Shannach - The Last by Leigh Douglass Brackett ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Shannach - The Last by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the Twilight Belt of Mercury, hard-bitten prospector Trevor has one obsession: sun-stones, the rare crystals that can buy a lifetime of freedom. When an earthquake buries his ship and leaves him to die in suffocating darkness, he gambles on the planet's ancient tunnels - and is swept into a hidden valley where water runs clean, crops grow green, and a stone city rises from the mist. But this pocket of paradise is ruled by terror. Winged lizard-things circle like trained hawks, hunters ride out at a booming signal, and men with sun-stones set into their foreheads serve a brutal order. Trevor's first act of mercy - stepping between a hunted girl and her pursuers - marks him as an enemy, a prize, and possibly a tool. As he learns what the sun-stones can do, and who (or what) listens through them, Trevor is pulled into a conflict that is bigger than profit and more dangerous than any cave-in: the struggle to break a silent, ancient tyranny without becoming its next mask. In Leigh Brackett's shadowy planetary romance, survival is only the beginning - the real fight is for the right to think and choose.
