THE LAST SIEGE

Three lonely teens, Emily, Simon, and the mysterious Marcus, form an alliance on the snowy slopes of a castle moat. They break into the keep and decide to spend the night, enjoying a rare sense of power as they play at being occupiers. Their game becomes a terrifying reality when they decide to stay in the castle and must defend themselves against the authorities who are determined to bring them back to reality. David Thorn's narration is precise and captivating. His pacing and exact enunciation build tension amid the danger and excitement. Stroud has written a thrilling adventure, and Thorn brings it to life. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
