Song of Edmon

The Fracture Worlds, Book 1

By: Adam Burch

Narrated by: Adam Burch

In Adam Burch's thrilling series debut, a young man must choose between violence and peace in a distant world divided between those who thrive in endless sunlight and those who survive in eternal darkness.

The isolated planet of Tao is a house divided: the peaceful Daysiders live in harmony while the pale Nightsiders pursue power and racial purity through the violent ritual of the Combat.

Edmon Leontes, the gentle son of a ruthless warrior noble and a proud Daysider, embodies Tao's split nature. The product of diametrically opposed races, Edmon hopes to live a quiet life pursuing the music of his mother's people, but his Nightsider father cruelly forces him to continue in his bloody footsteps to ensure his legacy.

Edmon's defiance will cost him everything...and spark a revolution that will shake the foundations of Tao. His choice - to embrace the light or surrender to the darkness - will shape his own fate and that of his divided world.

awesome concept, executed at 75%

massive leaps in timeline that caught me off guard. major plot points and storylines that seemed inconsequential until the entire storyline hinged on it. episodic to a fault.

but! cool concept, good listen, and no regrets. worth the price and the time.

Well done!

I don't usually read fantasy or sci-fi, but this story held my attention.
Being read by the author, it was obvious that he knew his characters, and his command of unique voices truly enhanced the performance.
The story line, though quite violent, is tempered with an emotional thread that keeps the reader wondering what else could possibly happen to our poor hero - just as the story takes on a new dimension you didn't see coming, and sweeps you into a whole new venue of conflict while remaining true to the initial challenges the hero faces.
The book is written with intelligence & class not usually found in stories of this type.
Very entertaining & I feel comfortable recommending this book to those who might not otherwise give this genre a chance. Well done, Mr. Burch!

This author should hire a professional narrator.

For me the Narrator did such a bad job when his characters laughed or coughed it nearly ruined the mood the book had created.

a virtuosic performance

if it were possible the voice actor for this audiobook is there 6 or more stars.

It'll pass the time

I wont lie the rust quarter made me just want to bash my face into a wall rather than hear it. Be warned. Overall not a bad book not my favorite narraration but the author didn't really do a terrible job. Would I continue this story? I think so. I'm pretty sure I will buy book 2. The characters aren't anything complex. It's predictable but it's not bad. Just average.

Edmon takes a licking, but keeps on ticking.

Good book. It was easy to visualize characters. Hope there are more books in series.

Surprisingly good.

Surprisingly good. I wish it had a different ending though .The author did a great job with the narrative. The story , to me was very sad ..

very impelling

on the whole I really enjoyed the book but would like to have had little different ending

A good mix of fantasy and sci-fi

This story reminds me of the Red Rising series in the sense that it seems to blend sci-fi and fantasy together appropriately. The author how does an outstanding job narrating his own work, this is probably the best author narrator on the market. Overall it was an enjoyable experience, and I am looking forward to future installments by the author.

Excellent original story preformed brilliantly.

I'd never heard of the author-actor, Adam Burch before this audiobook. This is an excellent original story. Adam brought his story to life with narration as brilliant as the best of the hundreds of audiobooks I've enjoyed.
