Red Dragon

By: Thomas Harris

Narrated by: Thomas Harris

A quiet summer night...a neat suburban house...and another innocent, happy family is shattered -- the latest victims of a grisly series of hideous sacrificial killings that no one understands, and no one can stop. Nobody lives to tell of the unimaginable carnage. Only the blood-stained walls bear witness.

All hope rests on Special Agent Will Graham, who must peer inside the killer's tortured soul to understand his rage, to anticipate and prevent his next vicious crime. Desperate for help, Graham finds himself locked in a deadly alliance with the brilliant Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the infamous mass murderer who Graham put in prison years ago. As the imprisoned Lecter tightens the reins of revenge, Graham's feverish pursuit of the Red Dragon draws him inside the warped mind of a psychopath, into an unforgettable world of demonic ritual and violence, beyond the limits of human terror.©1989 Yazoo Enterprises, Inc, All Rights Reserved; (P)1989 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Spectacular suspenseful

I grew up during the 80s and my father Rented the movie I fell in love with the creativity of the story the characters the soundtrack. The book feels in some of those gaps that film doesn’t have time for which helps you will really enjoy this book.

Great book

Awesome story with lots of twist. Hated the narrator though. Made Lector sound a scared nerd. His constant loud breathing was also distracting.

awesome book

I really loved this book could not stop reading and loved this thrilling story so captivating

Abridged removed most of Hannibal

The story is much faster paced and not quite as dark as the unabridged version. It seemed to not include all the original Will Graham and Hannibal interactions which I think makes the book the most fascinating. Good book, great story, but not excellent. If I’m reading a Hannibal series book I expect atleast all the Hannibal experiences included.

Why is the unabridged not available in English??

Why only the short version available in English? Seriously, it's available unabridged in other languages on audible but not English. Perplexing..............
