1

By: Stephen R. Donaldson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Four thousand years have passed since Covenant first freed the Land from the devastating grip of Lord Foul and his minions. The monstrous force of Evil has regained its power, once again warping the very fabric and balance of the Land. Armed with his stunning white gold, wild magic, Covenant must battle not only terrifying external forces but his own capacity for despair and devastation. His quest to save the Land from ultimate ruin is as exciting and heroic as ever.

one of my favorites

linguistically rugged, beautifully sardonic, emotionally precipitous... well done.
The Wounded Land dismantles the religious and psychological apparatus of society, making place for childlike wonder.
Did not want to wake up.

A powerful book for those who can bear the weight.

I love this book with all my pained heart. Don't enter into this trilogy without expecting to be changed. Also, your vocabulary will be tested: we are the Bloodguard.

Brilliant Opening

Brilliant opening to the second chronicles. So inspiring and thought provoking. Only knocking 1 star off the performance to the bad edits sometimes where the editing was too obvious in tonal changes in the narration.

Tremendous follow-up

Years after having first read this great book, I’m brought back to the Land, it’s stories and people - and what a wonderful return! So much passion and depth here. As much as I enjoyed the first trilogy, the second weaves an even more enticing tapestry, leaving me in tears along the way. Kudos to Scott Brick’s narration, which elevates the material to new levels. Highly recommended!

always enjoyable.

Mr. Dale makes this an enjoyable listen. I have read The series several times and have enjoyed it every time.
