The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world's stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held.

Well crafted ending of an epic story, masterfully narrated
Revisado: 08-22-24
I got used to a-bit-unsatisfactory endings of multi book stories with many many characters. This was definitely not the case. Things I found annoying at the beginning started making sense. There were still surprises in the last book, the character archs made sense, and I feel closure with the good ending. And the narration - I have to admit that when after the first book the narrator changed, I was a bit annoyed. But by the fourth book I have realized that Mr. Smith even improved the written version. One specific part blew my mind and made me cry in a way the written version would not (I think you will know which part I mean after listening to it).
I invested a lot of the time in these books, and I am happy I did. Thank you.

Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer - a spiritual counselor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away.

Interesting and complex world and characters
Revisado: 07-18-24
I read this book a few years ago (on second attempt - the language required some getting-used-to), and now I decided to listen to it again before I read the book 4, because the world and the story are quite complex and I didn't remember the details. The audio version is great, and I enjoyed listening to it.

Great book on how to live longer (and better)
Revisado: 05-02-23
This book provides the overview of what is important if you want to live a long and healthy life. Well researched, but also provides a framework for thinking about applying (or not) such research in one's life. If you want to dig even deeper into some of the topics, there are multiple in depth podcasts available.
Narration is great, I'm really glad that the author did it.
