The unabridged audiobook edition of The Kane Chronicles: The Throne of Fire, read by Joseph May and Jane Collingwood.
Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in big trouble.
As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy - Apophis, the giant snake of chaos - is rising.
If Carter and Sadie don't destroy him, the world will end in five days' time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they must revive the sun god Ra - a feat no magician has ever achieved. Because first they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells . . .
Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the earth into darkness . . . forever?

      Starred review from July 25, 2011
      The amazing performances of Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellgren make this YA fantasyâthe second volume in Riordan's The Kane Chroniclesâenthralling for listeners of any age. Descendants of the House of Life, Carter and Sadie Kane are teenage magicians responsible for preventing Egyptian gods from interfering with mortals. And this time around, the brother-and-sister team face off against the chaos snake Apophisâsomething that's bound to interfere with Sadie's 13th birthday party. But even being chased through the streets of London by monstrous gods doesn't slow down Sadie. Meanwhile, Carter continues to train a troupe of young magicians to battle the forces of evil. Free deftly handles Carter's narration; he sounds exactly like a 14âyear-old boy, while voicing dozens of other characters. Kellgren's narration is no less impressive, and her interpretation of a budding teen girl is exuberant and believable, as are the multitude of other colorful characters she creates. Between these two spirited performances, the characters come to life and leave listeners breathless. A Hyperion hardcover.

      Having learned that the god of chaos will soon be able to escape its prison, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane must do the impossible and raise the sun god, Ra, to save the world. Kevin Free bestows intelligence and bravery upon Carter's character as he attempts to protect his younger sister and the world at large. In alternating chapters, Katherine Kellgren portrays the precocious Sadie, embodying the teen's sarcasm, wit, and angst, all in a snappy British accent. The second book in the Kane Chronicles is full of action, revelations, and betrayals as the siblings face a multitude of hostile gods in their race to find Ra and confront the rivals who are determined to see them fail.
