About this listen
When it is discovered that his is the voice that the Emperor has waited decades for, Ansset is summoned to the Imperial Palace on Old Earth. Many fates rest in Ansset's hands, and his songs will soon be put to the test: either to salve the troubled conscience of a conqueror or drive him, and the universe, into mad chaos.
A man for all genres: don't miss our many other titles by Orson Scott Card.©1978 Orson Scott CardCritic Reviews
"Orson Scott Card is a fine writer with great insight, great idealism, and love." (Science Fiction Review)
"Card understands the human condition and has things of real value to say about it. He tells the truth well, ultimately the only criterion of greatness." (Gene Wolfe)
Listening to it (superbly narrated by Stefan Rudnicki) brings back fond memories but I never realized how sad Ansset's life actually was and how homosexuality was viewed at the time the book was written, still a favorite but now viewed in a different light.
