Professor Maxine Sayers once found her personal and professional life so fulfilling that she founded the Institute for Future Studies, a program dedicated to studying the effects of technology on our culture and finding ways to prolong human life. But when her beloved husband dies, she is so devastated she can barely get out of bed. To make matters worse, her son, Zach, has abruptly quit his job in Silicon Valley and been out of contact for seven months. Maxine is jolted from her grief by her sudden suspicion that a favorite former student might be a terrorist called the Technobomber.

Revisado: 01-31-21
A well-written, compelling story with a great narrator (the latter is so important with an audio book). I found the characters captivating, the tension building and pulling me in, and the story very relevant in context of our currently crazy world.
This is the first book by Eileen Pollack I've read and I will be reading her other books now!

Historia4 out of 5 stars 13
Summer, 1936. In England, an assassin is loose. Someone is killing young people who possess Talents. As terror overtakes Britain, Kim Tavistock, now officially employed by England's Secret Intelligence Service, is sent on her first mission: to the remote Sulcliffe Castle in Wales, to use her cover as a journalist to infiltrate a spiritualist cult that may have ties to the murders. Meanwhile, Kim's father, trained spy Julian Tavistock, runs his own parallel investigation - and discovers the terrifying Nazi plot behind the serial killings.

Compelling Premise & Intriguing Characters
Revisado: 04-28-18
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Very well written. Couldn't wait to listen to it each day.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters come alive and their "dark talents" make them irresistible.
Have you listened to any of Nicola Barber’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but she is great and the perfect match for this book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Some of my favorite moments are when a character's "talent" is being revealed to the reader. Kay Kenyon does a great job of showing us these talents as if they actually exist. Such a fine line between fantasy and reality in these books.
Any additional comments?
If you haven't read/listened to Book 1, At The Table of Wolves, yet, get that one too! Can't wait for Book 3!
