Story
In a changed world where the sky bleeds red, winter is hotter than hell and full of sandstorms, and summer's even hotter with raging fires that roam the desert-like country, the Heaters manage to survive, barely. Due to toxic air, life expectancies are so low that the only way the tribe can survive is by forcing women to procreate when they turn 16 and every three years thereafter. It is their duty as Bearers. Fifteen-year-old Siena is a Youngling, soon to be a Bearer, when she starts hearing rumors of another tribe of all women, called the Wild Ones.

Story
It began on New Year's Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world's population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magic rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max.

Summary
Huck Jones, the son of the admiral of the Soaker fleet, has a legacy to live up to. Haunted by the distorted memories of his mother's untimely death, he must face his demons and the man who raised him as he strives to take the courageous step forward into manhood. When he's transferred to the worst-performing ship in the fleet, everything he believes is called into question when he meets a lowly brown-skinned bilge rat girl. Huck walks a deadly rope.
Meanwhile, Sadie, destined to be a Rider in the Stormer army, seeks to avenge her brother's death at the hands of the Soakers. Trained hard by her mother, an experienced Rider, Sadie knows strength and determination more than most. Her father, a Man of Wisdom, has shown his cowardice more times than she can count. As her world and family fall apart, she must cast aside her anger and focus on the wisdom she's always brushed off as foolishness.
Amidst everything, a Plague ravages all, discriminating against no one.
When four worlds collide, lines will be drawn, sides will be chosen, victory will be sought. Death will be wrought. The mysteries of the Cure for the deadly Plague will be uncovered. Who will survive? And what will those who do learn about themselves and the ones they love?

good enough books, terrible narrators.
Note, review is for all 3 books as a whole.
I listened to this series of books as I enjoyed the dwellers saga and the 4th book of that series is also the 4th book of this series, so thought I might aswel listen to these. the books themselves are good enough, nothing that's going to blow your mind but ok really. I do quite like how multiple story's of several main characters all end up tying in together.
my main gripe would be the accents of the ummmm.... voice actors?? I don't know what they are called but they truly are awful. The replacement of curse words for "scorchin'" or "icein" is a tad annoying but a bit if a gimmick and not the end of the world but overall I find the reading, accents and pronunciations really annoying. but overall worth a listen I suppose but dwellers saga is far better.

Good tie in with The Dwellers series!
after following the stories of the Sun, Star and Moon dwellers this series came in my suggested list. it sat in my wish list for a while,I was not convinced I'd enjoy it. how much is too much? after a break for some other adventures I figured I'd give it a try. starting with the first of these three it took me just 2 weeks to devour them.
I don't think it matters which series you start with as after finishing this one I believe it would've been okay either way. though there ARE things that I caught in this series that made me glad I'd heard the Dwellers saga first.
give it a go, if you liked The Dwellers you'll like this!

Excellent storytelling. wonderful saga.
Very good ensemble performances. Memorable characters. My favorite is Katherine Hvam. She is a performer to be closely watched. Mr. Estes is a masterful author. The audio is so good that I will probably purchase the books for my collection.

Interesting
This 3rd book in the series was interesting. It wasn't my favorite of the saga but it was nice to finally bring everything together. I felt some of the story was jumpy or over dramatic between the two main characters but overall not bad.
Kate Russ's narration was pretty good. She was passionate and sharp. I wasn't a fan of some the character voice such as "evil" but over all easy to listen to.
Kirby Hayeborne was ok at best. He kept the same vocal cadence almost the entire time which made his part drag for me. I like the sound of his voice I just wish it had more energy and diversity.
I was glad to hear Khristine Hvams voice again. She has power and spunk in her voice which is always fun to listen too.
Overall, it was a good read and I would recommend it to all.

Still a good Story line, good twist and turns
I like the story as it is developing, I enjoy the female characters, and Dazz and Siena etc. The only thing I did not like was the emotionalism of the young Storm Lieutenant. Way too much for a young man. It was like he was always on the brink of an emotional break down. Good story line, I hope the character can mature up in the next book.

Another stellar story and performance
I just finished the audio having read this in print the first time. The performances of Kate Rudd as Sadie, Kirby Heybourne as Huck, and Khristine Hvam back as Siena (which seriously made me so happy!! And extremely emotional in Siena's first chapter!!). I'm a huge fan of both Kristine and Kate! This was my first time listening to Kirby and he was great as Huck. All 3 really captured the essence of their characters.
In this final episode of the Country Saga, we head to the land of the Soakers and the Stormers. Huck is the son of the admiral in the Soaker fleet, and this book opens with his coming of age as a Lieutenant in the Soaker fleet; and Sadie is to be a legendary Rider of the Stormers. Both of these strong characters tell their stories as each country wages war against the other.
Once again, I listened to this book with extreme emotions running gamut from extreme sadness and tears running down my cheeks to complete giddiness, to chuckling over a remark made by one of these beloved characters to pure elation and back again to tears, and then giddiness, over and over again. Estes delivers and tells his tale like no one else can. He has honed his mad talent to make it near impossible for me as the reader to pull out and realize that I’m not actually in the middle of a terrible storm, but actually driving in bright sunlight or wrapping Xmas presents.
Thank you for the honor, David Estes, of letting me live in your world (again) for the past six books. I'm downloading The Earth Dwellers right now so I can jump right back into this amazing world you've created. My absolutely favorite narrators are all back for the finale of this epic tale that ties both series together and I must run off now to start listening!
