Robert Jordon Wheel of Time: Eye of the World

From Library Journal
The peaceful villagers of Emond’s Field pay little heed to rumors of war in the western lands until a savage attack by troll-like minions of the Dark One forces three young men to confront a destiny which has its origins in the time known as The Breaking of the World. This richly detailed fantasy presents a fully realized, complex adventure which will appeal to fans of classic quests. Recommended.

From AudioFile
Three young friends from a village so far on the fringes that its residents no longer know they’re part of the queen’s kingdom set out on an adventure that will change their lives and place them in the middle of events they can neither control nor escape. Michael Kramer sets this first book of a classic series on strong ground, with Kate Reading contributing to the narration. The characters spring to life as they face the challenges and torments that the wheel of life has drawn them into. These veteran narrators keep the plot moving and the narration fresh. A brief interview with the author is a bonus. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine–
