Six hundred and eighty-seven Martian days must come and go before the cell's door would again come opposite the tunnel's end where last I had seen my ever-beautiful Dejah Thoris. Had Phaidor's slim blade found that beloved heart? Time only would reveal the truth. What can I say? It's what Virginians and most southern Americans do.In the shadows of the forest that flanks the crimson plain by the side of the Lost Sea of Korus in the Valley Dor, beneath the hurtling moons of Mars, speeding their meteoric way close above the bosom of the dying planet, I crept stealthily along the trail of a shadowy form that hugged the darker places with a persistency that proclaimed the sinister nature of its errand.įor six long Martian months I had haunted the vicinity of the hateful Temple of the Sun, within whose slow-revolving shaft, far beneath the surface of Mars, my princess lay entombed-but whether alive or dead I knew not.
He sounds exactly right, despite being one serious butcher of spoken English. However, of all the readers, he sounds a lot like an actual, back water, basackwards, Virginian and not British or television American. So, if you're big on exacting pronunciation, forget about it, Peter Delloro is not ever going to be your guy. Words such as "stygian" become "st(eye)gian" and "succor" becomes "sue-core" instead of "suckor". Even should a Virginian have a large vocabulary, it is often that they still do not know how to speak them properly. While this is not true of all Virginians, it is true of most so, the reading kinda fits. I found it appropriate because, having lived near Virginia, southern people have absolutely no idea how to speak words properly. However, it should be noted that, Peter Delloro's performance is chocked full of mispronounced words. I enjoyed this and the first two books, as well as the performance.
