Critic Reviews: "Very entertaining! (Midwest Book Review) Members Reviews: One of my favorites MaryJanice Davidson has been one of my favorites since I first learned of her books. I started reading them and haven't had the time and was happy to find it on audiobook. This story didn't disappoint me. The narration was done well and loved to listen to Angela Gulner read the story and hear her interpretation of the characters Terrible reader The reader for this book was so bad that I couldn't finish the ebook. She couldn't keep her voice the same from sentence to the next. She shifted back and forth from southern, french to hispanic and even asian, all being spoken by the same person. She also portrayed the best friend as a sqeaky voiced half wit. A great book for any Maryjancie Davidson's fan. Maryjancie Davidson is an author that knows no boundaries. I have been a fan of her books for years. This is my first audio book of Maryjancie Davidson's I have listern to and it didn't disappoint. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Salvage-in-Space-Audiobook/B0036BOG82 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In Salvage in Space, a spaceman who ekes out a living by mining precious metals from meteors comes across an incredible find - a ship drifting in space with no one aboard. When he gets inside, he finds that there is actually one creature he recognizes alive - a very frightened dog - and one he does not recognize because he cannot see it: an invisible alien that seems to have destroyed and somehow disposed of the entire crew.

Jack Williamson was a classic pulp sci-fi writer, and this plot is one of the hoary best, but the treatment is so-so. The plot: a sole traveler in interstellar space finds a derelict spacecraft with no crew except one living dog and one preserved young woman's body...and an invisible something... Written in 1933, this is a very early take on an oft-repeated plot. I generally like Williamson's writing, which makes this a pretty enjoyable version, but the plot is quite predictable. Jim Roberts' narration subtracts from the story. He doesn't sound like he is narrating, but reciting---and giving a pretty monotonous, plodding recitation at that. This is the second or third book I've gotten narrated by him, and I've been uniformly disappointed by his reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Calm-Man-Audiobook/B0036GROUE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When they say that war changes a man, they're being euphemistic. War makes a man insane by civilian standards. When the man comes back, he may return to civilian norms again. After a while. I'm not proud of many of the things that happened in Nam. I'm not proud of some of the things I did myself. But the men I served with were, for the most part, doing the best job they could with the cards they'd been dealt. I'm proud of them, and I'm proud to have been among them. Anybody's got a right to criticize the things that happened. But don't criticize the men who did them unless you've been in their shoes. Ever since I came back, the object of my military fiction has been to put somebody as normal as you, or as I was, into a war zone.

Members Reviews: decent collection, terrible narrator I like this collection of short stories I also own a paper copy however the narrator was terrible. wild character voices were possible the voice of narration was filled with an arch sarcastic tone that fitted The Importance of Being Earnest perhaps but not a series of military short stories I finally gave up listening to it because I couldn't stand the narration https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/If-I-Forget-Thee-Oh-Earth-Audiobook/B00KZ0A302 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Braddon doesn't wear well Many Victorians have stood the test of time, showing their quality by contrast with later ages, as do the finest antiques. Unfortunately, I've found Mary Elizabeth Braddon has not held up well. This was my second try with her writing, the first being "Lady Audley's Secret." This rather predictable and not at all scary tale is of the old "damsel in distress" variety. A young, innocent, and chatty girl from Walford looks for a position so that she may help her poor mother, a seamstress. Sadly, her reduced circumstances have not allowed her to become "accomplished" in any of the ways a wealthy lady seeking a companion might require. Still, she persists with her disagreeable employment agent and finds work with a very aged Adeline, Lady Ducayne. Soon they are abroad in Italy. Sadly, I wish they hadn't bothered to go. "Good Lady Ducayne" isn't much of a story. It certainly isn't much of a vampire story. I found the ending utterly ridiculous. But perhaps you will disagree. If you do give this one a chance, you'll be hearing a great narrator: Anne Rosenfeld. Five stars there. I'd love to listen to her again. charming victorian vampire story What did you love best about Good Lady Ducayne? its charming What did you like best about this story? the excellent reader What about Anne Rosenfelds performance did you like? she sounds like a Victorian woman Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? no Any additional comments? a great little Victorian vampire story to listen to with tea I first read this classic years ago when I bought the Dracula book of great vampire stories its great having it in audio format and ann rosenfield is the perfect reader for this story its not a scary story just slightly eerie and oozing with Victorian style a must for any fan of classic folkloric vampire tales https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Defenders-Audiobook/B003A6423M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Philip K Dick is among the most accomplished writers of Science Fiction in history. During his 30 year career he wrote numerous novels and short stories, many of which were adapted for movies and television. I particularly enjoyed thus dystopian short story about an earth where the US and Russian survivors of a nuclear war have moved underground and continued the conflict with androids for eight additional years. While there seems that no end is in sight, some people question the resolve of the androids efforts towards winning the war. Prepare yourself for a great ending!!! Think, Thank, Thunk went the de-liberate Leadys. Think, Thank, Thunk Review of The Defenders by Phillip Rick To Liberate the masses from the opiates of the war politic think, the Lead (er) ys were cybernetically driven to Devine first, then to lastly be by default De-liberators of consensus mass momentum, of group flight to fight. To fight xenophobic others, the identifiable enemies campaigning against steady progress. Enemies of the city, the town, the family, the status quo, the nation state itself. Enemies of "our" way of life. Attacking sacred values by encountering, by endangering, by engaging established traditions with the irrelevant resistance of chaos theory anarchism. The demons of occupation attacking peaceful centralized common sense. Ravaging the studied elite and the youthful centers Like a viral outbreak. To find an oasis of soldierless violent hemispheric classless struggle, the automatons assessed the hierarchical analytic seeds of discontent and found the garden of destruction fruitless. . . . The last great war. Mankind is fighting a great world war. Humans have had to go underground to survive. Robots continue the fight on the first radioactive surface of the world. The fight has gone on for eight years now. This is a great story even if it is a little dated. The war is being fought between the Soviets and America as the cold war goes hot. Man hasn't conquered space at this point (not that we have really either). It is a little predictable. I saw where it was going around the halfway mark. Still it was masterfully executed in the telling. Saying anything else would just lead to spoilers, so let me end by saying read this one. Good read Story is entertaining, but a bit simple. Its a short story so there wasn't a lot of effort spent in writing to engage you with the characters, as real or with real responses / actions. An interesting, thought provoking message comes through at end. Some typos, and some font(?) choices don't come through well on a Kindle Fire. Price says 5 stars no matter what, but thought I'd try to review it realistically.

If you've ever felt a shiver down your spine, as if you were being watched, watch out for the late Damon Knight's "Watching Matthew," where a whole life spreads out in fast forward. Robert Sheckley's "Shoes" is a noirish thriller that gives new meaning to the phrase "down at the heels." In "Presence," Maureen McHugh explores the implications of an experimental and unsettling treatment for Alzheimer's with compassion and courage. "Our Friend Electricity" by Ron Wolfe is a dizzying Coney Island roller coaster ride in time and space. Esther M.

Members Reviews: Great Writing - Mediocre Plots First of all, I do have to say that the writing (merely as a form of art) in this collection is really good. In particular, "Watching Matthew" and "Just Another Cowboy" were very well written - very valuable lessons for how to write effectively. My complaint here is echoed by another reviewer - that the plots really are mediocre in most cases here. For those used to really great Science Fiction ("The Veldt" or "A Sound Like Thunder" by Bradbury, "The Head" by Robert Bloch or "The Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clarke for example), these just don't hold their own. There are exceptions however - "Shoes", while probably the shortest story in the collection, is an excellent story as is "The Boy's Got Talent". Both have pretty decent plots. And even though the plot of "Just Another Cowboy" wasn't stellar, the writing was so good that I caught myself laughing over and over during the read. "Presence" and "Watching Matthew" were both almost a little like reading Stephen King - both were well written, but just didn't really go anywhere. It wasn't that I thought this book wasn't worth it, but more a disappointment that there wasn't more depth to the stories themselves. Also, I would say that those strictly labeled as "Science Fiction" stories were in the minority. My recommendation: Don't necessarily pass over this one, but just be aware that this isn't an anthology of classics. I was glad I'd downloaded it - just wished everything was at the level of the better stories. very disappointing Don't waste your time with this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Time-Enough-at-Last-Audiobook/B002VA9UDK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I love it! I love this short story! It's quick and I really sympathise with the main character. This was the basis for a great Twilight Zone episode. Classic Pretty much the story from The Twilight Zone. Poor Henry just wanted the time to read. Sometimes you get what you want. Great! Very close to the Twilight Zone episode of the same name. Too bad it's only available digitally. I would like to have used it in the classroom. Short & Sweet A wonderfully executed short story about one man's idea of paradise... gained... and then lost. Story that was the basis for a Twilight Zone episodel Very short tale about a man who loves to read great literature. If the title sounds familiar you are aright. It's the story about the character Burgess Meridith portrayed in that memorable yet tragic Twilight Zone episode. I didn't know this was an adaptation of this story until I read it! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Scanners-Live-in-Vain-Audiobook/B002V8HET4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But now a man named Adam Stone has claimed that he has a found a way to travel in the deep of space without the use of the Scanners.

Members Reviews: Great Performance Scanners Live in Vain was published after being rejected as too dark or extreme by several publishers. Times have changed and the nature of the fiction marketplace is such that the notion of this piece being too dark is quaint. The author was a student of Asian methods of storytelling and makes occasional use of alliteration to deliver an enjoyable and engrossing experience that is complemented by the given narration.

Members Reviews: Be ready for some really great views A collection of stories that will take you to many different areas of the genres, some familiar some new. They are told with great skill by both author and narrator. The stories take some views that are new and they were all very entertaining. Highly recommend. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Great stories! Great narration! These were some new original and intriguing stories. I will definitely look for more by this author. My favorite was the last one. Love the idea of that story. Can't give it away so I'll just leave it at that. It was really good! I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator. Decent mix of shorts The narrator was incredible. Like other reviewers, I agree half of the stories were engaging and intriguing, leaving the listener hungry for more. Two seemed to stop abruptly. One was blah. Persephone Rose did well; not allowing one to pre-judge if the tale was gonna be good and fulfilling or drowning in disappointment. I would definitely listen to more by this narrator and I would be hesitant to pick up another book by this author. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Very interesting short stories! Andrew Jayroe has a very vivid imagination. These short stories delve into a little bit of religion, science fiction and possible future scenarios. These stories are graphic and intense. I think my favorite was the one about the future society where abnormalities in children were shunned and not allowed to live. This resulted in some major upheaval in one family with tragic consequences. The reason I liked this story so much is because it not only points to a possible future, but also hearkens back to our past (think Nazi doctrine). I feel Andrew did a great job with such few words. The narration was superb. Right on target with pace, emotional inflection, tone, etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Publicity-Campaign-Audiobook/B01JP9OYNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: CLASSIC Science Fiction Short Stories Remember when science fiction was both scientific AND good fiction? I do. The Golden Age of science fiction can be revisited by reading Allen Whitlock's collection of short stories, and what a treat it is! The title story is the most scientific - the narrator is a scientist, of course, and he shares not only his knowledge of jellyfish but also his experience of how scientists think. The hallmark of classic science fiction was the twist that made you see reality through different eyes, alien eyes, future or past eyes, changing the way you see the "real" world we inhabit. These stories have that perfect blend of humor and philosophy that twists your viewpoint. None were predictable. All were entertaining. One was astonishing. Enjoy! and recommend his work I was immediately reminded of Ray Bradbury's classic tales, while no story was in any way an imitation or derivative of Bradbury. Instead, each story was authentically clever and creative stories, each drawing on a different branch of science, and each doing so authoritatively and interestingly. The science wasn't heavy though, and even the darkest stories shone with wit and wry humor. I would certainly want to read more from Whitlock, and recommend his work. Very enjoyable and thought-provoking collection This collection of stories was wonderful, and provided plenty of variety with content and topic. The only unifying theme was that they were all fairly adult. Beyond that, we have fantasy, science fiction (hard and soft), character studies and cool-concept fiction. The writing is extremely intelligent, yet accessible. Some parts reminded me of the Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child collaborations. Much of the book's feel reminded me of golden-age sci-fi/fantasy stories from magazines like "Asimov's Science Fiction" and "Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction", only with a modern sensibility. The final story (from the book title) was my favorite - I could easily see that being converted into a Michael Crichton-like movie. A very interesting concept and fun storyline. A great collection. My only complaint was that I wanted more! If I Should Die Before It Wakes, and other stories If I Should Die Before It Wakes, and Other Stories.I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories in this book. With good character and plot development, it was easy to get hooked. Allen Whitlock enlists fresh ideas to create unpredictable endings for its audience. With every turn of the page, I was compelled to read on! Great variety of stories From scary to funny to thought provoking a wonderful mix of short stories. I look forward to more writing from Allen Whitlock. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Salvage-Audiobook/B00K538OMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This story is included in Orson Scott Card's collection The Folk of the Fringe. Members Reviews: Losing my faith in Card Card's Mormonism comes out rather explicitly, in this story. Three friends--two rather devout Mormon's in a post-apocalypse where their religion has lost its heart--go on a mission to raid the Salt Lake City temple of the mountains of gold of which legends speak. It's somewhat amusing that the "strong language" of this story is so mild. It's a bit making fun of Mormon's. But that's the only thing in this story I found entertaining. It's just bland. Card is riding on his Mormonism, and when the religion itself isn't satisfying, the stories it inspires sure won't be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Unnatural-Worlds-Audiobook/B00CQ9OV9E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fiction River Unnatural Worlds This is an excellent short story collection. Kris and Dean have collected some stellar examples of short fiction, written by both Big Name authors and relative newcommers. It covers diverse genres in speculative fiction. I recommend this volume for both readers who just want to enjoy great stories, and to writers to help them hone their craft. Dave Stier Great new short story collection Fiction River can be purchased as individual volumes or you can get a subscription. Each volume has story by authors who know their craft. Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith are the editors. If you like short stories or even if you don't give at least one volume a try. I think you will be hooked. A Great Beginning to a New Sci Fi/Fantasy Magazine A solid beginning of the Fiction River format. Very engaging, intelligent plots, and great imaginative speculation. Diversity of the stories needs to migrate out to generally available sci fi themes. Hope some of these stories bloom into novels. Four Stars Stories were wonderful, the introductions that went on forever, were not. a great anthology of short stories Okay, can't give the half-star here, but it's 3 and a half if I do the maths. This anthology was a great read. Glad Dean Wesley Smith and Kris Rusch went back to editing and publishing! 5 stars to: "The grasshopper and my Aunts", "Here, Kitty Kitty", Shadow side. 4 stars to: "Life between dreams", "That lost riddle", "Barbarians". 3 stars to: "Finally family", "Sisters", "Dog Boy Remembers". 2 stars to: "True Calling", "A taste of joie de vivre", "The witch's house" If you like short stories, don't miss it! :) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Barry-Westphal-Crashes-the-Singularity-Audiobook/B002VCD9GM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Since a pilot could not withstand the pressures of deep space flight, a willing sacrifice will need to be made. Kramer's ex-wife, Dolores, remembers an old professor, Professor Thomas, that she and Kramer had attended in college. Professor Thomas is near the end of his lifespan. His mind is still agile, and it is agreed that it is his mind that will go into the rocket. The plan is for the brain to be alive but not conscious inside the rocket. But things don't go as they should as some last minute modification allows Professor Thomas to return to consciousness and fully control the ship. And it's not in the Professor's plans to be a pawn to the Earth's military. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Philip K.

Dick It's always good to return to the classics, and you can always count on classic sci-fi from Philip K. Dick. The concept of linking man with machines is more attainable than it was 64 years ago when this story was first written, and the never-ending search for peace while wars continue to rage is a topic that has been debated for centuries. Mr. Dick put these two themes together and wrote this short piece on what could happen if someone put his mind to it. This is sci-fi as it used to be, with more concentration on ideas and the story. Even though it has been around for years, this tale still stands the test of time. A Neat Science Fiction Story, With A Twist!!!! Phillip K Dick is among the giants in the science fiction writers. However, not many readers of science fiction have heard of him. He is best known for his realistic characters and for placing them into incredibility, strange, dangerous, or paradoxical situations. In this selection the protagonist is trapped in deep space, aboard a ship with a human brain!! It"s a great read for readers of science fiction!!! The germ of a great idea Perhaps several decades ago when Dick wrote this story it was shocking. Today it seems cliche. Philip K Dick has given us this little science fiction tale as an inquiry into war and a hope for second chances. Simply as a narrative this is an engrossing yarn. As a morality tale it is thought provoking. But overall this feels like a good idea that the author didn't do much with. Worth reading, but not one of Dick's best. Blast-Off! Take a brain-controlled spaceship, the brain with a mind of its own, and you have a story that kept me on the edge of my chair right to the end. Clever and thought-provoking tale. Who knew I'd like some science fiction? :-) An unexpected positive short story by one of the bleakest writers of science fiction When I started this short story, I expected it to be a dark story like electric sheep. But it turned out to be a very upbeat story with a wonderful ending. I would suggest this quick read for anyone who is interested in science fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Dream-Archipelago-Audiobook/B009ZI04UO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I expected Picked this one up after being in love with the author's Islanders, as this one features short stories set in the same world. You certainly don't get the sense of mystery and grandeur of the Islands in these stories that you do in the other novels in the same setting. This might be expected due to the short story format, but in reality, the settings don't play as important of a role as the book description would imply. Many of the stories could simply have happened in any setting, they don't really deal with the particulars of the Islands in any meaningful or interesting ways, often just bringing in a superficial piece of flora or fauna to indicate some surrealistic aspect of the places without really doing a great job of world building. The intro piece to the stories mention time vortexes, and temporal distortions that impact the Islands, which really drew me into the book, but this concept is barely touched upon after the intro. Instead it is a few character pieces about people's experiences in various places that, again, don't really make good use of their settings. There is a lot of sex, and while I wasn't personally offended or off put by it's inclusion, I do have to agree that in a couple of the tales it frames the entire story, to the detriment of what could have been a much cooler tale without that bend. The female characters in context of that also come off as predatorily sexual, and unacceptably vengeful for the situations they are in. Possibly due to the poor scope of the stories and the lack of context for the different societies the stories happen in. Mysterious and Other Worldly The Dream Archipelago is a collection of five longish stories plus a short introductory piece which sets the context and describes this strange world and the time vortex which hangs over it. All the stories are set among the islands, a neutral zone amid an ongoing war. It is indeed a strange place where misfortune of one sort or another befalls each of the stories' main characters. There are several war-related themes (the politics of war, artistic expression in wartime, the victimisation of women) but it would be wrong to say that the stories are about war per se. Sexuality is a strong theme running through all the stories, and the tension between the native islanders and the various visitors and expatriates from the warring nations reflect social and interpersonal issues which are as relevant today as when the stories were first published (1978-80). The most interesting story is the final one, 'The Watched', which concerns an unusual tribe of refugees and their uncanny resistance to all attempts to observe their customs and everyday lives. The islands of The Dream Archipelago show up again in Priest's later novel The Affirmation, where they become a surreal alternate reality for the troubled protagonist. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Great-Tome-of-Fantastic-and-Wondrous-Places-Audiobook/B01N32M1AU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fantastic. I hadnât read anything by Pang before reading âA Duet with Darknessâ but once I finished reading it, I added A BRUSH OF DARKNESS, the first book in the Abby Sinclair series, to my want list. I loved the dirty carnival atmosphere Pang created mixed in with the mystical, magical, and sinister in-between world of faeries and Other Folk. It was vaguely reminiscent of Carnivale, the HBO series, just without all the Jesus allegories and set to the tune of Devil Went Down to Georgia. I felt every emotion Melanie had, and her feelings swung wildly in this very short story. I loved how Pang described her world through Melanieâs eyes, highlighting her loves and leaving those things she finds displeasing to be caked in some kind of grime. This little snippet of a story paints an incredibly vivid picture of just what kind of world weâre working with and the kind of characters you can expect to find. Anti-heroes seem to proliferate here. Or maybe just overly human characters whose emotions, like so many others, can turn on a dime and what makes them all too relatable. Melanie was both endearing and off-putting, seeming to go off the rails at the drop of a hat. But all of that emotion had been building and building and building. We just get to see the moment it explodes and the mistakes people can make in irrational moments. I canât wait to read A BRUSH OF DARKNESS and Iâm so glad I read âA Duet with Darkness.â Such an excellent introduction to Pangâs world. 5 I thought this was one of the better entries in "Carniepunk" Again, I thought this was one of the better entries in "Carniepunk". Miss Pang obviously has some knowledge or did quite a bit of research into music history and legend, and that put this entry a cut above some of the others. Good storyline as well - interesting alt universe. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Deodand-Audiobook/B00I3L90AY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another new indie writer to watch I definitely enjoyed this short story where fate plays a strong hand to ensure that the hubris of the corporate and scientific establishment gets what it deserves - for once. The main characters - a widow of a scientist/researcher and his two gifted children - are very engaging and likeable. The children are able to take the lead in many places without their mother having to be hopelessly weak or absent - which bothers me in a lot of young adult themed literature. The bad guy representing the scientific and corporate establishment is very believable - not evil, just conceited and self-serving. The except for the author's trilogy at the end of the book looks even better and I'm off to buy it now. I predict that this will be another indie author (at least I think he's indie since Black Moons Publishing has only published his books) that will be snapped up by a major publisher in the near future - and I just love spotting them early. It's one of the best reasons to own a kindle. Dangerous, exotic predators feast The Darwin Institute will go to extremes to protect Darwin's theory, including covering up research showing that Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was right in his views of evolution rather than the supporters of Darwin. Unfortunately for visitors to the cageless zoo, owned and operated by the Institute, the cover-up blinds them to danger lurking in the zoo. Of course things go wrong (or there wouldn't be much of a story) and people end up really feeding the animals. Quick read This was a very short/quick read (and the ebook is free on Amazon!). The book description is fairly accurate, but in my opinion it doesn't make the danger/adventure that dominates a large portion of the story evident enough. Basically a woman's husband dies leaving her with two kids. She takes them to a cageless zoo where you can get right up close and personal with the "animals". The something happens and the family finds themselves stuck in the middle of this zoo full of dangerous animals that are running amok. The death of the husband actually does play an important role in the story but I don't want to give too much away. I gave this story three stars because it is an interesting enough story line, but I just didn't feel sucked in like I need to be in order to give it a four or a five. Perhaps in part that was because I knew this story was very short and didn't want to get to invested in a story that wasn't going to go very far. Considering it was free though and it was short I liked it enough that I would recommend it to someone who just had a little extra time on their hands *Review re-posted from goodreads.com A delightfulâ gory surprise. A delightfulâ gory surprise. The actual plot was captivating as it brings you into a family dealing with the loss of their father. They go to the virtual zoo owned by the company their father did research for. He had facts to prove something very wrong could and probably would happen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Little-Black-Bag-and-Other-Stories-Audiobook/B005HEEU64 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

M. Kornbluth died an untimely death at age 34, in his short career he managed to write dozens of short stories and a number of novels, often collaborating with other writers. The five stories in this collection are all his own, and show a writer at the height of his powers. In The Little Black Bag (1950), a disgraced physician finds salvation in a high-tech doctors bag that has inadvertently been transported from the future. The Altar at Midnight (1952) explores an unintended consequence of space flight, in which astronauts become physically deformed by their work in space, thus making them outcasts back on Earth. MS Found in a Chinese Fortune Cookie (1957) presents a humorous tale of a writer who finds enlightenment but ends up in an insane asylum. The Adventurer (1953) is a tale of political intrigue, in a future where our republic has become a dynasty for one ruling family. In The Marching Morons (1951), a follow-up to The Little Black Bag, a 20th-century man awakes in a distant future, where intelligence has been mostly bred out of humanity.

Kornbluth) Members Reviews: Familiar favorites, well done. If you are not familiar with C.M. Kornbluth, this is a great collection of his shorter fiction. If you are familiar with his Kornbluth's work, well, this collection holds few surprises. C.M. Kornbluth was a brilliant writer whose output was cut short by his untimely death. Even casual sci-fi fans have probably heard of The Little Black Bag or The Marching Morons (the first and last stories in this collection), and with good reason---they are great stories based on a very clever (and disturbing) idea. The other stories are also all great, but familiar to sci-fi fans. (Of course, the reason a story like "The Adventurer" is familiar is because it is so good---and thus it got reprinted and included in collections like this one.) For the most part, these are not swashbuckling space-opera kinds of stories...really, more about the ways ordinary humans face an extra-ordinary future (or present) world. William Coon's narration was good and well-delivered. Classic Science Fiction What did you love best about The Little Black Bag and Other Stories? It took me back to when I first read the collection when I was barely in my teens. Kornbluth was one of the reasons I fell in love with Science Fiction. Who was your favorite character and why? No favorites, really. The Marching Morons will always be my favorite of the collection because I see some of the same things happening in our societry now. Any additional comments? This is classic science fiction. Kornbluth died way before his time and I can only imagine the quality of work he could have accomplished. title story best i think i like to get these classic scifi when they pop up. I have read the 2 main stories before but wanted to revisit them. Black Bag is best i think and it was basis for a Twilight Zone featuring Burgess Meredith i think, don't quote me on actor, but a very good story. Last one, Marching Morons is also considered a classic but I felt it was ok. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Blue-Tower-Audiobook/B0036GTK9W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P)2009 Jimcin Recordings Members Reviews: Sardonic science fiction story, NOT written by Dick Francis, the horse racing mystery novelist. There are at least 6 of these science fiction short stories out on Amazon which are free and list "Dick Francis" as a co- author. However, if you read them properly...i.e. including the title page or chapter title, you will discover that a Dick Francis was the illustrator of the short story when it appeared first in a science fiction magazine. So it is misleading to include the name Dick Francis as co-author when he was only an illustrator and this version does not include any illustrations at all. And of course illustrator Dick Francis is not and was not mystery writer and ex-jockey Dick Francis. This story is about aliens called Belpins (or belphins...can't remember the exact spelling) who take care of the humans. The belpins do the work, teach the humans, feed them, care for them, leaving the humans free to live a life of ease devoted to art, literature, or just basking in the sun. However, there are anarchists living next door to Ludovick Eversole and he has reported them (the Flockharts) but the belpins are not concerned. They tell Ludovick that they rule by the power of love. Of course, when Ludovick overheard the Flockharts plotting to overthrow the belpins, I suspected what was going to happen and you may also see it too. Still, an enjoyable though predictable sci fi short story so long as you are not disappointed that it has nothing to do with Dick Francis the mystery novelist who died in 2010. Unexpected It may not be fair of me to review this book as I did not read all of it. Also, remember, you get what you pay for; and, this was free to me. Perhaps I did not value it as I should and it is just not my genre'. I have appreciated reading a Dick Francis book every year. I took for granted that there would be another one out for me to read every Christmas break. That is not the case anymore. Felix writes some and I liked the first one he wrote with his father, Dick Francis. In this book, Dick Francis is listed as a co-auther. However, this is SO different than his books, I only got through one chapter. I know you should read two as that is what is usually sent to the publisher intially. Howver, I could not. I am not a science fiction person and that is how this reads. Character development of aliens is not what I like to read. They were trying in the first chapter but my interest waned. Only picked up because of Dick Francis . Mistake! I enjoy good science fiction, but this don't qualify! It is poorly written, poorly conceived, and nothing like I might expect Dick Francis to be involved with. I started it but could not finish. Really a bad product, in my opinion. Blue Tower Review This was not a long story but was an interesting and enjoyable read with a surprising twist at the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Adaptive-Ultimate-Audiobook/B002V1BFL4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Awesome collection Some good stories and an eye opener to some awesome writers out there. I would recommend this as a way to discover your next good read. First one was my favourite. A great read if you are looking for authors whose work you think you will enjoy. I give it 4/5 because it had stories I enjoyed and wanted more of and some I didn't care a lot about. But it served the intention I had for it which was finding authors whose writing style I enjoyed. Five Stars I love it has a lot of things to think about. A great book An great variety of sword and sorcery The Book of Swords is an anthology of sixteen âsword and sorceryâ (or maybe âepicâ) fantasy short stories (novelettes, really) edited by Gardner Dozois. What is âsword and sorceryâ? The genre that consists of stories with swords and magic and kingdoms set in an alternative-kind-of-medieval land. Thatâs pretty much all that the stories of this collection have in common. The book does a terrific job representing the wide variety of styles and types of tales that can be told in that genre. Some are funny. Some are sad. Most of them are violent. Some of the stories are written by hot new writers in the fantasy genre, others are written by seasoned veterans that have been around for decades. Iâll just cut to the chase â you should buy this book if any of the following applies to you: 1) You liked previous books edited by Gardner Dozois and George RR Martin, books like Rogues, Dangerous Women, and Warriors. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Patent-Pending-Audiobook/B01JQRQA8S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Condensed I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I liked the idea of the fight against corruption, spearheaded by the first Martian President, Jane Sterling. I dont quite think that her policies were that great, but the plot was pretty good. It probably would have been better if it had been longer, as the storyline felt quite condensed. great short story I love the story it was short and sweet. " I requested this book and got it for free for my honest review" "Mars need strong women ..." Continuing the story of the development of Mars. The new President starts her term of office with the introduction of new policies to bring prosperity to everyone, but many conservatives think the measures invade and will stop at nothing to reverse them. Written almost as a news record, this is an interesting vision of two opposing ideals. The narration is excellent, fast but clearly delivered, with the voicings of the protagonists, especially those of the women, captured perfectly by Richard Wilson. A must for anyone who heard the earlier Red Planet Trilogy. Continuation of the Trilogy Would you recommend The Red Planet President to your friends? Why or why not? I have a mars junky friend who likes to read anything and everything related to mars. I would recommend this to him. Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided a free copy of this book by the author / narrator / publisher and I'm leaving an unbiased review. I had read "The Red Planet Trilogy" from the same author earlier. I had found that book to be more of a political dram than a sci-fi book. Compared to that one, this novella is definitely better. But since this one has just one short length story, I was left wanting more. Imo, the story could've been fleshed out more. But, if you are looking for a quick read, this book will meet your needs. An examination of human nature I find William Grahams books fascinating. Each one has a different setting but they all make a point about greed, power corrupting and the need for people to stand up for whats right. This book is based on Mars about 100 years in the future when the first government is created and follows the power struggle between that government and the rich families who want to control the future of the planet. Its a fascinating story that delves into a range of different human experiences seen through the eyes and actions of different characters. Im not someone who likes to talk politics but this book still enthralled me. The narration is well done for the most part, occasionally a character voice struck me as a bit strange but this was always a supporting character who didnt have much dialogue. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Transit-Dreams-Audiobook/B00YCOWI3W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Brilliantly narrated, brilliantly written If you could sum up Transit Dreams in three words, what would they be? Awesome short stories What did you like best about this story? Each story is different, you never know what you're going to get but it's always good. The one set during the Cold War was fantastic and nerve-wracking! Have you listened to any of John Feathers other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first time listening to Mr. Feather. I enjoyed his performance very much. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There was this one story, "Red Airwaves" that I liked the best because of how terrifying it was. But all of them are great. Any additional comments? This is a great book! And Mr. Feather's performance was wonderful! All aboard for great short stories Would you listen to Transit Dreams again? Why? Yes I would. This collection of stories is varied and entertaining enough to listen to again and again. What did you like best about this story? The stories are so varied. There's something for everyone. What does John Feather bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Mr. Feather's voice is crisp, clear, and engaging. It shows that he has theatrical training. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. But the stories can be enjoyed in any order, in one sitting or with breaks in between. Any additional comments? This was an enjoyable audiobook. Get aboard! Wonderful short stories! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! This is a collection of varied short stories, all of them wonderful. The book is a grab-bag mix of comedy, horror, and fantasy, like a train chugging along a varied landscape. Who was your favorite character and why? Many of the stories are written in first person, so I would have to say that the narrator is my favorite character. Have you listened to any of John Feathers other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first time listening to John Feather. I can say that his performance was amazing. I enjoyed it a whole lot. He has excellent command of intonation, timing, and character. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The story about the children acting up in the classroom was hilarious. Any additional comments? This is a wonderful audiobook. Bravo to the author and narrator! Your ticket to ride! This is an enjoyable collection of short stories: a Buick that kicks shopping carts into trees; a paranoid hermit on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis; a surreal account of what happens when an army missile base opens up next door to a small neighborhood airport. Each story is different, quirky, and memorable. Mr. Feather's experience as a professional character actor really shines in his narration. He takes a different approach with each short story, running the gamut from easygoing, to tense, to snarky and all stops in between. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Thing-in-the-Forest-Audiobook/B00K7HJYPI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Wilcox Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-14 Publisher: Victor D. Lopez Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: This audiobook is a compilation of 10 science fiction and speculative fiction short stories by the author from his two previous short story collections, Book of Dreams and Book of Dreams, 2nd Edition, as well as two new stories from 2013. Its scope extends from the innermost dimensions of the mind to the outer reaches of the universe, focusing from diverse perspectives on some common themes as to the meaning of life, the superlative strength and wrenching weakness of the human spirit, the power of love and the exquisite pain and ecstasy that flesh is heir to in its perpetual struggle between the duality of human nature that reflected both the divine and the profane. In very broad outline, the 10 stories involve the following themes: If necessity is the mother of invention, could humanity use present technology to find a way to propagate its seed when faced with the certainty of an extinction-level event in less than two years' time? What really caused the catastrophic failure after the first full-scale test of the Large Hadron Collider? Motivated, ingenious terrorists are about to try their own field experiment to replicate the classified results of the test on a large scale using two suitcase nukes and a modified jetliner in an attack that, if successful, will eradicate all life on earth, destroy our corner of the universe and, in time, give birth to a new addition to the multiverse. If we could communicate with the other sentient, intelligent species with whom we share our planet, what vital lessons might we learn from them and they from us? In a not too distant future in which all human beings on Earth are connected and integrated into a single neural net, what price might be exacted for one wishing to opt out? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Victor D.

If we could communicate with the other sentient, intelligent species with whom we share our planet, what vital lessons might we learn from them and they from us? In a not too distant future in which all human beings on Earth are connected and integrated into a single neural net, what price might be exacted for one wishing to opt out? Members Reviews: Science fiction that will make you think If you could sum up Mindscapes in three words, what would they be? Thought provoking stories What other book might you compare Mindscapes to and why? Anthologies are hard to compare. This collection provides a good deal of variety in a unique style. What does Dale M. Wilcox bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The reader has a rich voice and even delivery that helps the stories come alive. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Many. There is humor even in some stories with troubling themes that made me laugh out loud. There is also fear, noble sacrifice, love, hope, despair sometimes all in the same story. Any additional comments? Most of the stories will seem different after a second listen. This is especially true for stories with unexpected endings of which there are a few. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Possessed-Audiobook/B00LADIPSK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A memorable debut. (Financial Times) Members Reviews: Lacks Substance Famine, fire, flood, disease and pestilence, this book has them all. What it doesnât have is any real substance. Itâs like the author just sat down and thought about all the possible scenarios for the breakdown of society and then wrote some tenuously connected short stories and threw them all together and called it a book. Thereâs none of the context and description which make this genre interesting for me. The writing is uninspiring and itâs all very vague and hollow and unrealistic. For example I couldnât buy the fact that the government would employ grief counselors to help people resettle in new locations in the midst of societal breakdown. Iâm baffled by claims that this book is set in Australia as thereâs nothing that anchors it in this or any country in particular. I was looking for some good Australian post-apocalyptic fiction and I was very disappointed. The narrator has the sensibility of a teenage boy and this doesnât change as he gets older (admittedly I only made it to 65%) and humanity in general are portrayed as mindless, materialistic idiots. This one was not for me. Fun and super fresh Fun and super fresh. 100% ORIGINAL. Right on the relevant spotlight and highly current in our global climate. Well written and fast paced with crazy skips and jumps, almost like different short stories looped together forming chapters of a dystopian life story. The story of an opportunistic survivor in a viable "end of the world and i feel fine kinda vibe". Pete's Books Perhaps they should invent a new genre for novels like this? We could call it `Alternate Realities' or maybe `Future Shock'. Either name would do as either would be more accurate than calling this novel a hybrid of `Science Fiction' and `Action/Drama'. I have no choice so I will have to label it the latter. But if we did invent a new genre then it would be in good company with things like The Road by Cormac McCarthy, O-Zone by Paul Theroux and Blade Runner (the film), to give some examples. I think most plot summaries of this text have been somewhat misleading. A series of short stories? I disagree. These are distinct chapters, separated by time and distance, as we follow the narrator's short and difficult life in a vastly changed future, likely post WW III. The connectors between the chapters are there to see, joining most people and events. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Classic-Science-Fiction-Volume-4-Audiobook/B0038DTEO4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is pretty close, Jean Auel would be proud. I love Auel, but don't remember any tribes that built houses out of Mammoth bones. Silverberg does a great job of putting the reader in a prehistoric tribe. It is light hearted and a feel good type story, by the Grand Master of Science Fiction. Narrator and production are good. I like the added music in places. It was not so much that it detracted, but was enough to set the mood. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/This-Crowded-Earth-and-Other-Stories-Audiobook/B002V0QP1U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Author of PSYCHO is a Sci-Fi Master Too I purchased this book knowing nothing of Robert Bloch's work aside from the classic Hitchcock film, Psycho. Saying that I was pleasantly surprised would be a gigantic understatement. His talent in the field of science fiction is unbelievable. After doing some research on Bloch in my spare time after listening to this audiobook, I discovered that the majority of Bloch's writing WAS sci-fi. It's strange that he isn't grouped in with the forefathers of classic science fiction considering the amount of work he contributed in the early years of the genre. Grab this title if you're a fan of Asimov, Sheckley, Ellison, Bradbury, PKD, or any other of the classic sci-fi masters. 8.98 / 10.00 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Forsaken-Audiobook/B06XB454FB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A quick, fast-paced listen This is a short one. It's only 14 minutes long, but about half of that is literally this one vagrant princess just... slaying. So, it's short but it was quite an enjoyable 14 minutes of my time. Quite a fast paced, bloody, and action-packed 14 minutes that introduced one Ayla, princess of... Echor? Ichor? Which is a kingdom far away. My one criticism here is that this would have benefited about 100% from having a female narrator. The narrator himself was... okay. Just okay. Not my favorite, but there wasn't anything about him that was glaringly unlikable. But... since we have this badass AF lady, it would have been nice to have a badass AF lady telling me the story too. Also, I was given a free copy of this audiobook by the author in exchange for an honest review. FYI :) I Liked It What did you like best about Forsaken? What did you like least? I received a promo copy of this for review purposes. I had never heard of this author before but was interested in listening to it. I was unsure where the author was going, but wound up enjoying it in the end. I will be looking for further installments in the future. I can't say too much good about the narrator. There seemed to be no real difference in any of the character voices. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The way it ended. The narrator. How did the narrator detract from the book? His voice seemed kind of boring. Do you think Forsaken needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes. A sequel would be nice. It was definitely left open-ended. Any additional comments? No. Story is Excellent, Narrator is Painful Is there anything you would change about this book? I thought it was well written. Who was your favorite character and why? I liked the protagonist. She is capable, takes no crap and knows what she wants. I don't want to butcher her name, but the whole story is about her, so it should be obvious who she is. What didnt you like about Charlie Boswells performance? Everything, I really despised his reading of this story. I would like to change the narrator out for someone who doesn't read as if someone keeps poking them in the arse at the end of each sentence. He doesn't put any real emotion into the story, and he doesn't use voices to distinguish characters. The problem with the latter is there are places with no speech tags, so it's hard to tell who is speaking without stopping, rewinding and listening again if you missed it the first time. Could you see Forsaken being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Maybe a Youtube series, sort of like The Guild, except way more bloody. :D Any additional comments? Without the current narrator and assuming someone else stepped in who did the story justice, I think this short story would receive a full five stars. Currently, the story is five stars, and the narration is a very generous two stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/I-Am-Graalnak-of-the-Vroon-Empire-Destroyer-of-Galaxies-Supreme-Overlord-of-the-Planet-Earth-Ask-Me-Anything-Audiobook/B01MR89MWN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I like zombie books I like listening to K. Anderson Yancy short stories, the sound effects are amazing lol. "I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com Love this story a lot. Any additional comments? Love K. Anderson Yancy and his SonicMovies. "This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com." Interesting concept. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This was a short story. But at first it took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on. You can say that it went over my head at first. I realize it was about a relationship and the emotional turmoils that occur during a breakup. Some others may like this type of story moreso. but for me while interesting in its concept - it just wasn't my favorite type. I do think the narrator did a good job, and the background effects were very good. I have to recommend listening to this at home/somewhere quiet vs outside where other background noises can distract you away from the story. Any additional comments? This audiobook was given to my by the author for free in return for an honest review Fury of a Woman Scorned Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I don't believe I would, despite the fact that I myself enjoyed it a fair bit just because of the length involved. If they had an opportunity to hear it without buying it I would certainly recommend that but it seems more like a tech demo than a story. The little story that is there however is enough to hold it together. If youve listened to books by K. Anderson Yancy before, how does this one compare? This is the worst I've heard from him, but still qualifies as pretty darn good for entertainment value. Like I alluded to in the previous question I think that the stories were a little thin but I still give them major props on production. What about the narratorss performance did you like? Just the amount of tension that he has in everything he says and the way that it seems to belong with the sound effects and everything going on around it. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Fury of Women Scorned Any additional comments? I got this for free in exchange for an honest review. The sonic movie idea is awesome and well done in this case but I feel the story itself could've been beefed up a little. The other one's I've heard have been great. I recommend this, but I recommend the rest of their catalog more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Howl-Audiobook/B00ZIW9ZU6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Would be a great base for a full lenght novel! 3.5/5 stars This novella is set in the fictional land of Aradmore and tells the story of a society formed after years of drought gave a group of wealthy men - the Titans - the opportunity to take over and oppress the rest of the people, who were already struggling to make ends meet. They bought up all the land and are controlling everything; food supplies , business, employment, politics, law, The Titans and their associates live in big, walled cities, while the rest of the people live in reservations completely controlled by the Titans. Theyre not allowed to move freely and have to work for the Titans. The story follows James, Helena and their 3 children, who dream of a better life in the so-called Greenfields district. Nobody knows if this place, a supposedly free and independent society, really exists, but James and Helena are willing to take a chance The world building in this novella is very well done, the author gives an elaborate explanation of the way this society works and describes how politics, law, employment, are organized. Its an interesting concept and I think it would be a great base for a full length novel. This would not only allow the author to further elaborate on the Aradmore world, but also give him the opportunity to focus more on the development of the characters in the story, which I missed a bit in the novella, due to its short length. It would also give him the chance to continue the story at the point the novella actually ends, as I think it would be a nice addition to the story. Overall: very interesting story, but too short to come to its full potential. I listened to the audiobook version, narrated by Michael Gilboe (length 1h14). The narration was well done, although the pace was quite fast, Id preferred it to be a bit slower, but the fact that English isnt my native language might have something to do with that. The author provided me with a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed are my own. An Interesting Dystopia Any additional comments? What I found interesting in this book was the look at how food shortages cause wretchedness and desperation. Other futuristic novels (like 1984) emphasize the loss of liberty in a totalitarian regime, but it is the food shortages that are felt most keenly and that destroy all quality of life. The characters are depicted with wry, satirical humor that makes this story an entertaining listen. It moves along nicely with many different settings. The narrator is excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dead-Mans-Bottles-Audiobook/B00L89U354 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 2158 A.D., Alden Village, New York City, Connecticut... "If it was good enough for your grandfather, forget it ... it is much too good for anyone else!" So begins Kurt Vonnegut's short storyThe Big Trip Up Yonder, a tale set in 2158 A.D. Gramps Ford and his rather large family are all cooped together in their rundown home at "Building 257 of Alden Village, New York City, Connecticut," and Gramps is regularly cutting members of his family who misbehave out of his last will and testament. While he and his substantial family are watching their five-foot TV screen, Gramps Ford has issued his prophetic warning shot across the bow: "Silence!" cried Gramps. "Next one shoots off his big bazoo while the TV's on is gonna find hisself cut off without a dollar--" his voice suddenly softened and sweetened--"when they wave that checkered flag at the Indianapolis Speedway, and old Gramps gets ready for the Big Trip Up Yonder." The drug called anti-gerasone had been discovered, a blend of dandelions and mud that halts the aging process, and it allows people to unnaturally control when death from old age occurs. As a result, America suffers from a severe case of over-population, which has led to shortages of many things we take for granted, including gasoline, metals, and most importantly, food. Gramps had already reached 70 when anti-gerasone had been invented, and had not aged a day in the 102 years that followed. And Gramps has just written his grandson Lou out of his will, substituting Willy, Lou's father, substituting his son "as heir to the apartment, and the biggest plum of all, the double bed in the private bedroom." One family member, Morty takes matters into his own hands and pours half of Gramps' anti-gerasone drug down the drain. Lou catches Morty and proceeds to fill the bottle up again. There's a series of unfortunate events, the bottle cracks and Gramps, believing Lou was trying to kill him, flees the home. Complete chaos ensues, and... you'll just have to read this short Kindle freebie to see what happens next. Is this Vonnegut's best work? Absolutely not: in this reader's opinion, you'll have to read the author'sSlaughterhouse Fiveto get that. But it's a good early work that actually dates back to the '50s, when it was originally published in the Galaxy science fiction magazine. kurt, yup. a good short one when you do not have a lot of time. A lot of kurt in just a few pages. Confused It was a great, short read, but I feel like it's lacking in clarity as to the overall "point" or meaning. This is a short story from early in Kurt Vonnegut's ... This is a short story from early in Kurt Vonnegut's career. It's not really up to the standards of his later work. Short, sweet and to the future. This is the second KV story I have read, the first being 2 b r 0 2 b, and I enjoyed this one much more. It was comical and, again, a unique view of futuristic living. Eddie being my favorite character. Vonnegut seems to really have believed that seaweed is the future of casual cuisine. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Geek-of-Legend-Audiobook/B00IT62JTC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Taming of the "ScrewDriver" Taming of the "Screw" In Geek of Legend: The Elvish Screwdriver, by Geekus Maximus, Robert Stanton is in a job interview for a computer technician position. With a wife and baby on the way, Robert lies and claims he was downsized because of economic reasons. Max Thomas, interviewer and medieval weapons collector, knows the real reason Robert was fired. After Robert learns the last employee in the position was killed in the line of computer technician duty, Robert agrees to complete one job on a trial basis. Max insists it's a fairly easy job. After mounting a horse for "house call" rather than a company car, Robert knows this is not going to be an easy job. In return for being called Sam and not horsey or buddy, Sam will call his reluctant passenger Robert, rather than human or dumb gluteus maximus. The Elvish Screwdriver is a wonderful short read. If J. R. R. Tolkien had incorporated computer woes in Lord of the Rings, then the Elvish Screwdriver would have been the subject of an important quest. Follow Robert's adventures as he puts a new twist on troubleshooting and problem solving in this entertaining short work. Tech help in an enchanted land This is a very clever and entertaining novella about a gentleman who applied for a computer tech job and ended up in a fantasyland filled with dwarves and elves and other mystical creatures. Filled with great humor. I hope this author has more adventures coming. Charming juxtaposition of unlikely themes Having recently co- edited two books of critical essays on the vampire, with a third collection on fairies and other supernaturals in the works, I found the juxtaposition of fantasy and computerdom in this short story utterly charming. I will read more of Geekus Maximus's creations. Geek of Legend On his very first job he was sent for a left handed monkey wrench. That pretty much describes his working conditions. He had to check reality at the door as he explored his new job. Not exactly an office position. The address of his first service job? Somewhere deep in myths and legends... So, when is the next one coming out. I'm an IT wizard myself and found this book Fascinating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Vampire-Rain-and-Other-Stories-Audiobook/B00BY7MN1C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The first one is The Night Knows Me Well. This short story is about a vampire who is just tired of his long, deadly life. The second story is They Came From the Sea. There are very interesting things happening in Clyde Goodbooks' pool. The third story Merlin's Tomb is about two children who meet another young boy in Merlin's tomb. The bonus short story was bloody and a ball, a masquerade ball to be exact. I love J.R. Rain. All of his books have are deep in character and very well written. His characters are intelligent, quick witted and often humorous. His Vampire for Hire and Jim Knighthorse books are a very good example of this. I recommend this book of short stories and all of the other books he has written. Great Stories Nobody does vampires like J. R. Rain. He has such a way with words. I usually don't care for long paragraphs of description, but there is just something about the way Rain does it that makes it all seem to flow with ease. Merlin's Tomb is included in this book also. This is the first screenplay I have ever read and found it very easy to follow; plus, it was a really good story, lots of action and a great ending. This includes a nice variety of stories and all are great. Easy, quick reads, and I read the book in one short sitting. I am never disappointed with J.R. Rain's books! Vampire Rain and other stories Just like the full stories, I really enjoyed reading these sort stories. It makes the lead lady look so much like someone that may be living next door to me. a great collection of paranormal stories Remember that horrible movie back in the day which detailed a variety of horror stories based on a comic book ~ Creepshow? JR Rain's short stories in this novel would have made an amazing movie in comparison! A vampire with a conscience, a successful gentleman who has visitors from the sea "mate" in his private pool, and a bizarre and creative tale of Merlin all make for a great read - thank you for the ride!! Highly recommend:) Love the Rain j.r. is great about weaving scenerios that you dont see coming. very original story lines and fast paced. love how he always has books coming out. dont have to wait six months to a year for another great book!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Or-All-the-Seas-with-Oysters-Audiobook/B009HA24EO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Gene Wolfe) Members Reviews: Terrific Author, Wrong Narrator Would you listen to Or All the Seas with Oysters again? Why? I love Avram Davidson. I've been a great fan forever. His work is subtle, engaging, interesting, and mind stretching. Unfortunately, Mr. Marlar's interpretation is better suited to a Noir Thriller or a Western than to such an erudite author. The consistent mispronouncing of the word virulent as vai RUH lunt made want to weep. I stopped listening after that story. It was a little like watching someone you love being mugged. What other book might you compare Or All the Seas with Oysters to and why? The Adventures of Dr. Esterhazy is a consistent delight. I found Ursus of Ultima Thule to be a bit brutal way back when it first came out, so haven't listened to that one. Tim Power's work strikes me as equally brilliant, although he doesn't have many short stories on audible. Always love James P. Blaylock's stuff. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Darren Marlar? I found Robert Blumenthal's narration of The Adventures of Dr. Esterhazy to be excellent, and without reproach. He had a masterful command of the material and didn't mispronounce any of the words. I also would like to hear Bronson Pinchot have a run at this material. I find his vocal interpretations to be as nuanced and subtle as this writing requires. Cerebral, yet engaging What made the experience of listening to Or All the Seas with Oysters the most enjoyable? I love the fact that this is a collection of short stories. I was able to listen to a single chapter, which was an entire story in itself. Every new chapter was a completely new experience and storyline with different characters. For those of us with short attention spans, this was perfect! What did you like best about this story? Avram Davidson really makes you pay attention. Definitely not a background-noise type of listen... you must be engaged at all times! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, which is why I enjoyed I loved that it was several short stories. I could go several days or weeks between chapters and not have to worry about remember what had happened previously. Each chapter was a completely different sci-fi story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Classic-Science-Fiction-Volume-1-Audiobook/B002ZEZQD0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narration is horrible. Who was your favorite character and why? This isn't applicable since this is a short story collection. What didnt you like about Stephen F. Clarks performance? I didn't like anything about his performance. He has no feel for the material. I doubt that he even likes science fiction. These are classic stories and deserve to be treated with the appropriate amount of respect. Instead the narrator reads with about as much involvement as one would expect for a book of cake recipes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Clean-Escape-Audiobook/B002V8MH5U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "The production of this particular book makes it easy to listen to." (Science Fiction Age) Members Reviews: Finally... Stephen Baxter, in my opinion, is the most gifted and most entertaining science fiction writer out there. He takes your mind to locations, times, and possibilities that you would have never imagine. And more importantly, he makes it fun to be there. Cilia of Gold is a book that the talent involved had fun making as well. The production and narration were entertaining and appropriate. Where else can you learn that it snows in Mercury and want to know more... Audible, if you are reading, please add more talent like Baxter to your science fiction selections (and Peter Hamilton, Gregory Benford, David Brin...) A Very Moving Story Though Ultimately Quite Sad I had never listened to a short story before, so I did not know whether the format would work as an audio book. I was captured almost immediately, and found myself surprisingly sad when it ended: the author intended (I think) for it to be an up-beat ending, but I could not see it that way. Very moving, ultimately very sad. A great story that stays with you for years. Great Short Story about worlds colliding A great short story set on Mercury. I like the premise it uses for first contact, and the telling of two stories and their intersection. We have no idea what life exists where. The flipping between two worlds existing at the same place. I think this short story could be expanded into a more complex novel with ease. I will be looking for more Baxter stories, short and novel length. Outstanding Gem A classic Baxter story from an author that has far to little audio coverage. Specially his book of destination novels. If like a cross between Robert Heinlein and Ian Banks than this is just the stuff to go for. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Dry-Quiet-War-Audiobook/B002V1LZB4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The audiobook is well worth the money, but at times the narrator does a poor job conveying emotion without going a little over the top, which tends to distract from the story. Ok, but rather short. Is there anything you would change about this book? I knew it was going to be short but once you got into it, you're thinking, oh crud, it's going to be too short. Unique concept, reminded me of The Forever War for some reason. I wouldn't change anything, just draw out the idea more, let us see the war. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Read above. Which character as performed by Jared Doreck was your favorite? didn't have one Did A Dry, Quiet War inspire you to do anything? That's an odd question. Any additional comments? Ok overall, but it's short, be ready for that. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Coming-Attraction-Audiobook/B002V1NQ34 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Although this short story is in fact well written and well read, the story itself was nothing more than a string of metaphors of future possibilities with no real direction, plot or even any plausible point or meaning that can leave one going "Hmmmm!". In essence, I simply did not get much out of this short journey, up to and including entertained, I'm afraid. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Language-of-Moths-Audiobook/B002V0JTCM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was in one of Asimov's magazines in 2006 and then included in Rich Horton's SCIENCE FICTION, THE BEST OF THE YEAR 2007 Edition. THE WRECKER The story takes place on a space station and is in the far future. There are two million people on the space station with different religions and different ways of living and looking at life. The main character is very religious and looks at most of the people outside his guild as heathens. He feels they are influenced by The Wrecker (Satan), they do not follow THE MANUEL (bible). THE MASTER BUILDER is God. The character is forced into parts of the space station to work and make money for his guild. The OUTSIDERS have changed their bodies by adding extra parts, or less parts, or hands for feet, etc. One guy has skin that is either blue or green according on the occasion. DEVOTIONS The story is very well written, different and takes place in space. I hunger for science fiction that takes place in space, but not Military Science Fiction. This story kind of reminds me of Remoras, by Robert Reed. The narrator is the author. He is not bad, just not professional. He does not ruin the story, just does not help it. I'm inclined to like this story very much. An interesting story set in a future world, deftly revealed through the eyes of the young, first person protagonist. We follow his emergence from the protective shell of his religious upbringing into the wider world of a space station of some kind, populated with all manner of interesting characters, and on through his growth in awareness of what exactly he has been sheltered from, and finally on to a satisfying conclusion. The production quality was quite good as well, with short refrains of mood music separating the chapters. Important As humans continue to progress in knowledge, we will continue to stumble over culture. In a way, this story is a tragedy, echoing current conditions despite amazing scientific advances, but here we are enjoying a piece of literature, but also endowing upon ourselves the power of prophecy; we need not repeat history. The author integrates actual religious practice in another time and place, and also encourages us to ask questions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Island-of-Dr-Morose-Audiobook/B073WGGVMT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The science is stranger than fiction Short story collections can often be uneven, and in some ways this was a really high variance one. Short stories also tend to throw me off sometimes because with each new story there is a different set of characters and universe to be imagined, and this collection was way too wide for me to keep pace. I did like a couple of the actual stories, but what,i truly enjoyed were the afterwords. I was familiar with some of the science but a fair bit of this was new to me. I would recommend this to any science enthusiast but warn that I found it a long read mainly due to constantly shifting focus https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Road-to-Hell-Is-Paved-with-Zombies-Audiobook/B06X3RVMVZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narrator sounds like she is in a hole and just doesn't sound very professionally done. I just did not enjoy the book due to this. I think if the narration was redone and sounded more professional it could be a good book but not sure. The current narration was a distraction from the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wild-and-Wishful-Dark-and-Dreaming-Audiobook/B01MQ1ZS6O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Wild and Wishful, Dark and Dreaming Review Book Review Title: Wild & Wishful, Dark & Dreaming Author: Alethea Kontis Genre: Short Story Collection/Poetry Rating: **** Review: The opening story in this collection 183 Million Light Years from Home was great. I really enjoyed this story although I felt this story wasn't exciting enough to open the collection but it was a decent start. We meet Allen Cooper driving home from a work meeting in the early hours of the morning while contemplating his life and his wife's pregnancy he tries to overtake a truck in front of him that has its left blinker stuck on but the truck mirrors and blocks every maneuver he tries to make. We also meet Captain Yerin who seems to be part of an alien race looking to take over Earth and eradicate the humans from it. This mysterious are on the verge of killing the humans when the scout carrying their beacons sending stops transmitting at the exact same moment Allen shoots out a tire on the truck in front of him which subsequently explodes. This seemingly innocent sequence of events lead the aliens to abort their mission and although Allen is guilty about the "person" he possible killed, he inadvertently saved the whole world. Blood, Sweat, and Tears was amazing, it was dark, twisted and filled with so many emotions. I felt this story should have opened the collection as I found it far more gripping than 183 Million Light Years from Home. We meet Angelica Monroe whose real name is Lois Lane (ironic), she is an author who started writing to support her family but after her husband died she sent her son to boarding school and disappeared. Angelica gets sick so she asks her best friend Desi to write for her using her secret weapon that made all her books bestsellers; her own blood, sweat and tears. Desi writes under Angelica's name for months before Angelica disappears back into her own world leaving Desi in the shadows but she continues to write not even stopping to wash or eat. Angelica is paranoid for the dark magic she has been using and she sees Desi as her enemy even using a doll infused with magic to blind her from the truth but when Desi finds the doll and Angelica refuses to see sense Desi use the same magic to help Angelic see which leads to a horrific turn of events. Foiled was a great short story, it was only a few pages long but we meet Allie who comes from the blood of the Old World, which I interpreted as a form of voodoo meaning Allie can cast curses. She then uses this curse to kill a man whom she had dated. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Times-Arrow-Audiobook/B01K0KKHKM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Don't understand the title of this book in comparison to the story. This story seems to be about mermaids and mermen living under the sea and how ones life changes with in instant because of one decision. Although I did enjoy the story. It also makes you realize our decisions will always change the future of our children. I received this free of charge for an honest review. Be careful what you wish for! Where does Moon Dust rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 50 percent. It was a good short story. Who was your favorite character and why? Nilafay of course. The story centers around her life and the trouble she gets into. It was sad to see her innocence taken away. What aspect of Karen Rose Richters performance would you have changed? The story was well thought out and imagined. We must remember though, that this is the type of story that can anger the reader. I am a father to a daughter, so the whole imagining of the main character losing their innocence provokes strong emotions. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Every decision made in life can affect the future! Any additional comments? I did enjoy listening to the story and it did provoke strong emotions! I received this Audiobook for free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for a unbiased review. Thanks! Ok Any additional comments? This was an interesting story about a naive young sualwet ocean dweller.Nilafay is kidnapped and endures mistreatment by the sualwets enemies.She struggles to endure and make a life for herself.I really didn't like how naive Nilafay was.The narrator used a whiney voice to portray her which I found incredibly irritating.I received an audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review. Moody, evocative, beautiful and horrifying We start the story with happy, almost dreamlike sequences of young mermaid Nilafay reflecting on her love and upcoming nuptials. She can't be more than a teenager, and her life is sweet, even though she feels it chafes her... Then she ventures out somewhere she shouldn't. She's captured. Things are done to her. Things that happen to captured enemy spies in movies and TV series. Cold-blooded calculating people, trying to use her for their ends. Nilafay's innocence is gone. What will take its place? This is a prequel to a story I haven't read, but that didn't matter. It is a strong story on its own. The author's world-building is wonderful. I especially like the idea of merpeople not having any hair. It has logic. They wouldn't need it underwater. If you like the poetry of the sea and the sky above it, you'll like Nilafay's world for sure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Undead-Reborn-Audiobook/B019248RUY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Undead Reborn Author: L. Scott Lincoln Narrator: Bryan L. Anderson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-15 Publisher: L. Scott Lincoln Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Zombies, it seemed, were due a renaissance. And interestingly, we wanted to reclaim zombie fiction from the 10-a-penny "zombie apocalypse" narrative which seems to have infected the genre over the past few years. A rebirth, if you will. In steps newcomer L. Scott Lincoln to provide just that; He wanted us to answer that telling question: "Where have all the good zombies gone?" Although there is a coherent theme, each of the stories is unique. They are tales of the unexpected; stories which think outside the coffin. This is fiction that bites. It clamps its sharp teeth into you and carries on chewing at your flesh. Sometimes searingly visceral, sometimes comic, sometimes horrific, it is like turning your neck to look at a car crash, and then continuing to look at that wreck in every detail.

This set of short stories has a few real gems. All of the stories are decent except for the first and the fourth which are just plain bad. Story 2 and story 3 are quite good. If youve listened to books by L. Scott Lincoln before, how does this one compare? This is the first book by L. Scott Lincoln that I've listened to, however, this book is by many authors. What about Bryan L. Andersons performance did you like? He is pretty good and gave a satisfying performance. Was The Undead Reborn worth the listening time? Yes, a few of the stories are exceptional. It is hard to find good zombie stories. Any additional comments? I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. Just ok It's not fair really for me to give a zombie book a review. However I try to stay very open minded in these cases. There have been many zombie books I have actually fell in love with, and this wasn't one of them! This story wasn't anything to write home about. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. A collection of undead tales Would you consider the audio edition of The Undead Reborn to be better than the print version? I am not sure since I did not read the print version. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Undead Reborn? I really enjoyed the story about the blind woman in the attic. What about Bryan L. Andersons performance did you like? I feel he has a good tone and inflection. He definitely makes the stories entertaining/ If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Tales of the Undead Any additional comments? "This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast." Unsteady Cluster of the Undead Would you try another book from L. Scott Lincoln and/or Bryan L. Anderson? I can't critique L. Scott Lincoln as this is a collection of stories by other authors. The selection is varied in style and quality. Bryan L. Anderson does a solid job of narration. Any additional comments? This is an uneven collection of zombie related stories. Some are good, some are interesting and some I didn't care for. Overall it is a decent collection even though trudging over a well worn subject. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Postcards-from-the-Moon-A-Short-Story-Audiobook/B00XD384YU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lacks only a forwarding address -- GREAT story This is a literal love letter to a lost future, full of finely wrought nostalgia and such a sense of wonder that it may well buoy your spirit for the rest of the day. The images and possibilities within are going to populate many a delightful dream. I canât wait for the movie Tomorrowland, but I hardly need to â this short story offers all that I could expect out of that film and more. The ONLY thing wrong with the story is that it did not come with a forwarding address to where I could write Papa Hank back. Because I would send that letter and go TODAY if I could! I'll just have to assuage my disappointment by shopping for more fiction from Jeff Edwards! United Space Corps??? Different. A short story with an odd twist. Its cheap so give it a read. It isn't anything like Mr. Edward's other books and makes a great springboard for a longer novel in this subject Speaks to dreams of our youth! A wonderful story line that begs for expansion! A full novel? A series? This could launch in either direction and I for one, would jump on it!! Five Stars Excellent story. Makes me wish I could sign up to serve. Four Stars good short story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Flashes-of-Fiction-Volume-1-Audiobook/B00T3FVAW0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

METRO DOME: Scotty loves to hear Pop-Pop tell stories about what it was like when he was a boy - back when people lived in houses and before everyone lived in the dome. And Grandpa is more than willing to share his memories: tales of lakes and fishing, bees and butterflies, grass and trees..... Grandma thinks Grandpa should stop filling the boy's mind with such things, but Grandpa knows better. He is wise enough to know we all need hope..... Delightful little story! VIRAL SMILES: Another nice little read, although I am not quite certain "nice" is the correct term. The idea is that a smile is contagious (as per the article read by the narrator of the story). She spends the entire day trying to prove this theory, but things don't work out quite the way she had expected. Perhaps "humorous" would be a better description. But keep trying. Sooner or later SOMEone is bound to return that smile...... OPERATION ONION: HYSTERICAL!!! (And I just raised it from 3 to 5 stars!) Seriously: I was laughing so hard I finally gave up. Went into the other room and read it aloud to my husband. This one alone would have been enough, but so far I have liked them all! Samuel Clemens was born with a problem. Because of that problem his Mom gave him the nickname Stinker. Seems that even at birth he could not hide his feelings: he smelled differently depending upon his mood. Made for some unbelievably funny stories (for the reader), and a very difficult life for Samuel. Can you just imagine trying to get through school or find a job with such a problem? The ending to this story was great! Would not have thought of that in a million years, but it was the perfect solution! Way to go Stinker! Glad it finally worked out for you! SHANNON ELIZABETH RILEY: The narrator is home alone on a Friday evening (hubby out of town on business) during a thunderstorm. Opening the door so she could make sure her car windows were up, she noticed a girl wandering outside soaking wet. When she calls out to ask if the girl is lost, the girl comes to the door. Coming in for hot cocoa and cookies (and a towel to help dry her), the girl gives the woman her name and tells her where she lives. Shannon said she was camping at the lake with her friends; but when she woke up, they had left her alone. Now she needs someone to help her get home. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Science-Is-Magic-Spelled-Backwards-and-Other-Stories-Audiobook/B00MOZ04BO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Editor Doesn't Deserve Your 99 Cents This story is in the public domain in many countries other than the US, which is why Charles Moffat mistakenly believes it's legal for him to sell it in this way, despite the fact that it's still under US copyright and the character of Conan is still trademarked. But, the legality of this unauthorized bootleg edition of the story aside, its international copyright status means that if you type the words "Gwahlur Gutenberg" into Google it'll immediately pull of the story on Project Gutenberg Australia's website, where you may read it free of charge. Based on the free sample provided, Moffat's editing has added absolutely nothing of any value to that original text other than his own name, some cover art that appears to be used illegally as well, and a price tag. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Perfect-Woman-Audiobook/B00HNCL2IW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great - But Hard To Justify The Price Any additional comments? This is a charming little story by one of the masters of sci-fi, Robert Sheckley. It is only about eight and a half minutes, so it is hard to justify paying around five dollars for such a short listen. BUT - if you're a fan of Sheckley, as I am, I see little problem shelling out a little extra for such quality. 8.58 / 10.00 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rebels-and-Tyrants-Tales-of-the-Fifth-Age-Audiobook/B00AVZA400 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars great writing It's good It's good New anthology in Dragonlance world. You'll know that going on in the world after folling of the Gods. As the land of Krynn groans beneath the rule of mighty dragon overlords, small bands of rebels spring up to battle the new oppressors. From the streets of Palanthas to the Plains of Dust, from the frozen reaches of Ergoth to the swirling waters of the Blood Sea, here are tales to stir the heart and the imagination. Here is shot stories that I like more than long series about endless saving of the world. great collection of short stories I liked this book of short stories in the 5th age of krynn. My favorite stories are Freedom's Pride,Sargas's night of revenge,Sharing the luck,Lost Causes,Blood Ties,Shard's Memory,Tactics, and Raid on the Academy of Sorcery. If you like Dragonlance and the world of Krynn then you will like this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pageant-Wagon-Audiobook/B00K538VBC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was intrigued by it but I believe that I would've enjoyed it a lot more if it had been extended into a full length book. It has potential and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the plot bunny that inspired this will make another trip to her consciousness.

This is The Story Circle's collection of some of their spine-chilling tales told by award-winning actors. Stories Include: Members Reviews: Mostly a good collection of stories While some of the stories in this anthology are extremely well written, others are not. Sadly, the first story is just such one firmly in the not category. An obvious poorly executed retelling of Dracula (poorly handled with a slight Indian twist), the story sours the listener right as the book begins. Other stories, such as the one by E.H. Heron, go a long way to make up for the few poor ones. To be fair, i purchased this book while it was on sale, and for the small amount of money I spent (it wasn't worth wasting a credit on due to the slight cost), I got what I paid for, so to speak. If it again is on sale, Vampire fans may wish to pick it up to see how early twentieth century writers dealt with the rise in popularity of Vampires after Dracula. However, if you want a really good Vampire story, once that is vastly superior to Dracula (and preceded it) get J.Sheridan La Fanu's excellent Carmilla. views on an enduring myth I will state right here that vampires are not my thing. They are nothing more than an enduring myth perpetrated by clever authors trying to keep over zealous censors happy during an age of melodrama when writing was purely for the apparently sensitive middle and upper class women and the idle rich to boot. Much the same thing really. They are therefore, essentially love stories with heavily hinted at sex. Hence the vampire and love bites and all the rest of it. This book however was purchased for shred listening and so I endured it for the sake of someboy who is in to that sort of thing. Performances in this book were melodramatic but good. Naration was, in the main, excellent. No slurring of word and not the slightest hint of boredom. The stories were excessively romantic especially the one by Mary Braddon but that was the intention of the vampire and therefore the author. If you like books that suspenc belief you might like this collection. If you're in to myths then give it a go. It is fairly short with only eight stories and can be taken in bite sized chunks. My only criticism was that the performance or rather the editing put the stories too close together so it was difficult to pause the recording without the next one starting. A very minor detail and not one to put people off I think. Midnight Terror Bites Again What did you like best about Midnight Terror: Classic Tales of Vampires? What did you like least? You can not beat a good old fashioned horror story written during the Victorian era. Victorians loved to spook themselves, what with the candle lit shadows on the gory papared walls and with no TV or Radio to break the peaceful silence of a ticking clock each night giving them the perfect back drop for spooky feelings plus the style of heavy dark creepy bussled clothes they wore. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Forgetting-Wood-Audiobook/B003WHA6EI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Couldn't Finish It I know that this doesn't bug everyone, but the lazy-sounding, tongue-knotted attempt at American accents by English narrator Nicky Henson were an enormous turn-off. Why not just read the book and not try to act it, especially if you don't have the acting chops to pull off the common accent you're trying for? If the publisher really needed an American accent, they should have gone with an American narrator. I found the narration highly annoying and can't go back to this (unfinished) book. The stories themselves held much promise. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Martian-Odyssey-Audiobook/B002V0A5L6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Science Fiction Writers of America) Members Reviews: A classic story remade into sterling audio drama I actually bought this wonderful adaptation on audio cassette when it first came out; and while I'm happy to still have a working Walkman to enjoy it, I'm happy it's available as an MP3 as well. Even though the story was written in the early 1930s, it remains a classic of the science-fiction genre -- the first story to feature a genuine alien, rather than a human being dressed up in a bad costume (so to speak) & acting from familiar human motivations, it remains a gripping & moving tale some 80 years later. Tweel is not only science fiction's first real alien, with his own reasons for existing, he remains one of its most memorable & endearing aliens as well. The audio adaptation itself gets everything just right & works beautifully as radio drama. The writers have incorporated newer information about Mars seamlessly, adding to but in no way changing the narrative. It's still Earthman Dick Jarvis making his way across the Martian landscape, accompanied by his newfound alien companion Tweel, discovering one otherworldly marvel after another as he tries to survive & reach the rocket that brought his team to Mars. The music is subtle, never obtrusive; the script is faithful to the story; the Martian vistas & its wonder's unfold vividly in the mind's eye. A perfect return to the Golden Age -- most happily recommended! Great audio adaption! This was before I realized this product is avalible on iTunes. I loved the short story and wanted to see how this did as an audio play. I liked it for its great use in sound (Tweel's voice was excellent), the piano score at the beginning and end, developed characters, and a focused and amusing storyline that I think sci-fi fans can relate to. A great experience, worth a rent! Good Story - Lousy Narrator I recently purchased this mp3 audiobook for a rock bottom price from a source other than Amazon, and after listening to the entire book, the story itself is still interesting even after some 70 years since its creation by Stanley Weinbaum. The characters are still relevant and the overall concept is still compelling. However, the narration by Jim Roberts is the worst reading of a book I've ever heard. I've listened to several hundred audiobooks performed by dozens of readers, and overwhelming majority have been "performed" not narrated. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Defenders-Audiobook/B002UZI55U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Way overpriced for 4 public domain short stories I highly recommend the stories but the price is far too high for a 66 page book containing only public domain stories. Entire novels of copyrighted material are available in paperback for less. Project Gutenberg has these stories and others by Philip K. Dick for free. I think it is unethical for the publisher not to disclose the public domain status of the contents in the description on the site. Unless you think the cover art is worth the cost of this book, give the book a pass and download the stories from Project Gutenberg or other sites that have them. If you want a hard copy to read print them out in the font size appropriate for you (especially important if you need large print to read well). Use the money you saved for something else such as Nick and the Glimmung or The Selected Letters of Philip K. Dick 1980-1982. Lame! The only thing that was good about this book was that it was short. So on the positive side, I didn't waste much of my life reading it. But hey, if you enjoy story lines that read like the author went to a kindergarten class for ideas, this may be the book for you. good stories... but only three total i bought this expecting four total stories, but there are only three. i am going to contact amazon about a refund. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Othello-and-Zombies-Audiobook/B06XG1TSX1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I ate thy brains ere I killed thee.... Members Reviews: Great adaptation! I really felt the author did a good job adapting the original story to a post apocalyptic world. My only negative comment was that the author changed from past to present tense periodically, usually for one sentence before switching back. It was a little distracting to me at times. The Bard and the Walking Dead NOTE: The author graciously gave me a copy of this book and asked me to write a review. Zombies are the liveliest trend in horror right now, from the success of TV series like "The Walking Dead" to the hordes of books about them on Amazon. Based on their sheer numbers in Amazon fiction, one would think that the entire world was undead dozens of times over. And with the rise of zombie fiction comes a variety of subgenres, including Seth Grahame-Smith's "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," pitting the undead against Jane Austen heroines. Now Aaron Frale, a rather imaginative science fiction writer, has his own take on the subject, invoking the Bard himself in "Othello and Zombies." Unfortunately, Frale wears his heart a bit too much on his sleeve in this book, and the concept is good in spots but not as effective as it should be. Unlike Grahame-Smithâs and similar parodies, âOthello and Zombiesâ is set in the present day after something thatâs never explained (as usually happens in zombie fiction) starts turning people into the undead. These zombies obey the usual rules of the genre: infecting those they bite, moving slowly but inexorably towards noise, and capable of being killed only by a wound to the head. The main human characters have the same or similar names as do the characters in the play, with Othello a former gang leader turned into a charismatic leader of many of the remaining humans in the former Los Angeles. After the treachery of his lieutenant Iago (a former reality TV star) results in the downfall of the city, Othello and his remaining followers head to Albuquerque, which is ruled by a former Army general known as the Brigadier. The Brigadier, given name Brabantio, happens to be the father of Othelloâs wife Desdemona, a former Miss California. The plot of âOthello and Zombiesâ is quite similar to that of its Shakespearean inspiration, with the noteworthy difference being that, instead of doing battle with invading Turks, Othello and company take on zombies, who are both a frequent interruption in the ongoing drama and a plot point, since Iago takes even added pleasure at the thought that the victims of his schemes will soon turn into zombies. The net result of this relative faithfulness to the source material is that the story becomes quite predictable, and the fun for readers is in seeing just how author Frale will get his post-Apocalyptic charactersâ deeds to conform to a storyline thatâs hundreds of years old. How much fun this is really depends on how big a Shakespeare buff a reader is. âPride and Prejudice and Zombiesâ and works of that nature succeeded because the authors didnât just appropriate the source material; they appropriated the source authorâs style (usually) and setting (always). The characters acted as if zombies had literally shambled their way into the novel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Our-Lady-of-the-Open-Road-and-Other-Stories-from-the-Long-List-Anthology-Vol-2-Audiobook/B01NCV8GBU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The six works included here are as diverse as David Levine's "Damage," a military sf story of artificial intelligence, and Ursula Vernon's "Pocosin," fantasy influenced by Native American mythology. What they all have in common is that they are all excellent, and all would have done the Hugo Finalists ballot proud had they made the cut. I don't really have a great deal more to say, except do yourself a favor, and listen to this audiobook, or read the individual stories elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Members Reviews: Super fun Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Sure I'd recommend to a friend. I listened to this while working out on my treadmill. It was a perfect length for a robust workout. The writers do a wonderful job in painting a picture of the times. Roger Price's voice is engaging and he tells the story effortlessly. When I was done I craved a beer and some carbs. While listening I was picturing a mish-mash of concepts booth historical and futurama, like. Quite enjoyable. Who was your favorite character and why? I tend to be drawn toward female characters so I'd like to hear more from Elyria. What does Roger Price bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Someone else's interpretation of the characters than my own. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? ugh I'm so not good at that kind of thing... Any additional comments? What a fun and imaginative comic series.

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com." During Apocalyptic Humor Where does The Killer Asteroid & the Bicycle & the Jet Ski &... rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the middle of the pack, but that pack is very good with a small standard deviation so it'll be just fine. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Killer Asteroid & the Bicycle & the Jet Ski &...? The entire thing was a huge shot of action and humor so it's hard to really pick anything out of the bunch. Which character as performed by K. Anderson Yancy was your favorite? The main character which is the source of all of the events and humor and different takes on the coming apocalyptic situation. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No. Any additional comments? I got this in exchange for an honest review. It's more reminiscent of an action movie than a short story and I found it quite entertaining if a little exhausting trying to keep up with everything.

Members Reviews: A Fast Paced, One Sitting Story I believe there is only one word to describe this Sci-Fi/Thriller novella - Exhausting. But don't get me wrong here, not exhausting in a bad way, more in the fact that the story starts at pace and doesn't really have anywhere the reader would want to stop until the final page - at which point a few hours (admittedly, enjoyable hours) have passed. The basic premise of Patchwerk is that Dran Florrian has invented a machine, The Palimpsest, that can manipulate alternate universes. A 'shady organisation' (as you might expect) wants the machine for their own nefarious ends and even enlist his ex wife Karen in their scheme. What ensues is a fight and flight story that follows Dran and Karen through several Alternate Universes (AUs) where we get to see different versions of them (including one where they swap genders)trying to keep the machine (and themselves) out of the wrong hands. What I liked - This was a good, short read with plenty going on. It reminded me of something along the lines of The 39 Steps or North By Northwest but put into a future Sci-Fi setting. The idea of different versions of the characters in different realities was handled well as were the AUs. The resolution for the relationship of the Dran and Karen characters was done in such a way that it seemed more believable than your typical Hollywood ending. What I disliked - There were moments when I had to go back and reread sections just to be clear on what was going on but that was mostly down to the pace of the prose not any fault with the writing itself. I will say at this point that I read Patchwerk earlier on in the year with the intention of reviewing it but for some reason I seem to have mislaid that review. Anyway, on realising this and re-reviewing I read the book again and must say it is a better read second time around (probably because I had a better idea of what was going on and what to expect). So, in short, a fast paced, if at times slightly confusing story that warrants a second read for full benefit - 4/5 stars Final thought - somebody needs to get hold of the film rights to this - it would look great on The Big Screen Worthy of a read if you're willing to work at it. Dr. Dran Florrian is heading away from New York with a device he calls a "Palimpsest" - a device that is the culmination of five years hard work. The Palimpsest is a machine that can reach into other realities and of course, that means it's a device that is going to be wanted by some of the more unsavory types, specifically Harlan Dorric - a man who has already taken something very valuable from Dran. And so Florrian is on the run. What author David Tallerman has done with this book that makes this a bit more interesting than your average sci-fi thriller is that he weaves other realities into this story, and does so without warning. Dran Florrian is also: Dâren Florein and Doran Floranov and Adwan Faizan . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Clown-from-Bennett-County-Audiobook/B00ZIWD66U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But in a good way Where does The Clown from Bennett County rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It is really up there on the list. This one offered an intriguing storyline with unexpected twists and a fantastic finish too. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Clown from Bennett County? When Blackfeather was accepted as a shaman by the tribe. Which character as performed by D. Rampling was your favorite? John Blackfeather of course. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I can't say without giving away plot points. I hate it when people do that in reviews. Any additional comments? This story kept me guessing and gave a finish that was more than I imagined it would be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Earthmen-Bearing-Gifts-Audiobook/B010C6N97C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is one of Fredric Brown's short short (of which he is famous for) stories. Not a novel. But it is a good one nevertheless. Mars vs. Earth and vice versa. Good story to be read again and again. And laugh at the results. Sci-Fi ala O'Henry This is a short story (under 20 pages) that combines science fiction with a bit of O'Henry. The story is clever and Fredric Brown is one of the pillars of the classic age of science fiction. So I recommend you read it - as long as you don't have to pay for the privilege, The best 3ish page story A great short story. I saw this in a $.99 bundle, and went for free instead. I will have to find some more works by Mr. Brown to read. Don't Miss This One Classic writing. Fredric Brown is sorely underappreciated. Ironic Science fiction If O Henry, the great ironist, had been born a few years later and discovered Science Fiction, this is a story he would have written. It has the kick at the end, the abrupt reversal that snaps your head around that made O Henry famous. The ending wasn't something Mr. Brown tacked on. It rose logically out of the story and what we know or suspect about our fellow earthmen. I'll have to read more by Fredric Brown. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Jancys-Justice-A-GnomeSaga-Tale-Audiobook/B00ZGUH6YM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

MacLeod Andrews if amazing as usual. Delightfully Dark Originally appearing in the Blackguards Anthology, The Long Kiss is a story about a man that is fleeing his past, a past which includes betrayal, murder, and a whole lot of gold. It's a short listen at 35 minutes, and is delightfully dark. Macleod Andrew does a fantastic job performing this little tale. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Walk-in-the-Dark-Audiobook/B00I9GQKWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Well Done I am really glad to see these short stories coming out in audio. This was very pleasant and entertaining to listen to. Written in 1950, it is typical of short stories of that time. Well written, keeping your attention, but you must not let your mind wonder, as the very last line in the story is the most important. Matter of fact I had to rewind, to make sure I had heard right. Lots of times these stories are like my reviews, where instead of telling you exactly, they set a mood and leave it to your imagination. Narrator and production is excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Witchs-Gift-Audiobook/B076PMNQY5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: much like Book 2 The Witch's Gift is another interstitial entry into the School of Spells & War saga, much like Book 2: A Midsummer's Party. As such, there's not much in the way of action, but we do meet some important new characters and see the aftereffects of Alis' confrontation with the malevolent spirit at the heart of Book 3: The Cinder Witch. I am assuming that this is the pattern that this series will take. I'm fine with that. It makes me look forward to Book 5 all the more. Alis has some problems with the aftermath of her encounter with Lyssa the Cinder Witch. Alis was left with an unexpected gift from her encounter with Lyssa the Cinder Witch. But not all gifts are truly welcome... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Use-Once-Then-Destroy-Audiobook/B00F2O2LOW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Use Once, Then Destroy Author: Conrad Williams Narrator: Lynne Jenson, John Curran Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: A serial killer is removing victims' hands in a Venice shackled by winter. A woman at the end of her tether finds a terrible release on holiday in the fens of East Anglia. A man is haunted by graffiti, and finds that his road to discovering the perpetrator leads to death - and worse. A husband trying to comfort his terminally ill wife seeks help in a forbidden zone from his childhood, where blood is the price of perfection. In this spellbinding collection of his best stories from the last ten years, award-winning writer Conrad Williams offers the kind of horrors that move subtly into you, like pain, or love, or regret. They are stories that explore the scarred outposts of desperation and desire, sickness and death, sex and decay. Within this audiobook, you will also find the acclaimed novella Nearly People (nominated for awards by the International Horror Guild and the British Fantasy Society), in which a woman's search for food in a nightmarish city brings her attention from an enigmatic man known as The Dancer, and a host of terrible epiphanies. Editorial Reviews: Williams' stories largely explore the darker sides of the human psyche: lust, obsession, fear, and madness. These stories are haunted with heartache and desperation. Performed by Lynne Jensen and John Curran, these tales fly by despite their often-morose subject matter. John Curran's gravelly tones are especially well-suited to portraying the frozen and shady streets of Venice...not to mention the serial killer who patrols them. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Conrad Williams) Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:21:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Use-Once-Then-Destroy-Audiobook/B00F2O2LOW thebookvoice.com 11:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ethereal prose strokes your soul like fetid colors on canvas Painted onto paper with pen strokes much like a dark feather tickling down your spine, Use Once, Then Destroy is a chilling and eerie treat to the horror fan in you. Not particularly graphic or even overly shocking, these tales are old time creepy combined with new world situations, brought to vivid life with the poetry of William's prose. The horror are vague, and they hide in the shadows as they salivate over your soul, waiting for the appropriate moment when the air is at its chilliest to sweep over you in shivering apprehension and dread, leaving you bleak and trembling in their wake. UOTD is a chilling collection of quiet terror, of felt but unseen things in the mists, of low-lying dread and unspeakable impulses. There are seventeen stories in all, too many to cover each one, but here is a quick summary of my favorites: City In Aspic - a haunting and misty tale of a hotelkeeper in Venice, and the horrors that haunt him through the city's winter streets. The Windmill - A vacation in Norfolk will be the beginning or the end of Claire's relationship. Wire - A boy remembers his mother, and the dark terror that stalked her when he was young. Edge - Another vacation gone awry, and love that turns bitter and violent. The Owl - A young man and his expecting wife move into an old house in the country, and a storm comes that changes everything. The Suicide Pit - In streets filled with "little samples and smears of humanity that won't erase", a lonely man finds his destiny. Nearly People - (the longest and best of the stories) Eerily futuristic look at a quarantined area of a city, where Carrier stalks food for Jake, and meets the Dancer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Sentiment-Inc-Audiobook/B00MPURTSE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Free on Gutenberg in better format I have no objection to publishers who take public-domain works, add nice features like a Table of Contents and internal chapter/break anchors, and then sell them as a "value-added" product. This is more like a "value-subtracted" product; the free Kindle version downloadable from the Gutenberg Project has real italics (where this has _email-style underscore markup_ ) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Three-Magic-Tales-Audiobook/B00LLORKDO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The setting is a society in which aging has been cured, individuals have indefinite lifespans, and population control is used to limit the population of the United States to 40 million. This is maintained through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide. In short, in order for someone to be born, someone must first volunteer to die.

Norma Jean Goodwyn is 120 years old and the founder of a most unusual space station.

Members Reviews: A treat It must be said that this is really a very short story. The entire ebook was created as a promotional tool, and the story occupies only one third of it. I had downloaded it when it was free. I find that make people pay for it, despite the value of the author, is not honest. Yet at this moment it isn't fee, which leaves me puzzled. Apart from that, this is a really brilliant little story about the possibility of knowing the future and how this can change the course of events. Personally, I was amazed at the skill of Hamilton in including so many details in such a small text, knowing the tendency that he has to write huge stories. He managed to build a well thought out, quite complex story, which intrigued me all the time I was reading it. I had no idea how it was going to end. And the final twist was really unexpected. Very nice. Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli, author ofRed Desert - Point of No Return Good Little Short Story I picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion, and glad I found it. This story is a nice quick read, and will have you thinking about it long after you read it as you wonder what you would do with information of today if you were able to go back in time. This one takes about 10 or so minutes to read, and would be something good to read during your lunch break at work. The actual short story takes up about 25% of the reading experience, as there is an excerpt for one of the author's novels. Well-rounded time travel story - 3 1/2 stars I enjoyed this short story -- and it is quite short, shorter than the file size would indicate, since almost 3/4 of the file is a teaser excerpt for one of Hamilton's novels -- and I liked Hamilton's take on the old time travel theme. It was also interesting to have the narrator be a kind of "accidental time traveller," rather than the more typical time travelling protagonist we so often see, who is either a scientist or an explorer. I agree with someone else who mentioned in their review that the story could have been better edited. I was torn between thinking that the story hadn't been edited and wondering whether the errors were deliberate -- some kind of stylistic device because it's first-person narration and the narrator isn't supposed to have a grasp of punctuation and grammar. I decided that even if it were the latter, the story still should have been edited because the sheer number of run-on sentences and misuse of commas was really distracting to read. Still, I enjoyed it as a nice bedtime story. It reminded me slightly of Ray Bradbury in terms of the story's characters and the plot twist. This was a cool little story This was a cool little story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Horla-Audiobook/B005FY6G54 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Mr. Spencer notes that the willingness is more important than the actual result, and that his life is not in ruins. But he does believe that risk-taking is part of the process, not only for the author but for his characters. This is certainly the case for the characters in this collection of stories. There are people in peril here (a therapist, a wife and daughter, a friend) and there are those who would save them by venturing into the unknown. In The Halfway House at the Heart of Darkness a virtual reality addictions counselor is on the run with his zoned-out client, pursued by the relentless architects of a seductive virtual game called Apes and Angels. In The Oddskeeper's Daughter a marriage made in a heaven of parallel worlds is tested by impossible luck, both good and bad. In Downloading Midnight a computer technician must make a dangerous journey into virtual reality in an attempt to save his colleague and prevent the entire web from collapsing. Join us for a mind-bending tour through the imagination of William Browning Spencer. Critic Reviews: "William Browning Spencer is one of those rare short story writers who comes along once in a generation -- like Saki, Collier, Sheckley -- and manages to combine all of the virtues within that restricted format."

Members Reviews: Good without being great In "The Aliens," starfaring humanity has found evidence of an alien race, nicknamed the "Plumies," although nobody has actually seen one. Is war inevitable? Then the starship Nicola encounters a single Plumie ship, and they end up welded together and trapped...as they fall into a star. Murray Leinster was one of the greats in sci-fi, and his 1945 novella "First Contact" is reckoned among the all-time great stories of interspecies meetings. "The Aliens" (1959) covers many of the same themes and, for those familiar with the first story, this one is a little bit of a let-down. For those wishing to compare, "First Contact" is available on Audible (I haven't listened to it yet). Ran Alan Ricard's narration is well-done. He delivers the characterizations pretty well (and the nominal 'bad guy' sounds like a whiny loser). My one complaint is that he has a slight lisp (or perhaps it's a production artifact), although I stopped noticing after a few minutes. Short Story from old but meaningful Any additional comments? This is an old first contact story but is still good. How do you think we would communicate with another race in time of need? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Classic-Science-Fiction-Volume-3-Audiobook/B0036C7HLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Stories include: Members Reviews: Old Time Sci-Fi I love classic science fiction as much as the next guy, but I have to admit that this particular collection of stories wasn't my favorite. N Day is about a scientist who is studying spots and storms on the sun. It is told in the form of his personal journal and the scientist grows more terrified and frantic as he realizes that the unusual activity on the sun may be a herald of doom for the solar system. I like the premise of the story but it is what you might call hard sci-fi; very technical and detailed. Personally, I have a hard time with hard sci-fi. The Figure was my favorite from Volume 3. Scientists have created a "grab machine" that can reach into the future and grab an object and bring it back. The object they grab turns out to be a statue of a cockroach-like-creature that is reaching upward in what would typically be described as an inspirational pose. Far from being inspired, however, the scientists are terrified as to what kind of future might have prompted such a statue. At the same time, there are news reports of a newly discovered breed of cockroach in South America that apparently cannot be killed. Pretty scary stuff! Brightside Crossing is about the ultimate in extreme sports, although I don't think that term had been coined yet back in 1951. A group of four men plan to become the first to cross Mercury's sun-facing side at perihelion; the planet's closets approach to the sun. An extreme sport indeed seeing as how the surface of Mercury can reach more than 800 degrees farenheit. Many have tried it, but so far none succeeded. Classic Science Fiction Volume 3 is narrated by Skip Mahaffey who does a pretty decent job. He reads with a good deal of enthusiasm and at least makes an attempt at differentiating character voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Poison-Belt-Audiobook/B002V1CCG6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P)2009 One Voice Recordings Members Reviews: probably revolutionary in its time What did you like best about The Man Who Could Work Miracles? What did you like least? This story may have been the first of its kind, and was probably a new and fantastic thing a hundred years ago; however, since then, it has been done repeatedly--and better. I especially disliked the ending; it's so irrational and idiotic, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't heard it. Food for thought I wonder what that nice police constable thought about the trip he got sent on. If you want to know where he was sent, be sure to read this incredible tale of mind-over-matter as told by H.G. Wells, the incredibly gifted author who gave us that wonderful novel, "The Time Machine". And be sure to read his other short stories as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Little-Slice-of-Hell-Audiobook/B0774VHJ7Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A captivating short story full of mystique and intrigue The Memory Remains is a captivating short story full of mystique and intrigue. The narrator, Tom Jordan does an amazing job whisking you away into a far-away place in a far-away time. I found the story to be thoroughly entertaining with a plot twist that surprised me. I highly recommend this story. Very Different The Memory Remains was a very different book than what I've listened to from Justin, so far - good, but different. It transported me to a different time and place. Tom Jordan, the narrator, really brought the story to life. It was the perfect book to listen to on this rainy night! Thanks Justin and Tom - another great book that I'll listen to again and share with others. A wicked catch 22 After killing his evil predecessor, the new king and his village celebrate. Until Astrid comes down from the mountain to make him a cryptic offer. Unable to forget her, the king sneaks away to meet Astrid while the villagers sleep. Although it's unclear who this mysterious mountain seductress is, the choice she offers is as unambiguous as it is destructive. What is a virtuous king to do? The Memory Remains is different from this author's other stories and I'm glad to see him expanding. Still present though is his economy of story telling, visually engaging setting, and moral complexity. Kudos also to the Narrator. He adopts a different voice than usual which gives the in-story narrator his own personality and makes The Memory Remains even more immersive. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Starward-Tales-Volume-1-Audiobook/B01N9W6KWY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dear God, Avoid This Story Would you try another book from Duncan P. Bradshaw and/or Chris Barnes? No. No. A Thousand Times, No. What do you think your next listen will be? Anything that is not by this author. Have you listened to any of Chris Barness other performances before? How does this one compare? No, But I am sure it's because he died after reading this story. What character would you cut from 28 Seconds Later? All of them. Any additional comments? In no way was this story connected to the 28 Days Later franchise, except that they mention it in the story. I think this story is maybe a satire, but it fails at that. It has to do with a some Russians who are drugging Olympic athletes, but they turn into uber zombies and a satirical James Bond character shows up who talks about needing to get laid before the Russians shoot him. The authors mention how the "Zombies"/"infected" will need to poop first before going after more scientists. I dunno. This is literally the worst short story I have ever listened to. I paid a little over $2 and I feel genuinely cheated. I would not waste a coupon on this story. This is literally an author naming his story after something that is actually successful. Loads of fun, very entertaining, great narration. Where does 28 Seconds Later rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It is definitely the best short story. Overall it ranks very high as it is fun and very original. What was one of the most memorable moments of 28 Seconds Later? The introduction of the British spy with the "familiar" accent. What about Chris Barness performance did you like? I enjoyed the use of his native dialect to voice the British spy, but also how he managed to give each character a slightly different voice. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I'm not sure about "moved", but I certainly enjoyed every aspect of the story. From the Cold War setting to the way the author tackles an old trope, taking inspiration from a certain movie franchise and putting his own stamp on it. It has its own originality and style which was a great deal of fun. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Holiday-on-the-Moon-Audiobook/B01K5JACCQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Caught off guard by how engaged I became What was one of the most memorable moments of Stellar Cloud? The retelling of the classic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, with the scifi twist, was my favorite story. Though the Assasin world, reprogrammed aliens with wings, mental collective and all of the stories were equally great. I felt like I listened to a season of Dr. Who. Any additional comments? Upon a recommendation, I listened to this through Audible and was pleasantly surprised. I have not read many short stories before and I was caught off guard by how engaged I became with each scifi story. I listened to them while working on a tedious and boring project for work, so it made the project much more enjoyable. The narrator on Audible definitely added to the stories and was entertaining. My only complaint is that the short stories were so interesting that it left me wanting more when each ended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Terrifying-Lies-Audiobook/B0195L8FL0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Norman Rockwell and Zombies Craig Nybo remains the Norman Rockwell of American monster fiction, and this collection of his short stories proves it. A Nybo story is usually about a small-town here. Often, the hero is from a blue-collar background: a trucker, a bus driver, a cop. Things go to hell, in a bad way. The Nyboesque protagonist organizes his or her community and applies practical know-how to get the job done. A Nyboesque hero doesn't fret or go insane when it turns out that reality is fragile; she or he rolls up sleeves and does the necessary thing, often unsure of the greater cosmic order of things, but willing to stand up for what's right and hope there's a God to notice. Many of the Terrifying Lies are zombie tales, and connect to Nybo's Zombie Sing-a-Long collections (full disclosure; I play a bad guitar part on one of those CDs). Of these, my favorite is without a doubt "Blue Rinse and a Shotgun," in which a pedophile returned in zombie form gets put to permanent rest by... the kind of a heroine who rinses her hair blue. But Nybo strays into broader territory, too, as in "Hostile Takeover," in which invitation into the elite inner circle of a law firm's partners entails going on commando raids against rival firms. This is a satisfying and entertaining collection. I would like Hollywood to notice Craig Nybo -- his stories are visual and action-packed, eminently filmable, and his heroes are always imperfect people worthy of emulation. STRONG COLLECTION BY A WRITER WHO KNOWS THE CRAFT Terrifying Lies by legendary author and musician Craig Nybo is a strong collection of 19 short stories by a writer who knows the craft. I was hooked right from the start in the opening tale, The Bloody Journal of Lance King. Itâs about a guitar player who survives after the zombie apocalypse and keeps a journal of the happenings. The hooks for the journal entries were great and the character of Lance comes through like an awesome riff that sticks in your head. The whole thing unfolds like you are listening to the complete collection of a killer band that you had never heard before, and are so glad you found them. This eminently fun and re-readable collection contain several very different stories about regular, working class people trying to survive after some sort of apocalypse, usually related to zombies. I love the truth in the fiction and the excellent way the stories are told. Iâll highlight a few of my favorite stories. Dead Pact Oblivion is a dark and bleak story about a hero and a survivor refusing to accept the demonic apocalypse. Very engaging and full of rich imagery of the old west. The main character, Galen, has an impossible task ahead of him, but he refuses to give up. He's a fascinating character and there are so many tiny details that make him live. The survivors Galen meets, young Liv, is as tough as nails. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Doom-City-Audiobook/B017JH379M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was a great story. It's a quick listen, but I hope PJ Clark comes out with some more stuff to build on this story. I like how the suspense is built and I really liked how I was thrown right into the story. There is some backstory but the narrator doesn't hold up the flow with constant information dumps, instead he goes in and out of story, expertly weaving crucial information in. Bravo. Bravo. Jason Christiansen Good read I really liked the sentence style and word choice. Narration was a tad slow. Would like to hear more especially why the "weapon" was so important. Avoid this tripe. I did not like anything about this story. The story felt very incomplete. The narrator was plain bad. The sound quality was horrible. It sounded like a rain shower was taking place during the whole story. It only cost a couple bucks, but I feel like I should have been paid to listen to this tripe. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Green-River-Crime-Stories-Audiobook/B0134F6H6S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I enjoyed how Bohnhoff stirred my imagination to entertain a hopeful Author Maya Bohnhoff, is an apt tour guide on our journey through these five charming time travel stories. Each touches on an encounter we might experience on the way: An attempt to change history, an attempt to leave history unchanged, a meeting with a spirited ancestor, a family's visit to the past, and using time travel to understand a foreign--make that alien--culture. I enjoyed how Bohnhoff stirred my imagination to entertain a hopeful, egalitarian, multi-cultural future. A Must-Read A lovely, thoughtful collection of short stories by NY Times Bestseller Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff. Her stories weave together not only the scientific, but the human, moral, and spiritual elements of time travel. Challenging, heart-warming, and beautifully written. A must read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Turning-Wheel-Audiobook/B00WL4Y5WW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/265/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Turning Wheel Author: Philip K. Dick Narrator: Mike Vendetti Format: Unabridged Length: 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-24-15 Publisher: Spoken Realms Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: If, after a great struggle, the East were to prevail over the world, what sort of civilization would be imposed by the victors? Would it be an oriental version of the societies we know - or might the great old culture be superimposed upon what was left of Western technology? The story is set in a postapocalyptic future where global civilization is governed by a hierarchical, religious society centered around belief in karmic-based reincarnation metaphorically viewed as moving forward or backward on a turning wheel. The society presented is class driven, apparently with Caucasians ("Caucs") at the bottom and Asians and Native Americans at the top. Above all is the god/messiah, the Bard "Elron Hu" (that is to say, "Elron Hu, Bard"), whose spiritual plan involves one becoming "clear" - an obvious jab at L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics, the self-help book that had been released a few years before. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Philip K.

Title: Death's Dreadlocks Author: Tobias Buckell Narrator: Prentice Onayemi Format: Unabridged Length: 26 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Death's Dreadlocks is a short story from the collection Tides from the New Worlds. Caribbean born novelist Tobias Buckell established himself as a gifted new voice in science fiction with his stunning first novel, Crystal Rain. Now, in his first collection, Buckell demonstrates his strengths in the short form, offering listeners a collection of stories that are compelling, smart, wonderfully imagined, and entertaining. Tides from the New Worlds contains 19 stories that range from multicultural science fiction to magical realism, some in print for the first time. "Buckell's stories, culturally informed and layered, are driven by plot, rather than character or concept; story tends to be centerpiece. He is in this sense a little like a mellowed, more pragmatic, hipper version of Octavia Butler." (Strange Horizons) "In Tides from the New Worlds, Tobias Buckell does what the best SF/F writers do: tells stories that touch our minds with wonder and endow our hearts with perception. Reading this collection, for those of us culture-bound West or East, brings science fiction and fantasy to a fresh awakening. And for those of us who miss seeing ourselves in the fiction we so often read, it's quite moving."

Members Reviews: Conan, guns, and Cthulhuian horrors, oh my! Well, it's not actually Conan, but I would say A.J. Spencer's Shaska does a lot to remind me of Conan tales set early in his career. Shaska's attitudes and manner mirror Conan the thief; her attitudes and indomitable nature. The world feels similar to Hyborian Age as well - littered everywhere with princely estates and hidden treasure tombs. Add to that guns (setting it apart from Conan) and Cthulhuian horrors, stir, and serve! Overall, it's a good story, if a little short. I could have done with a little more peril traversing the treasure cave. While there are dangers it seemed a little easier than it should have. That may just be how the author sets up his hero - maybe she comes off as a little too unstoppable. Matt Franklin's narration and accent are smooth as silk. That's both good and bad. I'd buy more just to listen to him read, but his might not have been the best genre for him. Many times I just felt like the action was lacking a sense of danger - like the heroine was a little too casual throughout, though this may be as much the writing as the narration. There were also some unforced errors, like double-reading of lines of text. If you're into the fantasy genre this is a great quick read. I'd give it a solid 3-1/2 stars both for story and narration. The series has a lot of potential, and I think they will get even better as the tales go forward. Mud creatures & ancient gods! Note: Even though this is Book 2 in the series, it works as a stand alone. Shaska the SnowRaven returns! In this installment, she gets swept up in the hunt for a long-coveted but much guarded treasure, the treasure of Okra-Bane. But this isnt the only thing she has to contend with there are yet more Vorsharians! These are the giant insect creatures we met in Book 1. They are vengeful, plentiful, and organized. Shaska and her friends may truly be in trouble. The story starts off with Shaska and Linx (her mutated fox-serpent friend and pet) having a hot bath. They are guests of a city duke and are getting use to pampered life. Alas, some smelly mud has blocked the pipes and is fouling the tub. Shaska rouses the innkeeper and heads to the basement to figure out the problem. She starts off in decent boots and a silk robe, but as you might imagine if you read Book 1, Shaska is soon fighting some monster in just her boots.
