The Demon Spirit, Part 1 by R.A. Salvatore
an audiobook review by Gil T. Wilson
After destroying the Demon Dactyl, there is hope that the end of the Dactyl means the end of evil in the land. Unfortunately,
this is not the case. Instead, the armies of the Dactyl are now scattered throughout the land of Corona with no leader
and are wreaking havoc on the countryside. Heroes from the earlier conflict meet Juraviel, the elf, who tells them how
the Dactyl may have ruined the lands of the elves forever. Determined not to let the same fate befall humanity, the
group decides they must now rid the land of the Demon Spirit that still inhabits Corona.

The Demon Awakens, Part 2 by R.A. Salvatore
an audiobook review by Gil T. Wilson
The beginning of a new era continues in part two of the high fantasy saga, The Demon Wars. The demon
Dactyl has awakened and has put together an army to destroy the land of Corona. R.A. Salvatore has created a story
that runs through seven books and is the basis of the role-playing game, Demon Wars. Now teamed up with Graphic
Audio, these books come to life as an audio adaptation.
The Demon Awakens by R.A. Salvatore
an audiobook review by Gil T. Wilson
The story begins as the demon Dactyl awakens after spending an eon encased in stone. The sound effects used to
reflect his coming back to life are extremely well done and the audio engineers at GraphicAudio deserve lots of
credit for creating an attention-grabbing opening scene.
The Lone Drow by R.A. Salvatore
reviewed by Cindy Lynn Speer
As far as Drizzt knows, everyone he loves -- Catti-Brie, Wulfgar, Bruenor -- are dead. So he stays out in the wilds,
attacking and harrying the orcs, who still have plans to lay siege on Mithral Hall, designs that now seem even more possible
that their leader, Obould, has gained some sort of uncanny strength and insight thanks to a religious ceremony. Drizzt
lets the Hunter take over, and he, friendless save for Guenhwyver, revels in taking out every orc he can.

Exile by R.A. Salvatore
reviewed by Cindy Lynn Speer
Drizzt has found his way into the labyrinths of the Underdark, where he has made a life for himself near a grove of half men,
half mushroom myconid. He raises rothé to eat and hunts the caverns with his truest friend Guenhwyvar at his side, when
needed. He slowly understands that he is losing himself, that he is becoming the Hunter alone, and that all the ideas he held
dear is being lost. After a less than pleasant reunion with his family, who want him dead in order to appease their cruel
goddess, he decides to venture into the realm of the svirfnebli.

The Highwayman by R.A. Salvatore
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
We return to the world of Corona in God's Year 54 where we meet Brother Bran Dynard, a devout follower
of the Blessed Abelle and carrier of amazing discoveries and an incredible book to share with his beloved church. Earnest and
naïve, Bran never thinks to take into account one of the dark truths of religion; those in power will do almost anything to
prevent change. It's a miscalculation that will cost the brother and his beautiful and amazing new bride dearly.
The Demon Spirit by R.A. Salvatore
reviewed by Regina Lynn Preciado
Story grows out of character and the author's characters make this series rise
above the plethora of similarly plotted fantasy trilogies. Salvatore has
said he spent six months just building his world, getting to know his characters, and it shows.
