Resumen del Editor

New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore takes listeners back to his signature world of Corona, introducing a fascinating new hero. It is God's year 54, many years before the Demon Wars, in the land of Corona. The roads are unsafe to travel; goblins and bloodthirsty Powries search out human prey. Two religions struggle fiercely for control. Bran Dynard, a monk of the fledgling religion of Abelle, returns from his mission in a far-off land with a book of mystical knowledge and a beautiful and mysterious new wife. But he soon realizes that the world he left behind has changed, and his dream of spreading the wisdom he learned to his fellow monks is crushed.

Forced to hide his wife and his precious book, Bran must decide whom he can trust and where he should now place his faith. Twenty years later, the situation has grown darker and more desperate. Only the Highwayman travels freely, his sword casting aside both Powries and soldiers. The people need a savior, but is the Highwayman on a mission of mercy... or vengeance?

Fantastic narrator

The story is slow and winding but good. It delivers the origin and background of the main protagonist very well.

Great story

Interesting and captivating storyline. Full of twists and turns. I wish there was a follow on book.

good read

I really enjoyed this book. The story line was great and the characters and action lived up to the storyline. The narration was very good. Others I've heard have been better with voices but this narrator was very clear and easy to listen to and understand. I will recommend this book to others.

great!!

loved the story and how it's told by Tim Gerard Reynolds.
can't wait to get to the next book in this series. just wish it too was narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds.

Awesome!!!

I have listen to tons of audio books but this is the 1st one by this author. Have to say its because the narrator, Tim Gerard Reynolds, that led me to this one. Love this one!!!

Bransen = Superhero

Started slow but the back story is worth the work. I am set up for more. great story and great performance!

This story takes too long to develop.

This story takes too long to develop. The writing itself is great(which is the exact opposite of other Salvatore's novel).

A RollerCoaster Ride

This is good story as I became frustrated with the some of the characters, but the ending was worth the journey. I experienced a range of emotions listening to this--at times funny, frustration because of the choices made, sorrow, and finally cheering. I know there is more as the journey continues--

Slow start, but worth it.

Great story. really felt close to the good guys. Hated the bad ones. story really putting it all together.

A good look at humankind

Having read "Child of a Mad God", I was wanting more of this world. The Highwayman introduces the reader to the world of Corona, and it's struggles with battling religions. A hard place to live in, and even harder for a young boy born with physical disabilities. This is the story of Bransen Garibond, an orphaned cripple, growing up among hateful prejudices, overcoming all obstacles,with the help of a book left to him by his parents. Wonderfully written with excellent narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds, this story is well worth the time.
