THE PHOENIX LEGACY - VOLUME ONE: SWORD OF THE LAMB -- By M.K. Wren -- Read by Scott Brick

Years after the Lord Alexand’s “death” and the birth of Alex Ransom, a sprawling intergalactic empire creeps closer to the brink of annihilation… 

Since its first printing in 1981, THE PHOENIX LEGACY trilogy by M.K. Wren has stood as the pinnacle of epic science fiction, space opera in the grandest tradition.  Now, Brick By Brick Audiobooks continues the magnificent saga of a great family’s role in the fall and rebirth of man with Volume Two: THE SHADOW OF THE SWAN.

"A new classic!  Has the sweep and power of Asimov’s FOUNDATION TRILOGY." Jean Auel (CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR)

Born to rule, the Lord Alexand DeKoven Woolf nonetheless swears to destroy the greatest empire mankind has ever known, all for the greater good of humanity, yet four years after he “died” to be reborn as a Phoenix member, Alexand is at a crisis point: how to carry on when his sacrifices have been apparently futile?  Can he immerse himself in his brother's work, preaching the same message of peace and submission to the Bond faithful, before the Concord’s brutal hierarchy drags them into a bloody Dark Age?  Can he save the Society of the Phoenix before a bitter schism divides it and destroys the only hope humanity has?  And can Alexand revive not only his former life as a member of the Concord’s Directorate, but even more important, his contracts of marriage to the Lady Adrien…?

Scott has fond memories of stumbling across this title on the last day of his favorite science fiction bookstore’s existence, A Change of Hobbit; it was a chance encounter with a random title he came very close to never discovering.  Having wept each of the five times he’s read this series, never discovering this series would have been tragic.  Scott has described this epic science fiction saga as “THE WINDS OF WAR set in outer space, it’s A TALE OF TWO CITIES meets DUNE, it’s… it’s its own unique creation, a gem that most people, even most science fiction fans, don’t know about.  Trust me, you’ll love this book.”

Audie Award-winning narrator Scott Brick has recently brought Charles Dickens’s A CHRISTMAS CAROL to audiobook on both MP3 and CD, as well as three novels in THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT series (LORD FOUL’S BANE, THE ILLEARTH WAR, and FATAL REVENANT).

After completing the last volume in THE PHOENIX LEGACY trilogy in 2009, Scott and Brick By Brick Audiobooks will release DREAMER OF DUNE (Brian Herbert’s biography of his father, DUNE author Frank Herbert) and then the last book in the first Thomas Covenant trilogy, Stephen R. Donaldson’s THE POWER THAT PRESERVES.

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.” Brad Meltzer (BOOK OF LIES, IDENTITY CRISIS, JLA)

“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)
