Excerpt
Marcellus pinned Alfred’s arms behind his back and he let out a yelp. Eadgard pulled the prostrate guard from the floor and pushed him towards Wirt, who pointed a gun at the Agro’s head. The puny male began to weep and Eadgard walked away, a look of loathing on his face.
He stood by one of the cubicles, turned his head and looked into the window. He narrowed his eyes and peered closer. I thought him daft since all I could see was gloom.
“Hey! Hey! Over here. I think I see something,” he said and beckoned us to join him. Kendra and I sped to his side, whilst Wirt and Marcellus pushed and prodded the Agro males before them. Eadgard had his nose squished against the glass. We all, except for Alfred, and the Agros, crept nearer and stared into the darkened room behind.
We all jumped back.
Out from the unlitness, a face appeared.
Then another and another and another.
As light filled the cubicles we saw more and more young ’uns and bubs alike, staring back at us.
Their hands pressed upon the panes.
Their eyes wide, their mouths open.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thrilling Read! 20 May 2014
By Margarita Gakis
Format:Paperback
'A Silence Heard' is book 2 in the Song of Forgetfulness series and picks up right where book 1, 'Echoes from the Lost Ones' left off. We follow Adara on her mission to find and free her bro-bro, Deogol, from the Agros.
As with the first novel the language of this book is stunning. So much of the world building comes from the way the characters speak and interact with each other. It's strange but yet familiar enough to be readily understood. It definitely enhances the atmosphere and the setting.
The stakes are high as Adara continues to delve deep into the mystery of the kidnapped Meeks. Without giving too much away, it really is lef or death at times for Adara and her companions as they travel to the Agro compound to find her brother and other kidnapped children.
A Silence Heard was action oriented and perilous! I was definitely on the edge of my seat as I read, waiting to find out what happened next!

I thoroughly enjoyed this follow on from Echoes of the Lost Ones as Adara continues her search for her brother, fighting her way through a world in which there is no nourishment for soul or body. Adara's only defence are her true friends and her unique gift. Full of suspense it is so easy to become immersed into this foreign world of nomadic refugees. A world in which morals do not exist and yet somehow this little band manage to maintain a sense of compassion and humanity. It is a fight for survival against a cruel and destructive enemy who tries to obliterate any good left on the earth. Tremendous read for young adults who I'm sure will identify with the futuristic genre of the book.
