About this listen

 The sphere is alien in origin, but has been controlled by Man for millennia. A legend as old as the stars rules this constructed world: when the seventh seventh seventh human Heptarch is crowned, he will be the Kristos and will bring eternal salvation...or the destruction of the cosmos.

Patience is the only daughter of the rightful Heptarch, but she, like her father before her, serves the usurper who has destroyed her family. For she has learned the true ruler's honor: that duty to one's race is more important than duty to one's self. But the time for prudence has passed, and that which has slept for ages has awakened. Patience must journey to the heartsoul of this planet to confront her destiny...and her world's.

Wyrms is an Orson Scott Card classic, one of the novels that helped forge his young career.

Not his best work

I'm working my way through all of Orson's work and this is not as good as most others.

just keep listening

It took me a few chapters to start understanding the characters, and the setting, but once I did, I was hooked. I love stories that spark my imagination, and this one lit it on fire. Lots of action, and an interesting plot. I'll definitely listen again.
