FOX FOREVER Jenna Fox Chronicles, Book

In a futuristic Boston, bioengineered teenager Locke Jenkins accepts a secret rescue mission from The Network, an underground group that fights government injustice. To succeed, he must befriend Raine, a government official's daughter--but their friendship quickly turns to love. Locke hides his mission from Raine as he wrests a political prisoner from her father's keeping. While narrator Matthew Brown's voice is an appropriate match for Locke, his phrasing is not always smooth. Further, his easygoing pace combined with the story's ruminative quality makes for an audio that moves slowly. A more intense narration might have compensated for the cerebral nature of the story. This audiobook may elicit interest from listeners familiar with the first two books in the trilogy. C.A. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2013]
