Publisher's Summary
This brand-new unabridged audio book of The Return of the King, the third and final part of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings, is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
The armies of the Dark Lord are massing as his evil shadow spreads even wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to battle against the Dark. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring.
The devastating conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.
Critic Reviews
"The story moves on with a tremendous narrative rush to its climax...extraordinary imaginative work, part saga, part allegory, and wholly exciting." (The Times)
"A triumphant close...a grand piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force." (Sunday Telegraph)
"His astonishing inventiveness remains to the end and is continued in a series of appendices" (The Guardian)

Tolkien's masterpiece, masterfully read by Serkis!
Tolkien's masterpieces brought to life absolutely brilliantly! Serkis' narration is very easy to listen to. Every character he brings to life with unique voices for each of them, some very close to their movie counterparts. Gollum obviously is perfect and a real treat every chapter he's in.
Just when you think it's drawn to a close you discover the entire appendix has also been done to the same excellent quality! A bonus 3 hours of Middle Earth Lore!
This is my new favourite way to consume LOTR, nearly a 70 hour trip through Middle Earth

And epic finale for an epic series
Andy Serkis is fantastic! I was blown away with how well he was able to mimic the characters voices from the films, it felt like I could see everything vividly. Tolkien is the master of fantasy and this book is fantastic. Sam is my favourite hobbit, he deserves many, many hugs and thank you’s!
