On May 16, 2008, Brick By Brick Audiobooks released its first title:Lord Foul's Bane, fromStephen R. Donaldson'sThe Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. By April 4, 2009, Brick had narrated and released the other two titles in the initial trilogy (The Illearth War andThe Power That Preserves), along withFatal Revenant, the eighth book in the series.
