Publisher's summary

"Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man's shoulder blades. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out of the opening, ready to attack. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest.

"It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer.

"Three knives were buried up to their brass cross guards in the man's chest. Only the handles were showing. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man's chest. The point of that same blade stuck out from the man’s back.

"Richard recognized the knife handles. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File.

"He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up to his face. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death."

Sequel to the #1 New York Times best seller The Omen Machine.

A dark twist to the series.

Both this and it's predecessor, The Omen Machine, are very dark compared to the rest of series. I can't decide which take is better, the original books or the new, darker side of the story. They're both great and highly recommended. Anyway, I loved this book!

Delayed recording the entire time

I love the author and narrator but the starting was always delayed making it sound like he was in the middle of a sentence. It happened for about half of the book and was frustrating and annoying. I love his voice and emotion but the delay drove me insane.

amazing amazing amazing

Just amazing. Perfect way to dive back into the story of Kahlan/Richard after the First Confessor. I just wish it was longer as it was so engrossing.

I personally like this series of the timeline

I guess I'm one of the ones that actually enjoys the Omen Machine series. each book has its moments good and bad, but I enjoy the world Terry wrote about. The 3rd Kingdom sets a more ominous darker tone than the previous books. The main villain is definitely on another level of evil.
Sam does a great job with narration and sets a good pace.

in the top 5 of terry goodkind`s books !

although the conversation with samantha(a wizard)was very long,she really kicked ass afterward!Sam Tsoutsouvas is really pleasant to listen to and brings a plus to the story it was worth hanging on in there.i hope the sequel is as good with cara on a rampage!
