THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST Pilgrim, Book 2

Heads up, listeners: This audiobook runs over 29 hours. Listening feels like the equivalent of bingeing on a twelve-season streaming spy thriller. Harding's deep voice for the protagonist, Kane, a specialist who infiltrates extremely hostile areas, seems more mature than the character but sustains interest throughout. In efforts to address threats to the United States, Kane goes on perilous adventures through the uninviting landscapes of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other foreign lands. Narrator Jeff Harding showcases his talents in differentiating characters and using accents to convey multiple nationalities. Listeners who are willing to pay attention to the time-shifts and to suspend reality to go along for the ride will stay engaged throughout the many hours of listening, thanks to the intense story and skillfully portrayed characters.
