Critic reviews

"This is an intense and interesting story, entwining the quest for eternal life with the history of America, New York, and present-day politics and influence. Rene Auberjonois crafts his narration with great care; each word is voiced with perfect tone, pitch, and emotion, and each character is provided with a fitting personality. The result is narration that flows beautifully while providing insight into the story and those who inhabit it. Satisfyingly imbued with thrills and suspense, the prose is fully realized in Auberjonois's performance, and he even manages to make some of the more fantastic aspects seem reasonable. A totally engrossing experience."—AudioFile Magazine

Characters

Loved it! It was very hard to put down and I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Great story

Great story and narration but why was there music with narration? Didn’t like that, it was very distracting

Great story

With zero disrespect to Mr. Marosz, I prefer a different narration style. Great story. Great plot.

Convoluted

I loved the story and performance, but not the barely audible background and some repetition of some dialog. isn't it wonderful to learn more about Pendergast? I recommend this book.

Great story

Great story. Love the author. He’s done a very good job with these characters. Did not like the background sounds and music. Very distracting.
