关于此有声读物
Diego believed he'd found his freedom, but little did he know his real journey was just beginning.
After the Resh's defeat, he's thrust into a role as a sub-commander in the Seressin Empire, under the watchful eye of the formidable Commander Ziron. Yet, the world he was born in is gone, leaving him struggling to make sense of it all.
Setting out on a trip to Grrlock with his best friend, Rreengrol, to visit family, Diego anticipates a relaxing vacation. But when they're unexpectedly abducted by toad-like Resh forces and taken to the dreaded Resh system, his reality takes a dark twist. Forced into a team of assassins with a chilling mission—kill Commander Ziron and the Supreme Commander—Diego has no way to warn his mentor or stop the impending disaster. He must have confidence in his own abilities and those of his otter-like friends, the Turengen, if they are to prevent the assassins' deadly plot.
Then, Diego must face a deadly decision: return to the nightmarish world of Resh. His mission—to rescue Seressin hostages—is a daring, make-or-break gamble testing his courage to the limit.
In this gripping sequel to Moon Crusher, Diego's journey unfolds against a backdrop of unrelenting suspense and self-discovery. Will he rise as the hero Seressin needs, or will the shadows of his past consume him?
Join Diego on an epic odyssey through space where destiny and courage collide, and the fate of an entire empire hangs in the balance.
作者简介
Susan Kite was born in Indiana, but because her father was in the Army, she moved extensively during her growing up years. The post library was the first place she found after a move, avidly reading fantasy, science fiction, and many other genres. In her teens, she dabbled in writing, creating stories based on characters from her favorite TV shows. With college and marriage, writing was mostly put on hold.
That changed more than twenty years ago when the writing bug bit again. For a decade, fan fiction was the main focus, but this provided practice and helped develop skills needed to write original works. A visit to the Mission San Luis Rey in California in 2001 and subsequent research became the catalyst to write her first novel, My House of Dreams. The Mendel Experiment, and its sequels, Blue Fire, and Power Stone of Alogol, were published by World Castle.
The author earned her Bachelor’s degree in secondary English and followed that up with a Master’s degree in Instructional Media at Utah State University. She worked in public school libraries for 35 years, most recently in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Now retired, Ms. Kite lives in Oklahoma City. She has been married to the love of her life, Daniel, for over 40 years. They have two children and seven grandchildren and are owned by an opinionated chiweenie-terrier.
