Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low-grade - but escalating - battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice.

An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

A GREAT REDISCOVERY
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would most certainly recommend this book to any fantasy fan. If you are not familiar with Robert Silverberg world of Maijpoor he provided enough of a back story to help the listener understand the history of the people and their motivations. Stephen King is dead on with his side tale of Roland’s adventure with the Sisters. In my opinion his story is classic Dark Tower writing and fits well into the universe of a world that has “moved on”.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Legends?
The most memorable moment for me was having had read the book when it first published I gained a better understanding of the ending of the “The Seventh Shrine”.
Have you listened to any of Frank Muller and Sam Tsoutsouvas ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Frank Muller is audio royalty in my opinion. It was his narration of several of the Dark Tower books and The Talisman that got me hooked on audio books. Sam Tsoutsouvas’s rich voice and clear narration gave a depth to the story that I missed when I read the book.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had no extreme reactions to the story other than a really enjoyed the book.
Any additional comments?
I had read this book when it was published over the course of a few plane trips. At the time I was also reading the Dark Tower series, so I was interged with the Sisters story and how it fit in. However I was also unfamiliar with Robert Silverberg’s work, so I have to admit I was lost by the end of it. With the great reading by Sam Tsoutsouvas I got a lot more out of the story this around and may even revisit Robert Silverberg’s world of Maijpoor again to see what other adventures Lord Valentine finds himself in.

More than worth it for just the Dark Tower part!
(disclaimer) I love the Dark Tower series and have read them all. For Stephen King to write a "in-between" story between two early books was wonderful. Frank Muller is a fantastic narrator/story teller and I was delighted that they got someone sounding familiar to do it rather than (sorry) Stephen King doing it. Great writer, bad narrator in his last Dark Tower book. Having Roland of Gilead - the Gunslinger, wander through his world again in his quest for the tower was nothing but ear candy. While not his best work, the story deserves high praise for keeping to the lineage but not contradicting what has already been written. "The Little Sisters of Eluria" stands alone on its own which is a feat in of itself.
The second part by Robert Silverberg is good, not great but well written. Narration is acceptable and professional.
I found myself asking the author to fast forward several parts that did not seem to add to the story line and were slow.

The book by King, was enjoyable ! I'm a huge fan of the Dark Tower series. The second book was entertaining while I was busy. But to much like a romance novel with out romance. Also kept waiting for John Carter to jump into the story.

One well written, the other insightful
Silverberg tells a SF story of true insight by human into the poetry of the alian mind. I feel I'm entertained, while having my mind made more subtle in ways where I hadn't recognized a lack before; thank you sir.
The first story by S. KING is true to the rich storytelling he's known for. I've read, and heard the "gunslinger of Gilliad" through, and through, yet still savored hearing a tale well told; Remarkable feel of time, and place. Loved it.
