About This Audiobook
In the world of Azeroth, a young mage named Rhonin is sent on what appears to be a minor support mission to the orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan, only to discover that he has been inserted into a vast conspiracy whose true scope neither the wizards nor the king's court fully understands. At its heart is the captivity of Alexstrasza, the Dragon Queen, whose captivity by the Dragonmaw clan is generating a corrupted army of dragons. Richard Knaak's first Warcraft novel established the expanded universe's literary template: big battles, secret histories, and characters whose motives are rarely what they first appear.
Ramon de Ocampo narrates with the pace and authority the epic fantasy genre requires, keeping the large ensemble of characters and factions navigable and the action sequences visceral. His voice gives the world's scale appropriate weight without losing the personal drama that gives the best Warcraft fiction its human core. At just over eleven hours, Day of the Dragon works well for fans of the games who want the deeper lore, and for listeners drawn to straightforward military fantasy with mythic stakes.
