Lykae clan leader, Lachlain MacRieve, has been held prisoner and tortured by the Vampire hoard for the past 150 years, but when he scents his one true mate there is nothing that will stop him from claiming her. ![]() He was perfect!Īs with most paranormal romance, the fated mate theme appears, though it is one sided in this case. More likely he has done a lot of homework. Add to this his impeccable delivery of emotion, the humor, desperation, fear, passion, happiness … and one could assume that Petkoff is a long standing fan of this series. The accents, including a delicious Scottish brogue for the hero, his brother, and a cousin are a pleasure to hear as were the pleasing female voices. ![]() His skill at creating distinct voices for a large cast of characters is impressive. This was my first experience listening to narrator Robert Petkoff and I sincerely hope it won’t be my last. ![]() The tenth book in the series, Lothaire, will be released in hardback and audio January 10th, 2012.

On the one hand, he creates two female characters that are sassy, opinionated, manipulative, and independent. It does not seem that Soyinka consciously tries to make a statement about gender, but he does so nonetheless. Soyinka thus suggests that progress is not bad, but that it must be done on African terms. He is preparing to use a stamp machine to make the village make money as they do in Lagos. Similarly, Baroka says he does not hate progress but merely finds its sameness and stagnation boring. Lakunle espouses a variety of backwards views and seems to abandon his progressive principles when it is convenient to do so. However, as the play progresses Soyinka defies the audience's assumptions. It initially seems like Soyinka is setting a clear dichotomy between these two things, tradition embodied by Baroka and modernity embodied by Lakunle. This is perhaps the most conspicuous theme in the play. ![]() ![]() Delivery with Standard Australia Post usually happens within 2-10 business days from time of dispatch. ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel. ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
