About this listen
'She is unique. She is legend' THE TIMES
'Ursula Le Guin is a chemist of the heart' David Mitchell, author of CLOUD ATLAS
'A tour de force' EVENING STANDARD
Earth-scientist Rocannon has been leading an ethnological survey on a remote world populated by three native races: the cavern-dwelling Gdemiar, the elvish Fiia, and the warrior clan, Liuar. But when the technologically primitive planet is suddenly invaded by a fleet of ships from the stars, rebels against the League of All Worlds, Rocannon is the only survey member left alive. Marooned among alien peoples, he leads the battle to free this newly discovered world - and finds that legends grow around him as he fights.

This is not only a gripping story, but also provides much food for thought. The range is long and wide, from Rocannon’s first gifting of the jewel, to his arrival on the planet and odyssey to destroy the galactic rebels. Unconscionable reaches of time; races of beings both strange and strangely familiar; mind magic; and our first meeting with the Ansible, the Cosmic communicator, an essential feature of the Hainish cycle of novels. Always the awareness that all this is germane to our own, Earthly, experience.
