In a discontented kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point - he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.

Would you listen to Risk again? Why?
Yes! our whole family loves this adventure - from the 4 y/o up to the 37 y/o! Its family-friendly but has tense parts and thrilling parts and sweet parts - something for everyone!What about LC Kane’s performance did you like?
we love hearing the pronunciations of the characters and places as intended by the author. Listening to Kane also helps us get through some of the bigger-word description/"jargon" that is a little harder for my younger readers/listeners when they're reading on their own or listening to mommy!Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
the "reconciliation" between Austin and Oliver and each recognizing his own downfalls in their actionsAny additional comments?
we have the hard copies of The Quest for Truth books and are reading them as well as listening (we're further along than the audible versions so far). I HIGHLY recommend listening to the audible of the 1st book (Taken) either before or while reading the hard copy. It is so helpful in hearing the names/words of the characters that we wouldn't know how to pronounce and so now as we read the books ourselves (either as family read-alouds or my 8 y/o on her own), we read with the pronunciations as intended! We got a clearer picture of the characters by listening to the audible narration!Adventure continues and we're loving it!

Another delightful book!

The aspect that makes this book in particular stand out for me is the power struggle between Oliver and Austin. Seriously, if you substituted my living room for an abandoned jungle planet, this could be me and certain brothers who shall remain nameless. ;) In fact, that's probably the part of this story that pulled me in more than anything, given that I was coming in partway through the adventure and had very little idea what was happening. But even though I still heartily sympathize with Oliver at almost every point, the author does a great job of balancing the argument and showing different perspectives and motivations in a sympathetic way. That's not to say that certain characters don't grow and change and admit they were wrong (bonus points!), but none of them are ever totally unlikable, even when they're frustrating.
The adventure and danger kicks up a notch in this book (or maybe my perspective is a bit skewed because I already knew the outcome going into the first book--I really don't recommend reading them out of order). Dangerous journeys, threatening creatures, chases by soldiers--it's quite a ride! On the spiritual side, the truth of the quest is beginning to be revealed; there's not much concrete understanding yet, but the symbolism is strong.
Take a deep breath when you finish this one; you'll need it going into Unleash!

Nice try Eastman. I know what truth is - and it's not sneaking your ancient religion into other people's homes in the form of science fiction. Just EWE ...
I'd be using a much more diverse and colorful spectrum of the written word - but you know ... Audible.
Needless to say, I'm returning this horse-shxt ... I will NOT fund a zealot.
