Midnight Over Sanctaphrax

Edge Chronicles 3

De: Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell

Narrado por: John Lee

Far over the Edge, a mighty storm is brewing - a whirling vortex of immense power and unimaginable ferocity that is essential to the survival of the Edgelands. In its path is Sanctaphrax - a magnificent city built on a floating rock and tethered to the land by a massive chain. Sailing over the Edge and into the maelstrom itself, Twig - a young sky pirate captain - is the only Edgelander to learn of the approaching danger. But the perilous voyage destroys his sky ship, hurling his crew far into - and beyond - the Deepwoods, and robbing Twig of all memory.

Setting out for the Deepwoods, Twig is determined to gather together his lost crew. But will his journey help unlock his memory too? For if no action is taken, Sanctaphrax will be at the mercy of the Storm, the Edgewater River will cease flowing - and a stagnant darkness will spread out like a vast fungus over every inch of the edgelands.

Brilliantly illustrated and filled with highly original characters - from trogs and goblins, to savage cloddertrogs, treacherous shrykes and gruesome waifs - Midnight Over Sanctaphrax can be listened to as a single action-packed adventure or as the final triumphant tale in a magnificent fantasy trilogy.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Combines skilfully paced narrative with global issues such as slavery and environmental destruction. Lots of surprising plot developments...full of everything" (Independent)

"As before, Stewart's descriptions of corrupt and disgusting goings-on are brilliantly visualized." (Interzone)

loved it!

I love this series! I wish that the whole series was here in the unabridged version

just as good as i remember.

I got into the edge chronicles when I was in middle school and had not reread them since. but now that I'm older I decided to rediscover them through audiobooks. I was not disappointed. the story, world and characters were just as I remembered. I just wish the books after had unabridged versions on audible. I would highly recommend for children and adults

perfect

I would hadynamic to hear more variations in the reader's voice for different characters to make more interesting and dinamic.
