REVIEWS

“Chock full of motivated and interesting characters, classic political machinations, two genuine romances, surprising plot twists, and everyone’s favorite theme, betrayal. This is the equivalent of a seven-course meal for any audiobook listener.”—SFFAudio.com

“Bujold excels at creating complex characters you care for, and at catching them up in terrific action-adventure stories laced with thoughtful ponderings on ethics and religion. James does an excellent job with this tale…He strikes just the right note throughout all the twists and turns of the plot.”—KLIATT

“Lloyd James excels. Subtle tonal shifts distinguish James’s characters, enabling him to voice male and female characters of all ages, of upper and lower castes—with equal acumen.”—Amazing Stories

"This is one of the great ones."—Science Fiction Chronicle
