Krondor: The Assassins

Book Two of the Riftwar Legacy

De: Raymond E. Feist

Narrado por: Peter Joyce

A plague of murder has overrun Krondor, the glorious center of the kingdom of Midkemia. Prince Arutha--newly returned from battle with the Morehdel chieftain Delekhan and the renegade magician Makala--is concerned about the rash of unexplained assassinations in his capital city. And so he dispatches his most trusted agent, Squire James--formerly the thief known as Jimmy the Hand--to discover the source of the deadly epidemic. James' hunt will lead him to the dank depths of Krondor, through subterranean tunnel and sewer system to a terrible war that is raging in secret far beneath the streets. For here rival criminal gangs are locked in a death struggle for control of a city's vice--dangerous gangsters who go by the name ""Mockers""...and others in the thrall of a mysterious being known as ""The Crawler."" But the deeper he delves, the closer Squire James gets to the true nature of the horror that has already left untold dead in its wake, a nightmare of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy his liege and reduce Krondor to ruins. Ensnared by dark, intricate plots and dastardly magics, James must now race to prevent one last murder, the one craven, unthinkable slaying that will plunge Krondor into the all-consuming flames of war without quarter.

Amazing story! You get use to the narrator

Love this book so much! Such a well written story. The narrator does take some getting used to to, but doesn’t hurt the story at all!

Patterns

Disliked that narrator pronounced the main character of Arutha as AruTah—contrary to the preceding narrative’s. It was a continuous distraction

Excellent Story

Excellent story and performance by the narrator. Great job for Raymond and the narrator who did the job.

Excellent read

My daughter and I continue to enjoy each of his books. This series is fun and full of action

Masterful Writing

Raymond E. Feist is so visual and compelling in his storytelling. He creates substantial people and plots, weaving a world of wonder.
