Romeo and Juliet meet the MAYFLOWER in the final book of the Chaos Walking series. A scout ship has come from afar to find two teens separated by opposing forces on a new world in space. Now there's war, and three compelling narrators offer three points of view in this dark tale of revenge and redemption. The voices draw listeners in, obviating the need for the strange typefaces and misspellings in the printed version. The narrators allow us to feel we really KNOW Todd, Viola, and the native with a vendetta against them. This installment is not a good place to enter this dense dystopian saga. But those who start at the beginning won't be able to stop listening to all of this slam-bang trilogy. M.M.C. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
