Epic Legends Of The Hierarchs: The Elemenstor Saga, as read by James Earl Jones
James Earl Jones is set to bring his voice to the beloved series beginning in Summer 2006. Three audio books will be released each year on DVD and tape, and will retail for 29.95 each. Each book will be somewhere between five and six hours of listening, and will be slightly abridged for the audio series.
Fan reaction to this prospect has been mixed. Few doubt that Jones will be able to accurately capture the Elemenstor Saga's intrinsic epicness during its early volumes, but more contentious is how he can possibly do justice to Book 10, which contains substantial quantities of French, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Wookiee Shyriiwook and Morse Code, and which many believe can never be accurately rendered in audio form. Even more unclear is how Jones - indeed, any narrator - can hope to deal with chapter twelve of Book 13, which consists entirely of semicolons and spaces.
| I know a friend who ran into somebody in a chat room that had a brother working on the audio book production, and from what I heard, the fans are going to be pleasantly surprised by how they treat Book 10 and Book 13. -tim |
