About this audiobook

Book Four of The Sword of Truth—the series first begun in Wizard's First Rule—returns listeners to the world of Richard Cypher, a simple woods guide who never dreamed he would be named the Seeker of Truth and become caught up in magic, war, and dangers so extraordinary that the fate of his entire world would hang on his actions and decisions.

The dangerous, fanatical Imperial Order, under the leadership of the power-mad Emperor Jagang and his multitude of demonic underlings, unleashes a deadly plague. To find a cure Richard Cypher and his beloved Kahlan Amnell must seek out the legendary Temple of the Winds, a fortress of evil sealed away for three thousand years. But the path of the Seeker of Truth is never an easy one—even if he can reach the Temple at all, there is no guarantee he'll ever return.

love this series! but what can I say about this audiobook in particular... since I love the story so much, as i own all of the physical books and have read them years ago, I can really only judge the narration. the good: of the first 4 audiobooks, this narrator is much better than the previous 3. he does a great job at giving the different characters unique voices which is so important for a quality audiobook. the bad: his pronunciation of Kahlan is Collin. Kahlan's name is read probably 100 times in this book. Each and every time I cringed! I don't understand how this could happen. it's very disappointing. I didn't make this mistake the first time I read the books and I'm an idiot. not good for a professional. though I blame mostly higher up's. is no one checking up in the production making sure at least the main characters names are being pronounced correctly? gee wiz!

About the author

Writer Terry Goodkind was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1949. As a child, he had trouble reading and writing because he suffered from a form of dyslexia. It wasn't until high school that a composition teacher recognized his writing talent. Before becoming a writer, he worked as a carpenter, violin-maker, hypnotherapist, wildlife artist and restorer of rare artifacts. Goodkind's first novel, "Wizards First Rule" (1994), took a year for him to write and had a record-breaking debut. It became an international bestseller and won the praise of many writers in the fantasy genre. The sequels "Stone of Tears" (1995) and "Blood of the Fold" (1996) experienced equal success. His fourth book, "Temple of the Winds" was published in 1997. His other books include The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Confessor, The Omen Machine, and Severed Souls. Dick Hill has narrated over 400 audiobooks including Lee Child's Jack Reacher series. He has won three Audie Awards and dozens of Earphone Awards.
