About this listen

The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear.

Prince Corum is the last remaining Vadhagh. He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina....

Performed by Nanette Savard, Chris Genebach, Tracy Olivera, Nick DePinto, Evan Casey, Todd Scofield, Scott McCormick, Andy Clemence, Thomas Keegan, Ken Jackson, Bob Payne, Eva Wilhelm, Matthew Keenan, Richard Rohan, Patrick Bussink, Terence Aselford.

A classic fantasy of Celtic myth and psychedelia!

The Knight of the Swords by Michael Moorcock is the first novel in the Swords Trilogy followed by Queen and King of the Swords.

In this story we have our hero Corum, the Prince of the Scarlet Robe a member of the long lived Vadagh race whose family is murdered by the Mabden (men) chief Glandyth Al Krae. Corum's quest for vengeance takes him on a strange journey where he realises that he is a part of a greater struggle between titanic forces.

If the premise sounds complicated with strange words, do not worry Michael Moorcock writing blends Celtic atmosphere with his own fantastical landscapes and he writes it all in a clear and concise manner. Re-reading this book, it still holds up.

The audiobook production by Graphic Audio is excellent. We have a full voice cast for various characters in the novel with an original soundtrack and excellent narration of the text.

Classic fantasy is more than just Lord of the Rings or Narnia and Knight of the Swords is a great example and introduction to an influential writer who should be more well known.
