The fellowship has been broken and the paths of the companions diverge. After Frodo and Sam set out alone towards Mount Doom, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli must search for the two Hobbits, Merry and Pippin, and encounter an old companion along the way. In worthy succession and in memory of Achim Höppner, Gert Heidenreich reads the second part of the fantasy trilogy in Wolfgang Krege's translation, following the companions on their adventures in Middle-earth. For the second volume, the Tolkien Society has also selected content for the extensive booklet: The history of the peoples of Middle-earth continues, along with the Shire calendar and the script and pronunciation of the ancient languages.
