The War of the Givens

The Silvers Series, Book 3

De: Daniel Price

Narrado por: Rich Orlow

X-Men meets Blake Crouch in the explosive conclusion to Daniel Price’s genre-bending Silvers trilogy about six extraordinary people whose fates become intertwined on an Earth far different from our own...one that is headed for utter destruction.

It's been two years since the world collapsed in a sheet of light, obliterating everything on Earth...but not quite everyone. Saved from the apocalypse by three mysterious beings, sisters Hannah and Amanda Given were marked with silver bracelets, along with four other survivors from their native world, and transported to an entirely different Earth, a place where the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances. Afflicted with time-bending powers they never wanted, and on the run from unexpected new enemies, “the Silvers” embarked on a dangerous journey for survival across an alien America—a hunt for answers that bound the group like family while revealing the gravely sinister intentions of their so-called saviors.

But their new Earth is about to suffer the same fate as the old one and the Silvers have only ten weeks to prevent it. Their one hope is to find the remaining survivors of their home world—a quest that will take them from Mexico to England to a radically changed Japan—to gain more allies for the final confrontation with the godlike beings who first brought them to this Earth. Failure will mean death for billions of people. But victory may come at a cost the Silvers can’t afford.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The story has plenty to offer in its exciting, exceptionally complicated plot and well-crafted characters." —Kirkus

"Daniel Price has done it again in this third installment of the Silvers series. Filled with his trademark action-filled plots, whip-smart dialogue, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The War of the Givens especially stands out with its clever mix of plot twists and emotional gut punches, where relationships between characters matter just as much as saving the alternate world in which they all find themselves. I loved everything about this pitch-perfect conclusion to Price’s groundbreaking sci-fi trilogy."—A. J. Sass, award winning author of Ellen Outside the Lines and Ana on the Edge

“Daniel Price draws his Silvers trilogy to a close with this big, bold, beautiful comic book sci-fi extravaganza that somehow manages to out-Avengers The Avengers. The War of the Givens is a heartfelt epic, mashing together the best elements of genre staples like the X-Men by way of Fringe, with plenty of big-screen action and extraordinarily consequential heroics. I loved it!”—Michael Patrick Hicks, author of the Salem Hawley series and Friday Night Massacre

An Excellent Conclusion to a Fantastic Trilogy

I absolutely loved this series. It is full of science fiction and speculative history, with characters who possess supernatural powers working together against really wretched villains.. At its core though, it is a story of the bonds forged in shared adversity and purpose, and the lengths we will go to for those we love. I re-listened to books one and two before starting book three. ’m so glad Rich Orlow was brought back to narrate this final installment. He did an excellent job bringing the large cast of characters to life. This conclusion was satisfying, hit all the right notes, and was well worth the wait. I know these are a listen I re-visit again. I would heartily recommend the entire series.

excellent!

hit all the right notes and didn't take the easy outssatisfying conclusion that was worth the wait

Great ending

Most books that I have read end terribly. Enough so that sometimes I loth the thought of reading the last book of a series. This is probably the best wrap up I’ve read in quite awhile.

favorite series ever

the silver series is my favorite series everrrrrrr! Daniel Price out did himself with the final book!!

loved this series

This is one of my favorite series. From the beginning when I got to read the first chapter of The Flight of the Silvers I was enthralled with the story. This book was a sad but amazing conclusion to an amazing series. I'm sad the journey is over but glad I took the trip.

So so sooo good!

So sad the story is over, but the final book was truly amazing. Just finished it and literally about to start it over…just so hard to give up these characters!!

Worth the wait

I loved the conclusion of the series. Ir was Well worth the wait for this book

Brilliant

I agree with the last reviewer. I’m sad it’s over. I can’t recommend this series enough.
The narration is also stellar.

Original story

Loved the original storyline, well written and loved the characters - it was heartbreaking to lose some of them

Impressed by the World and Character Building

The story was fantastic. After waiting years for the final book in the trilogy, I was still able to follow the story fine without going back to the previous book. It kept me interested throughout and I was very impressed with the narrator’s ability to create voices and sometimes accents for so many different people. This was high quality sci-fi with memorable characters that you feel for. Well done!
