About this listen
"Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man's shoulder blades. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out of the opening, ready to attack. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest.
"It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer.
"Three knives were buried up to their brass cross guards in the man's chest. Only the handles were showing. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man's chest. The point of that same blade stuck out from the man’s back.
"Richard recognized the knife handles. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File.
"He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up to his face. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death."
Sequel to the #1 New York Times best seller The Omen Machine.

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....

From the internationally best-selling author of the Sword of Truth series comes a new Richard and Kahlan novella. "They are the monsters under the bed when you are little, the shape just caught out of the corner of your eye when you thought you were alone, the shadow of something in a dark corner that surprises you and then isn't there. They stop you dead with a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. I think that the star shift has brought us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to step into our world and hurt us."

Some of the same but with a twist.
If you are a fan of this series you won’t be disappointed with this title. While yes it seems that again there is a dark force come to fight against Richard and Khalan this one is darker yet. This book is definitely one of the more graphic books in the entire series but it serves the story well being that way.
Overall an enjoyable read or listen.
Having Sam Tsoutsouvas as narrator again also helps to build on the detail that Goodkind wrote.

Meh. It's fine
It's fine. You kind of feel like you don't know where terry is taking us. Nor do we like where he's probably taking us. Oh well

WORTH READING IF YOU LIKED HIS OLDER BOOKS
I have to admit I was skeptical starting this book not being terribly impressed with the Omen Machine. However, once I got into the story it really felt like a worthy addition to the series and was just as moving as when I read some of earlier books for the first time that I loved like Temple of the Winds, Chainfire, etc.
Yes Goodkind can be repetitive, cheesy and predictable at times but it's hard to completely forgive these points when other aspects of the story are so mezmerizingly beautiful and profound. The sense of character development, redemption, and the nature of magic will draw you in wholly just like his previous books. What Goodkind does well, he does extremely well and this book is another testament to that fact.
The subplots surrounding the personal stories of Sam(antha) and Cara here are somehow so profoundly moving that several times I had to stop reading because to my surprise I wasn't just teary but balling my eyes out all of a sudden which is something I hadn't done in many years.
There's just something that's hard to define that caused me to be completely pulled in to the story and concerned about the characters like they were my real life friends.

A good new spin
what a great new spin on things. As usual Terry Goodkind hits the spot, keeping you wanting more. I love this narrator but I listen to my audio on 1.45 so I can see his voice making people sleep. He has a vary relaxing voice. All in all great book on all accounts.

1 voice was very wrong
my one complaint about the performance is that the voice of one of the most menacing characters sounded like he was just a very old person

It's okay
Maybe I am burnt out on Terry Goodkind's books. I found this book to go on and on and on about same concepts and ideas throughout the book (and series). I found I couldn't listen to the same drivel and would have to switch books and listen to something a lot more interesting. #Audible1

what used to be 1 book is now many
I enjoyed the first part of this series but they have been getting worse and worse. I bought this book hoping that it would be better but I feel like what should have been 1 book is being spread over many because there is no end to the plots or subplots. feels like a money grab.
no more character development, no story to speak of, I am rather underwhelmed by what this series has become.

very redundant
he recaps the book itself every chapter or two. it gets annoying very quick. he does this in other books, bit it seems like he is doing it more frequently just to increase word count
