![]() ![]() Engene's version of "Warlord" is fine, technical problems were fixed, but "Warlord" isn't as good as the first two books. I still like Sondricker's narration of the first book, "Princess of Mars," the best. ![]() Brick is a pro, and this is a professional if not inspired reading. But Scott Brick's modern, somewhat deadpan delivery seems at odds with the over-the-top drama of the "this is my marvelous life" voice that Burroughs used for John Carter's first-person "memoir." Admittedly, capturing the colorful dramatics without sounding silly is a tough job for any narrator. Technically this is indeed a good production. But that production was marred by technical problems, so when the recent movie tie-in came out with veteran narrator Scott Brick at the helm, I decided to get a "new, improved" version of this middle book. I chose the Gene Engene recording of "Gods" and my review of it is there. The John Carter trilogy (Princess of Mars, Gods of Mars, Warlord of Mars) was a high school favorite of mine, and these three books were among the first purchases I made after joining Audible. ![]()
