Synopsis

Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy.

Everyone has been trying to keep Gregor from seeing the final prophecy, The Prophecy of Time. It says something awful: It calls for the warrior’s death. The warrior being Gregor, of course. Now, an army of rats is quickly approaching and Gregor’s mom and little sister, Boots, are still in Regalia. The entire existence of the Underland is in Gregor’s hands and time is running out. There is a code that must be cracked, a new princess to contend with Gregor’s burgeoning dark side, and a war designed to end all wars.

In this suspenseful final installment in the acclaimed Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins unfolds the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor the Overlander, in a manner that can only be described as masterful.

About this title

About the Author:

Suzanne Collins’s Underland Chronicles–Gregor the Overlander, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, and Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods–have received wide praise in the United States and abroad.

From AudioFile:

Paul Boehmer's voice is solemn as he narrates this fifth and final fantasy in the Underland Chronicles. Gregor learns why no one has told him what is in The Prophecy of Time. It states that "the warrior will die," and Gregor is the warrior. Now he must make a hard decision: stay and fight or flee with his family. Paul Boehmer portrays Gregor as he struggles with his conflicted emotions and his growing feelings for Luxa, Queen of Regalia. Boehmer creates atmosphere by slightly modulating his voice to depict the darker tone of the story and the maturity of its theme. The satisfying conclusion is bittersweet as listeners say good-bye to the many unforgettable characters in this finely crafted series. L.A.C. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
