The original American dramatization as broadcast on National Public Radio.

War rages in the westamp;mdash;a titanic battle of will and strategy between the great wizard Gandalf and Sauron, the Dark Lord. Meanwhile, eastward in Mordor, Frodo and Sam approach the end of their improbable quest, bearing the One Ring ever closer to the Cracks of Doomamp;mdash;and to a final confrontation with the very essence of evil.

While the evil might of the Dark Lord Sauron swarmed out to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggled deep into Mordor, seat of Sauron¿s power. The way is impossibly hard and, weighed down by the compulsion of the Ring, Frodo is weakening.

The awesome conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien¿ The Lord of the Rings, beloved by millions of readers around the world.
