About this listen
Under the façade of the world’s finest theme park lies a secret which could alter the course of human history.
Mike and Annie, refugees from the world outside, find a home underground, behind the scenes of Dreamworld, a theme park where hope exists as it does nowhere else. But Dreamworld is threatened by a jealous competitor who kills what he can’t have. As if this were not trouble enough, the two discover that each day there are more of the “trolls” who maintain Dreamworld than there were the day before. As the trolls continue to multiply, they must discover why, or it could mean the end of Dreamworld -and the real world.
Knotted in conflict and turmoil, what was a wonderful, carefree place becomes a battleground on which Earth’s future is at stake. Only Mike and Annie, two unconventional heroes, can save it.
Spider Robinson, winner of three Hugo Awards and a Nebula Award, is renowned for his Callahan’s Place series of bestselling novels. With his wife, Jeanne, he has also written the award-winning Stardance series.

couldn't put ît down....
First Spider Robinson book I've read/listened to, and I'm going straight on to the Callaghan series. Narrator(author) is excellent.
The characters fully believable despite the mix of human and other worldly, just wish humans weren't the dominant species, but our natures would probably make this the case!
The plot has enough twists to prevent any predictability, and enough poignancy to keep it ringing true.
Definitely 5*, and I'd challenge anyone to dispute this even if they don't like sci-fi stuff....

Excellent performance
This audio book was read by the author himself do he knew how the characters should sound in his head. He then did his best to reproduce their voices when reading their lines and, in my opinion, did a better job than any other reader could’ve done.

Why didn't I read Spider Robinson years ago?
I simply enjoyed it. After not enjoying two previous books this was mind cleansing

Amazing YA adventure.
This is a wonderful story full of adventure, brilliant concepts and great characters. It very well read. Just get past the author's note at the start... boring waffle that almost put me off. It really is a cracking book.
