Terry Goodkind returns to the epic Sword of Truth saga in a tale of sweeping fantasy adventure bound to enthrall his growing legion of fans. In Temple of the Winds, the New York Times bestselling fourth novel in the series, the Seeker of Truth Richard Rahl and Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell risked their lives and souls to free the land of D'Hara from the scourge of a magical plague. But in doing so they accidentally unleashed the Chimes, a magic whose threat will reach far beyond D'Hara.

Now it has become terrifyingly clear that the Chimes have the potential to bring down all that Richard and Kahlan have worked to protect, and even the power of the Sword of Truth may not be enough to stem the tide of their unleashed magical force. But if the Chimes cannot be stopped, first they will ravage Richard and Kahlan, then all of D'Hara, and then the entire world ...

In this Sword of Truth novel, Kahlan and Richard are yet again embroiled in an impossible save-the-world scheme. Goodkind never tires of thwarting his hero and heroine's chance at a happy, quiet life, and, through them, offers a fabulous and ever-developing epic world. Buck Schirner takes the massive cast list in stride, switching from character to character, nobleman to native, and male to female with subtle and effective grace. Schirner avoids "speaking in genders" and makes a special effort to learn the speech patterns and tones of each character. The result is characters who actually sound like themselves, rather than potentially jarring shifts between stereotypical male and female voices. Schirner does lose a little steam about halfway through, but overall his performance is strong and pleasing. A.A. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
