About this listen
Beware the Moon of Three Rings.
It was the time of the Moon of the Three Rings when the Free Trader ship Lydis landed on the planet Yiktor and junior crew member Krip Vorlund visited a beast show. He was strangely attracted to the owner of the show animals, a delicate and mysterious woman named Maelen. Soon Krip was caught in a vicious struggle by powerful opponents over the fate of Yiktor - and he learned the nature of Maelen's sorcery when he found his mind trapped in the body of a wolf-like creature.
Krip would again inhabit a human body - though not his own - and on a second planet, Thoth, he and the crew of the Lydis would be drawn into a battle between ancient powers and nameless evil. Only Maelen the Moon Singer could save them with her superhuman powers - if she didn't bring death and destruction instead....

Not as good as I remembered.
Narrated by Chris Abernathy and Chelsea Stephens
Krip Vorlund is an apprentice on a space trader who gets into trouble during a trading fsir on the planet Yiktor when he helps Maelen, a Thassa Moon Singer and animal trainer, to rescue a barsk kept in cruel captivity. Kidnapped by the son of Osgold a plainsman lord, in order to get off-worlder weapons. Krip escapes, and finds Maelen, but in danger of being captured and killed, Maelen shifts his consciousness into the barsk, a fierce dog-like creature, leaving his body alive, but empty, and believing that Osgold will be forced to send the empty shell to the place where the mind-injured are cared for. (Because that's how it works on yhe planet Yiktor.) Unfortunately Krip's body is sent back to his ship instead and there's a desperate scramble to reunite his consciousness with his body. They say you shoud never go back. This used to be one of my favourite Notron juveniles, but I haven't read it for the best part of forty years. Sadly the sucks fairy has visited it in the intervening time. The story is slight but interesting enough, but the language is stilted, especially the dialogue. This is something I was always aware of, but forgave for the sake of the stories. Because this is an audiobook it's a lot more difficult to ignore. I suspect I previously glossed over the style for the content. The narrators do the best with what they've got, but they have to stick to the script, and they sound awkward doing so. This audiobook is a two-part collection, but I'm stopping at the end of Moon of Three Rings and will not be listening to Exiles of the Stars.

male narrator a little dull and the female does an Irish accent for the far off alien gypsy?
story is excellent performance a little dull and flat with strange choices for accent and pronunciation
