One planet. Three sapient species living peacefully together. And one deadly virus that could wipe out every world in the Starways Congress, killing billions. Is the only answer another great Xenocide?

Listen for Sprout
Reviewed: 11-28-21
Listen for Thulium and Sprout! Card knows how to bring incredible children to the page and even more so, Audible.
In order for any person to rise to the occasion of an incredible challenge. you have to have a somewhat controversial or impossible task ahead of you. Though the universe of Card has spread and gone seemingly sideways to some. this produces an environment for characters to rise to the occasion and blow us away.
This plus another Stefan Rudnicki production is a welcome addition and treasure.

Bingwen is back!
Reviewed: 07-26-19
No one does young characters like OSC, so I'm glad to have Bingwen back, but what properly put me into the Enderverse upon my return was hearing Stefan Rudnicki performing Mazer Rackem. Rudnicki IS Mazer in my mind, although I've never met or seen him, I won't look him up, cause I have in my mind what Mazer is, the stalwart everyday man's soldier with a moral compass greater than the rest! Keep em coming.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,549
Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, DC, when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew was given access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he "slotted" his Xatherite and changed his fate: He gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker turned dungeon in a desperate bid for survival.

Modern fantasy SciFi
Reviewed: 07-17-19
I thought this to be a simple hack and slash dungeon crawl at first, but so glad to be wrong! The world/universe has a lot more going on than we realized.
The only odd translation to audiobook is the reciting of repetitive alerts our hero has to go through after each battle... its kinda like the performer has to read a table in a technical book, just doesn't play well.
Looking forward to the next release!

Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost. The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.

Blackthorn flashbacks!
Reviewed: 11-17-17
If you liked the first two in the series you will love this one. All the same voice actors and a bit new tricks to add to the mix. I had to get on here and leave a review. I am a admittedly a big fan of Sanderson's books (so grain of salt please). I'm about a third of the way in, but (and this doesn't spoil anything really) YOU GET FLASHBACKS with Dalinar, Sadeas and Gavilar!! O.M.G. it rocks to hear/read of the Blackthorn back in the day! Just spectacular so far!

Ender Wiggin won the Third Formic war, ending the alien threat to Earth. Afterwards, all the terraformed Formic worlds were open to settlement by humans, and the International Fleet became the arm of the Ministry of Colonization, run by Hirum Graff. MinCol now runs Fleet School on the old Battle School station, and still recruits very smart kids to train as leaders of colony ships, and colonies.

Perfect pairing
Reviewed: 11-07-17
OSC writes kids so clearly and honestly.. but when you add Rudnicki's performance... perfection once again. His deep baritone would be the last you would likely cast, but he recites with an innonce that emotes wonder. Thank you both!
