    About this audiobook

    "Barrie Kreinik narrates a complex fantasy about the multifaceted nature of truth...The structure of this story is intricate, despite being short, and Kreinik masterfully weaves a path through its various narratives." -- AudioFile Magazine

    Hugo Award finalist Daniel Polansky crafts an innovative, mind-bending fantasy mystery in The Seventh Perfection

    When a woman with perfect memory sets out to solve a riddle, the threads she tugs on could bring a whole city crashing down. The God-King who made her is at risk, and his other servants will do anything to stop her.

    To become the God-King's Amanuensis, Manet had to master all seven perfections, developing her body and mind to the peak of human performance. She remembers everything that has happened to her, in absolute clarity, a gift that will surely drive her mad. But before she goes, Manet must unravel a secret which threatens not only the carefully prepared myths of the God-King's ascent, but her own identity and the nature of truth itself.

      Audiobook is absolutely the best format for this title. Barrie Kreinik's narration and different voices make the story so much easier to follow than reading the physical text.
