Blood and Gold

De: Anne Rice

Narrado por: Roger Rees

“RICE WRITES WITH HER USUAL EROTIC AND HISTORICALLY EVOCATIVE FLAIR.”
–People

Once a proud Senator in Imperial Rome, Marius is kidnapped and forced into that dark realm of blood, where he is made a protector of the Queen and King of the vampires–in whom the core of the supernatural race resides. Through his eyes we see the fall of pagan Rome to the Emperor Constantine, the horrific sack of the Eternal City at the hands of the Visigoths, and the vile aftermath of the Black Death. Ultimately restored by the beauty of the Renaissance, Marius becomes a painter, living dangerously yet happily among mortals, and giving his heart to the great master Botticelli, to the bewitching courtesan Bianca, and to the mysterious young apprentice Armand. But it is in the present day, deep in the jungle, when Marius will meet his fate seeking justice from the oldest vampires in the world. . . .©2001 Anne O'Brien Rice; (P)2001 Random House, Inc., Random House Audio, a Division of Random House, Inc.

Blood and Gold, one of the best of the series

Blood and Gold must be one of the best of the Vampire Chronicles. It keeps your attention and the story line is consistant.

Another excellent life from Anne Rice

Anne Rice's vampires are so tragic and loveable. every one of her books is amazing. this title is no less worthy than any other.

Loved it

As with many of the books by Anne Rice, it was perfect. The detail gone into the story kept me drawn in.

Exceptional

I will continue to listen to this book over and over again.
The writing of this book isn't as tedious as some Rice books are and the reading of this book is exceptionally done . A must read when looking for more of an in-depth story line to the vampire chronicles .

Really enjoyed this!

This was my first audiobook of the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles and I really enjoyed it. Yes, it's all about the descriptions with Anne Rice books, not action.

The only disappointment was the loss of Santino. I really felt like he had a great story, too. Ah well, maybe he'll come back somehow.
