THE WHEEL OF DARKNESS

Earphones Award Winner

by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child | Read by René Auberjonois

Mystery & Suspense • 13 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2007

What happens when enigmatic FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast meets the anti-Buddha? Pendergast and his ward, Constance, travel to the remote Gsalrig Chongg monastery in Tibet for meditation and martial arts. There they learn that a relic holding the power to wipe out humankind has been stolen. The world faces physical and metaphysical peril, and Pendergast must do battle with this ancient ominous force. In a coolly understated performance, René Auberjonois subtly heightens the ever-increasing tension as Constance and Pendergast board the luxury liner BRITTANIA on its maiden voyage, searching for the madman bent on world destruction. Auberjonois’s deceptively ordinary voice pulls listeners into Preston and Child’s world, where science, mysticism, and melodrama reign supreme. Lots of fun! S.J.H.
