The second book in Card's science-fiction/fantasy epic picks up right where the first left off, with political hotshot Averill Torrent having taken command of the highest office in the land and dreaming of creating a global empire. To do so, he sends a crack team, headed by Captain Bart Coleman, to Africa to contain a viral outbreak. The cast of narrators offers a stirring reading complemented by every enhancement in the book: sound effects, musical score, and audio layering. Rudnicki is a star in the lead role, narrating in a commanding tone that allows slight hints of emotional instability to penetrate the character’s cool exterior. It all creates a theatrical listening experience to which sci-fi fans will surely return. L.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2010]
