An accident leads to the discovery of a mysterious machine that has rested hidden deep underground for countless millennia. The machine awakens to begin issuing a series of increasingly alarming, if minor, omens. The omens turn out to be astonishingly accurate, and ever more ominous. As Zedd tries to figure out how to destroy the sinister device, the machine issues a cataclysmic omen involving Richard and Kahlan, foretelling an impending event beyond anyone’s ability to stop. As catastrophe approaches, the machine then reveals that it is within its power to withdraw the omen... In exchange for an impossible demand.

great story

This book was a bit of an odd departure for Goodkind, straying a little into the realm of science fiction. He seemed to struggle awkwardly with dialogue at times as well.
The narrator is talented and engaging but there is a lot of sharp sibilance that could be mitigated by better audio equipment and mixing.
That said, the book is enjoyable and entirely too short! I'm looking forward to the next in the series!

Too short

I hate noticing small mistakes but at 4:37:09 he says "palace of the prophet's" when he means to say "people's palace"
This is so far my least favorite book. Some places are good but other places I had a hard time listening too. If I had to read it I probably would have given up and skipped it.

Not Terry's best story, but a good listen. I hope the next book gets me back into the same rhythm as the Sword of Truth series did.
