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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Tantalizing . . . Sustains its impact from start to finish.”
–USA Today

“A MARVELOUS ADVENTURE . . . Rice continues to be a fascinating, immensely talented writer; she’s taking risks that few other popular authors would even contemplate. Readers . . . will be enthralled.”
–The Dallas Morning News

“DIFFICULT TO PUT DOWN. This is perhaps, the finest Vampire Chronicle [Rice] has penned.”
–Lambda Book Report

Amazing

I loved every word of this book, it was as if I was listening to Marius himself actually dictate every detail of what he went through. I will definitely listen to it again soon.

Akasha, Pandora, Lestat, Armand, the Talamasca and more...

If you have any interest in the characters I mentioned above, then please listener, do take on the tale of the beautiful blonde blue-eyed mysterious and now unveiled Marius, the over 2,000 year old vampire and caretaker of "those who must be kept" and discover more than you ever had before in The Vampire Chronicles.

Excellent.

This is such a perfect and entrancing tale. This may be the best book in the series. Highly recommended.
