Publisher's summary

Rosamund Pike returns with an outstanding narration of The Great Hunt, Book Two of the Wheel of Time, now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund as Moiraine.

In The Great Hunt, the second novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of...

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn—the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Critic reviews

“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”—The New York Times

“Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Incredible Narration!

Rosamund Pike does an incredible job breathing new life into this epic story. Highly recommend for fantasy readers.

Pike is Unmatched

Rosamund Pike’s narration and voices is completely unmatched; I had a hard time even believing they were all really her!

Rest of the books please Rosemund!

What an a amazing performance. Thank you Rosemund! Please do the rest of the books after book 3!

Great Book

Great book and great performance. Rosamund Pike’s performance kept me enthralled the entire time. Would recommend.

Great Story and Narration

This has been some of the best storytelling I’ve ever consumed! The story is so good! Rosamond Pike does a stellar job with the audiobook! Please have her do all the books!

Captivating

The first book was very exciting and this one picks right up and takes it to even greater heights. The characters development is first rate and the introduction of new villains keeps you completely engaged. Rosamund Pike is supremely talented, her narrative voice is second to none and the character voices are both varied and consistent throughout such that you can truly recognize who is talking, which contributes greatly to the experience of hearing the story and being immersed in it. Looking forward to the next book.

Rosamund Pike is the best

The book was good. I did not think it was exciting as the first book. However, I could listen to Rosamund Pike read the ingredients off a cereal box and be entertained. Will I spend credits on book 3? That is a yes if Ms Pike does the narration.

love the narrator

Loved it, and i like Mrs. Pike's narration more than the other gentleman who narrates the WOT. One voice exception is how the seachan are voiced, but that's a personal preference.
highly recommend this version over the other.

Rosamund Pike!

She is doing such an amazing job! I love listening to her tell my favorite book series

Rosamund Pike takes Jordan’s works to the next level

Pike’s narration skills are phenomenal - she embodies each character and helps you lose yourself in the book. One never pictures Pike’s face because she so convincingly embodies the characters.
