Summary
The vampire world is in crisis – their kind have been proliferating out of control and, thanks to technologies undreamed of in previous centuries, they can communicate as never before.
Roused from their earth-bound slumber, ancient ones are in thrall to the Voice: which commands that they burn fledgling vampires in cities from Paris to Mumbai, Hong Kong to Kyoto and San Francisco. Immolations, huge massacres, have commenced all over the world.
Who – or what – is the Voice? What does it desire, and why?There is only one vampire, only one blood drinker, truly known to the entire world of the Undead. Will the dazzling hero-wanderer, the dangerous rebel-outlaw Lestat heed the call to unite the Children of Darkness as they face this new twilight?
Anne Rice’s epic, luxuriant, fiercely ambitious new novel brings together all the worlds and beings of the legendary Vampire Chronicles, from present-day New York and Ancient Egypt to fourth-century Carthage and Renaissance Venice; from Louis de Pointe du Lac; Armand the eternally young; Mekare and Maharet; to Pandora and Flavius; David Talbot, vampire and ultimate fixer from the Secret Talamasca; and Marius, the true child of the Millennia. It also introduces many other seductive supernatural creatures, and heralds significant new blood.

Brilliant
My first audio book ever. It was excellent, as expected from Anne rice. The narrator was also brilliant, taking on the task of voicing many characters and their accents. A joy to listen to. I would recommend this.

Simon Vance smashes it again
No matter what the vampires get up to, Vance keeps me enthralled. His voices for the characters are perfect.

Narration is superb!
Simon Vance, the Narrator really brought to life the many characters of this series and kept me glued to the audio. This is definately my favourite of the series and shows the power of the Narrator in making memorable stories or killing the interest of the reader. If you don't read the others this is definately the one to read because it will spark your interest in all the chronicles.

An excellent read
An excellent read. you'll get the best out of the book if you read Lestat The Vampyre and Queen Of The Damned first. There are so many characters in the story it helps if you have been introduced to them before you read this book. Queen Akasha has a plan to take over the world by eliminating all the mortals and the fledgelings. Lestat is called upon by the elders to help prevent this from happening.

Back to form
I must admit by end of the original run of vampire chronicles I was getting a bit disappointed by the hybrid of Mayfair witches and vampire books . they didn't seem to meet my expectations as I had loved both series of books. This book has brought back the series with a great story. The mix of prospects from the all the vampires can get a little confusing but it is part of the reason I do like the books you see things from not just one view. I can't wait for more.

Awestruck!
I truly can't think of a single criticism of this book, or of this performance. I have heard many books read by Simon Vance and he is consistently excellent. His subtle voice characterisations and his pace and tone are, to me, very easy to listen to.
The story continues one of which I've been a fan for a long time so any review by me will be heavily biased. It's hard to believe that these are not tales of people who actually exist. Anne Rice doesn't write 'characters', she writes histories. Profoundly attractive ones.
I enjoyed this immensely and I am sure I'll do so again before long.

Amazing book!
Where does Prince Lestat rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best of the chronicles. It brings together all the characters.
Any additional comments?
The book is very like Interview in that it deals with multiple characters. This book however goes into more depth and does not just follow central characters but it runs along a single theme that all characters are heading towards! Excellent book from a vampire master!
