About this listen

 The sphere is alien in origin, but has been controlled by Man for millennia. A legend as old as the stars rules this constructed world: when the seventh seventh seventh human Heptarch is crowned, he will be the Kristos and will bring eternal salvation...or the destruction of the cosmos.

Patience is the only daughter of the rightful Heptarch, but she, like her father before her, serves the usurper who has destroyed her family. For she has learned the true ruler's honor: that duty to one's race is more important than duty to one's self. But the time for prudence has passed, and that which has slept for ages has awakened. Patience must journey to the heartsoul of this planet to confront her destiny...and her world's.

Wyrms is an Orson Scott Card classic, one of the novels that helped forge his young career.

I loved this book. The unusual premise of the world on which it is set, and the beings that inhabit it. A really good storyline and development of its characters. The spiritual discussions and dilemmas (lots of depth there if you want it). Great narration. Amusing and interesting afterward by author. Super-highly recommended.

Very interesting idea and implementation. The author mentioned it was before Speaker for the dead but it was allready obvious. Very similar but still it's own. Liked it very much. Would have liked it to be longer or a series but it is enough as it is.

Great idea
