Father Urban soon bounces back, carrying God's word with undaunted enthusiasm through the golf courses, fishing lodges, and backyard barbecues of his new turf. But then the provincial head of his dowdy religious order banishes him to a retreat house in the Minnesota hinterlands. Charming, with an expansive vision of the spiritual life and a high tolerance for moral ambiguity, Urban enjoys a national reputation as a speaker on the religious circuit and has big plans for the future.

And I do read this series more than listen. I am always amazed when reading these books, I seem to pick up new things with each reading. If you haven't read any of the Dragon Riders of Pern books, start with Dragon Flight and skip anything by Todd McCaffrey (Anne's son - he can't write to save his soul). Story - Very nicely written, a classic in every sense of the word. So have a listen and then thing of hours upon hours of that. You get a good example of Dick Hill's reading, slupping and all in the example listen. I really enjoyed Sally Darlings reading of a few of the books - she had a grandmotherly way about her voice, as if you were listening to Anne McCaffrey reading to you. ![]() ![]() ![]() He range of voices is limited and it sounds like his lips are right up next to the mic so you can hear every little slup or smack as he speaks. Narration: Dick Hill, while not the worst is certainly not the best by any means. ![]() |
