In the darkness of the shadows and whispered on the winds, there is talk of rebellion. In the swamps, a small band has formed. Determined to regain their freedom, the rebels, heavily outnumbered, plan to overthrow an army of thousands, with the help of one incredible weapon.
It is only a legend, a story left over from the Old World before magic and the wizards came to the land. A weapon of technology. It is the mystical Elephant, and whoever masters it holds the key to freedom...or defeat.
One young man, determined to avenge the death of his family, sets out to join the rebellion and find Elephant. What he discovers will change everything.

Any additional comments?
This is one of those books I would have loved 10 years ago, but alas it just couldn't hold my interest with my more mature tastes. However it is not a Tolkien clone, but since it was written in the late 60's and early 70's it has been copied many times, including in the masters of the universe cartoons from the 80's to some degree.Too Old for This One

Would you listen to Empire of the East again? Why?
No, I stopped listening because I could hardly follow the story with the jilted reading. It was read like an encyclopedia.Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked Rolph and will probably read this book the traditional way.How did the narrator detract from the book?
I notice that Raymond Todd has read various non-fiction works and I think he is much better off in that category. Great voice but terrible inflection for dialogue and accents changed for the same characters multiple times.Any additional comments?
Keep Raymond Todd in non-fiction and use Derek Perkins for all of Saberhagen's books.I love Fred Saberhagen but not Raymond Todd

If this is the only outlet you are going to allow yourself to experience the story, please push through the weak narration to hear the story behind!

Many people that this book, along with the rest of the books in this “universe” are excellent, but the reader was so bad that I didn’t enjoy it at all. There were so many mispronunciations and his voice was so monotonous that I’ve heard better electronic readers. Interestingly , his accents were pretty good, and the reading was actually acceptable (although it still didn’t rise to the level of good) when an accent was necessary. Unfortunately when no accent was appropriate, it was impossible to distinguish between characters, or even dialog and narration.
Might be a good story but the reading was horrible
