The Wheel of Darkness

By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrated by: Rene Auberjonois

A luxury ocean liner on its maiden voyage across the North Atlantic, awash in wealth and decadence...

An ancient Tibetan box, its contents unknown, sealed with a terrifying warning...

An FBI agent destined to confront what he fears most--himself...

Loved story, hated narrator change.

Would you try another book from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and/or Rene Auberjonois?

Yes I will try one of their (Preston & Lincoln) other series. Rene would be better If the characters had not been established in a whole other voice. What is funny is the three narrators before Brick picked up series flowed. Not nearly as abrupt a change as Auberjonois. I had a hard time even liking the books because of the change. It hurts to read and I loved the stories so I kept listening.

What did you like best about this story?

Pendergast becoming more human with each story.

What aspect of Rene Auberjonois’s performance would you have changed?

Slow and grumbled. I knew the characters portrayed by Brick. Took me almost all the rest of series to get used to new voices. Never really learned to like them. I listened to whole series because I love agent Pendergast.

Any additional comments?

Get Brick back for next Pendergast book please.

Superb

This narrator is incredible and the authors have maintained "edge of seat" suspense and drama with every chapter. This book made my hour commute disappear. In fact, several times, I've sat in garage unable to stop listening to my car player.

engrossing

great for a long car ride, this one is tough to turn off when you get to work.

My favorite yet

It was such a wonderful, enticing story. It was difficult to hear rene as pendergast after scott brick performing so many novels in a row.

Lack luster

This is the first Pendergast book I have not been thrilled with. Most of it having to do with the narrator, but the story wasn’t that exciting either. Looks like audible switched performances, the narrator on all prior books was great, this one slipped in and out of very poor accents which grated on my ears.
