Story
It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

The constellation of Hydri, also called the Serpent, became an undesirable destination during the era of humanity's most prolific interstellar colonization. For Hydri was under strict quarantine because it harbored an intelligent and dangerous alien race, the insectoid majat. Yet human colonies predating the quarantine did exist in this sector of space, which they called Serpent's Reach. Cut off from others of their own kind, they had their own inbred culture and special relationships with the alien majat.

They named him Thorn. They told him he was of their people, although he was so different. He was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different. Yet he was of their power class: judge-warriors, the elite, the fighters, the defenders. Thorn knew that his difference was somehow very important - but not important enough to prevent murderous conspiracies against him, against his protector, against his caste, and perhaps against the peace of the world. But when Thorn finally learned what his true role in life was to be, that the future of two worlds might hinge on him, then he had to stand alone to justify his very existence

The Coldfire trilogy tells a story of discovery and battle against evil on a planet where a force of nature exists that is capable of reshaping the world in response to psychic stimulus. This terrifying force, much like magic, has the power to prey upon the human mind, drawing forth a person's worst nightmare images or most treasured dreams and indiscriminately giving them life. This is the story of two men. They are absolute enemies who must unite to conquer an evil greater than anything their world has ever known.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

An unabridged classic but "Psychologist?!!"

Publisher's Summary
Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space Gates of a vanished but not forgotten alien race. In their time, long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds—not from villainy but from folly, from tampering with the strands that held a universe together.
Now the task was to uproot these Gates, destroy their potency for mischief, take horror out of the hands of the few who hungered for power by misuse of the Gates.
This is the story of one such Gate and one such world.

Disapointed
What did you like best about Gate of Ivrel? What did you like least?
I absolutely love this series. I have been waiting impatiently for it since CJ Cherryh's books finally became available. Vanye and Morgaine's story is one that has been with me as a true friend for 20 years.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gate of Ivrel?
I love Vanye's character, which as a far cry from the stereotypical heroes that we encounter in so much of today's fantasy writing.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator read the story as if she was on speed. She read so quickly that all of the nuances of speech and rhythm that go along with good writing were completely lost. I even tried to listen to it at 75% speed, but the after echo that goes along with it was too distracting. I am very sad that the editors chose to go with a female narrator for a book that is told from a male viewpoint, and then to make matters worse by allowing her to ruin to beauty of the story with her choice of pace. I'm even more disappointing that she is reading all of the books in the series.

Would She Sound Like That?
I've loved the book series for AGES and looked forward to hearing it. And it was very good except...well, I did not think Morgaine would sound like a twinkly 15 year old girl.
I hate to say this because the narrator did a pretty good job all around except that the voice for the main character was so ill fitting. A woman who does what she does would have a richer, more experienced voice. Too, sometimes the inflection was a bit off - the dialog not quite right. But the narrator DID do a great job of giving that sense of movement and pace - of growing excitement and danger. So I hate to find fault but - there is no way that Morgaine would sound that way. Sorry...

Disappointed and Heartbroken
What would have made Gate of Ivrel better?
This series has always been a favorite, so I was glad to see it come out in audio. Unfortunately, the narrator is the WORST ever. She reads SO fast it's extremely difficult to listen to and understand what she is saying. Additionally, the story is told from a male's point of view so why a female narrator? How disappointing and heartbreaking that Ms Almasy narrates the entire series. I WILL be asking for my credit back.

I LOVE these books. This reading is terrible.
What would have made Gate of Ivrel better?
I seldom leave a negative review for anything. I've never left one for an audiobook performance. What made this one almost unendurable was the embarrassing lack of familiarity with the English language the reader displayed. If your job is to read a book for an audio recording, you should really make certain your pronunciation of unfamiliar words is correct. "Obeisance," for instance, and "incredulity" come to mind as examples.
What did you like best about this story?
I approve of strong female characters. The effect was somewhat spoiled by the reader's simpering, silly portrayal of Morgaine.
How could the performance have been better?
A narrator with a stronger voice and a better command of the language would have been a much better choice.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Grave disappointment.

I will READ the rest myself
Would you try another book from C.J. Cherryh and/or Jessica Almasy?
I love C.J. Cherryh's books! and I would not ever listen to Jessica Almasy again.
If you’ve listened to books by C.J. Cherryh before, how does this one compare?
Terrible choice of performers. For any book. Sorry, but she needs to get a different line of work.
What didn’t you like about Jessica Almasy’s performance?
Too fast, too high a voice, sounds like a kid.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Hard to tell if I could love this book. I'm going to push through the entire listening of it, BUT, I do know that I will READ the rest, not listen to Jessica Almasy

Have waited a long time for this!
Would you consider the audio edition of Gate of Ivrel to be better than the print version?
No. While the audio edition is excellent, the voice of the reader isn't quite what is needed, although she did a good job.
What other book might you compare Gate of Ivrel to and why?
Jennifer Roberson's Sword Dancer books. Both are about a strong woman with a mission she would trade all to accomplish
Did Jessica Almasy do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes she did. Different voices were obvious for different characters.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and no. I've waited so long for these books that I sort of doled them out to myself.

Don’t believe the other reviews
I read this book when I was a kid and was excited to see it here. But then I saw the reviews, and was really conflicted about spending the credit, as I’ve been so annoyed by some narrators I can’t finish the book. Not so with this one.
Yes, the book is from a man’s point of view, and yes, it’s narrated by a woman, but if I couldn’t get past that, I’d almost never be able to read a book myself as a woman. Yes, she does speak fast for this type of thing, but it’s no faster than a normal conversation. Faster than a broadcaster on TV, but if you can’t keep up with her, there legitimately may be something wrong with you. I’ve heard teens and excited people speak faster, routinely. No, the narrator doesn’t have a “childlike,” “high-pitched” or “squeaky” voice.
Does it sound like it was recorded on a dictaphone in a plastic box? Yes. It’s got a very dated sound that anyone familiar with 90s audiobooks will immediately recognize. But you get over noticing it quickly and are left with an overall enjoyable experience of a classic fantasy novel.

The first book in C.J.Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early space flight to confrontations with other alien species in distant sectors of space. It is the masterwork of a truly remarkable author.

Pell was just the first living planet. Then came Cyteen, and later others, and a new and frighteningly different society grew in the farther reaches of space. The importance of Earth faded and the Company reaped ever smaller profits as the economic focus of space turned outward. But the powerful Earth Fleet was still a presence in the Beyond, and Pell Station was to become the last stronghold in a titanic struggle between the vast, dynamic forces of the rebel Union and those who defended Earth's last, desperate grasp for the stars.

Story
It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

But Pell's location - - on the outer edge of Earth's defensive perimeter - makes her the focal point in the titanic battle of colony worlds fighting for independence.
