"What particularly impresses me about Scott Brick is his commitment to accuracy. He has spent a significant amount of time ensuring that his reading of my books is true to my intentions: not an easy thing to do, considering that some of my locutions and neologisms cause heart attacks in cattle." Stephen R. Donaldson (THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT)

Audie Award-winning narrator Scott Brick recently brought THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT to the audiobook world with LORD FOUL'S BANE and FATAL REVENANT, the series' first and latest novels. Now Scott follows up those by bringing the second Thomas Covenant novel to audio.

In THE ILLEARTH WAR, after scant days in his "real" world, Thomas Covenant finds himself again summoned to a strange world of magic and earthpower. There, forty bitter years have passed, while Lord Foul, immortal enemy of the Land, moves to fulfill his prophecy of doom -- his countless minions are already on a march of destruction. The Council of Lords find their spells useless, now that Foul the Despiser holds the Illearth Stone, the ancient talisman of evil. High Lord Elena turns in desperation to Covenant and the legendary white gold magic of his ring, but nobody knows how to use the white gold -- least of all, Thomas Covenant himself.

Scott Brick has fond memories of Donaldson's series. The first time he read the first book in the series, LORD FOUL'S BANE, Scott was so wrapped up in the story that he skipped studying for college finals to finish the book. (Don't worry, he graduated just fine.) Now Scott is able to give back to fellow Covenant fans by bringing LORD FOUL'S BANE and FATAL REVENANT to audiobook.

Top Authors Praise Scott Brick's Work:

"Scott Brick isn't just a voice. He's a painter, bringing to life characters and places and situations that would otherwise lie flat on a page. He's painted every book I've done and I'm telling you, on more than one occasion, people have come up to me at signings and said they only picked up the book because Scott Brick read it. The bastard!" Brad Meltzer (BOOK OF LIES, IDENTITY CRISIS, JLA)

"Stephen R. Donaldson's THOMAS COVENANT series was a landmark publication -- it proved you could write great fantasy novels that owed absolutely nothing to Tolkien. Now I get to listen to these books read by one of the best readers in the audio business, Scott Brick. Somebody pinch me!" Orson Scott Card (ENDER'S GAME)

"My wife is a doctor. When she wants to recommend another doctor unequivocally, she says, 'If my family member was sick, he'd be the doctor I would choose.' In a similar vein, when my publisher asks who I want to read my books for the audio version, I answer without hesitation: Scott Brick. He is simply the best narrator I know. I trust him with my novels -- and for me, that's no small thing." Harlan Coben (HOLD TIGHT, THE WOODS)

"Scott Brick is not only the voice of many of my own audiobooks, he's also the voice on many of the audiobooks I listen to. He brings a passion to his reading -- he really LIKES the books he's narrating, and it shows." Kevin Anderson (SANDWORMS OF DUNE, METAL SWARM)

"Scott Brick is a compelling and mesmerizing reader who makes our Pendergast novels come alive. We thought Pendergast was inimitable -- until Scott came along!" Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child (THE BOOK OF THE DEAD)
