Publisher's Summary

The riveting Chaos Walking trilogy by two-time Carnegie Medalist Patrick Ness.

“This is science fiction at its best, and is a singular fusion of brutality and idealism that is, at last, perfectly human.” (Booklist, starred review)

As a world-ending war surges around them, Todd and Viola face monstrous decisions. The indigenous Spackle, thinking and acting as one, have mobilized to avenge their murdered people. Ruthless human leaders prepare to defend their factions at all costs, even as a convoy of new settlers approaches. And as the ceaseless Noise lays all thoughts bare, the projected will of the few threatens to overwhelm the desperate desire of the many. The consequences of each action, each word, are unspeakably vast: To follow a tyrant or a terrorist? To save the life of the one you love most, or thousands of strangers? To believe in redemption, or assume it is lost? Becoming adults amid the turmoil, Todd and Viola question all they have known, racing through horror and outrage toward a shocking finale.

incredible narrating.

The trilogy is very well written, thought provoking, and emotional. The narrators voice acting make a lasting impression, making the emotions of the characters as real as your own.

Great one !

This book is my favourite on this trilogy. First, it made up for the slow, dark and kinda boring storytelling of the 2nd book. And second, this book is just action packed, from the beginning to the end.

Powerful storytelling

A strong storyline with strong performances by all actors all the way through. Hoping there will be a fourth volume!

Ever better with three narrators?!

through out series, it's building the conflict between men and women and the Spackle. and as each audio books, narrators was added for each voices. Very well done!! well written and performed by three narrators was really fun to ear.

Elise

When I read those who thought this book was merely good, I agree with everything they say. Book one was excellent, two was alright but I found myself less than thrilled about the third. The voice actor who did Todd was excellent but I found the Viola character to be irritating and sulky. I found myself going weeks of listening to other programs rather than finish this series but I did and my thoughts are simply “meh”
