This unabridged version of THE WHEEL OF DARKNESS was narrated by Rene Auverjonois. Rene is really a great narrator.
I have listened to most of the other novels that 'star' Special Agent Pendergast and this one started out a little different. Quite honestly I thought I wasn't going to like it. I didn't think it would be very interesting because the main characters were going to be going on the maiden voyage of a luxury ocean liner -- and what can happen on one of those. Boy, was I wrong. I got sucked into the drama. Agent Pendergast has always been the kindest, smartest kind of person. That changed in this story.
I think the books just keep getting better and better. I have already started listening to the next story CEMETERY DANCE. I will then have to wait for the next one after that, Fever Dance ... maybe I will have to listen to the first one again and then the rest of them. I hope Douglas and Lincoln can keep the stories coming.
