But he has more secrets than anyone realizes, and a few more cards left to play...

This is one of the most convoluted, twisty plots I've heard in a long time. It's full of surprises and brilliant! And the characters are so well developed. They're voiced well by Vas Eli, Emana Rachelle, Lee Osorio, Natasha Soudek and Philip Hernandez, although their performances aren't completely flawless. The narration is nothing to rave about, but the story is complex and riveting. I simply did not want to pause my player. I highly recommend this book.
