Story
It is said that Lord Dunsany wrote his stories with a handmade quill in a single draft, and The King of Elfland’s Daughter is widely regarded as one of his greatest works. A fantasy classic which has influenced some of the most popular fantasy writers of all time, including J. R. R. Tolkien and Neil Gaiman, and one of the landmark pre-Tolkien fantasy stories written. It is noteworthy not only for its poetic literature and picturesque imagery, but also its exploration of Elfland, a land of fancy, immortality, and forbidden love.

Story
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely considered the greatest of Russian science fiction masters, yet the novel they worked hardest on, the one that was their own favorite and that listeners worldwide have acclaimed their magnum opus, has never before been published in English. The Doomed City was so politically risky that the Strugatskys kept its existence a secret even from their closest friends for 16 years. It was only published in Russia during perestroika in the late 1980s, the last of their works to see publication.

The importance of Earth faded and the Company reaped ever smaller profits as the economic focus of space turned outward. But the powerful Earth Fleet was still a presence in the Beyond, and Pell Station was to become the last stronghold in a titanic struggle between the vast, dynamic forces of the rebel Union and those who defended Earth's last, desperate grasp for the stars.

His seminal volume In a Lonely Place collects eight of his best tales, including "In the Pines," a classic ghost story evocatively set in the Tennessee woods, "Beyond Any Measure," an original take on the vampire story.

With Phoebe gone, the souls of the dead are no longer ferried to the underworld, and instead linger on as shades who feast on the blood of the living. Raef is a child of the night. He lives in the shadows, on scraps, eking out a meager existence as a thief. But when an ornate box is sequestered in the Temple of Hyperion, the chance of a big score proves too great to resist.

Winds of Gath -- a space western?
What made the experience of listening to The Winds of Gath the most enjoyable?
Rish Outfield did an outstanding, highly professional job of reading. He was engaging and kept me on the edge of my seat. His talent helped me understand who was speaking at all times.
What other book might you compare The Winds of Gath to and why?
I had never heard of EC Tubb before listening to this audiobook, so I had no idea what to expect. Tubb envisioned Dumarest as living in a universe that is every bit as complex, developed and exotic as Herbert's universe of Dune. It is complete with intricate political systems, diverse worlds and peoples, elaborate trade and religious systems.
Dumarest, on the other hand, reminds me of a cowboy who stepped into this universe right out of a Louis L'Amour novel. He is tough, smart, loyal, and hardened. He has a way with women. He'll do the right thing or die trying. Rish does a fantastic interpretation of Dumarest's voice that really brings this character to life.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was the storm. Anyone who reads the book will know why. The story builds and builds until the storm, and then all hell breaks out. It's imaginative and haunting. Tubb does a great job of putting you in the mix. You can almost hear the voices in the wind...
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
On a distant world, sinister forces conspire to kidnap a princess, and only one man can stop them...

It's an older book, but it holds up
I started reading this on the advice of people talking about the TTRPG Traveller. You can definitely see some of the themes in Traveller here in this book. The pace, themes and story all feel a little dated, but really, it's ok. I like older works, and have read quite a few in my time. This one is right up there with all the good ones. It's kinda formulaic, but again, I don't think that takes anything away from it. The setting is definitely a strange one, and one that really stands up in the weird category.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes old school sci-fi, and anyone looking to get into Traveller. People who are looking for insanely something fleshed out like The Expance will be sorely disappointed. That said, it's still a fun read.

Modern Science Fiction/Paranormal Romance
What did you love best about The Winds of Gath?
Rediscovering Dumarest of Terra is a delight beyond belief. This kick-off novel of a series of more than 20 novels, a legend in itself by a legendary author, was written in the mid-1950's, but (except for tape recording medium and lack of handheld communicators and worm holes) reads as if written last year.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Dumarest is my favorite character -- he is one searingly Hot Romantic Lead character. I had no idea how hot when I read this as a kid.
On the other hand, there are no overt sex scenes -- it's all implicit not explicit, and not even a "go to black" -- but if you have any imagination at all, this guy ROCKS.
Have you listened to any of Rish Outfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first Rish Outfield recording -- I have the second and third Dumarest of Terra novels which Rish Outfield also read, and I'm looking forward to them.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There's a spooky, paranormal/supernatural scene toward the end. Well, maybe it is and maybe it isn't, which is what's spooky, but the Winds of Gath blow and strange things are experienced -- judge for yourself. That's what I like best in a novel -- not pat answers but intriguing questions. Since there are more than 20 novels in this series, you'll get a better idea later on.
I also loved the Mystery element of "what is in that coffin, anyway?"
Any additional comments?
Even if you've read these books in text, the Audible recording is worth the time and money because it just brings the material to life with an excellent reader who understands the story.
I was particularly surprised by how many elements in this novel I had totally forgotten were Tubb inventions -- and having forgotten, I re-created some very similar elements in my own Sime~Gen Series novels (most of which are on Audible with more coming.) I would be delighted if Rish Outfield read a few of the Sime~Gen novels.

great galactic adventurer
What made the experience of listening to The Winds of Gath the most enjoyable?
The cover of the book left me a little hesitant at first. I imagined it would turn into a 'naughty' type of book, but luckily it didn't and the author's description was respectable and interesting of the planet Gath and its inhabitants. My favorite parts of the book was the different types of future technologies, even though you could find remedies of when it was written by such words like, 'tape' rather than 'data.' The way people travel in space is very thought out, with different levels of comforts to the extreme. The lower levels traveling, you have a higher chance of not surviving the trip. Traveling high, you would be rejuvenated and become younger. All and all the book was a very good and quick read. I actually wished it was longer! It left me wanting to read the next book, which I am going to do.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Earl Dumarest likable character the book is focused around also earthborn.
What does Rish Outfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator performed perfectly there was a few points that the audio recording equipment needed a little work such as mic volume needed to be adjusted.
Any additional comments?
If you liked, "Ender's Game," you would love this book.

LIFE IS A LOTTERY
THE MAN WHO RIDES A TIGER, FINDS IT HARD TO DISMOUNT
Cruising the used book stores, I started coming upon these old series in paperback. I thought it might be cool to collect them. Like John Norman's Gor series. I picked up a couple of these with the half naked girls on the cover. I am finding out that there is a reason many of theses did not make it to hard back. They are bad writing. This is no exception. I found it to be very boring and Jim the Impatient will listen to NO boring book.
I do like George G. Gilman's Edge series (the most violent westerns ever printed). Maybe someday they will appear in audible.
This book doesn't even have a good cover, skip it.
