The Guns of Avalon

The Chronicles of Amber, Book 2

By: Roger Zelazny

Narrated by: Alessandro Juliani

The Guns of Avalon is the second book of The Chronicles of Amber; an epic fantasy series written by six- time Hugo Award winning and three-time Nebula Award winning author, Roger Zelazny.

The ten books that make up the series are told in two story arcs: The Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.

The Audible audio rendition of this classic sci-fi/fantasy series is started off by 2012 Audie Award nominee, Alessandro Juliani, who reads the first five books that make up the Corwin Cycle and whose narration vividly brings the world of Amber to life.

Across the worlds of Shadow, Corwin, Prince of blood royal, heir to the throne of Amber, gathers his forces for an assault that will yield up to him the crown that is rightfully his. But, a growing darkness of his own doing threatens Corwin's plans, an evil that stretches to the heart of the perfect kingdom itself where the demonic forces of Chaos mass to annihilate Amber and all who would rule there.

Amber is my namesake and it does not disappoint.

Brilliant story, fantastic voices, and it keeps you wanting more. I can't wait to listen to all the rest of the audible books in the Chronicles of Amber series.

Good but audible charging way too much for this

Not that great.. just good fantasy. Very short. The Lord of Light is the book by RZ not to be missed.

One of the best stories

Zelazny is incredible, and this narrator does an excellent job...until the weird accents appear. Benedict sounds like he is from South Carolina, and Lorraine sounds like an idiot. I am not sure why these accents are used, but they detract from the performance. Otherwise, very good narration.

Corwin struggles

Lord Corwin begins his March toward his ultimate goal of the thrown of Avalon .

great performance

I loved the book and loved the performance.

Corwin gets lose and finds that chaos is breaking loose in the worlds.
