Oliver Wyman
The Face of God is what every young saurian learns to call the immense, glowing object which fills the night sky on the far side of the world. Young Afsan is privileged, called to the distant Capital City to apprentice with Saleed the court astrologer. But when the time comes for Afsan to make his coming-of-age pilgrimage, to gaze upon the Face of God, his world is changed forever- for what he sees will test his faith...and may save his world from disaster!

if you feel the same, but love the struggle our early astronomers had with the church, please keep listening!
for me, it wasn't until Afsan was on his Sea voyage that I started really liking the book.
I do find it hard to believe that *this* series is ranked higher than his WWW series as that was awesome from the get, but I can see how adult males might find it difficult to bond with a teen girl as a main character.
slow start

I had trouble thinking about how their bodies worked, how their furniture was shaped, how their buildings looked, what their clothes covered… but those difficulties aside, the story was great and I’m in for more instalments!
Definitely Original!

Would you consider the audio edition of Far-Seer to be better than the print version?
Well, it's unabridged, so I'd say "no". Just as good, mind you - just a different experience than reading it to one's self.What was one of the most memorable moments of Far-Seer?
Afsan's commitment to rational scientific inquiry in the face of willful ignorance was quite compelling overall. I wish more humans held his principles!Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?
Easily Afsan - he is the protagonist, after all; and gets most of the attention in the book.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. This is one point where I might prefer the print edition, as I can read more quickly than I could listen to the audio version!Any additional comments?
Sawyer is a great author - seek out his other books! You won't be disappointed.A great book with a great performance.

Second - the story ... well it is kind of like Aesop's Fables where we have animal characters painting a picture that should be so obvious, that sometimes we have to look at in a different context to appreciate or learn from it. Such as we have here with a young brilliant mind using facts to try and help save his people when religion is damning them not to move forward in science and as a species. Living on a planet doomed for destruction, our hero pays a heavy price to help save their world.
Science versus Religion anyone?
