Shadow of the Hegemon is a fast-paced and harrowing thriller that brings to life an extremely well done audiobook by Orson Scott Card. The narrator, David Birney, has a very recognizable voice that makes him perfect for this sci-fi book. Gabrielle De Cuir also does justice to her role as narrator because her voice is soothing and hypnotic. This audiobook is one of the best books I've ever listened too and it's easy to see why so many people like it so much.
