Sometimes the greatest evil lies within. The Dragon King who rules the land of Mensandor is none other than Quentin, whose courage and heroism have transformed him from an orphaned servant into a war hero, respected leader, and fierce man of faith. But even the powerful can fall prey to evil. The world is turned upside-down when the dark sorcerer Nimrood--long thought dead after a battle with the previous Dragon King--returns with a fearsome plan. Shattered by the death of a trusted friend, the abduction of his son, and loss of his enchanted sword, Quentin finds his faith tested like never before. All of his skill and training comes down to this final battle . . . one that seems impossible to win. In The Sword and the Flame, the final volume of Stephen R. Lawhead's captivating Dragon King Trilogy, the fate of the entire world depends on the outcome of this climactic battle between good and evil.

      In this final book of Lawhead’s Dragon King series, Quentin, the poor boy who became king, must again defeat necromancer Nimrood. However, Quentin must also deal with a kidnapped son, the loss of his magical sword, and a kingdom that’s falling apart. Though the novel is filled with excitement and turmoil, this audio production falls flat. Tim Gregory’s narration is simply too over-the-top and exaggerated. Although he does convey the tension of the novel, his attempts to expand that tension with nearly every word will leave listeners exhausted. Additionally, the voices he creates for the book’s characters sound more like caricatures than individuals, and some are indiscernible from one another. A Thomas Nelson paperback.
