The Keeper (Vega Jane, Book 2)

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Fiona Hardingham

Master storyteller David Baldacci is back with The Keeper, the follow-up to his instant number-one global best-selling and award-winning fantasy debut, The Finisher.

Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she believed it - until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she knew was a lie. Now just one thing stands between Vega Jane and freedom - the Quag. In order to leave Wormwood and discover the truth about her world, Vega and her best friend, Delph, must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is worse than Vega Jane's darkest imagining. It's a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in. The Quag will throw everything at Vega Jane. It will try to break her. It will try to kill her. And survival might come at a price not even Vega Jane is willing to pay.

Master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenaline that takes listeners to the breaking point.

A Refreshing Adventure!

The books just keeps on surprising you with new creatures and twists. Was so glad there was a second book to the story!

Good listen

Hope the next book comes out soon! Enjoyed the series so far. Vega Jane is a exciting heroine.

Love this adventure through the Quag.

I enjoyed this series very much. If you enjoy fantasy/magic books, you will enjoy this series. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and this is up there with that series imo. Vega is a true hero. There are times she got on my nerves a bit, or I was confused as to why she was reacting to a certain character in a certain way, but that’s life. Nobody is ever going to be perfect, but doing what’s right is what’s important.

This book has a new narrator from the first one. (This narrator does the rest of the series.) It took some getting used to, but she does a very good job as well.

2nd one as good as the first

I enjoyed the second installment of the Vega Jane series. I am ready for the third now! The story kept drawing me along wanting more. Some of it was predictable but the characters made it enjoyable.
