About this listen

The planet Majipoor is shared by humans and several alien races, including four-armed Skandars, three-eyed Liiman, and the native, shape-shifting Metamorphs. All are watched over by the King of Dreams, the labyrinth-dwelling Pontifex, and the priestess of the Isle of Sleep, while the Coronal officially rules from atop Castle Mount.

The Majipoor Cycle begins as young Valentine, a man with no memory, is hired as an apprentice juggler by a group of eccentric performers. While the traveling troupe takes to the road, Valentine's sleep is disturbed by nightmare visions of warring brothers and difficulties on faraway Castle Mount. In a quest to discover who Valentine really is, his wise and peculiar companions resolve to help him claim the rewards of his birth. But another trial awaits Valentine that will test his belief, resolve, and strength of character.

Rudnicki Rules Majipoor!

This sweeping fantasy six-fi epic revolves around the planet of Majipoor, which was conquered by humanity tens of thousands of years ago. A colourful planet of magic and mighty creatures sees us focus on Valentine, a traveler with amnesia who shares the name of the Lord that governs the planet. Valentine is hired as a traveling juggler, as the priestess on the Isle of Sleep and the demented King of Dreams do battle to reinstall Valentine’s memory and true identity. The characters are interesting, the adventure is grand, and the character arc of our hero is equal parts frustrating and amazing. The climax leads into you definitely wanting to read the sequel.
