About this listen

*Narrated by three-time Emmy-Winning Author A. R. Witham*

The sequel to The Crimes of Rooker Flynn.

Rooker Flynn made his choice. He cut the bond that tied him to the only person who could hold him back. Now free to pursue his own path, Rooker must discover a way to thrive inside the Locke Institute, outlasting entire gangs of criminals, outrunning giant spiders, and outfoxing Headmistress Gerba Whipmarples herself, never forgetting that sunset is always coming, and with it...the horrendous shiq. But there are more secrets on this tropical island than Rooker ever imagined, and each answer leads to another mystery.

• Why does the Institute collect the prisoners' blood?

• How did the Headmistress master a spider-dragon?

• What secret lies at the heart of Huánghūn?...and, perhaps most importantly..."Where's the dog, Rooker?"

Join Rooker Flynn on an adventure inside the legendary labor camp that's nastier than your worst nightmares, where he discovers there's more to life than survival, and the worst prisons are the ones we build ourselves. A story of betrayal, perseverance, abandonment, and revenge, The Trial of Rooker Flynn is more than an ordeal, it's a reckoning.

Fantastic Sequel!

Have you listened to The Crimes of Rooker Flynn? Then you know how that one ended … Mr. Witham has done it again! Cliff hanger! I should remove a star from my rating because I hate the wait! But nope!

The story starts where the last left off. Escape is on everyone’s mind but first you’re going to get a little bit of Rooker’s origin story. Gerba is still evil & shiq are still, yuck! There’s plenty with the old characters but new characters shine also.

Patch is a fabulous character and her journey is worthy of note! I loved done of the new monsters & there’s a cave that’s described so well you’ll feel like you’re there.

While this might be aimed at a younger crowd, as an adult I really annoyed it! Rooker was one of my favorite characters from The Legend of Black Jack and here his character is challenged to become more than who he was or thought he wanted to be. Fantastic character development.

This remains a dark story with body horror, monsters, evil bullies, abandonment, confinement, surgery without anesthesia, etc. but there are moments of positivity that bring hope for a happy ending …

… you won’t get it in this book but maybe the next! Keep reading and find out! Fantastic, imaginative story.

I received the audiobook from the author & I’ve ordered the paperback for my shelf (only because there isn’t a hardcover edition). The author’s narration brings life to the story, I can recommend the audiobooks. Enjoy!

Fantastic Book 2 with Incredible Narration!

This was heaps of fun and a very solid book 2 that had me noticeably more engaged chapter to chapter than Crimes did, and I found myself getting emotionally invested in the tale by the end and wishing I could head right into bk 3 (what a cliffhanger!).

I did it fully by audio narrated by the author himself, and Witham's narration is just so lively and vivacious I couldn't help but get swept up in the story through his telling. It took a little time to hook me, but somewhere in the middle I started to really click with Rooker's POV in a way I hadn't before as I came to really understand his core and motivations (not to mention the way he changes and goes on a compelling arc in just this book).

Here and in all Witham's Keymark books, there is a certain trademark zany voice that's like nothing I've experienced elsewhere, with a unique mix of childlike playfulness combined with very adult grittiness and danger. I may not always be in the mood for it, but by golly The Trial of Rooker Flynn hit me at exactly the right time after one of the heaviest reads of my life just before. This was exactly the jolt of joy I needed, and if you've already enjoyed bk 1 of this trilogy, I guarantee this one will not disappoint.

Loved the performance

The audio version of the book helped me connect more to the story and took me on the grand adventure that is this book.

King of the Cliffhanger

AR Witham has done it again!! Not a dull moment, and a cliffhanger ending that has me counting the days until book 3! Phenomenal narration, and an awesome fantasy adventure story that is somehow FUN and BRUTAL at the same time! So much whimsy doesn’t usually come hand in hand with dark themes and violence, but it sooo works.
