Orson Scott Card
In this sequel to Card's best-selling novel Empire, Averell Torrent has become president of the United States, with enormous political and popular support, and, if people only realized it, a tight grip on the reins of both political parties. He has launched America into a get-tough, this-world-is-our-empire foreign policy stance.
But Captain Bartholomew Coleman, known as Cole to his friends and enemies alike, sees the danger Torrent poses to American democracy and the potential disasters involved in his foreign military adventures. He quickly runs afoul of the president, and on the run, he and a few friends and allies seek proof of how Torrent orchestrated the political takeover - by assassinating a president and nearly starting a civil war.

Some parts read like a top notch thriller, but this is a book lacking the heart, character, and subtley of OSC's usual style. The characters on all sides commit acts that make them unsympathetic -- as a listener I didn't know who the good guys were, even when I was told.
I'm giving it a 3 because of Rudnicki's narration, but I'd skip it unless you're an OSC junkie.

Would you listen to Hidden Empire: The Empire Duet, Part 2 again? Why?
YES! This is a poignant story. I loved the hint of sci-fi weaved into the story of political intrigue and divisiveness, reflecting a version of our current affairs.Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I listened to both Empire and Hidden Empire and the performance was A+Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I had the time, I would have listened to this in one sitting.Any additional comments?
The reviews hinting or overtly pointing to any partisanship as a reason for a less favorable review are the symptoms manifesting from the underlying problems the author addresses.Whether Left or Right or whatever, it is truly time for people to take a difficult, long hard look in the mirror and acknowledge their intolerance towards others.Empire, Hidden Empire....Hungry for #3!
