Diablo: the Sin War - Book Two

Scales of the Serpent

De: Richard A. Knaak

Narrado por: Richard Halverson

Since the beginning of time, the angelic forces of the High Heavens and the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells have been locked in the Eternal Conflict for the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now spilled over into Sanctuary - the world of men. Determined to win mankind over to their respective causes, the forces of good and evil wage a secret war for mortal souls. This is the tale of the Sin War - the conflict that would forever change the destiny of man.

Bent on destroying the evil cult of the Triune, Uldyssian does not yet suspect that Inarius - secret Prophet of the Cathedral of Light - has been subtly aiding his quest. Obsessed with restoring Sanctuary to its former glory, Inarius has been playing Uldyssian against the two great religions in a reckless attempt to topple them both. But another player has slipped back into the equation. The demon Lilith, once Inarius's lover, seeks to use Uldyssian as her own pawn in a scheme to turn humans into an army of nephalem - godlike beings, more powerful than any angel or demon, who could overturn all Creation and elevate Lilith to a supreme being.

An original tale of swords, sorcery, and timeless struggle based on the best-selling, award-winning M-rated computer game from Blizzard Entertainment. Intended for mature listeners.

Voices should match situation, not character.

The story was captivating. The same gritty voice all the time, was not. The voice should fit the tone of the moment, Uldyessian was a simple farmer, he shouldn't sound like America's favorite imaginary badass. That alone, destroyed immersion every time the voice was used in what should have been a calm moment.

Good book

Book is good. This is part 2 to the sin war trilogy. Good book.

detail and atmosphere abound

loved everything, but there was so much interaction with you-know-who earlier and midway (no spoilers!) that I feel could've done with some trimming. I understand it's to really set up the emotional enormity of future events, but again, it's just my opinion.

love it

diablo is one of my favorite series wonderful wonderful book and great story mist read

Great story but narration overly done

My main issue with this book is the narrator. He makes some of the characters like Diablo sound ridiculous.
