Members Reviews: Great fun for twenty-something Brits Funny to hilarious mind ramblings of a London shopgirl with a mind of her own and a solid opinion of herself as she is abducted and hailed as a god by the people of this fifth dimension planer. The publisher's summary will give you some clues without spoilers. Enjoy this gigglefest! Elan gives a fantastic performance that no book could match. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. FANBLOODYTASTIC!!!! TOODLE PIP! LOL Would you listen to Soul Cypher again? Why? Absolutely!!!! It was great!! I laughed and Laughed...Taniya is hilarious!!!!! What was one of the most memorable moments of Soul Cypher? When Taniya realizes she can just think things into existence...and the first time she asked for a bathroom on Planet Fruitcake..I laughed my butt off!!! What does Elan O'Connor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? SHE ROCKED IT!! I would totally listen to her again!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes it was...and I would have if I didnt have to carry on with normal everyday life, like work and sleep!!! lol Any additional comments? **I was given a free copy of this book via audiobookblast in exchange for an honest review** This was such a funny book...its like one big hilarious rant!!! Taniya is just living her life, boring job, rude boss...retail-hell...she has had this odd triangular mark on her thigh for quite sometime, and it is rumored to be an alien mark...then one day she slips on some old lady wee...and poof she is in another dimension! She is considered a God...lol Well she meets Ned...who is supposed to be her nemesis...they end up joining forces to take down the opposition...SUPER DUPER HILARIOUS ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!!! I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!! Embraces modern British-isms. I've never read anything from Poppet before, but from what I've heard this is not her usual genre. Still, I enjoyed the story and the characters. I was a bit shocked by how youthfully British the whole story felt, but it really works in the first person perspective of Taniya. While I didn't laugh-out-loud, I did smile at a few scenes and sentences. I just want to point out that this is not the same type of humour that you might find in a Pratchett or Adams book. It is a much more modern type of fast speaking, slang-slinging humour. Elan O'Connor did an excellent job capturing the essence of Taniya. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/John-Golden-The-Heroes-of-Mazaroth-Audiobook/B00Q3FOG60 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Wonderful Adventure of Time Unfolding The Incunabula Papers are required reading and I expect to periodically revisit and research the material. It just keeps on getting better. The only disclaimer is that you really should be feeling sound of mind before tackling this narrative. Anecdotal reports indicate a significantly high incidence of it precipitating temporary insanity in predisposed individuals. I suppose that counts as fair warning.

Members Reviews: tears of gold review What made the experience of listening to Tears of Gold the most enjoyable? The narrator's voice for the characters. What did you like best about this story? The scene when the necklace is found. Which character as performed by Chris Barnes was your favorite? Again, Michael. Any additional comments? Again, like part one, this is an interesting short story. Not a big fan Any additional comments? Book one and three were a lot better. I'm not sure why. I just didn't particularly like this one. I think maybe it was anti-climactic. prefered the first book Would you try another book written by Gayle Ramage or narrated by Chris Barnes? yes to both... looking forward to them. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? a bit longer, more character development and more critters Which scene did you most enjoy? neh Do you think Tears of Gold needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? yes i hope its part of a series Any additional comments? Hattie gets burgled and of course she has unusual things in her house. Sadly, all the witches in the town cannot seem to protect this lovely necklace that allows the wearer to cry tears of gold. Hattie is keen to get this back as the wearer is not usually a very lucky one despite the gold. After a bit skulduggery she tracks down the thief. Whilst I enjoyed the story it did not have the belly laughs of depth of story of the first one, the creatures and myths were eluded to but never fully formed and Michael and his family were a mere after thought. again Chris Barnes does a fabulous job of bringing what little character there was to life. Short, but so endearing Would you consider the audio edition of Tears of Gold to be better than the print version? Is there a printed version?Chris Barnes succeeds in setting up a cosy and fuzzy atmosphere that I'm not sure I'd get by simply reading the text. What did you like best about this story? As astounded as I am about my saying so: the whole series benefits from coming in form of short stories rather than a longer novel. I'm fairly certain that the style and the stories wouldn't come over as well in a longer version. What about Chris Barness performance did you like? See above. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Heraclix-and-Pomp-Audiobook/B00N57WY0Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Wild and Wonderful Ride This is a solicited ARC that I agreed, with much anticipation, to read and fairly review. Full disclosure thingy you know. Now that all the ethical things are out of the way. Get ready for a wild ride through the Holy Roman and Ottoman empires as Heraclix, a sort of Frankenstein's monster, and his unlikely companion, the fairy Pomp, try to find where Heraclix came from and what he was before he was sewn together by the sorcerer Mowler. But Mowler wants to rule Hell since he figures he's already damned, why not at least be #1 in Hell and while he's at it why not take everyone else with him so he can be top dog of everyone. To do this he needs the Ottoman Turks to attack the Holy Roman empire. This background is what Heraclix and fey Pomp have to deal with as they try to get to Istanbul to find out Heraclix's origins and along the way Pomp learns what it means to be non-fairy, if that makes any sense. Uncategorizable comes to mind. Is it historical fiction? Is it fantasy? Is it horror? The plot rolls from historical fact to to fantasy to pure horror at times and you never know how the various threads are going to come back together again especially after Pomp and Heraclix are separated. The plot seems random at times but just hold on, it's all making sense soon. It is helpful to know what the Holy Roman and Ottoman empires were, and a little bit about eastern European geography. A little effort makes the ride a bit more enjoyable. Fantastic! Wow. This is fantastic in every sense of the word. Heraclix and Pomp - A Mix of the Delightful and the Unsettling Heraclix and Pomp is a rather dense novel. Shortly before finishing it I asked myself why, and I think I've got the answer. This excellent story, the first I've read by Forrest Aguirre, is one of the most descriptive pieces I've read in quite some time. Scarcely anything Aguirre shows you in this story lacks for a description, and some of the details are strikingly imaginative. As is the plot, which starts out as a simple quest for knowledge, yet develops some beautiful twists and turns along the way, long after you've stopped pestering the air around your reading chair with enquiries like "what, exactly, was that foul sorcerer up to and why does Heraclix want to uncover the painful secrets the sly magician left behind?". You stop asking, and file the questions in the back of your mind, because the book is such a joy to read, and the characters so engrossing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Haunted-City-Audiobook/B00KWG8E0K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Guardian of Mystic Britain Fight to Protect Her I love seeing Judith Tarr writing fantasy again. Her grey mare's daughters series was ok, but she is at her best when describing the swirl of Wild Magic about Riders who have gone beyond the boundaries of the mundane world. Henry is dead, Richard the Lionhearted is to be crowned King of the English, but there is another crown waiting for him, did he but accept it: the crown of the King of Britain, guardian of the mystical realm that is Britain, warded by four guardians who are more than human. However, Richard's eyes and heart are set on Jerusalem and his Crusade. He has no use for Pagan ceremonies and spurns the Crown of Britain. This sets in motion a magical chain of events that resonated in the real world. In Anjou, Arslan, a young ... son of a dead lord waits with his two Seljuk servants. He had been born and raised in outremer, the son of a mortal lord and an Ifritah, a spirit of fire. In him the magic runs high. A Crusade is gathering and he intends to return to the East. However, he is given a prophetic dream, in which he is told that he must go to Britain, where he is needed. There comes riding into his brother's keep a company, one of whom is recognizable as William, a ... Plantagenet. The other, who seems less worthy is pushed aside while William is feted. The one who is pushed aside is John Lackland, the very legitimate son of Henry and Eleanor of Acquitaine. He is pleased to be amused by it and when he rides out, leaving a discomforted Lord of Anjou, he takes Arslan with him. The mystical forces that protect Britain offer John a bargain. They offer him a chance to rule as overlord of the spirit of the place, but he is to pay a price. That price is that the world will see him as his brother's usurper and would not know of the service that he had performed to save Britain (and England) to, from the forces arrayed against it. The book though focuses mainly on Arslan, on his love for one of the Guardians and how two people both blessed and cursed with magic come to an understanding. Arslan, the son of a spirit of fire, is beautiful and strong. His name means lion. The Lady Eschivra, the daughter of Morgana and a river god, is older than him in years, wiser than he in magic, but more tangled in her thoughts and emotions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Empire-Dreams-Audiobook/B00JF6G8A6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: An excellent sampler of McDonald's work Originally posted at Fantasy Literature. Over the past few months Ive read seven novels by Ian McDonald and have appreciated his thoughtful and beautifully written stories. I admired all of them, even those that I didnt particularly like. McDonalds stories are unique, many have exotic settings you can get immersed in, and most have fascinating science fiction ideas while also portraying poignant human struggles. Empire Dreams (1988) is a sampler of ten of McDonalds short stories and novelettes that offer fans and new readers a few glimpses of the authors brilliance and versatility. The first five were originally published in Asimovs Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine and the rest are original to this volume: Empire Dreams (Ground Control to Major Tom) (Originally printed in Asimovs, December 1985) This novelette is about a new medical technology that uses a virtual reality game to let oncology patients fight their cancer. A boy who just lost his father is the first patient to try the new treatment. The world watches his mother sit by his hospital bed while, internally, the boy and his dead father try to defeat the cancer in Star Wars fashion. This is a touching story about losing parents. Scenes from a Shadowplay (Asimovs, July 1985) In this clever revenge story, a famous Venetian composer orchestrates the murder of a rival using automatons built by his disinherited clone-brothers. I loved the science fiction elements in this story and wish McDonald would write more in this world. Christian (Asimovs, October 1984) This strange novelette is about a boy who befriends a man named Christian who flies kites on the beach and tells stories. The kites, and Christian himself, are not what they seem. In one of the stories Christian tells, we see the pain-free society that McDonald will write about later in his novel Out on Blue Six. King of Morning, Queen of Day (Asimovs, May 1988) I loved this novelette about an upper-class Irish family in the early 20th century. The father, Dr. Desmond, is scorned by his scientific colleagues when he discovers a comet that he insists is actually an alien spaceship. As he measures its progress toward Earth and designs an apparatus for communicating with the aliens, he worries about his daughter Emily who imagines that the woods around their house are inhabited by faeries and she has become their queen. This story is drenched in irony as the characters use their own beliefs and biases to try to explain the other characters odd behavior. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Last-Dragoon-Audiobook/B00J53MZ6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dorse brings a voice and tone perfect for the tale What made the experience of listening to The Last Dragoon the most enjoyable? A fantasy work by Ross, Dragoon takes a common theme of classic high fantasy and turns it on it's head. The sepulcheric voice of Dorse as the Dragoon often pulls you through a story which leaves you both quickened by the excitement, and yet heartbroken by the sense of loss experienced by the character. A conclusion that demonstrates more than just a need for raw power of destruction to win the day, "Last Dragoon" is a cut above your average fantasy, and brings a storytelling tone that will stand the test for many readings. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hell-to-Pay-Audiobook/B00IUYDOJC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Thats not to say the books are without humour there are many laugh out loud moments but the main focus is on the plot. The first book in the series was very good, the second was better. The events of those books were leading up to this final volume in the trilogy and its the best yet... This is a great series. The covers, while nice to look at, perhaps emphasise the silly aspects a little too much for such cleverly plotted books. Theres so much more to them than humour." (British Fantasy Society) Members Reviews: Funny but not the best in the series Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If you liked the previous books in the series or Terry Pratchett yes. Who was your favorite character and why? The demon assistant. Would you listen to another book narrated by Tom Lawrence? Maybe. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Near the end when the characters all realized how much they'd been used. Any additional comments? The ending wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. It just didn't feel like a nice closing for an ending of the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Librarian-Audiobook/B00HU7087Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was well impressed with this book that was written and read by Mur. She did great with both. Support new authors and pay for this book. She has given us enough for free!! Great story and narration Fresh, fun and different. I really enjoyed this book. It had new ideas and a fresh take on monsters in the big city. The author is very good as an narrator. She doesn't have an actors perfect trained voice but that just gives the main character a feeling of being real. I really love it when authors read their own work. I actually originally found the book as a paper back and liked it. Then I saw that the audio book was read by the author , immediately bought it and loved it. Can't wait for Mur Lafferty's next book. mur at her best Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I've been a fan of mur for years now and she only seems to get better, shambling is a side ways look at an alternative ny city where every conceivable type of being is out there somewhere, its intelligent witty and even pretty hot and steamy in places, mur! who knew! a sure fire hit would definitely recommend 5* So funny and so entertaining I loved it thank you murr. So entertaining and refreshing to see the usual take on this kind of story turned on its head. I love it's "everyday" attitude to the fantastical. It works so well in listened to both story's more than twice already I am waiting with baited breath for the next book. Fun and fluffy Would you listen to The Shambling Guide to New York City again? Why? Probably not - it was a junk food kind of book, something you veg out with rather than savour. I'm also not the biggest fan of urban fantasy, which I always forget until I read some, but it held up well. Did Mur Lafferty do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How? Yes she did, with her varied voices. I will say that her accent is quite jarring, however, especially for a British audience. Any additional comments? The romance was obviously predictable, but the zombie problem took some interesting turns, as did the Big Bad. Overall, it surprised me by subverting my expectations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Buck-Johnson-Dragon-Wrangler-Audiobook/B00BTKEQE6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of Buck Johnson: Dragon Wrangler to be better than the print version? I am on the go and loved this audio book. I have not read the print version. What did you like best about this story? Wyatt Mclaren takes us on a wild and hilarious ride with characters who feel like people from the old west. I smiled through the whole thing and laughed a few times as well! this book left me feeling like I had just spent time with some old cowboys on a ranch out west. I can only hope the next installment is as good. Which character as performed by Joe Roark was your favorite? I loved the Buck Johnson character. He sort of reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones character in the Good Ol Boys. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? A short story long on laughs. Any additional comments? If you love westerns of any kind and are also a fan of star trek, firefly or star wars this will be an enjoyable listen. Entertaining Western with some funny characters! Would you listen to Buck Johnson: Dragon Wrangler again? Why? I was a little hesitant at first to buy this as I could not quite grasp a western that featured cowboys riding dragons. After listening though it really was quite entertaining and well written. The author has a good grasp of the life of a cowboy and how things work "out west"even if out west is way out west! Who was your favorite character and why? I have to say it was a toss up between the main character "Buck Johnson" and the terulian lizard guy carposh. Which character as performed by Joe Roark was your favorite? I thought the carposh lizard character was quite entertaining. Since this is a series i would like to see how this plays out in the next story. Any additional comments? Looking forward to the rest of the series. Buck Johnson is my new hero on the planet Terul! Space Westerns have been a favorite of mine for a long long time. Search google and there are not many results. I loved the show Firefly which only ran one season because again why the fans of this genre are dedicated, there just are not a lot of us. McLaren does a superb job of taking the rodeo/ranch hand cowboy and placing him in a setting identical to so many ranches. The "ranch" just happens to be the planet Terul. Terul has 2 suns and a native class of people that are reptilian and speak with lots of sss at the end of their words. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Honorable-Barbarian-Audiobook/B00B3WU8CY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But his younger brother Kerin lacked such wisdom. The outraged father of Adeliza had caught him in compromising circumstances with the maiden. So Kerin had to be sent at once on a mission by sea to the Far East. But Kerin's talent for trouble was not to be denied. First came Belinka, a sprite sent by Adeliza to bring him back safe for her. The ship captain believed Kerin was seducing his mistress. Though innocent this time, Kerin left hastily in a rowboat. That got him to a hermit-wizard's island - and a voyage on a pirate ship, where the kidnapped princess Nogiri was held captive. Kerin was unable to save her - until he gained the help of the hermit-wizard, who then betrayed him by seizing the girl and fleeing with her to be used as a human sacrifice. From then on, events became hectic as Kerin managed to save Nogiri again, helped by a wizard who was the enemy of the first one. Belinka was much distressed by what happened then between Kerin and Nogiri - with cause - as they set out again, this time to the Emperor of the Farthest East. There Kerin discovered more magic, and the Emperor learned that no man should be absentminded when using a powerful spell. But it was later that Kerin discovered the limitations of roller skates. biacuaduc@gmail.com (L.

Members Reviews: Methinks this is a wild adventure I have been familiar with the name of L. Sprague de Camp for some time, but I am only now delving into his fiction. This book is a little peculiar; I can name several things I didn't love about the book, but overall I found it an interesting, enjoyable read. Kerin is our honorable barbarian (branded the latter for the sole reason that he travels to the east in his recorded journey) whose family sends him on a business trip immediately after the father of the supposedly "virginal" Adeliza (she is colorfully described by one character as having "a hot notch in her crotch") catches him in a hayloft with his daughter. He journeys to Kuromon to retrieve information on advanced clock technology. The journey is not an easy one. After bartering his way on to a ship, he is forced to flee from the jealousy of the captain's lust for the female navigator. After enduring some months with the talkative, self-exiled wizard Pwana on an otherwise deserted island, he finds himself in the hands of nasty pirates intent on buggering him and eventually killing him. Managing to escape unbuggered, he continues his journey with a princess rescued from the clutches of the dastardly pirates. All too soon, though, the princess falls into the clutches of Pwana, who intends to sacrifice her to his god. As if rescuing princesses is not enough, Kerin must also deliver a secret message to the Kuromon government, evade the continuing threats and attacks of the evil wizard Pwana, and abide the torment of the sprite Belinka who was hired on behalf of Adeliza to keep him away from other women (particularly the comely princess) while he is away from home. One thing that hinders the flow of the narrative, particularly early on, is the dialect of the characters, each of whom speaks like a second-rate Shakespearean actor, with "methinks," "cansts," "thankees," and the like permeating the narrative. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Revenant-Eve-Audiobook/B00AECMW6O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Revenant Eve Author: Sherwood Smith Narrator: Jessica Almasy Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Kim Murray is happily planning her wedding when she finds herself pulled two centuries back in time. It's 1795, the rise of Napoleon, and Kim is now a guardian spirit for a 12-year-old kid who will either become Kim's ancestor...or the timeline will alter and Kim will vanish, along with the small, magical European country of Dobrenica. What? Yes, the child called Aurelie de Mascarenhas must get to Dobrenica, or more than just one family will vanish. Kim hates time travel conundrums, and knows nothing about kids. How is she going to guide a kid born on Saint-Domingue, with whom she has nothing in common? From Jamaica to England to the Paris of the early 1800s, Kim and Aurelie travel, sharing adventures and learning more about Vrajhus, the Blessing, and the Nasdrafus than is known in Dobrenica's modern times. Along the way to wedding bells or annihilation, Kim makes a shocking discovery.... Critic Reviews: "Smiths story moves along at a pleasant pace. The period in which the novel is set is more than interesting enough." (RT Book Reviews) "Revenant Eve works on two fronts: as a terrific time-travel thriller and as a Dobrenica entry (see Coronets and Steel and Blood Spirits). The mentor and the mentee are fully developed so that the trials and tribulations of both seem genuine.... Fans will relish this exhilarating thriller while newcomers will find this a fine taste of Dobrenica." (Midwest Book Review) "Recalling The Count of Monte Cristo and The Prisoner of Zenda in plot and theme, this cross-world fantasy/romance should appeal to YA and adult fans of the genre."

I do like books for young people this one seemed for some one to young. Also not fond of first person stories do not reject out of hand. What do you think your next listen will be? Something on wish list or a sci fi book that comes out soon What does Jessica Almasy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I am not a expert voice is pleasant she did nothing I found unpleasant. What character would you cut from Revenant Eve? None it was back ground and stile If I new how to make me connect to a book I would writing them. Any additional comments? If at all possible start with the first book in a series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/One-Land-One-Duke-Audiobook/B00A461B30 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Like the other books in this collection, I was really looking forward to reading this book. But to me the ending was a bit weak especially when the next book takes place four years later. I had just finished the next book before doing this review, and like it much better. Don't get me wrong I liked most of this book it's just the ending I wish was a little better. Aletto and his sister Lialla, return to confront their uncle bringing with them the three outworlders and the near-thurka Davhin along with more friends picked up along the way. Their uncle gets more desperate and vicious, trying to stop them from making it back to the fort. Further exploring the magic and culture of this alternative Earth. Great book This was the third book in the sixth book series. Ru Emerson is a great author and I have enjoyed all her books. I wish people still wrote like this This is a reprint from the time when authors still took pride in crafting their work and had to impress a team of editors before they could get published. It's a real world, inhabited by three dimensional characters. One of the best fantasy series ever written. Solid end A solid end. I like the way it resolves, not many books do that, especially after all the building. Enjoyable end to an enjoyable series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Divide-and-Rule-Audiobook/B009ZX5T86 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Silly little story What did you love best about Divide and Rule? it's quirkiness. About America adapts to being ruled by aliens. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Updated some of the outdated, not very PC attitudes regarding women. What about Mike Chamberlains performance did you like? Nothing in particular stands out. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It was more of a silly book than a "moving" book. Any additional comments? This is a story I read many years ago and wished I'd kept a copy of because it is so ... silly and simple. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Princess-of-Flames-Audiobook/B009R5VQJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. When I finished the books I found myself hunting for the next in the series! My kudos to Sean Williams for creating this universe!

He wrote primarily about the ancient Greek and Roman world, blending myth with romance and adventure. A reviewer in the Village Voice sums his work up well: "Swann's neo-romantic fantasies of the past are unique. He uses the stuff of myth but with twists and inventions of his own." In this tale of the time of Rome and the Celtic kingdoms, Swann tells the story of the retreat of the pagan gods and all their array of sprites and nymphs and little folk. Facing the ruthless practicality of the new religion that denies their very right to exist, the varied prehumans face utter destruction unless they can find a sanctuary beyond detection. This short novel tells their tale and that of two of their defenders, who follow the trail of the legendary immortals to the very waters of the Styx.

This was hard work to get through. The quality of the audio recording was one issue (too bass heavy and a little muffled). The story was ok but the performance was a bit sketchy. Certainly not one of his best stories.

Title: The House of Discarded Dreams Author: Ekaterina Sedia Narrator: Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Trying to escape her embarrassing immigrant mother, Vimbai moves into a dilapidated house in the dunes and discovers that one of her new roommates has a pocket universe instead of hair, there's a psychic energy baby living in the telephone wires, and her dead Zimbabwean grandmother is doing dishes in the kitchen. When the house gets lost at sea and creatures of African urban legends all but take it over, Vimbai turns to horseshoe crabs in the ocean to ask for their help in getting home to New Jersey. Editorial Reviews: Book lovers who enjoy fantasy will jump with both feet into the experience of listening to Ekaterina Sedias The House of Discarded Dreams, creatively performed by Robin Miles. While the basis of the story is of Vimbai, a Zimbabwean daughter of immigrants to the United States, finding an identity for herself that is separate from her parents and her African heritage, the story is that and so much more. Miles adeptly captures the impatience and irritation of 20-year-old Vimbai, an only child who would like nothing more than to live an independent life. Miles easily transitions between the terribly irked Vimbai and her parents, who are grappling with their own identities no longer Africans, though not quite Americans. Vimbais mother, a university instructor of Africana Studies, indignantly perceives condescension towards all that is African in her American experiences, while Vimbais father is a nurse beleaguered by the reality that nothing he can say or do will mollify his wifes dissatisfaction with life. When Vimbai attempts a separation from her parents by becoming the third roommate in a house by the shore, The House of Discarded Dreams spins off into a world that may or may not be of Vimbais creation. Nevertheless, Miles excels as she takes on the characterizations of Vimbais roommates, world-weary Maya and Felix, a loopy fellow with wild, dark hair that is, truly, a universe unto itself. Miles gives life to a croaky (from being stuck in the phone lines) yet highly rambunctious Psychic Energy Baby; a slippery, manipulative Manfish/catfish; but, most compellingly, to Vimbais Shona grandmother who has returned from the afterlife to guide Vimbai through the journey launched into motion with Vimbais presence in the house. Through Miles, Vimbais grandmother is a mellifluous, loving, African elder who reveals the layers in Shona legends Vimbai had been too young to grasp when her grandmother was alive. The tales not only explain the fantasy world Vimbai, Maya, and Felix temporarily inhabit but also begin to illuminate, for Vimbai, the unease and sadness with which her parents view their lives in America. As The House of Discarded Dreams progresses, Vimbai begins to accept the depth to which she is and will always remain African. Miless ability to voice convincingly so many fantastical characters allows listeners to lose themselves in the enchanted world Ekaterina Sedia has created in The House of Discarded Dreams. Tying together one magical scene after another, her narration encourages all to journey alongside Vimbai as she navigates her way through a shape-shifting beach house with other-worldly inhabitants. Through Miless extraordinary skills Vimbai and audiobook listeners are entertained by a wise Zimbabwean grandmother who cares enough not only to give us important life lessons through Shona folktales, but also to do the dirty dishes as well. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ekaterina Sedia) Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:29:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-House-of-Discarded-Dreams-Audiobook/B003X3UKLK thebookvoice.com 09:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ok, I liked "The Red Tree". I like it a lot thus, I thought I would like this book. Well, I was wrong. It wasn't horrible, it was just so moody, whiney and hormonal and then it got downright weird. I still am not sure what the premise of the book is. "... haunted by the ghosts of those she left behind 10 years ago after a confrontation against an unspeakable evil that left her shattered." I still don't know what this "unspeakable evil" is. And that bothers me because I usually love this type of mystery, where the author uncovers little tidbits of information from some long forgotten past until there's an 'oh my gosh' reaction from the reader at the end but I am left confused. I might have to listen to it again but honestly, I found that the narrator's little girl voice, used for the main character Niki, was beginning to seriously annoy me. So, it will be a long time till I want to try it again. Blah... Don't bother. This is one you'll wish you could get your credits back on. Hard to follow, no real direction. Tried to make it through an hour but couldnt. Dreadful I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed this story as the narrator Jessica Almasy ruined any attempt to listen to it. Her voice is horrible, and she has the most annoying way of speaking that it made trying to follow what she was saying almost impossible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Carpet-People-Audiobook/B0032N8U22 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Only a writer with a masterstroke of imagination could place an entire empire of goodies and baddies within the fronds of a carpet." (Daily Mail) Members Reviews: Terry Pratchett does it again Terry Pratchett is just what you need after a day of red tape. He makes the mondane funny. Carpet People lets you imagine the world we live in played out in the rug under your feet. Are we living in someone else's carpet? Maybe Fun! Terry again creates an imaginary world to amuse and delight us. This world could be under our own feet. We were able to figure out many of the dangers and monsters, but disagreed on the identity of the major threat to this carpet community. Practice Makes Perfect I'd heard good things about Terry Pratchett, and had a little knowledge of his work, bits of which I'd come across from reading "Scientific American" many years ago. So I decided to begin reading his works, taking the early ones first. Carpet People was originally written in 1971. Pratchett came back to it and re-wrote a lot of it, which was a good idea, because even after the rewrite, I don't find it an amazing read, particularly after hearing from so many people that Pratchett is a witty and capable author. The story is about tribes and animals living in a carpet (unsurprisingly), and of course there are parodies of everyday objects which impact upon this two-dimensional world. The characters are a bit basic, and the character development is little more than minimal. The plot is very linear and the surprises which occur are situations rather than sub-plots impacting on the main theme. Tony Robinson does a good job of trying to accentuate the (sometimes marginal) differences between the tribes and characters. From a humour point of view, there are a few vaguely amusing witty comments and some situations which brought a rather pained smirk to my face. In a nutshell, a slightly amusing fantasy novel. Pratchett was pretty young when he wrote this one. In no way will this slightly flat balloon put me off reading his other works. 3 stars... barely. Fun In the style of discworld and maybe for kids, but when it comes to Terry Pratchett read by Tony Robinson, you have a team hard to beat. The story is fun, imaginative, and the charectors are almost believable. Very sorry when I came to the end. fantastic!!! very much enjoyed,tony Robinson is perfect for the part a true Pratchett classic for all to enjoy https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dreamsongs-Section-5-Audiobook/B002VA97BK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

R. Martin Critic Reviews: "Fans, genre historians, and aspiring writers alike will find this shelf-bending retrospective as impressive as it is intriguing." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Hybrids and Horrors is a truly fun section of this book Hybrids and Horrors is a truly fun section of this book, and the section of Martinâs oeuvre closest to my heart. âMeathouse Manâ was not what I was expecting. This setting focuses on operators of crews of brainless meat puppets. I would have liked a little more corpse operator bits and less romantic lamentation. While structurally solid, with every piece building to the ending, it felt like the punch was pulled just a bit. I don't want punches pulled with potential Dangerous Visions. âRemembering Melodyâ was an uncomfortable view of the toxic relationships that we allow to curse our lives. It was also a fascinating viewport into the late 70âs/early 80âs high-power-party-cocaine culture. This section finally starts unmitigatedly kicking ass with âSandkingsâ. The full spectrum of reprehensible humans is on display while they channel the cruel divinity of the Greeks. This story evokes the psychological horror borne on cruelty, fear of the bogeyman, as well as entomophobia. Then to top it all off, The Maw is a monster birthed from the uncaring cosmos which only becomes more terrifying when driven mad by an uncaring god or when it adopts a primitive god consumption mythology. The ending is very evocative of âThe House on the Borderlandsâ and the creatures dancing around the house in the dream realm. And all they want to do is love. Or consume. Or both. This deservedly won a Hugo. âNightflyersâ was an interesting take on the ghost ship concept. I can see how it was made into a film, and GRRMâs screenwriting chops were applied here, as there are a number of truly cinematic scenes. The memory jewels reminded me strongly of those used in the Dying of the Light, but apparently these are not set in the same universe considering the remainder of the technology. The most fascinating part of this was the use of the Elder Gods as peripheral motivation for the story. They are giant, unknowable, gorgeous creatures of endless hunger traveling through space and are absolutely unconcerned with the incidental problems faced by the crew of this scientific expedition. âThe Monkey Treatmentâ had some truly horrific imagery, but the ending deflated the dread. Happy endings have to be used sparingly in horror, and this one felt less like a relief of the cessation of pain, and more a return to an indulgent past. Iâm not sure there was a lesson learned from all the torture. âThe Pear Shaped Manâ really wanted to show me his things. This tale of relentlessly passive obsession had tendrils of the supernatural creeping in at the edges. This is the modern slasher monster that stands on your lawn and stares into your windows, but instead of waiting for you with a knife, there is a fistful of cheese doodles and a moist lower lip. This deservedly won the Stoker for Long Form, with its uncomfortable creep towards thralldom and doom. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Coven-Master-Audiobook/B077PCR7P3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fun Fantasy Read for Tweens, Teens, and Adults I got this book in the mail on Monday morning and by Monday evening I had finished it. And now, on Wednesday, my 12 year old is halfway through. It is engaging enough for an adult, but simple enough for a tween. I love the way this book jumps from past to present tense and I love how it ties into the first book but can also be read as a stand-alone story. I so much appreciate that it is free of bad language and other adult content and can be shared with my kiddos. "Luke Coles and the Forest Assassin" is a delightful combination of fantasy, science fiction, romance, adventure, and mythology. It reads as a collection of inter-woven short stories spanning several centuries and a half-dozen countries, all without losing historical integrity. Its pages are filled with adventures as experienced by the crew of the legendary ghost ship Caleuche and shared from the perspective of is newest member, a magic mimic who exists to save earth and humanity from the evils that would seek to destroy them. In spite of a few typographical errors, this book has earned a place on my shelf among my favorites. It is definitely worth the read. Couldn't put the book down! Josh Walker has outdone himself in this next book in the Luke Coles book series. The story hooks you right from the start, and once again you are thrown into the beautiful setting and rich culture of Chiloe Island, where Luke returns during modern times, as he embarks on a new adventure! I was pleasantly surprised by a wonderful plot twist at the start of the book (not going to spoil it for you all!) This book is a great read, and I was unable to put it down! Now I'm anxiously waiting for the next one! Great second volume of the series. Amazing terror book. "Luke Coles and the Forest Assassin" by Josh Walker is the second book of the series "Luke Coles". The first book ("Luke Coles and the Flower of Chiloé") was an amazing book, an introduction to the characters full of action and paranormal creatures. The second book even exceeds it. The plot already starts with a race and a discovery. Flashbacks and different narrators place the reader slowly into every scene. We find out a bit more about the past of the characters. Walker answers some unresponded questions and makes you remember little details of the first book. We face new creatures, learn more tradition and mythology and fall more in love with the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Breaking-the-Skies-Audiobook/B0747XYN85 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A rich hybrid blend of sci-fi and fantasy packed with great characterization and world-building Evan Marshall Hernandezâs Breaking the Skies is an ambitious piece of work, especially for a more independent author. In broad terms, itâs a science-fiction war novel, opening its action with the final stand of a revolution set to end the reigning Queen on this planet. Hernandezâs heroes are largely on the side of the Queen for this novel, and yet Hernandez doesnât necessarily make either side noticeably better or worse than the others. Indeed, many of the bookâs pleasures come from the way it navigates moral complexity so well, establishing its heroes and villains clearly while letting everyone by fully realized, complex creations. More than that, Hernandez handles his action well, leaning both into the chaos of the war but also the morality of such violence, grappling with questions about who we ally ourselves with, the tactics we use in war, and humanityâs relationship with this alien planet. But itâs that planet that makes for the most interesting material in the novel, which leans more heavily into the fantasy genre and brings out the best elements of the novel. Not content with just having complex human characters, Hernandez fills his planet with several animalistic races, each of which has its own personality, culture, and approach to the world. Even more interestingly, Hernandez offers his own variation on Philip Pullmanâs daemons, pairing many of our heroes with creatures that are their partners and friends, which often tells you much about the people themselves. And Hernandez spends just as much time on these creatures as he does his human characters, investing them with backstories, culture, personality, and every bit as much richness as the others. The end result is a rich, well-realized novel, one with enough complexity to the story to keep readers satisfied while never neglecting the world-building and detail that makes a fantasy world come to life. Breaking the Skies definitely feels like the first entry in a series, with sections that feel a bit drawn out at times, and some pacing that could use just a little more momentum at certain points. The sheer number of characters can be a little overwhelming at times, even while Hernandez makes them all work, and it ultimately feels like the book could be a bit shorter and lose little of its strengths. And yet, itâs a solid book that I donât hesitate to recommend; its sheer imagination and solid storytelling, its great character work, and the fascinating world all work together wonderfully. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blood-in-the-Water-Audiobook/B072Q2PV4R Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Just when the insanely popular Lunar Chronicles looked finished, this piecemeal, but still quite weighty, book will pull [listeners] right back in." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Tales of Luna and Earth (some spoilers) The Lunar Chronicles are a series with lots of complexity and history -- whether the characters are from Earth or Luna, they have a lot going on in their lives. So it only seems natural that Marissa Meyer expanded her science-fiction fairy-tale series with "Stars Above," a collection of her short stories that fill in all the gaps of the characters' pasts -- and though readers of her series will know where each story goes, every one is a gripping little tale that fleshes out the wider story. Each of the stories focuses on a character -- some major, some supporting -- in the Lunar Chronicles universe, but several years before the events of the main series. They're in roughly chronological order, beginning with "The Keeper," and Michelle's struggle to care for and hide the Lunar princess in the basement of her farmhouse. Then there is "Glitches," where a small cyborg child is brought to live with her new stepfamily, only to be stranded with a cruel, bitter stepmother and bratty stepsister. And then there are stories for other characters -- Z, a boy torn from his family and forever altered into an elite, wolfish soldier for the Lunar Queen; Carswell, a wealthy young boy whose schemes and con games are interrupted by compassion; Cress, a young "shell" whose ingenuity causes her to be exiled into space; Winter's regret over the use of her gift prompts her to vow not to use it again, with terrible results; and Kai brings his beloved android to a simple mechanic's shop, with life-changing results. There is also "The Little Android," a bittersweet tale based on "The Little Mermaid," where a robot falls in love with a human. And there is a new novella called "Something Old, Something New," a tale taking place after the end of the series. Cinder and her friends reunite on Scarlet's farm for a very romantic occasion, and the cyborg has the chance to finally come full circle to where her journey began. It goes without saying that "Stars Above" is a collection that should only be read after one has finished the rest of the Lunar Chronicles, because it effectively gives away half the twists that take place in the series -- including the ending. While the novels are a complete story unto themselves, these short stories allow Meyer to fill in the cracks between her stories, exploring the characters at pivotal, life-changing points in their lives. For some, it's simply finding a new place in life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Walls-of-Knevermoore-Audiobook/B0713X3TZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For Gedrick, past his prime and days of valor, the coming war brings summons from Lord Rendell of Knevermoore, brother of his dead wife and no friend of the aging warrior. Gedrick thought his battles finished, but now the bloody horn is sounding once more. He cannot ignore the call. He is Gedrick, the Soulcutter, champion of Vitoria, wielder of the demon spear. One last time, the Dark Spearman marches to war. For Fel, denied his dreams of following in the footsteps of his heroic father by an impure bloodline, the coming war means nothing but the destruction of a nobility he despises. That all changes when fate crosses his path with Avera, a warrior maiden pursued by demonic creatures as she searches for a secret temple of mystics to aid her father, the Lord of Knevermoore, against King Mortegrim's host. Fel is no noble, no hero like his dead father, but fate seems to have other ideas. Members Reviews: Complete Surprise Where does Walls of Knevermoore rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? top ten What did you like best about this story? A plot that seemed to twist out of nowhere! You think you have an pretty good idea of what's going on and - WHAM - Grigor Weeks blows your mid. Awesome! What about C.J. McAllisters performance did you like? Actually, his voice took some getting used to at first. But it doesn't detract from the story. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Okay - I admit it . . . I cried once, maybe twice. But I laughed often. Great use of dark and light humor throughout. Any additional comments? The setting is medieval, the morals are shifty, and the characters are realistic. I can relate to every POV of every character in some way, and they all have their own flaws. Grigor has serious talent in crafting a world and believable characters. I believe he is an independent author, and maybe that is how he wants it, but I think it's a damn shame he hasn't had a shot a some of the big publicity offered by the major publishers. He has a number of short stories on Amazon, but they are not his best work. Maybe a shot at more name recognition? Doesn't matter, because I will support this guy for as long as he writes books, Walls of Knevermoore sent chills down my spine - in a good way. I am hooked. Forget the short stories and keep writing novels, Grigor. I promise to keep buying your books as long as you keep them coming. Outstanding! Which character as performed by C.J. McAllister was your favorite? Fel Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? Just a great listen. Enough action to keep you satisfied and enough surprises to keep you interested until the very end. Excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Finding-the-Raven-Audiobook/B071D6SS89 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Let me tell you that the novel description does not do it justice....it is so much more... The author successfully sucks you into the novel from the very beginning and once started it was a hard one to put down. Let me tell you that the novel description does not do it justice....it is so much more. A wizard and mastery of words, you can certainly tell that the author, Patty, researched well into the era, historical events, and setting of the book. With no lack of suspense, she successfully paints a very accurate and believable portrayal of the historic time. The characters are very well developed and there were definitely many alluded feelings, especially empathy. Rose and Julia were extremely likable for their strength, determination, and perseverance. I always love a strong female heroine. A few twists are thrown in, and there is quite a bit of action. The author is very talented in directing the reader to one way, and then throwing you off in a loop, keeping you constantly on your toes. If you love surprising murder mysteries with no lack of suspense, some romance, feminine connections, with a melting pot of emotions, youâll definitely enjoy this. Historical Fact + Mysterious Romance Many authors write fiction with a thin veneer of a historic era, but Finding the Raven mixes a thick stew of romance and magic with meaty in-depth details of the St. Louis World's Fair and the America of the Industrial Revolution. Clean and wholesome, suitable even for preteen readers but deep enough to enthrall adults, the novel contains references to fortune-telling, mysticism, and the afterlife. Highly recommended. Simply Captivating This is by far a very stunning and unique read. Its not normally a genre I would get into but this book actually captured my attention. Very captivating read as well as very historically correct. The whole book keeps you guessing and keeps throwing you situations and loops, so that you have to keep reading to find out answers. Very likeable characters and a very well written plot. The writer, Patty Dickson, has a way with story telling and draws you in. I will have to look out for other novels she may write in the future. Simply brilliant and inspiring. A Colorful Glimpse of American Life During the St. Louis World's Fair Finding the Raven is an unique and detailed view of a largely forgotten chapter of American history. The protagonists live under an archaic system of societal standards, particularly for two young, unwed women who become close friends. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Shadow-of-Alliance-Audiobook/B06Y1Z12MW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Five Stars You will learn of a sealed book, kingdoms, powers, war and alliances. Not my typical kind of book I'm not normally into the elven thing. But I was hooked by the third chapter and can't wait for the next book to come out! Five Stars I loved it can't wait for the next one to be released....

What made the experience of listening to The Tingee's Dungeon the most enjoyable? Theo Holland's performance. What did you like best about this story? The camaraderie between the master & his slaves. What does Theo Holland bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The impression of what different characters would look like through the voices he gave them. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Enjoyed it, but no extreme reaction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zombies-Audiobook/B01N5PBH0V Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The magic of the Equals is well thought out and interesting. What if those with power had absolute power and knew they could get away with anything? I totally believe that they would. The characters are well-formed with believable (if currently obscure in some cases) motivation, and I'm looking forward to finding out what they do next. Vic James is good at showing not telling and all the exposition comes naturally from the characters. There's a bit at the very end which I wasn't expecting and which made me happy and expectant. Good job. So, if you like alternative England with magic then I recommend this book. Much as I love London, it makes a change to have a northern industrial setting for parts of the story. I will definitely be getting the rest when they appear. One star off for being a trilogy so no resolution at the end. I like books with an overarching story but with a satisfying conclusion at the end of of each book. Or rather this kind of trilogy is fine if you discover them after they've all been written and can binge on the whole lot. What can I say? I'm a greedy reader and terrible at waiting. Avita Jay does a good job. Some of the accents are a wee bit generic but nothing that jars you out of the story and she is always consistent with characters voices. First in a trilogy Personally I always feel cheated when a story doesn't have any kind of conclusion and you have to wait a year or two for the next books to get the end of the story. If this frustrates you too you may want to wait till the full trilogy has been written. The publisher's summary leaves out the important fact that this is just the first book in the series which is rather naughty. Unlike the episodes of TV where the cliffhanger ending has you tuning in the following week, waiting a year or more for another book means I will probably have forgotten the story and consequently why I should read the next one. Otherwise it's a fun, and undemanding listen, with an interesting premise - probably more for the YA market. Great story with a good flow and emotional telling Loved this book, very easy to read and instantly felt a connection with the characters Dark. Distopian. Unequal. Skill Thoroughly enjoyed The Guilded Cage. The storyline interweaves an alternate British history against a background of magic, or 'skill' of some people. As I got close to the end I realised the book wasn't going to give me the conclusion I wanted and I was very pleased to find it is the first part of a trilogy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Gong-and-Cup-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01J28AMH6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sinbad Sails "Fourth" In These Fantastical And Weird Tales This highly recommended anthology of four stories is the fourth book in Airship 27's Sinbad series. These books have been a big hit with me - when I find out about them, I immediately buy them and they go to the top of my "next to read" list. The first tale has Sinbad searching for the Golden Fleece. This immediately conjures in some readers' minds the 1960s "Jason And The Argonauts" movie. Many "Easter egg" references to similar old movies are sprinkled throughout the story - a blue rose, from some of the "Thief Of Bagdad" movies; a clockwork owl, "Clash Of The Titans" of 1981; and many more. Since this Sinbad series of books is inspired by the Ray Harryhausen movies of the 1950s-80s, the author used "Easter eggs" to pay homage to Harryhausen's and similar fantasy films of that time period. The story itself is an exciting adventure with plenty of battles against human and magical creatures. The second story appears to be a common "rescue the princess" tale, but turns out to be very different when the princess is finally encountered. Another good action and fantasy tale, with a twist. The third story is a weird tale that sees Sinbad and crew sailing into the world of Lovecraft's Mythos. Sinbad agrees to sail a character from these Mythos tales to a mysterious isle where some Mythos-type creatures do not like being disturbed from their "sleep". This story has a very unique plot, with the combining of a Sinbad tale with the Mythos story elements that first appeared in the old pulp, Weird Tales, from the 1920s-30s. The last tale has Sinbad playing chess for his life with a captive woman of an evil genie. The loser must die. How can Sinbad save the life of both of them? A shorter story than the rest, especially appealing to anyone who plays chess. I highly recommend this anthology to those who enjoyed, and may still enjoy, the Harryhausen movies of the 50s-80s and other similar movies. And also to those who enjoy sword&fantasy tales in the Arabian Nights genre. Five Stars A great collection of stories that bring back the sense of wonder and adventure of the classic films. Five Stars Great read. Clever story and insightful characters. Definitely worth your attention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Snow-White-Lies-Audiobook/B01JFK99I4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good twist for a grown up fairy tale! What a twisted little web weaved here in Snow White Lies. I enjoyed the new spin on the more grown up version we have here. If you think you know the Snow White story you have no idea what you are getting yourself into reading this one. We start off with the ever elusive rich girl Snow White whom does run parallel in loving animals, but that is where it seems to end. She is quite snarky, and I really enjoyed her sass. We switch through past and present when dealing with this story. The author does a good job setting up for the very end. Yes, before you ask there are dwarves, however these dwarves are not very nice for the most part. Of course we have The Nameless Man aka The Huntsman. He is going through some trials himself trying to get past a few things so he can just live out his days normal. I will sadly say that him and Snow White did not have very much interaction with each other even though the whole premise was surrounding them both. There are also quite a few other players on the board in this tale. Without spoiling the whole thing I bet you can take a guess who they are. In all I thought the writing was fantastic and the story line very clever. 3.5-4 stars. I felt like a brain trauma patient when I finished it It's been months since I've read this book and I'm still completely lost in my head as to what the eff I read. I can't be the only one who is lost to the convoluted ending. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book. It kept my brain alert as it jumped back and forth from the past to the present to unlock the twisted secrets of the characters, but it only left me guessing and wondering where it was going. I thought for a minute I had finally figured it out. Nope. The ending didn't help a single bit. I felt like a brain trauma patient when I finished it, confused and not knowing what the heck was going on. Did I miss a pivotal piece of information somewhere along the way, will there be more? Toss me a friggin' bone! I NEED TO KNOW! Sigh. Great author. Imaginative script Great author. Imaginative script, and the covers are always top notch. Dark, Intriguing and Creative Five Star Read Snow White Lies is twisted. It is dark and immensely rewarding. When I first saw what this story was going to be about, I couldnât wait to read it. Miss (Snow) White, is the heir to a substantially large company called White Industries. Her income doesnât stop there though! She has other companies that make even more than White Industries does, allowing her to prosper as the most well-known face in the world who has connections with everyone, even the Seven. The Seven are a band of evil, corrupt, and malicious group of dwarves who work for the Queen. They have given their servitude and found an unnamed man who fits the bill of a perfect Harlotâs Assassin AKA the Huntsman, the number one target being Snow White. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Sicilian-Defense-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01J2829TA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A thought provoking story The Tattered Heart is not easy to get your arms around. As a fairy tale for adults, it is engaging and interesting as we learn, along with the heroine, how the fairy tale kingdom of Amaranyllis works. Of course there are kings and queens, princes and princesses, heroes and villains, fairies, and a very different kind of love story. There are some unusual aspects of this tale. Fairies and humans co-mingle and work together routinely. The princess is a damsel in distress but she must be strong, and the king and princes cannot rescue her. Perhaps every girl dreams of being a princess, but perhaps after reading Tattered Heart, they should thank God daily that they are not called to this life. On another level, I am compelled to think about this story as a parable for spiritual warfare in the Christian life. Perhaps that is not the author's intention, but the parallels are many. The reader who looks at it from this perspective may be wondering what lessons they might draw. Beautifully written Tattered Heart is the story of a lost girl who didn't know she was lost. She is plagued by a sense of restlessness and her when she is swept from her home and family, she is faced with discovering her true self. I never like reading reviews that tell me the whole story, so I will leave the description as simple as that. The story is written with poetry and deep emotion. The characters are relatable, believable and I found myself clearly feeling their emotions with them. They are faced with impossible challenges which reveal their true character. I am not an avid ready of the fairy genre but I was intrigued by the authors vision of fairy and their relationship to humans. I would recommend this book to any ready who enjoys beautiful writing, good character development and strong female leads. Fun read! While it was a bit tedious to read in the beginning (it was hard to follow), once you got through the first couple of chapters, it got so engaging, I was very disappointed when I'd finished it! As you got into the book, things that were hard to follow in the beginning got explained better and the characters were so well written that I found myself caring more than I should for them. I got transported to their world and lost in it! It was a fun read. Very different takes on fairys and fantasy reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Paladin-Audiobook/B01BO14I24 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Paladin Author: Kevin G. Summers Narrator: Nick Wescott Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 02-15-16 Publisher: Kevin G. Summers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Devastated by the loss of his older brother, teenaged Jared Weiss dons a mask and cape in pursuit of vengeance. He becomes The Paladin. Unfortunately, the real world isn't like a comic book, and wherever The Paladin goes, disaster is never far behind. Will Jared be able to avenge his brother before he winds up in a grave beside him? Critic Reviews: "Kevin G. Summers' The Paladin really stands out as worthy of note. The story focuses on a teenage boy who has no powers and decides to don a homemade style Batman suit to avenge his brother's death and rid his city of drug dealers. It's a fantasy every comic fan can relate to, as well as a deeply emotional tale of a young man's struggle to find himself and his place in the world. The story is also full of references to everything from characters like Green Arrow and Nightwing to Dungeons and Dragons, making it an even more fun listen if you're a geek yourself. Above all though, the story stays true to real life and evokes a great deal of sympathy for its protagonist." (Eric S. Brown) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kevin G.

Summers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Devastated by the loss of his older brother, teenaged Jared Weiss dons a mask and cape in pursuit of vengeance. He becomes The Paladin. Unfortunately, the real world isn't like a comic book, and wherever The Paladin goes, disaster is never far behind. Will Jared be able to avenge his brother before he winds up in a grave beside him? Critic Reviews: "Kevin G. Summers' The Paladin really stands out as worthy of note. The story focuses on a teenage boy who has no powers and decides to don a homemade style Batman suit to avenge his brother's death and rid his city of drug dealers. It's a fantasy every comic fan can relate to, as well as a deeply emotional tale of a young man's struggle to find himself and his place in the world. The story is also full of references to everything from characters like Green Arrow and Nightwing to Dungeons and Dragons, making it an even more fun listen if you're a geek yourself. Above all though, the story stays true to real life and evokes a great deal of sympathy for its protagonist." (Eric S.

Brown) Members Reviews: A Realistic Take on a Teenage Hero If you could sum up The Paladin in three words, what would they be? Realistic teenage superhero Who was your favorite character and why? The Paladin, since he's a realistic version of someone like Robin. What about Nick Wescotts performance did you like? He sounded young enough to be the character. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wanted to, but I wasn't able to. Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this story. Excellent audiobook I really enjoyed this short / novella sized audiobook. It's a wonderfully crazy tale of a teenage vigilante/superhero, who fumbles his way though various mishaps!! The bonus story is a well done story revolving around the discovery of a very rare comic by a teenager & some important life lessons learned! This makes a nice 'wind down' for the audiobook. Solid Short Story If you could sum up The Paladin in three words, what would they be? Realistic Hero Story What was one of the most memorable moments of The Paladin? The most memorable moments are when Jared has to make hard decisions while fighting the pain and grief of the loss of his brother. Just plain fun... What made the experience of listening to The Paladin the most enjoyable? I absolutely loved the pairing of these 2 stories. One story The Paladin is about a mixed-up kid still hurting from his brothers murder and who wants to make the world right, cause the cops certainly aren't doing it and with a little creative vigilantism he's looking for a way to get even. His plan make himself a hero just like in the comic books! Come on I'm not gonna tell you what happens, get the audible version of this book! Plus bonus the second story is about finding a rare comic book and what happens. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Groll-Audiobook/B01B3907RC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Groll Author: Jim Fanshier Narrator: Jim Fanshier, Full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-16 Publisher: Jim Fanshier Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: In the style of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, an every-man character travels to a land filled with mythical characters. It's an adventure story, with the main character, George Taylor, having to confront and befriend pixies, elves, fairies, brownies, giants, dwarfs, mimis, sprites, satyrs, and mermaids. But there is one character that is the most feared, and hated of all. The groll. A species that kills and tortures for the pure pleasure of seeing the pain they inflict. The tales of their evil are endless. It's a love story as George risks his life to break a spell and return the love of his first, and only girlfriend, Justeen. It's a humorous story with a sarcastic twist, as the mermaids, brownies and other characters have human characteristics that would make them fit in on Earth as well as the magical land of Negani. And, like Jonathan Swift, it's also a story with many symbolic references to the cultures of the day. There are dozens of creatures that Americans know (pixies, fairies, trolls, mermaids), some creatures are from other cultures and countries (adlet, mimi, will o' wisp, bahamut), and some are unique to this story (chameli, drakata). All are thrown on the most boring, nerdy person in the world, George Taylor. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jim Fanshier) Wed, 27 Jan 2016 20:59:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Groll-Audiobook/B01B3907RC thebookvoice.com 18:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great D&D style short A short style about a dwarf and his quest after exile. Good quick pace, loyal companions, dragons, treasures, and more. Would like to see more from this world. Great narrator as always. Never been disappointed in one of his performances regardless of the base material he is reading. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Good listen! I listened to this short book because I enjoy other works involving dwarves by Tolkien and Pratchett. It was well written and narrated. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. "Vargrom" was a great little fantasy short story. I really enjoyed listening to "Vargrom: Modrad's Exile." It was fantasy that I could understand. Some fantasies are hard to follow but this one was nice and a good listen. I liked all the characters and of course Modrad. My hope is that Kevin Hopson continues this adventure. J. Scott Bennett did a nice job with the narration. His voice was a great match for the story. I liked the way he changed it up for the other characters besides Modrads. This shows him to be a versatile voice actor with an excellent performance. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. Modrad's Exile Modrad's Exile is a fast paced and engaging book. It moves along nicely and the characters are well developed. The narrator does good job of bringing the characters to life. It has an interesting story line that kept my attention and had me interested in coming back to this world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Gathering-of-the-Titans-Audiobook/B01990CDWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Will an old Native American myth prove the key to salvation or to the end of life on Earth? Members Reviews: Too muddled Fantasy author Tess Noncoiré's latest novel is her biggest success yet, but all is not going smoothly for her. She's still mourning her late husband, Dill, who died in a hotel fire two years ago after a brief marriage. Then there's the pesky issue of demons. Right after Tess was widowed, a mysterious fever led her to a secret Sisterhood dedicated to fighting demons. Tess never fit in and was asked to leave, but the training has stuck with her -- along with her familiar imp, Scrap, who has become her best friend and who can transform into a weapon when evil is nearby. As Hounding the Moon begins, Tess saves a young Native American girl from a rampaging dog. When the dog and the girl keep reappearing in Tess's life, she learns that they have a role to play in a Lakota myth, and that Tess's help is needed to bring about a positive outcome. Meanwhile, she has to contend with her first romantic relationship since Dill's death, and with the revelation that her marriage might not have been quite what she thought it was. Peppered among the present-day chapters told from Tess's point of view are a number of "Interludes." These feature Scrap's point of view, scenes from Tess's past in the Sisterhood, or both. The storyline concerning Tess's grief, and her coming to terms with it, is touching and emotional. These are some of the best scenes in the book. If I do go on to read more TESS NONCOIRÉ novels, it'll be to find out what was really going on with Dill, as questions are raised but not exactly answered. The plot of Hounding the Moon is confusing at times, and the book is filled with scenes that don't do much to advance it. One example is the early scenes featuring Tess's eccentric family. I usually enjoy domestic scenes that lend a little warmth to urban fantasy's tough-girl heroines, but in this case, there's so much domestic stuff that the story grinds to a crawl for it. Another example is the many SF conventions Tess attends. I'm a con-goer myself, so I know cons are fun -- but it's hard to capture their charm in writing. Too often, Tess's con adventures feel like a recitation of the schedule: she goes to a panel, she goes to the dealers' room, she goes to a party, and so on. There's one con scene that worked really well, though: the filking scene at the end. "There's a Bimbo on the Cover of My Book" is a funny little ditty that spoofs cheesy science fiction and fantasy covers. I didn't understand some of the decisions Tess makes. For instance, Tess spends much of the book searching for the dog and the girl, but when she hears they're nearby, she... sits back down at her restaurant table and cracks open a book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ashes-of-Foreverland-Audiobook/B00ZSYA5DU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Or did. Now his son is dead, his wife is comatose, and Tyler is still imprisoned. But he planned it that way. The final piece of his vision falls into place when Alessandra Diosa investigates the crimes of Foreverland. Tyler will use her to create a new dimension of reality beyond anything his son ever imagined; a Foreverland for the entire world. Danny, living outside of Spain since escaping the very first Foreverland, begins receiving mysterious clues that lead him to Cyn. They are both Foreverland survivors, but they have more in common than survival. They become pieces of another grand plan, one designed to stop Tyler Ballard.

Never knowing what is reality or the dreamworld kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I also just loved the ending! Now I have the short prequel to read next, then I'm off to explore Bertauski's other worlds (I mean books) but I'm pretty sure I know which series I'll read next. Tony is a new favourite author! Yeah! Home Run! After reading Annihilation of Foreverland and Foreverland is Dead, I wanted the last book right then, but also didn't want the story to end. So when I learned that Tony Bertauski had written and released Ashes of Foreverland, I bought it immediately. And then, like with all good things, I waited a full month before I opened it. That was Tuesday, I didn't put it down until I finished it early Wednesday morning. That is how good it is. The story itself is a roller coaster of mysterious circumstance and intrigue. It's rare for a book to keep me guessing until the end, but the layers the author built were too many for me to unravel. Even when I thought I had it figured out, BAM! He'd land another surprise hit. When they finally started to unfold, it was shocking but felt so very right. Ashes certainly doesn't disappoint as the end of a series go. In fact, reading Ashes of Foreverland has made me want to read the entire series again. It was definitely a home run! Loved it! I expected that this final book in the series would tie up some of the loose ends left from the first two books. Tony did that, plus much more. Iâm happy to admit that I wasn't a hundred percent sure of what was real in the story until halfway through the book. Even then, I guessed wrong about some of it. This is such a wonderfully devious and twisted plot, even more so than the other Foreverland stories. The ending is not at all what I expected, but itâs a satisfying conclusion to a great series. I was a bit surprised to realize that this series took place in the same universe as Halfskin. That made a lot of sense, so now I have to wonder if I missed previous hints in the first books. Devious writer, I tell you. If you havenât read Halfskin yet, you should. While Iâm sorry to see this series end, I very much enjoyed the way it concluded with this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Find-Me-Audiobook/B00YIPA6RU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Bit of a departure but well worth it Loved this departure in the series. Got to see a different side of three major characters. Love this series in general. Kind of a medieval space adventure with a little raciness added to it. Does it have flaws? Yes. Will it please everyone? No. I read a little of everything. Stephen King to the classics and I found it and the series an enjoyable read. I look forward to joining the crew of the Hawk on many more adventures. Three Stars This series has really taken a dive from its intriguing beginnings. Voidhowk - The White Lady - Lots of typos, sentence errors, etc. The story was good, though the ending seemed rushed. There were numerous typos and sentence errors that detracted from the book. Seems like in the rush to get this book out they relied solely on "spell check" to catch the errors, rather than someone actually reading the book first. Since "spell check" can be set to ignore all CAPS, one sentence began with the letter H, instead of the word, He. There were many instances where sentences had errors or the sentences were awkward. I'm starting to read the Lost Soul now. Hopefully won't have the same issues. very fun read of scy fy and fantasy adventure ok when I started this series i did not know what to think. It did take a couple of chapters to get into the book but became a really fun read. a very unique way to look at both types of writing. The author blends the story very well and keeps you entertained nicely. you have humans, dwarves, elves, magical constructs and more. With sailing ships in space it can get pretty wild. A good blend of magic and technology makes it work. if a person is looking for a new twist in scy fy and fantasy adventure this could be the read for you. Good Read Interesting series. More fantasy than science fiction, but it in an interesting twist on the whole genre. Lots of action.

I am not into dystantopia but I decided to give this book and try and let me just tell you that I was very surprised. There's just so much more to this book. The story that unfolds between Rachel and David had my romance interest peaked. (Which is huge for me) And one of my concerns going into this is that I wouldn't be able to truly grasp the world created by the author but that wasn't an issue at all. The picture painted by Torres has me feeling as if I was right there the entire time. So in short, I HIGHLY recommend this novel to EVERYONE. It is an awesome read that I thoroughly enjoyed! Seriously guys, five freakin' stars! A very good book. This book was good. Iâll be honest it took me a bit to get use to it being told in first person (Rachel and Davidâs). At times in the beginning I wanted to throttle Rachel but sheâs 16 and being wishy-washy and indecisive is excepted. With that aside I really did enjoy this book once I got into it. I was intrigued to find out more about the futuristic world fully controlled by the government and its technology (Iris). In Restricted Renegade kids are introduced to Iris around the age of 10 and are basically totally reliant on Iris. Its crazy scary how much that mirrors our current reliance on technology and itâs equally scary to think how easily the government can take control over a country and make its own mandates like in this book. Thank god for the Restricted Renegades. I enjoyed watching David and Rachel fall in love throughout the book and I rooted for the RRâs as they fought against the RCC to regain their country. I can't wait for the second book. Really enjoyed it! I usually don't ready many science fiction novels, but I was compelled to try this one out based on the description. Admittedly, it was a long read, but a pleasant one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Man-with-the-Iron-Heart-Audiobook/B00SLPURMC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was a great "read" from start to finish! Took a little getting used to the Scottish narrator but this is a fun exciting mashup of Lovecraft, Pulp, Hellboy, and Norse Mythology (some of my favorite things). Can't recommend it enough for anyone who enjoys listening to a good fast story. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed. Another win for Nastos! I've become a big fan of the non-stop action and modern fantasy written by Mat Nastos. Man with the Iron Heart is a great 'what-if' story that explores the obsession the Nazis had with the occult. They are battled by Scottish soldier McAndrew, who is thrown into a situation far, far out of his depth along with the mysterious Donner Grimm, a giant of a man imbued with the power of Thor and armed with an ancient blade of power in service to the All-Father. Vikings and Celts Vs. Nazi necromancers and their unworldly, unholy creations...

August Starling, a decadent (and dead) crime baron, has a plan for Point Vestal because the magical nature of the town is a haven for sinners fleeing judgment for their crimes. And the only residents who can stop him are newcomers to town: a defrocked Episcopalian priest and a talking cat, who is fluent in seven languages. The Off Season is an effusive meditation on the nature of the fantastic, by a writer the Atlanta Constitution calls "a lasting voice in modern American literature." Cady, winner of both the Nebula and the World Fantasy Award, has given us "a consummate yarn, told with many digressions and anecdotes that combine with folksy humor to create a tall tale suffused with pathos and melancholy." (The Seattle Times) Members Reviews: Very Violent - Very Suspenseful Open Season is very suspenseful and well written. The book is incredibly violent. I had read warnings before reading it about the violence, but the warnings (at least in my mind) seemed underrated from what I had read. SO be warned... it is very very violent. The violence is understood based on the nature of some of the characters. The author is pointing out the true nature of man and what man can do to another human being, Overall, I could see Open Season as a horror movie, but I'll need a few months to let the images in my mind disappear. The last half of the book- I could not put it down! incredible horror fiction at it's best Jack Ketcum delivers a home run. i was glad to have picked -up th euncut authors edition. if you have only read the previous (negotiated ending ) edition. do yourself a favor and pick this up. on the strentgh of this book, i 've devloped a big jones for anytihng Jack Ketchum. including Offspring,Red, Lost, The Woman, and all of his hardbacks and collaberations i 've been able to locate. I am not Sam also is a tremdoouly disturbig read form the master of horror. i cannot understand why Showtime when they aired their 2 year series Master of Horrors series, did not include Jack Ketchum to make an episode on one of his short stories.(they'rwe damn good stuff) Evil Jester comics just released their premiere issue .it includes an illustrated version of'The Box.(my favorite Jack Ketchum short story) that would have made an incredible episode for Masters of Horror) any new horror antholgy released on cable (FXX,Cinemax, FX, Showtime, etc.) should include Jack Ketchum stories they will not be sorry. Dallas ,i really like the interviews the Lee, and youself did on the special effects on the Header dvd. great stuff. i can never watch that film too many times at least twice a month. Fast-paced Thriller I'm sorry to say that I only recently discovered Jack Ketchum, who obviously has been around for awhile. He's a masterful writer with a great style. I'm not a fan of over-written books with redundant padding, and Ketchum's prose is beautifully lean yet detailed. Packed with action and suspense and cleanly structured, it's no surprise that several of his books have been turned into films, although most of them are extremely hard-edged and psychologically disturbing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Mystery-Prince-Audiobook/B00RB0C5SW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Mary Waibel is a master of spinning fairy tales In this reverse Cinderella tale, a ball is held in order for Princess Zoe to find a prince to marry. With all the princes of the nine kingdoms to choose from, she finds herself most interested in Tristan, who unbeknownst to her is a mere bodyguard standing in for Prince Rand. Unable to give Zoe his real name, Tristan must settle for giving her a magical device that will lead her to her true love. Will it take her to Tristan and what will the consequences be if it does? Mary Waibel is a master of spinning fairy tales, and THE MYSTERY PRINCE is no exception. I love how the gender roles are reversed in this twist on the Cinderella story. I'm not always a fan of when characters fall in love at first site, but there is such a sweet scene between Zoe and Tristan when they first meet that they had me buying into their instant attraction. As the stakes rose, I was rooting for these two to find a way to truly be in love and to find a way to make it work. Another winner from Mary Waibel! Like I said I was so full of hope when I picked up this novella. The gender-flip promised to be an interesting spin on an old tale. I wish it lived up to my expectations. My issues with this novella stem in part from the writing and in part from the plot itself. The writing holds nothing new or interesting. Word choices are cliche and the language used doesn't set the tone for a fairytale. In terms of plot, there are a few interesting pieces here and there, but those are rare gems. Like I said, I truly wish I could say I enjoyed this piece. It just didn't click for me. but it was really predictable and boring. Extremely simple plot I was excited for this book, but it was really predictable and boring. Extremely simple plot. I was disappointed. A Light Read for a Good Sigh This novella grabbed me with the concept. It's a sweet romance with a fairy tale feel and a couple great characters. I was reminded of Ever After's Leonardo da Vinci by Nor, and loved Princess Zoe's tenacity. Clean, sweet, and short. A short and sweet twist to the Cinderella tale Tristan is uneasy about impersonating Prince Rand during a masquerade, but since the prince is ill, the king commands him to do so in order to win the hand of a princess. As a bodyguard, Tristan does not think he'll make a good impression, but Princess Zoe falls for him as fast as he falls for her. Though he cannot give her his name, he gives her a device that will allow her to find her true love. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Exiled-Audiobook/B00PQVOTMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The abductor is cunning, always one step ahead, and the only clue he leaves behind at each scene are the brutalized corpses of black swans. When the brothers' investigations finally converge at a farmhouse in Central Scotland, they catch a glimpse of where the girls have been taken, a place both far away yet close enough to touch.

Many thanks to Chris Barnes @ChrisBarnesVA for the opportunity to listen and review my first William Meikle @williemeikle book. I enjoyed it immensely, I really wasnt sure what to expect as I only read enough of the summary to know I was interested in finding out more plus the note from Chris which said: This is a Scottish book, by a Scottish author, read by a Scottish narrator featuring Scottish characters so it had to be great, right? William grabbed my attention immediately and I was drawn in by the Granger boys depth of character from the off. A copper (John) and a hack (Alan) pressed back together to investigate a string of missing girls who are only linked by the broken carcasses of black swans left at the crime scenes. Unconditionally they take on the unasked responsibility to make sure another child doesnt go missing at the hands of who knows what. Our heroes are set to struggle against the unknown, against the authorities, against the powers of a dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in a far off realm. We are introduced to a host of characters that are well devised and developed within the fast paced powerful plot. I loved the way they interacted with each other and how we couldnt easily work out who was on the side of good and who was riding with the black cob. I really wasnt prepared for the level of horror we would be subjected to, but the refined method of subtle introduction allowed me to develop along with it within the storyline, understanding and accepting its place within the text. This was also my first listen to Chris and I was very impressed with his audio style, he brought the narrative to life and his Scottish accent added weight and authenticity to the characters and story line. Having lived in Fife for a couple of years in the late eighties his brogue transported me back to that now (for me) far off land. His inflection, intonation and enunciation added a warm-hearted contrast to the dark words we were hearing and I thoroughly enjoyed his most accomplished performance. I highly recommend this superb piece of work, I havent read the written version but would urge you to listen to it if you have the opportunity as the narration really brought the piece together for me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Death-House-Jam-Session-Audiobook/B00NNW3KHM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I couldn't listen to the audiobook because the narration sounds like it's coming from the bottom of a trash can. It's tinny and awful. Ten seconds in I traded headphones in case that was the problem, then listened to another book.

Title: Gates of Rome Subtitle: TimeRiders, Book 5 Author: Alex Scarrow Narrator: Trevor White Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-14 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of TimeRiders: Gates of Rome, the fifth book in the TimeRiders series. Read by the actor Trevor White. Liam O'Connor should have died at sea in 1912. Maddy Carter should have died on a plane in 2010. Sal Vikram should have died in a fire in 2026. But all three have been given a second chance to work for an agency that no one knows exists. Its purpose: To prevent time travel destroying history... Project Exodus: A mission to transport 300 Americans from 2070 to 54AD to overthrow the Roman Empire has gone catastrophically wrong. Half have arrived 17 years earlier, during the reign of Caligula. Liam goes to investigate, but when Maddy and Sal attempt to flee a kill-squad sent to hunt down their field office, all of the TimeRiders become trapped in the Roman past. Armed with knowledge of the future, Caligula is now more powerful than ever. But with the office unmanned - and under threat - how will the TimeRiders make it back to 2001 and put history right? Book five in the bestselling TimeRiders series by Alex Scarrow. Ancient Rome gets a time travel makeover! Members Reviews: Not My Favorite in the Series but a Great Listen When I read the printed edition of this book, I skimmed a lot. I am not a big fan of Roman history and I couldn't stay interested in it, but LISTENING to the story was so much better! Trevor White is such a great actor/reader that I was ready to hear the story and was able to catch many clues about the past and future books that I missed in the first read. Lighter on plot but a fascinating entry for fans! I honestly don't know how Alex Scarrow manages to keep each new Time Riders book so fresh! Once again we have a fascinating period of history being disturbed with catastrophic consequences to our present. This time it is the age of Caesars and gladiators - Ancient Rome 57AD. Historical fact and clever fiction are combined as always to give a fascinating glimpse into the time period with dire stakes imagined for the whole world if Emperor Caligula's reign had continued unabated! The Time Riders face their toughest challenge yet as a new, terrifying enemy leaves them cut off from their equipment with no way home! Now if I'm being completely honest, the central Rome story does fall a little flat especially in its resolution. The real magic of this entry, the fifth of eight so far, is what it contributes to the overall plot of the series that has been slowly unravelling. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blood-Heat-Audiobook/B00DB9O3NW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There were several moments but I have to say the end of the book and can't wait to get my hands on book five. I hope we don't have to wait as long for it. Any additional comments?

Ravynheart and/or S.A. Archer and S. Ravynheart ? I will not buy another book in this series. Has Cursed turned you off from other books in this genre? This is a Genre that I enjoy reading I will continue to explore new authors. How could the performance have been better? This story needed professional story tellers, the authors inexperience showed. The male author sound a bit tinny but that may not have been his fault, I don't know the particulars of producing an audio book. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? I was disappointed in this story. The over all concept was fine but the story was too short to really allow you to get to know the characters, and while the story told the basic history the relationship of the different factions they didn't really take the story anywhere and the set up for future stories fell short. I'm curious to what happend to Ricco and the other fey with him but not enough to buy the next story to find out. Also, this story begins as though they will have a strong female lead but she doesn't show enough experience in her field and is quickly enslaved which isn't interesting in and of itself. Any additional comments? The authors seem to be inexperienced writers and would benefit from a (possibly new?) editor/representative. disapointed What disappointed you about Cursed? to short, just stopped. the authors knew the story but I think if they had an actor read/act, I could have gotten into the store more What didnt you like about S.A. Archer and S. Ravynheart s performance? to flat didn't sound like they were the people, or different people https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fuse-Audiobook/B00C27TXAM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If it wasn't for the emotional scenes towards the ends in Cap's chapter Vines then this would probably be a four star book for me. The goose bumps I got from that were 5 star worthy. A good second book I really enjoyed this book, I found the first a little off in places but this one flowed a lot better, there were a couple of things which I thought were odd but overall this read really well. It was fantastic seeing the relationships blossoming and there were some references back to the old times which kept it realistic. I do feel that there was occasionally too much time focused on inner thoughts and feelings but then events and other characters were rushed to fit in and that was a shame, but that said I could not put this down and was desperate to find out what was going to happen next, am looking forward to the final book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Riese-Audiobook/B00BTL0CG6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After falling in love with the SyFy show I had to get this book which I thought would be a continuation of the series. However, I was in for a few surprises. Here is my take: 1. This book is a two layer alternating prequel to the SyFy series. The first story, told in the even numbered chapters, occurs in the past when Riese is 16 years old. The second story, told in some of the odd numbered chapters, takes place in the present time, 10 years later, leading up to where the SyFy series start when we meet Riese on the run. This works well in giving us a broad view of the back stories involved in the development of the characters. Riese at 16 years old living in the Palace is a totally different Riese than the 26 year old we meet during the SyFy show running thru the woods. Those buying this book for a continuation to the SyFy series will not get that here. However, as a prequel, the story is still really good and pulls us deeper into the world of Riese. If you like the SyFy series then you will enjoy the story in this book. 2. This book is written for Young Adults (12 years+). I was not expecting this. As a result the writing style and dialogue bits are tremendously simplified to cater to preteens. I'm upset that they decided to do this since the subject matters of genocide, war, famine, racism, religious extremists, beheading of children, torture, etc... are a big part of the story. The simplified preteen writing style does not match at all and, by keeping the storytelling simple, many character developments are not properly conveyed in the writing. Antagonists, much like on the SyFy show, remain one dimensional as a result. I especially wanted more development of the Herrick and Amara characters since their back stories and motivation are the driving force in the SyFy series. 3. Dreadful dialogue! This follows from the writer dumbing it down. I am not sure who he had in mind for his audience but most 12 year old kids in today's world of iPhones and school shootings can comprehend adult situations without the need to over simplify every verse to them. The dialogue, or rather the scenes with extensive and expository dialogue, are generic and cardboard-ish. In one scene Riese is talking to her mother and Amara and it literally reads like 3 of the same personalities. There is no dialogue distinction between the 16 year old Riese, her 25 year old cousin and her 40 year old Mom. They all sound like bickering teenagers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Central-Park-Knight-Audiobook/B00BLAJAPO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His specialties include lost civilizations, arcane cultures, and more than a little bit of the history of magic and mysticism. What his contemporaries don't know is that in addition to being a scholar of all these topics, he is also proficient in the uses of magical artifacts. Knight receives a chilling message from Tian Lu, a former lover and an agent for the Chinese government. Years ago, they made a frightening discovery at an archeological dig when out of the depths rose a living, fire-breathing dragon. Now, the dragons are waking from their slumber before their scheduled time. And one particularly diabolical dragon is set on eliminating the others and taking over the world. As civilization plunges into panic, Knight, Lu, Knights 17-year-old techie intern George Rainert, and an untrustworthy dragon ally must use all their resources - magical and otherwise - to stop the destruction before its too late. biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.

Members Reviews: Worth Reading At Least Once It's a great book. Certainly entertaining. It definitely made me feel a whirlwind of emotions for the protagonist. fast shipping Haven't Read the book yet and I know the writer his books are awesome. so I am looking forward to reading it fun pulp fiction After he saved the world twice, the Men in Black abduct Brooklyn Museum curator Piers Knight, his former girlfriend Tian Lu, and museum intern George Rainert. They are taken to Washington DC where agents are putting together a defense plan against an expected dragon invasion. They already have an assortment of weapons, mundane and magical to throw at the ancient menace. However, whether they use magic powders or missiles, the enemy is extremely powerful soaring through the skies while tossing fire at targets. Thus the Feds added Brooklyn Knight to the team as he has a proven success rate against impossible odds vs. invincible adversaries. This is an over the top of the Coney Island Cyclone and the Brooklyn Bridge pulp fiction in which readers, who ignore plausibility, will be caught up in the frantic pace to save the world several times in one thriller. In fact boomer fans will sing the theme song to Mighty Mouse as Knight "comes to save the day". Faster than a subatomic particle in a super collider, readers will enjoy Central Park Knight as the hero and his two cohorts struggle to prevent global extinction. Harriet Klausner Professor Piers Knight, a dowdy and somewhat eccentric scholar The cover and back copy of C.J. Henderson's Central Park Knight can be boiled down to a simple equation of awesomeness: Indiana Jones + Dragons = YAY! Needless to say, I go fairly excited. Unfortunately, the story did not manage to reach my hopes. You've got Professor Piers Knight, a dowdy and somewhat eccentric scholar who works at the Brooklyn Museum and, in addition to having nearly limitless access to arcane artifacts from past cultures and untold knowledge of their every facet is also quite proficient at the use of these sometimes magical artifacts. After saving the world twice in not quite so many months, the good professor finds himself faced with the reemergence of Dragonkind in the world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/To-Catch-a-Wolf-Audiobook/B00BDAGZ64 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another excellent adaptation Where does The Revenge of Frankenstein rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I found this audiobook to be a very interesting take on an old story, it would rank quite highly in the books I have listened to so far. What did you like best about this story? The story is very detailed & atmospheric as well as being brilliantly executed. Which character as performed by Sean Barrett was your favourite? Sean Barrett performs all of the characters really well but especially Victor Frankenstein & Alan Lang. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No it took two sittings as the book is just under eight hours. Any additional comments? Sean Barrett's delivery on this story (just like 'Twins Of Evil') is absolutely superb, he has one of those sort of voices that is perfectly suited to the olden tales. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-White-Mists-of-Power-Audiobook/B00B010XZ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Really looking forward to Future Books Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would absolutely recommend this book to a friend. I enjoyed the base premise of a boy who had been "lost" and came back to reclaim his power. What was one of the most memorable moments of The White Mists of Power? It would have to be the revelation of the bards identity at the dinner. What about Gildart Jacksons performance did you like? I liked that the readers voice was not obtrusive. It made getting into the story much easier. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blind-Gods-Bluff-Audiobook/B00AWBFBOM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Billy Fox, a small-time gambler on a losing streak, has more than enough problems on his hands, owing too much money to some very impatient people. But when he rescues a blinded stranger from a swarm of bloodthirsty fairies, Billys life gets a lot more complicated.... Seems the stranger is actually a powerful local god who is involved in a high-stakes Florida poker tournament against various supernatural challengers. And with his eyes currently missing, he needs somebody to take his place at the gaming table. Before Billy knows it, he finds himself playing against the likes of an ancient Egyptian mummy, an unbearably seductive succubus, a mechanical man, an insect queen, and a cannibalistic beast-man. And not just cards are in play; magic, bloodshed, and cheating are not only expected, theyre encouraged. Everybody, including a sexy satyr-girl with her own cards up her sleeve, thinks that Billy is in way over his head. But Billy is a born gambler and, when the chips are down, he might just change his luck for good! Blind God's Bluff is an outrageously addictive urban fantasy that will keep you listening until the very last hand. Editorial Reviews: Billy Fox is in a tight spot. He owes money to the wrong people and now he has found himself in a high-stakes poker game with the likes of a mummy, a succubus, and a mechanical man. Billy is going to need more than just luck if he is going to find his way out of this one. Adam Verner's performance fits Billy's brash persona perfectly.

Is there anything you would change about this book? it needs to be more in depth. If you don't like poker then this book will not have a great deal of appeal. The world seems interesting and it would have been good to see it better developed. If youve listened to books by Richard Lee Byers before, how does this one compare? I like a lot of his warhammer novels and this is definitely a whole different type of book. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narration was good and matched the pace of the story. I think I would not have finished the book whereas the narrator adds enough o make the audio book worth finishing. Was Blind God's Bluff worth the listening time? It was, but I wouldn't make it a priority to listen. Fun, entertainment The cover of this book doesn't really represent the content in my opinion. This was a fun urban fantasy book, about a gambler who ends up biting off more than he can chew when he stops to help an injured homeless man who turns out to be a god. He ends up getting involved with a supernatural poker game where the stakes are incredibly high. The story was fun, enjoyable with a likable main character, and I liked the narration. The only problem I had with the story, is that the bad guy was just just awful, and there just wasn't much reason for him to be that much of a jerk- especially when Kindness would've gotten him so much further. I'm looking forward to the sequel- hopefully with the same narrator! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-House-Across-the-Way-Audiobook/B00AQ2QMC2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Quite possibly the worst book ever.. Would you try another book from Adam Graham and Andrea Graham and/or Scot Wilcox? No not ever! What was most disappointing about Adam Graham and Andrea Graham s story? Christian theme and poor writing ! Would you be willing to try another one of Scot Wilcoxs performances? Perhaps but i would want to research the book more carefully You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No Any additional comments? None i would share with polite company Has potential, doesn't really live up to it I would like to give this a 2.5 star review because I think it has potential. But it needs a good story editor and it needs to figure out what it is trying to do. Conceptually the idea is good. What if the world biggest comic book fan was given super powers. Lots of good science fiction potential. I am not a huge fan of making the guy an idiot, but I can deal with that. There are some issues with story telling because a lot of the story feels like filler and some of the filler stories introduce problems into the plot (like how are there other superheros). The biggest problem is probably not a problem for everyone. But as a Christian, I am not a fan of Christian fiction that knock you over the head with salvation and then all the problems go away. I don't think that is how the real world works. This story is a superhero story and then makes a hard right turn into a divorce story of the superhero because he is a dufus that hasn't actually paid any attention to his wife and family and refuses to talk about the fact that he is now a superhero. Of course she is going to leave him. And the anti-marriage divorce lawyer also just minimize the potential of real problems instead of making the story better. I like the potential. I picked up the second book in the series and I think I will read it eventually. But it was not a great book. My full review is on my blog. Religious propaganda in a super hero shell. What about Scot Wilcoxs performance did you like? Scot Wilcox really tried to make this entertaining. He changed his voice for each character, and really went over the top with Powerhouse. Was Tales of the Dim Knight worth the listening time? I'm torn about this. This could have a been a fun yet stereotypical super hero story. It didn't take itself too serious and had many funny moments. What I didn't like was how they put all the religious propaganda into it. The book is broken into chapters with the superhero vs some bad guy, and about half of them end up involve religion, going to church, or something else along those lines. No where in the publisher's summary or the author's website does it mention anything about religion and how large a part it plays in this book. Please don't take this to mean I'm anti-religion as I consider myself a religious person. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-End-of-the-World-Audiobook/B0091IO4X6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a compelling little novel from an author whose work I had not previously encountered. Since reading it (in only two sittings), I have subscribed to his blog, and will definitely read more of his work. As a fine example of magico-realism, this takes as its premise the state of uncertainty that is the post-mortal realm. From the outset, it is witty and compelling, moving seamlessly from ridibulous to sublime. It also succeeds in carrying a philosophical message while deftly avoiding "preachiness". If you like Flann O'Brien, you will love this. Excellent narration, and the author seems very pleased with it, which is always a good sign! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Tel-Aviv-Dossier-Audiobook/B008669BJQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonder filled Imagine a collaboration between Jorge Luis Borges and Harlan Ellison: apocalyptic, recursive, and ultimately mind opening. Neil Gaiman recommended it and I'm glad I took him up on the recommendation. If they made a movie or a Game of Thrones type series of from it (which for the authors' sake I hope they do) they will get it wrong but maybe, just maybe, right enough that others will find the original. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ocean-of-Dust-Audiobook/B00K0SBSCQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great adventure :) My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!! ***I won this audiobook in a giveaway this summer :) The cover is definitely intriguing and I like her eyes and the sky especially :) My son and I have been listening to audiobooks on the ipod I won over the summer since school started, and this is one of the audiobooks that I won with that ipod. I wasnt sure what to expect when we started listening to this book since I didnt look at the blurb prior to listening; I just knew it was YA and therefore okay to listen to with my son :) Graeme has an amazing imagination to come up with a world like this where sailing on an ocean of dust can happen. I especially like how Lissa comes from a place more like our world with sailing, so we get her reactions and impressions to help us see what is going on. The descriptions and storyline was awesome, and I really cant wait for more in this series. And according to his website, there is more coming which will make my son extremely happy because even he wants more, and he is harder to please :) Lissa is such a strong and curious girl. I dont know if I could be as brave as her given her kidnapping and subsequent troubles. She exhibits all the characteristics I would want my son to with being kind, loyal, and courageous. Im annoyed with some of the characters thinking that because Lissa is a girl she is useless and cant be intelligent. Thankfully, most of them redeemed themselves in the end for the most part. I really want to see what happens in Lissas next adventure with Branda. I recommend this book to any adventure lovin soul from middle schooler to adult :) Imaginative but depressing Ocean of Dust is a tale that follows a young girl in another world named Lissa. She is kidnapped and forced to work as a galley girl aboard a ship sailing across an ocean made of dust. She is mistreated and disrespected most of the time, but she eventually realizes she has a magical connection to the ocean. Lissa has an insatiable curiosity and often puts her nose where it doesn't belong, bringing her no end of trouble. She does learn some secrets that threaten the crew, but she doesn't act on them quick enough to make any difference. While the book tells us she has a perfect moral compass, she seems to lack wisdom or prudence. Thus, much of the violence and troubles she encounters were her own doing. Speaking of violence, this book has no shortage of it. In fact, I would say it is over-the-top and completely overdone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Tendeleos-Story-Audiobook/B00JKNK1E8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Infinity Plus) " the Chaga sequence [is] Ian McDonalds marvellous panorama of Third World plights and possibilities." (SF Site) Members Reviews: A companion to the CHAGA novels Originally published at Fantasy Literature. Tendeleos Story is a short companion novel to Ian McDonalds CHAGA series which is about an alien tropical plant-like life form that drops from space and lands in several equatorial regions of Earth. The first CHAGA novel, Evolutions Shore, follows Irish reporter Gaby McAslin as she documents the biological, societal, and political changes that occur in Kenya as the Chaga descends from Mount Kilimanjaro and overruns Nairobi. In Kirinya, the second book, Gaby joins the people who have decided to (or been forced to) live in the Chaga rather than fleeing northward to safety. Meanwhile, a subplot follows Dr. Shepherd, one of Gabys lovers, who is studying and trying to figure out the purpose, mechanisms, and creator of the Chaga. Tendeleos Story does not further the plot or give us more insight into the Chaga. It is simply the story of one girls experience growing up in Nairobi when the Chaga came. Tendeleo is a pastors daughter. When the Chaga appears near her village, she knows that theyll eventually have to evacuate. Her father plans to stay till the end, to minister to his village, but as more and more of his congregation leaves, the family struggles to make ends meet. Tendeleo does what she can to help her family, even when it means getting involved with gangs, corrupt officials, and the American Embassy. Eventually Tendeleo moves to England and falls in love, but she discovers that shes been touched by the Chaga. In contrast to Gaby, the heroine of Evolutions Shore and Kirinya, Tendeleo is a likeable protagonist with a story thats compelling all the way through. (It helps that its short.) For this reason, I actually liked Tendeleos Story better than Kirinya. While I was disappointed that I didnt get to learn more about the Chaga, I realize that it was never Ian McDonalds intention to explain it to us. He leaves us with a wonderful sense of cosmic conjecture which, to my speculative fiction-loving self, is perfectly fine but is, to my scientist self, slightly disappointing. If McDonald does have answers to Dr Shepherds questions, I hope hell reveal them in another CHAGA novel someday. But if he doesnt, Im okay with that. You could read Tendeleos Story directly after Evolutions Shore, if you like. Chronologically speaking, thats where it belongs. Once again, I listened to the amazingly wonderful Melanie McHugh narrate Audible Studios version of Tendeleos Story. Its 3.5 hours long. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Day-Watch-Audiobook/B0072JDR2K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very entertaining This book is very entertaining and I could not stop until I had read the whole book. I loved the mix of characters and the plot of the book. You can listen to the book whilst basking in the sun in the park or whilst taking a walk. Absolutely beautiful. Great series I love fantasy and mild sci-fi books, and own the paperbacks of this series. But with lots of long journeys this year I decided to get these audio books for in the car, to help keep me interested and awake! Great story, the whole series is great and would recommend. The narration is good, once you get past the odd (to me!) change from narration in an American accent, switching to a Russian(ish) accent when speaking as a character. But then I'm from the UK and it just seemed a little odd to me. Good narration though, and good quality audio. The Day Watch: Watch, Book 2 Although I loved the films and would recommend them to any syfy movie lovers, yet again it is a case of the book being so much better than the films. For a start this book is split into three separate (although linked) stories and to do them justice each would need a film of its own. I found this book slightly harder to get into than the first and third, largely because it is often told from the point of view of the dark ones. However it is this willingness to write a universe in which characters of vastly different natures are all represented, where the reader can sympathize and in some ways understand the motives of the `bad' as well as the `good', that make this series so brilliant. The character progression that you get throughout the books of both the dark and light characters, as they learn, grow and develop their beliefs really sets the stories apart. The series is written beautifully with wonderful imagery, imagination and plot. The narrator is, in my opinion, one of the best I have heard doing both male and female voices and varying accents equally well so that it is like listening to a play with a full cast. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/An-Occupation-of-Angels-Audiobook/B0058JOC34 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(SFRevue.com) Members Reviews: Interesting premise that never gets fully explored. Tidhar substitutes fight scenes for character development. Interesting premise that never gets fully explored. Tidhar substitutes fight scenes for character development. Good campy fun A bit cheesy at the end however was a nice good spy-like romp of fun. If you have fun playing those thinly storied FPS computer games such as Doom 3 and Quake, it's got that kind of campy feel to it. The only problems I had was keeping the characters straight and keeping the settings in mind. The main character herself has three different aliases. I'm also glad this book isn't one I wanted to throw across the room. It doesn't like to use shock language like other books would. Though, the comparing human/thin = good and large/obese = bad did give a good record scratch while I was reading. A fast paced spy thriller / alt history / dark fantasy...with angels! This novella reads sort of like a dark fantasy/alt history story mashed up with a bit of James Bond, and John LeCarré's Cold War spy stories... with angels. There's a British secret organization sending agents around the world on secret business, spying on other countries and agencies, and also keeping an eye on the archangels who arrived at the end of WW2. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Voice-of-the-Gods-Audiobook/B0032N8UUO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amazing series Amazing book, by one of my favourite authors. never stops thrilling. Would highly recommend a read! Disappointing I usually absolutely love Trudi Canavans books but I just felt let down by this last installment. The book was much shorter than the previous in the series, and a lot of the big stories and characters I thought were going somewhere just seemed to evaporate! More on the audiobook side, the narrator was changed which normally I wouldn't mind too much if both were good however a little consistency in pronunciation would go a long way - I felt like the whole time I was listening I would correct the narrator every 5 minutes! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Johnny-and-the-Bomb-Audiobook/B0032N4Z9Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I hope they continue, the characters are wonderfuland believable. Narrator Reads... SLOW I wanted to like this audiobook- afterall the subject matter is right up my alley. Too bad the narrator sounds like she's on downers. Each paragraphs takes her five minutes to read and she takes long gasping breaths in between each sentence. No wonder this is 15 hours long! Would be better with a more lively narrator. very touching If you could sum up Grayheart in three words, what would they be? very touching sad What did you like best about this story? that Dion and Aranur had the two kids besides the one adopted What about Karen Whites performance did you like? great voice and wonderful at giving the characters 'voice' Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? yes, made me cry almost all the way thru Best Scientific Books If you're looking for adventure, danger and action, this is the book for you. Even though it's science fiction, somehow Tara K. Harper managed to make it real unlike some other Sify books I'e read before. It sounded so like Earth with a few different things, it seemed like it could really be possible that we would do that in the future. There are wolf walkers that can communicate with wolves through their minds walking plants and other fantastic things. It would be great if audible could have the last book of the series. I can't wait to see what will happen next. Awful I was very dissapointed in this book! Too much long drawn out description of every feeling, every twinge of the girl. Maybe it was the reader, but I didn't even finish it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pimpmaster-Arturius-and-the-Lake-Bitch-Audiobook/B075V9Y4CC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Talking dogs, pimp slapping, & so much more Another great installment of what I am now calling the Merlin addiction. My name is Nicole and I have a Merlin addiction. I love these funny adaptations so much because the narrator is so passionate I cant help but get sucked in. If youre looking for a quick lift to your day, something to put a smile on your face in a short amount of time, you need to start this series. Super short but my gawd so very entertaining OK, if you havent liked the previously ones you wont enjoy this one either. As for me I freaking love them, I find them so very entertaining. Sure some parts can be a little crass but I think thats why I enjoy them so much..LOL Urban King Arthur - Part 3 talking dogs ... still twisted, still W.T.F. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review The last chapter so far. I received episodes 1-3 in exchange for fair reviews. The author told me additional episodes are in the works. I really wanted these to be a retelling for adults rather than a adult humor with a thin veneer of being based on this material. It is really not, but it's a set of comparisons used for comedic effect. well... Out of all 3 this one was a bit better. Did I like it? Nope. still not my kind of story line. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Flight-of-Red-Sophia-Audiobook/B0759TQPZR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

While drowning their sorrows in The Blue Lagoon, they witness a performer pull off a feat they had not thought possible. Members Reviews: A beautiful little tale Sophia Loren Chambers is a saxophonist but not of the typical variety. The Blue Lagoon is packed tonight with people there to see her unusual and uplifting performance. Franco, the MC, and Lewis, an aspiring comedian, both know that Sophia is on her way to greatness. Its a great set up for either something magical and little wonderful or something a little spooky to happen. I really didnt know which way this story would go. If youre looking for a short tale with a touch of the paranormal to it, this is a great pick. Sophia enjoys being on stage and sharing her small gifts with others but shes also very down to Earth. Shes not pretentious but nor is she star-struck naive. Theres definite mystery about her and her saxophone. I was caught up in this aspect of the story. Im not a musically talented person myself so Im sure I missed out a little here but not much because Sophia chooses to play a piece that takes talent yet one that is familiar to most Americans. Even though I have no idea how difficult it is to perform this piece, I could still hear it in my head as the story carried on, which I really liked. That was perfect backdrop for the rest of the story. By the end of the tale, I had no doubt that Sophias star was on the rise. This is a beautiful little story that ends on a high note. I received a free copy of this book. The Narration: Raquel Beattie was the perfect fit for this story. She sounds like a woman who is sure in her talent. Beattie also had a great male voice for Franco. Beattie captured the nuanced emotions of this short tale the hushed expectation of the crowd, the uplifted spirits, Sophias own bitter sweet memories of the origins to her saxophone. Great narration all around! Its Short and Sweet!! It seems at first that Sophia could be an actress, or the ancient terminology if actress which is akin to being a prostitute. She seems to be a very popular entertainer, and by the tone of voice used in the audiobook version, there is no doubt about that. Since its a known thing in her world that people will buy tickets months in advance to see her perform. But that guess came from the first few minutes, since it sounded like she was known for her beauty; which she was of course, but not in that way, she has a natural beauty to her. But not just that she also had a natural talent in playing one of the jazziest instruments known to mankind, the saxophone, which if I heard correctly her father gave to her as a gift. And the sound that cane out if her instrument was nothing short of baring her soul to her audience. I have to say I love the reference from her middle name Loren, which was inspired by Sophia Loren, who was, and is still being called one if the most beautiful women ever in this world next to Elizabeth Taylor, and Raquel Walsh. My other favorite reference from this book/audiobook is the name of the tavern, The Blue Lagoon. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zandernatis-Pre-Destination-Audiobook/B072NZ7FWB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In 1962 a cache of ancient urns was discovered in Antarctica dating back tens of thousands of years. They contained writings proving our ancestral myths and lore are actually rooted in the history and culture of a pre-glacial utopian civilization.... Zandernatis - Predestination sets the scene and describes the opening of the most fascinating story contained in these texts: "The Song of Gorin", an epic poem describing what really led up to the fall of man in Paradise.

After learning of this series, and that it is much more than a fantasy fable, I was enthralled and blown away. Zandernatis gave validation to a dream I had about Antarctica nearly a year before learning of these books. In the dream I remember viewing a map of Antarctica that had several territories on it with very odd names, including one grayed out area in the middle which was labeled 'Radioactive Anomaly Zone.' Then in the dream I was an orb of pure consciousness, and I remember floating around the warm tropical paradisiacal land, enjoying exploring the warm sea shores, and floating out along what is now the Northern Peninsula. After reading the Zandernatis books I have concluded that this vivid and life changing dream was actually something of a memory of my previous existences on what is now called Antarctica. In the same way the Zandernations themselves have recollection of their past lives, many people have reported memories of past lives on pre-glacial Antarctica in conjunction with reading Zandernatis. What I found most satisfactory of this book is the past life and reincarnation aspects of it, getting a first taste of magic and mystery of The Song of Gorin, and learning about the different aspects of the cradle of civilization. A Challenge For Your Worldview Zandernatis â Where Legends Were Born, Volume 1 â Pre-Destination There are few books that so quickly manage to get the reader to suspend belief and then open the mind to the possibility that there might be a new view of history and the world, but Zandernatis, Volume 1 is one of them. As a new genre, called meta-realism, which is part history, part fantasy, and part metaphysical, it is a captivating read. If you donât know anything about the genre, it is easy to believe the story really happened. The book is based on the 1962 Vostok Expedition to Antarctica. From there, it goes on to tell the story of the discovery of 21 ancient urns buried in the ice with scrolls inside. As the scrolls are translated, they tell of a civilization that lived tens of thousands of years ago on Antarctica when it was farther north and how they lost their high levels of consciousness. In this first volume of a 3-volume set, the story unfolds along two lines â life in ancient Zandernatis, and life in the modern world where scholars are arguing about whether to share the news of the discovery. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Time-Is-Relative-for-Wavering-Loyalties-Audiobook/B071JBZ52F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Soul of the World Author: David Mealing Narrator: Rebecca Hamilton Format: Unabridged Length: 24 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: As the fires of revolution rage.... The city of New Sarresant simmers with discontent. Civil war looms as the Crown's authority is challenged by revolutionaries. Sarine, a young street artist, only cares about surviving - and staying one step ahead of the law. Yet her hidden powers will draw the attention of both royalists and rebels, and soon she will have to decide whose side she is really on. And chaos spreads across a continent.... On the battlefields, General Erris d'Arrant must lead the armies of New Sarresant against its rivals in the south. Yet the enemy seems to know her plans before she even makes them. Erris needs to find out how, but the truth will be far darker than she could have imagined. Three heroes must rise or the world will fall.... In the forests, Aruk'Jur wields an ancient magic that keeps his people safe. Yet the prophecies that have always guided his people have become corrupted, and war between the tribes seems inevitable - unless he can find a way to prevent bloodshed. With its gripping action scenes, vibrant characters and imaginative magic system, Soul of the World is epic fantasy at its very best - a stellar debut from a major new talent. Look out for Blood of the Gods, book two in the Ascension Cycle, coming May 2018. Critic Reviews: "Compelling characters and a unique magic system. Mealing does a fabulous job with the intricate world-building and leaves the reader wanting to get their hands on the sequel."

(Space and Sorcery) Members Reviews: Awesome story and amazing characters! I really enjoyed this book. I liked every main character and loved the perspectives of each one. I highly recommend this book as I enjoyed it more than any book I have read in a long while. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. I am really looking forward to the next book. A Debut Author With A Lot of Potential I have to be honest, I'm a little conflicted about how to rate this book. There is a nearly even divide of good & bad here with the good coming out a nose ahead of the bad. Here we go with a "Pros & Cons" review, as that seems to be my go-to with 3 star books. The writing takes on a beautiful, French-influenced style, but is oddly constructed & tiresome to read. Soul of the World is written in a way that causes my inner narrator to stumble all over the page. She tends to do that a little bit anyway, but in particular I found myself going back to reread sentences way more than I am comfortable with. A couple peculiar, recurring word choices combined with an occasionally odd sentence structure had me feeling a little like I was reading a translation. The author's profile says that he speaks French, which may explain where some of the unfamiliar phrasing & language structure come from. Now, this may not be a problem for everyone who reads this book, but it was for me. That being said, I really enjoyed the French influence where naming conventions are concerned. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Areh-Audiobook/B06XFYGTBX Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Action sequences need work especially battles. Her body guards, the best of the best need a lesson from Jack Reacher as they a pretty rubbish. And she gets beaten up way to much. Still the ground work is there for a good sequence of books. Not sure enough work on the matriarchal society has been done. It just seems it's a swap of roles rather than a thought out view on a future society run solely by women. Surly a society not based on equality of all types is a backward development and could be looked at more. Any weakness in the story is made up for by the reader who is vey good. batch slapped will awesomeness ...like hon solo, this protagonist is prone to shoot first and ask questions later. but unlike hon solo, she is sharp. .. and she has green hair. these books are sooooooo awesome. . my favourite part is where she compares the weight of a child with that of her gun... oh and the technology... the smartie is the most original and plausible future Sci Fi tech I've read about in a long time. as for the narrator... it too some time to get used to her accent... but after an hour I was used to it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Queens-Gentleman-Audiobook/B01MYA3KCX Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Queen's Gentleman Subtitle: Whiskytown, Book 1 Author: Guy New York Narrator: Bryce Chadwell Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-17 Publisher: QNY Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: As a Gentleman, Finn's job is to sleep with the highest ranking and most beautiful nobility in all of Whiskytown, learn their secrets, seduce their daughters, and make them smile and laugh throughout all of it. Of course, on occasion, his clients also include old married couples, toothless Duchesses, an awkward aunt who is being left out of her inheritance but deserves something nice, and possibly a palace guard or two who are going through some things right now and just want to explore their options. But when Finn gets called to the palace for an incredibly discreet liaison, he quickly realizes he's in over his head. While he knows he should be paying attention to who his clients are, politics just really aren't his thing. Especially when there are pretty people to seduce, lots of good whisky to drink, and of course his best friend Brochan the thief to hang out with.

Members Reviews: In a garden of nightflowers, pick a lily As always, Michael Thomas Ford delivers a deftly-penned and darkly-rich story. The intermixed illustrations bring a dark, archaic Rus feel (appropriately) to the story while Ford's signature wit and tone weave a story that is both timeless and wholly original. You most certainly don't want to miss this novel. Five Stars Awesome book. Well deserved accolades it has gotten. A Marvelous Fairy Tale Lily is a marvelous fairy tale by author Michael Thomas Ford. The elements of a fairy tale are all present - magic, a young adventurer, the rescue of a victim, an evil adversary, even a fairy godmother. But the characters that occupy these roles are unexpected and freshly viewed. Lily, a young girl who can see the death of others, is taken from her home to a traveling carnival. Her homeland of simple, straightforward magic, is disrupted in a world of subtle tricks and misdirection, led Brother Silas Everyman, a preacher with questionable goals. As much as I always enjoy reading Ford, I was also quite taken with Staven Andersen's black and white illustrations. They felt both very medieval and contemporary-horror, with their exaggerated body shapes reflecting sins and graces in the tale. The combination provides a rich and frightening read. Ford pulls the fairy tale trope apart like the cotton candy Lily eats - changelings and fortune tellers and Baba Yaga and even Old Scratch himself show up in the story, creating a new world that is as dark and gruesome as any Grimm Brothers' tale. And like a Grimm story, Ford's manages to take us from darkness to light through the simple magics of innocent love. I recommend this book to readers of fairy tales, especially those who seek the terror and darkness in order to slay the monsters who lay in hiding there. Carnival of Deception âOn the morning of her thirteenth birthday, Lily kissed her father and knew he would be dead by nightfall.â Thus begins the coming-of-age story of Lily, who has always lived happily in a seaside village with her mother and her fisherman father until his death changes her life. Like other central characters in fairy tales, she is given magical gifts (from her late father) and tested by an antagonist, the witch Baba Yaga from Russian folklore. When Lily is unable to foresee the death of the witch, she asks: âAre you death or life?â The witch simply loses her temper, and tells Lily she is ânot ready for Babaâs game.â However, Baba Yaga is intrigued by the âwild magicâ in Lily, and thinks: âSuch a girl could be very useful. Or dangerous. Possibly both.â The witch decides to follow Lily in her journey beyond the safety of childhood into the dangerous world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/demiGod-Part-II-Audiobook/B01M22I621 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Strange Grellnot noises! You know, when you have a strange creature that you don't know what it is, how are they going to sound, and how you as a listener know the creature will be engagingly dangerous?..I always prefered creepy scene chewing villains..I came into the story in book 2..but it was clear that Bad Things where going to happen, if Key couldn't figure out what to do! Thanks! Bridgebreaker Any additional comments? Overall an interesting, creative and entertaining story. I enjoyed this installment much more than the first book. The narration flowed much more smoothly and only added to the overall enjoyment of the story allowing me to concentrate more on the story without being distracted by the narration. Magic, suspense, elves, unusual creatures, intrigue, alternate world, magical "bridges" and more. The Bridgefinders are basically the defenders of Earth from the Slyph an evil magical entity from the "Echo World". In this installment things were not as predictable as in the first book. There were new characters with many more twists to the story. In this book you find out much more of the history surrounding the Bridgefinders. They not only have to fight outside evil, but an evil within. There were a couple of times the story stalled a bit then picked up the pace again. Every time I hear Grellnot, I cant help but picture him looking like Gollum Trenton Bennett did a really good job with the narration. Nice voice, easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken. Nice even pace. Great character voices. Even the female character voices were good. He was able to bring the characters and the story to life through his narration. I would definitely listen to other books he narrates in the future. They need to have him go back and re-narrate the fist book in the series. It would make a HUGE difference, that would definitely be beneficial to the author. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fallen-Audiobook/B01ITQZ5L0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The narrator is distracting! I had trouble understanding this narrator. I stuck with it and listened to the entire book but the narrator does not in enunciate many words. It wasn't just me. My daughter tried listening to eat and she made the same comment. I hadn't even mentioned it to her. I don't know if I would have liked the book better if there was a different narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Emperor-of-the-Eight-Islands-Audiobook/B01H3TNEJO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Great Glimpse into What is to Come This is a really entertaining read and it helps to set the stage for Padilla's novel,Vibrations: Harmonic Magic Book 1. Numerous characters are introduced in this prequel and set the stage for events that will take place in the Harmonic Magic series. This novella has a good mix of action and dialogue and it helps the reader learn about some of the mechanics of the land, Gythe. This is also a complete story in itself, so though it sets the stage for the future, there is also a conclusion within the story. The only drawback for me was the sheer number of character introductions for the short work. It was tricky keeping track of everyone. The author's goal was clearly to set the stage for his future books too and I will look forward to seeing where those characters go. In this shorter novella, it was just a lot to take in at times. But the story itself worked and was certainly entertaining. As a nice bonus, at the end of the book there is a glossary of names and places, complete with pronunciations. I suggest picking this up and seeing if you like the author's writing style, then delve right in to Vibrations to see where the next events are headed. awesome characters, pleasure to what a outstanding story, Very well put together, awesome characters , pleasure to read https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Woman-of-the-Void-Audiobook/B01C4QG4Z2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Return of the "other" Green Ghost For most pulp hero fan, if you mention the "Green Ghost", they will think of the character created by G.T. Fleming-Roberts for Thrilling, that ran for about 14 stories in the 1940s. Here, we speak of an earlier Green Ghost. Created by Johnston McCulley, creator of Zorro, this Green Ghost ran for seven stories in 1934-35 in Thrilling Detective magazine. The Green Ghost is really former cop Danny Blaney, who puts on a green hood and gloves to fight crooks. We learn in the first story that Blaney was framed by crooks and lost his job as a cop, even tho a jury found him innocent. Though he fights crooks, he isn't much for cops either, because they think he's dirty. He battles a new crook in each story, and takes a portion of their loot. By day, Blaney runs a tobacco store. But clearing his name doesn't seem to be part of the plot, and only in a few stories does he target those crooks who framed him. Each story is pretty short and enjoyable. There are almost no secondary characters, we see nothing of his personal life and don't see much of his tobacco store except at the end of stories when he drops by. Otherwise, the stories are pretty much the Green Ghost going into action. He is similar to other McCulley heroes. You have the green hood, which is a more of a loose sack, and similar to the hoods worn by his other characters. But he's different in other ways. Being framed by crooks and turned on by his fellow cops, you'd think there would be an element of revenge, or atleast clearing his name, but there isn't that. The original stories were reprinted by Altus Press. Now, Pro Se Press has put out a volume of new Green Ghost stories under their Pulp Obscura line. This first volume has 3 new stories. As always with new stories of classic characters, I always measure the stories against how well they got the character right. Writing style is not that important, and I will allow for improvements, such as better villains, but if they make changes to the character and is motivation, then I will say so. The first story by Bobby Nash has The Green Ghost go after someone who has firebombed an apartment building in his neighborhood. Danny thinks it may be a scheme to buy up a whole block of property for development. Will he be right and can he put a stop to it? The next story is by Don Thomas. Crooks try to frame the Green Ghost for murder, and he has to clear his 'name'. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Neither-Here-nor-There-Audiobook/B01A93NHIE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Don't miss it Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This novel is an exciting, genre-bending exploration of young adult relationships and coming of age in a very creative "universe" constructed by T. Russel Jones. The setting is foreign enough to create the feeling of something new and unknown, with enough familiarity to draw the reader and the characters together. I am very much looking forward to beginning the next in the series later today. Who was your favorite character and why? So far, Ivy is my favorite character because she presents an experienced, much more than capable female role model for young readers. What does T. Russell Jones bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The author's narration is very well paced. She adds an element of character development through her tone of voice and expression of the characters feelings in a way that I would have provided for myself, had I read instead of listened. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Come along...to Neither Here Nor There Great first book! Overall, very nice listen!

It's thrilling and tear-jerking all at once. The book is quickly read and almost immediately totally absorbing. I'm not going to tell the story because Pat MacEwen did it so much much better than I. She took great risks with her choice of hero and really knocked one out of the park. Loved the New concept and Now I'm Hooked!!! I read the review and thought, WOW, and crippled boy in a wheel chair who somehow gets involved with Dragons. OK, I have to read this one and see where this one will take the reader. I found that the storyline was a bit slow to start but after the first few chapters, it took off and the story just took hold of me. Now I can't wait for the next one to come out. I love how, just in the first book, the young man and the young dragon have come together and bonded as a small family. How they have to work together for both of them to survive. Team work and how the dragons mother learns that not all humans are evil or just meaty bi-products. The story is at a place that, it now, has me wanting to read the next one Right Now! Coming of age This fantasy is totally satisfying. There is enough "meat" here, with marginalized teenaged (& well-developed) characters to give a satisfying read on plot alone. But the wonder of telepathic dragons, with very special mineral (coenzyme?) needs puts this fantasy nearly into the science fiction category (where I find the wonder and characters are often less satisfyingly developed). I would recommend this as a must read for anyone who likes fantasy, science fiction, or just a well-told story. Definitely not limited to young adult readers! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Medusas-Web-Audiobook/B0195GX2YK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Powers True to Form Once again, Powers builds a narrative around alien occult principles that his flawed characters desperately try to comprehend to save themselves from destruction. Nobody creates entities so removed from human perspective and yet so internally consistent as to be believable, despite how fantastic they are. The story, though, is ultimately about the characters and their faults, desires, limitations, and nobility. Powers at his best Tim Powers has a gift for convincing us, his readers, that vast complexities lie just outside the borders of the reality we perceive, and that regular humans occasionally stumble across those borders. But unlike many authors, who in similar trade leave us with darkness and despair, Powers so often comes back to nobility, courage, and love. His characters are often very much hurt or even damaged by their experiences, but they push ahead. Medusa's Web, like many of Powers' novels, starts introducing confusing and outre events, characters, and clues almost immediately; but Powers' gift is to make them just intelligible enough to keep you reading, digging, and putting the pieces together, all while upping the stakes. He especially excels at hiding (in plain sight) the resolution of key plot points until late in the novel, where they suddenly look obvious in retrospect. It's one (but just one) of the reasons why Powers' novels are so re-readable; it's only on the 2nd or 3rd time through that you see how neatly everything was laid out before you from the very start. Highly recommended. This is one of his better written books and pretty damned creepy. I've been reading Powers for a long time now. This is a great book, I think one of this better ones. The characters in this book - they're weird, they've believable, and they're not SO interesting or developed that the book drags or feels over-written or false. They just normal, idiotic, weird, people that are crystal-clear in their personalities. The "trick" of what's going on in this book, the thing that's out of place, it's very well introduced in layers, and then peeled off layer by layer until you're filled with a sense of satisfaction and the sense of "oh sh&t" at the same time.

Members Reviews: A remarkable book for all ages Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I feel in love with this book. It was truly a work of art. I loved how the story was told and the narration was wonderful. What was one of the most memorable moments of Of Sound Mind? When she buys the "home" Lucy is staying at. What about Linda Ropers performance did you like? It was a superb performance. She really made the story seem real. It was like if your grandma sat you down to tell you about her life. Excellent choice going with her for this book she brought the tale to life. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? A gripping story of the life a girl with special powers Any additional comments? I LOVED this book. The book itself was told as a tale from and older lady about her life since she was a child. It was very gripping and had me interested from the very start. I listened nonstop until the end. I couldn't wait to find out what had happened next. She told her tale of her life and a bit about her family. With her family brought or a certain family member brought her trouble...and so the gripping story of her life starts, of family, loss, love and happiness. It was truly a remarkable book for all ages and sexes. My husband loved the book as well. Of Sound Mind What did you like best about this story? Jorja takes us along on her journey from childhood through her adult years. Some profound issues are explored here, such as the challenges of not fitting in, school bullies, controlling adults, and just what it means to be sane. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook An Incredible Story! I loved this book and thought it was great. I like anything paranormal, so it was right up my alley. The narrator did an amazing job and I loved her voice. A GREAT STORYTELLER! Any additional comments? I thought this was a fantastic story that kept my attention. The narrator's voice was perfect for this type of novel and she keeps you in suspense. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pandaemonium-Audiobook/B015NL4Q1E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The action is fun and fast. The constant conflict and banter between the characters keeps the pages turning even as they narrowly escape one disaster after another. Five Stars our name is McCallan so this is especially great. Sequal to Desdaemona Not as interesting a book as the first. Desi must deal with the consequences of her act of betrayal at the end of the first book. Predictable and not as dark as the first. Great sequel This is a strong sequel and, of course, it leaves the reader wanting more. I certainly hope a third book will be coming. I enjoyed the narrative from Desi's point of view. Rather disappointing Interesting story that gave better background on Desadaemona, but she just was not interesting as Jay's story in the book Desadaemona. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Weird-Audiobook/B0134F3ZA4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But maybe it isn't? Members Reviews: A short enjoyable listen As always, another great listen from Julie Elizabeth Powell. She has such a creative mind and it really comes out in her books. I loved the narration as well. It really added to the story. Not many authors can tell a full story in such a short period of time but I've learned from listening to her other books that if anyone can do it Julie Elizabeth Powell can. The story was just under an hour but I came away feeling like I've listened to a whole story. I can't wait to move on to part two. Good for all ages. Weird story, but good characters I was not sure how I felt about this book. On one hand, I don't think this book is my normal cup of tea, but I did find that I cared about the characters and was drawn into the story by them. I like the short-story genre, especially if it is written well and is able to come to some sort of conclusion. Even though this book is part of a series, each book contains its own adventure, so there is a sort of conclusion. I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by Alan Weyman. Again, I'm not quite sure how I felt about him as a narrator. He pronounces his "R's" as "W's", which irritated me at first, but eventually didn't bother me as much. Despite the speech impediment, his voice lent itself to a very vivid picture of the character. A fun lunchtime break! Henry Ian Darling talks directly to the reader via a journal entry or such in this short story. He likes to collect odd things and sometimes those odd things give him a small adventure. In this story, hell need the help of his second wife, Clara, and his ghostly friend Bret. We learn early on that Henry had a massive heart attack after his first wife died. They brought him back, and with a passenger of sorts. Bret is the only dead person Henry can see and hear. Bret has no idea how it happened either. When Henry met his second wife, Clara, he decided to not keep any secrets from her and so far that is working well for both of them. Now the three of them have a quiet, if rather eclectic, settled life. That is until Henrys oddities collection brings them something from the other side! Cue classic horror music maniacal laugh! I really enjoyed this story and I find its a little hard to say all the reasons why without getting spoilery. So if Im a bit vague, its because I want you to explore this story and discover all its goodies yourself. First, Henry is an adorable old geek at heart. He was geek before there were computers and their was only tinkering with bits and bobs. He loves his oddities and his den is covered with them. The entire story is told from his point of view so we get to see how his mind can ramble a bit and take unusual turns, but thats all for the best as it turns out. Hes also quite fond of cliches and he doesnt mind pointing them out and poking fun at them either. Then he also gets a little snarky under stress, and what worthy hero doesnt? Right away, I really liked Henry and wanted to adopt him as an uncle. This story had some surprises for me. First, I wasnt too sure who Bret was with his disfigured face. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Clockwork-Fairy-Kingdom-Audiobook/B01245KDVE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

To escape it they will need to destroy it. Myron enters the Jonesbridge Industrial Complex as a worker, a prisoner, commanded to harvest the scant resources that enable the powers that be to continue waging an unwinnable war. When Sindra - a fellow prisoner and a spirited fighter - joins him at the salvage line, he finds a new reason to live and to escape. Even though any attempt to leave will lead to execution, Myron and Sindra plan a daring escape. But when a guard is found murdered, and Myron is blamed for the crime, it appears they will not even get a chance to attempt to fly over the gorge that separates Jonesbridge from the rest of the world. It will take everything Myron and Sindra have merely to survive their brutal overlords. It will take even more to set them both free. As their world changes, Myron and Sindra work through the Jonesbridge underground, meeting a mesmerizing cast of characters - dangerous survivors bent on destroying Jonesbridge once and for all.

(Peter Tieryas Liu, author of Bald New World and Watering Heaven) Members Reviews: a story about poverty, slavery and despair Jonesbridge is in a secret location, a place where the slogs are kept in subhumanconditions, working twelve hour shifts and watched 24 hours a day by the called ghosts. The story is set more than 200 years in the future, after the Zealot War, which started with what looks like an enormous EMPpulse. The slogs in Jonesbridge are instructedto protect the Alliance with their work, and try to salvage spare parts from a dead old world. They are fighting against the Eastern Bloc over the land that could still be worth it and radiation free. Myron and Sindra are the main characters in this story, two slogs decided to escape their destiny and try to pursue their dreams. Most slogs are captured as children, making this easy to condition them. Myron was hidden by his family until the age of seventeen, which helped him to gain knowledge inaccessible to most slogs. This is a dystopian / postapocaliptic story from the ones at the bottom of the society's point of view, the slogs. This is why we are told very little about how the world works, and what were the exact events leading to the current situation. This is mainly a story about poverty, slavery and despair. People enduring inhuman conditions, without the possibility to dream about a different life. They are reminded every day about the importance of their jobs to win the war, but I do not think they even know what the war or the world beyond the war is about. This is classified as YA, but the events happening in the book could be related to any age, and I did not especially identify Myron or Sindra as teenagers. They were, indeed, but their life was so different tonormal teenagers', so void of dreams, that I would not call this a YA book. The main topic here is survival; and love, if there is a bit of it, does not even play second fiddle. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Englisch-Lernen-Mit-einem-Fantasy-Roman-Learn-English-for-German-Speakers-Fantasy-Novel-Edition-Audiobook/B00U0G15NA Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> Titel: Englisch Lernen: Mit einem Fantasy Roman [Learn English for German Speakers - Fantasy Novel Edition] Autor:: Mozaika Educational, Dima Zales Erzähler: Emily Durante, Lidia Buonfino Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 17 hrs and 8 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 03-05-15 Herausgeber: Mozaika Publications Bewertung: 4 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Ein völlig neuartiges Lehrbuch für Fremdsprachen von einem internationalen Best seller Autoren.

Members Reviews: Fun, original story and great narration! This is a fun story with great characters and an original idea and story. It is engaging and will make you think a little bit about how stable our lives and society are, and it is a fun story to read with the family. The narration by Brandon Wainwright was clear, easy to understand and very fun to listen to. The characters were amazing. Very fun, unique, and consistent. The narration made it easy to get into the story. One of my favorite readers is Jim Dale, who did an amazing job with great character voices for the Harry Potter books, and I would say Brandon did every bit as good of a job with his voices and narrations. Great job to Brandon and Scott. I'll be listening to this again! Touching, fun story. Good voice acting It was fun and imaginative. I enjoyed it. The ending felt a little rushed, and maybe too easy or flowery, but it gave you a good feeling and left you in a good mood. The voice acting made the story really pop and come alive. It gave the characters more depth and liveliness https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-World-House-Audiobook/B00RZW7LFI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are these characters, and a weird house, and time travel, and god like people, and amnesia, and a cool game of Snakes and Ladders, and I think that one guy is also that other guy or maybe I am thinking about someone else. Oh, and that girl is like maybe autistic, which of course means she has some special ability or perception that will help save the world, or destroy it, or maybe stop the bad guy who I am not sure is really bad because thats thats what mentally challenged people do in fantasies and, well, maybe Im just an idiot who cant follow the authors disjointed train of thought. I mean, I get this way with high brow stuff where I think I am supposed to get it. Like Birdman, which I guess had moments, but still, I didnt get it. Like art or jazz or that weird class of philosophy I took But So really, maybe Guy Adams is a genius who created this beautiful mosaic of a novel, full of complexities and layers upon layers, creating a mesmerizing tale that blends generations and genres and I am just too dumb to figure it all out. I know I feel like this when I attempt to read China Mellville and Paolo Bacigalupi, which people I respect tell me is brilliant, but turns my brains to mash, and, well, kinda bores me at the same time making me want to pull out something with explody monsters hunters or time traveling Nazis. Or maybe Guy Adams just wrote a book that had some brilliant moments, was fun at brief intervals but was mostly a mess that barely held my interest and often left me confused about exactly what the hell just happened. But maybe not Im confused. One thing I like about Paul Boehmer is that he has a unique narrative voice. His voice has a tone that reflects an international feel yet isnt specific to any particular nationality. It reminds me of the subtle accents that many 1800 era American period pieces use, not really modern American or Modern British but somewhere in between. This is why I think Boehmer is excellent in historical fiction and has been underused in the fantasy genre where straight British accents seem to be the preference of audio producers. This is why I thought he was perfectly suited for a book like The World House. But, now I am not so sure he was, mostly because I really didnt care about the book enough to figure it out. His characters were fine. I often found the perspective shifts were not distinct enough, but this may just have been because I wasnt invested enough in the characters to realize that they had shifted. Oh well. Basically, The World House was a book that constantly had me on the edge of thinking,Lets end this and move on to something else but that little part of me said that eventually there would be this sort of AHA! Moment that pulled it all together and made it worth it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Rainy-Season-Audiobook/B00J5Q17FC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Blaylock Narrator: Christopher Ragland Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Grieving over his wife's death, Phil Ainsworth is further shaken by his sister's death and the arrival of his niece Betsy, a child who hears the voices of the dead and sees the forces closing in around the old house he has inherited from his mother. Critic Reviews: "Blaylock allows us to see the mundane world through new eyes, to perceive the familar as strange and therefore fascinating - for what it is as well as for what it might be." (Charles de Lint)"The central conceit of this elegant, accomplished contemporary ghost story is that fuentes - springs in which children have been ritually drowned - are portals of inexact time travel. Ambitious plotting and characterization augment Blaylock's (Winter Tides) lush language (ripples in a well 'cast a hundred shifting shadows... crisscrossing in geometric confusion'). This is one ghostly tale that stands on very solid ground." (Publishers Weekly)"[A] seamlessly produced... intriguing and absorbing work from a major talent." (Kirkus)"Refreshing natural lunacy. Blaylock is a true American original." (Bruce Sterling)"Blaylock continues to extend his range, this time with a novel of quiet - but not entirely psychological - horror. Blaylock constructs what might be described as a leisurely page-turner: one wants to find out what comes next but doesn't feel compelled to rush onward to do so. Fans of horror in general--especially those who don't demand a high body count--as well as dedicated Blaylock fans will be well pleased." (Booklist)"The author of Winter Tides continues to display an uncanny talent for low-key, off-kilter drama, infusing the modern world with a supernatural tint. Blaylock's evocative prose and studied pacing make him one of the most distinctive contributors to American magical realism. Recommended for most libraries."

It does have a unique premise: that certain wells in Southern California only fill up during a rainy season (which does not occur every year there) and have the ability to suck people into them. Thatâs not the odd bit; the odd bit is that some people can come back out of them years later, looking just as they did when they went in. And the well creates a glass talisman containing some of the personâs memory. Widower Phil Aisworth has his quiet world on his property turned upside down when first his twin sister, Marianne, dies and leaves him as guardian of her preteen daughter, Betsy. With that comes some strife with Hannah Darwin, an older woman who was Marianneâs friend and who helped bring Betsy up- she wants to be Betsyâs guardian. Around this same time a sexy woman appears at Philâs door in the middle of the night, claiming that her car broke down. Sheâs very fetching- and also incredibly nosy and pushing. Meanwhile we have a backstory from 1884; several people back then fell into the well while fighting over things. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Blackbird-In-Amber-Audiobook/B00IT6Q88K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really enjoyed listening to all three books in this series. It's epic fantasy, with a sci-fi element to the story, and the author carried it off well. I really liked the narrator, but had to listen at 0.5x. I love the narrator's character voices he used for the bad guys. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Burn-Audiobook/B00I0X0EDW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I really enjoyed it I didn't want it to end! You'll laugh your pants off! It was a really good third book I enjoyed it although it could have ended a little better or maybe have been a final book. All the characters were brilliant, I liked El Captain the best, he struggled with his brother but when it came down to it El Captain wanted to be a better person. I would recommend all three books it will captures anybody's intrigue and as I said I didn't want it to end! So sad. As such a let down Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? No, I would not. Having read the two books that come before this one, I was amazed and love them and listen to them over and over again. Now having listen to this third book, what a waste of my time reading it. Would you ever listen to anything by Julianna Baggott again? I think I would have to check reviews before. The first two books were outstanding, however this third book, feels rush and unloved. It's like she hated every moment she wrote it Which character as performed by the narrators was your favourite? In this book none Was Burn worth the listening time? NO Any additional comments? This book could have been great, but it's not. The book leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions, but most of all by the time she's rush you to the end, you no longer care about any one. Which is such a shame , I couldn't wait to read this book and feel so sad that I did . It's rubbish . She could have done so much better, can't believe she got the green light on this. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Thunderstorm-Audiobook/B00I87YE3G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was curious, when I read the blurb, as to how this spin would be a successful PNR, but Ms. Schroder makes it work. There are some typographical errors, but I was so engrossed in the story that it didn't really matter much. The heroine, Dika, grows throughout the story and the hero, Chrome Jai, is protective and strong... I can't wait to read the next book. I didn't get enough of the Daughters... I almost wish I'd found Thunderstorm after the author had released a few more in the series... Can I have more please? I really need book 2! Dika Evans is over 150 years old.. she is also the granddaughter of Lilith, Adam's first wife/girlfriend/lover whatever you want to call her.. This is a refreshing detail for me why you ask.. well Lilith is GOOD for a change.. Its Eve who is the evil one.. But more on this later on.. lets focus on Dika for a minute.. Dika is the oldest of the Evan sisters there are 4 girls total.. While she doesnt realize who she is and the significance it is obvious to them that they are all different.. They all come equipped with super powers.. Which will all come in handy because of Evil Eve and her plans.. Plans that includes the Evan sisters as they are the 4 horse(wo)men of the apocalypse!! YESSSS!! im sure ive touched on my fondest for biblical fiction.. I love it.. I adore it.. I cant get enough of it!! So the sisters to be honest they call confused me I dont remember who is who.. I shouldve written a cast list with their abilities.. you know I love my cast lists! Created/trained to protect Dika.. Jai Chrome has been watching her every move since her birth.. Though he wasnt there the one time she needed him (which he beats himself up for regularly) he intends never to leave her again.. although Dika hasnt seen Chrome she has felt his presence her whole life.. finally she calls him out.. and thank you god she did because the passion between those to could light a fire.. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-ESP-Worm-Audiobook/B00RB73LBU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice Surprise This book turned out to be a lot better, and funnier, than I expected. A giant telepathic alien cabbage worm (not sure what the artist who did the cover with the earthworm on it was thinking) crashes to Earth. It just so happens that it is the future and humans have become comically conservative to the extreme. After a little alien preaching/influence the main chars end up in outer space aboard a cargo/cruise ship and in the clutches of space pirates. Its a brisk fast-paced amusing read and its length of 191 pages suits it perfectly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-SnowRaven-Chronicles-Thian-Oil-Audiobook/B00QU1YIII Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another excellent addition to a great series! Note: Even though this is Book 4 in the series, it works as a stand alone. The book blurb on Audible says this is the final installment to the SnowRaven Chronicles. I really, really hope that is not the case! Saska has returned from the High Seas, out of the Dukes favor. She has gone home to her sheep and the Andereke mountains. Her beloved mutated fox-serpent companion Lynx is still with her. Together, they must lead the sheep home through the treacherous mountains. There will be deadly, sneaky serpent-like monsters, dastardly trolls, the horrible thian oil and its inhabitants, plus a giant spider monster! Saska will have plenty of opportunity to fight all of them, clothing optional as always. I have really enjoyed this series. Saska is such a fighter, holding tight to her honor and assessment of what is right or wrong in the moment. Her companion Lynx is a steadfast furry that not only keeps her warm on occasion but rescues her from time to time. Scout Tommy Calvor (spelling?) joins in the second half of the book. That may just be his coat Saska is wearing on the cover illustration. Throughout the series, we have had minor clashes between the Vorashian industrialism that creates the highly prized nexil-orbs (which can provide both heat & light) and the old way of doing things magic, hard work, raising hardy bug-eating sheep. In this installment, the two worlds butt heads big time. As monster after monster demand that Saska sacrifice a sheep or two, and maybe a human or three, she finds herself feeling the need to rid the earth of one more greedy monster, old school or industrialized. The thian oil is a by-product of the production of the nexil orbs. It has to be disposed of somewhere, and that somewhere appears to be a deep ravine in the Andereke mountains. And somewhere along the way, some misguided humans started worshiping some monster deity associated with the oil. In their prayers, they became contaminated with the stuff and then mutated. These scenes where Saska is trying very hard to safely navigate over or past the thian oil were some of my favorite, mostly because it involves a lot of fighting and much of it in the nude. Yep, our heroine can not be taken out so easily even if she has lost all her clothes. The story leaves us with a satisfying end to this one tale, but with plenty of questions for Saskas future. So I am really, really hoping that this is not the final installment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fyre-Fang-Audiobook/B077GB29BQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent tale of adventure! Lovely novel of a girl who sets out to discover a cure for her condition in a fantasy world of beasts and magical creatures. Similar in some ways to Wizard of Oz or Lord of the Rings, I found this to be a sufficiently new approach to the 'journey of discovery' tale to be very entertaining. I anxiously await the sequel. Very good writing! The "Song" By Saya was great Very good writing! The "Song" By Saya was great . Waiting for next book Five Stars Awesome story line...love the characters.

Their existence is unknown and they try to keep it that way, however there is also a war going on between the light and the dark sides (good and bad).

On top of all that, the one person who she is drawn to, the one person she finds out should be drawn to her - the only one who can really protect her - seems to hate her and does everything in his power to avoid her. She starts out as confused and uncertain, but she is strong in character, never whiny. Even when she is scared, she will pull up her big girl pants and do what she has to. She's not "hard" or "cold", in fact she is very feeling and emotional, but not a cry baby by any means.

Members Reviews: Action packed and well written Emery has grown up in the foster system thinking that she has no family and no loved ones to care for her. One day, her life changes when she fights back against some bullies in an alley. She discovers that she has powers, and she also finds out that she has a brother: Elijah. He takes her to a safe house where there are others like her and starts to answer some of her questions about who she is and what she can do (although, he cannot answer her questions fast enough to satisfy her intense curiosity for what is happening to her). She meets a gorgeous man named Kade, who has strange shifting eyes and learns that she has a powerful and unique connection to him. As she learns more about herself and this world of magic and light and dark houses, her powers grow and she is continually thrust into a fight for her life. I enjoyed this book so much because it is full of constant twists and turns. The way the book is structured is brilliant because it givesÂyou almost a feelingÂlike you can't catch your breath - which is exactly how the main character is feeling throughout the book. She is confused and disoriented at first, and she constantly asks questions.ÂThis parallels what the reader experiences. More things are revealed little by little, shocking things happen, and the story becomes more and more interesting and immersive. This is one of the most actionÂpacked books I have read this year. I loved the character development in this book.ÂEach characterÂwas realistically written and had lots of greatÂcharacter traits as well as flaws that made the book enjoyable. In particular, her evolving relationship with Kade was really frustrating (in a good way). My only complaint was that it was so action packed that it was hard to pinpoint the actual rise and fall of a true plot. It really worked for this book, however. I amÂtruly looking forward to the next installment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dr-Daedalus-the-Devils-Army-Audiobook/B00OV8AELC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short, Sweet and Smart great mix of fantasy, fact and alternative history. fast paced, quick witted and left wanting to see more of the core characters Welcome Dr Daedalus and Grace. This could quite easily turn into a very good series. The two main protagonists, Grace and Daedalus, meet in Grace's prison. Then they join together to save the world from great danger and live to fight another day. To tell anymore would need a spoiler alert. I enjoyed the story and the narration and hope there will be more from Daedalus and Grace in the future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Serpents-Keep-Audiobook/B00OV8ATRQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: nice read. book kept my interest nice read. book kept my interest. it was nice to read something with a different plot. the ending keeps you wondering what happens to the main character and those left at Serpents Keep. Hopefully there is a sequel as the ending leaves much ... Hopefully there is a sequel as the ending leaves much unexplained. The characters are interesting but could use some development to explain their motivation and decision making. A different take on realities Slow start, but quickly reveals a complicated journey to protect the past from the future. Although there is a boy/girl team, it differs from others. Okay, but not a top choice Somewhat juvenile and hard to keep up with parallel universes. Reasonably entertaining, but not a top choice. Could have done more with the concept. A really good read! This book was surprisingly good, in fact it was hard to put down at times. I'm hoping there will be a sequel as the ending definitely leaves an opening for one. Mr. Beshears is a skillful writer, this wasn't his first novel, but I like his style and want to read more by him. Yes, I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review but if I hadn't like it so much I would say so, too. The dragons weren't fierce, at least not with Jake, hero of the story, as they were guardians and therefore (with the exception of one) they viewed him as a friend of sorts. There was a small amount of violence, what was necessary for the story, but nothing graphic - just good story telling! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Movement-A-Childrens-Story-for-Grown-Ups-Audiobook/B00NPB1K2S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After first reading the book, I arranged for my book club to read The Movement Concluded (includes 2 additional stories beyond this one) and we will enjoy having the author with us to discuss it tomorrow night! The author's messages are profound. You will enjoy getting to know the characters as they discover their purpose along life's path which leads us to discover the meaning in our life as well. Expect to keep thinking about the book long after you finish it. There is much symbolism to contemplate! Very spiritually uplifting! Very creative and it is easy to read As a personal fan of both the author and his works, I can honestly say this book is mind blowing. Imagine Alice in Wonderland, but for adults. Very creative and it is easy to read.

Members Reviews: enthralling alternate history and fantasy tale On an Earth that never was but might have been, Richard the Lion-Hearted never died while battling against the infidels for control of Jerusalem. He went on to defeat Saladin and with the help of his half-sister Sioned he took away the precious Seal of Solomon from Sinan, the old man of the mountain. He was crowned king of Jerusalem and for over a decade he has reigned over the city he has come to love. Although he is reluctant to leave, Richard I is ready to return to England to thwart his brother's plan to take the throne. However, Sinan returns more powerful than ever, eager to take his revenge on everyone who opposed him a decade ago. He kidnaps Sioned's daughter, captures one of Richard's castles, and lays siege to another. Sioned and her husband the Sultan of Egypt persuades Richard that the only weapon that could defeat their enemy is the Ark if they can find it. Change the output of one pivotal event in history the way Judith Tarr has so brilliantly done and the outcome is a world that is completely different than the history books. Richard is presented as a noble warrior king willing to heed the advice of the people he trust but the star of HOUSE OF WAR is his baseborn sister Sioned, a powerful mage who has the wisdom and courage of Boudacia and Cleopatra. Fans of alternate history and fantasy will love this enthralling novel. Harriet Klausner Emotionally satisfying alternate history with great action The old man of the mountain, Sinan, king of assassins, was defeated and killed, but Hell itself cannot hold him. Sinan is raising new armies against the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, and his magic seems stronger than ever. King Richard the Lion Hearted sees his knights vanish and knows he needs to march out to battle, but he knows he is no mage--and Sinan can only be defeated by a magic more powerful than anyone has seen in two thousand years. When Sinan captures her daughter, Siomed, half-sister to Richard, nearly goes crazy. Her husband and her friends call her back to reality. No matter how powerful her magic, she can't simply strike back. Sinan will absorb her power and turn it against those she loves. They need a tool--and in Jerusalem, the ultimate tool is the lost Arc of the Covanent. But the Arc has been lost for two thousand years and, even if it is found, only a few oppressed Jews know how to work its magic. Author Judith Tarr paints a wonderful picture of an alternate history where magic is real, where Richard found a compromise in his crusade and built a crusader nation that welcomes people of many faiths, and where Christian, Jewish, Moslem, and pagan magicians strive in the perpetual battle against evil. Tarr's skillful use of the danger to Siomed's children increases the story's emotional intensity as does the growing affection between Mustafa and Giuliano. I also appreciated the sensitive way Tarr handled the cultural differences amongst her protagonists--using it to strengthen the story rather than glossing over it. HOUSE OF WAR is a sequel to DEVIL'S BARGAIN and is, if anything, an even stronger work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Midnight-Oil-Audiobook/B00MNHVX8Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Midnight Oil Subtitle: Witches of Galdorheim, Volume 2 Author: Marva Dasef Narrator: Lisa Baarns Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-14 Publisher: Marva Dasef Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Shipwrecked on a legendary island, how can a witch rescue her boyfriend if she can't even phone home? Kat is a nervous wreck waiting for her boyfriend's first visit to her Arctic island home. He doesn't show up, so she's sure he's given her the brushoff. When she learns he's disappeared, she sets out on a mission to find him. Things go wrong from the start. Kat is thrown overboard during a violent storm, while her brother and his girlfriend are captured by a mutant island tribe. The mutants hold the girlfriend hostage, demanding the teens recover the only thing that can make the mutants human again - the magical Midnight Oil. Mustering every bit of her Wiccan magic, Kat rises to the challenge. She invokes her magical skills, learns to fly an ultralight, meets a legendary sea serpent, rescues her boyfriend, and helps a friendly air spirit win the battle against her spiteful sibling. On top of it all, she's able to recover the Midnight Oil and help the hapless mutants in the nick of time. Members Reviews: At Sea with Kat and Rune What made the experience of listening to Midnight Oil the most enjoyable? Hearing the characters I had come to like while reading the book brought to life by the narrator What was one of the most memorable moments of Midnight Oil? There were three: the memorial service for Kat's father; her meeting with Grrk, the disemvowelled (you'll have to listen to the book to figure that one out) castaway, and Rune's introduction to the ultralight. What does Lisa Baarns bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Ms Baarns has a very pleasing voice, and she uses it expertly to give each character a distinctive personality. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The memorial service for Kat's father early in the book was particularly well done. Any additional comments? I particularly enjoy the artful and mostly humorous blending of ancient tradition and folklore with aspects of the modern world such as the witches riding both broomsticks and ultralights and the trolls and their snowmobiles. The fact that the snowmobiles are sold by the fat elf up north who runs a dealership in the off season makes it that much better. Also, it is refreshing to meet a heroine who uses her head to get herself out of mishaps rather than waiting for someone to do it for her. Excellent Narration Makes the Story Come Alive Where does Midnight Oil rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? 2nd or 3rd What did you like best about this story? Originality. What about Lisa Baarnss performance did you like? Everything. Lisa does a wonderful job presenting multiple characters consistently and in an entertaining way. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? I'm writing this review to comment on the narrative style. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Bring-Down-the-Sun-Audiobook/B00KCCLRAS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A classic Swords and Sorcery tale. Most of Howard 's fantasy stories are well worth reading and Shadows in the Moonlight is no exception. Utter Id The more Conan stories I listen to (I listen to a lot of audio fiction from podcasts), the lower they fall in my esteem. I recalled most of this story, somehow, despite it being so damn similar to other Conan stories. Story begins with stranger in some distress. Stranger meets big man. Man is Conan. Conan proceeds to slaughter his way through rest of story. Conan ends with some woman to bed. It's so hyper-masculine, with no real emotions. I suppose a fan of old-school pulp will be fine with this, but with so many other publications of fantasy and warfare available nowadays, I don't think I'll ever be passing on the Conan stories as recommended reading.

Not every weirdness can be explained by adding "quantum" to it... Just saying. Still worth the read. However, the performance really lets the story down. The narrator often omits sentence breaks, making it all one tone and monotonous. The editing doesn't help, as you can often tell bits from different recording sessions from line to line. More importantly, the narrator doesn't seem to be enjoying the book -- just drumming it out till the end. And honestly, you'd expect some familiarity with the genre... A-one? Seriously? How about AI? Interesting idea, but oh so slow I don't normally give up on audiobooks (or books in general), but I only got about 3 hours into this one. The premise is interesting, but it took a long time to get going, and even once it did, the pace was breathtakingly slow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Chasing-the-Dragon-Audiobook/B00IZO4VPI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ever since the Quantum Bomb of 2015 things have been different; the dimensions have fused and suddenly our world is accessible to elves, demons, ghosts, and elementals-and their worlds are open to us. Things have been different for Special Agent Lila Black too: She's been tortured and magic-scarred by elves; rebuilt by humans into a half-robot, part-AI, nuclear-fueled walking arsenal; married to a demon; and is in love with a recently-deceased elf. It was confusing enough before she was catapulted fifty years into her own future. Returning to the life of a secret agent, Lila finds herself left all of her former boss's old offices and whatever mysteries they contain, as the elf has disappeared some fifty years previously. Appointed head of the new android division, she can see all too clearly what's in store for her if the growth of the alien technologies in her cyborg body continues unchecked. But there are more immediate concerns. Like resurrecting her lover, Zal. And her husband, the demon Teazle, is embroiled in a fatal plot in Demonia, and her magic sword is making itself happy as a pen whose writing has the power to affect other worlds.

I was originally drawn to this book more out of curiosity--and respect for Tuhon McGrath as a martial arts instructor--but I continued to read for the sheer enjoyment of it. Not everyone will like the novel. It is exactly what the description claims, so do not expect it to fit your personal fantasy-story paradigms. It is definitely an allegorical novel--somewhat along the lines of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and the Archives of Anthropos by John White. McGrath draws on his personal understanding of faith, philosophy, sociology, and history to create a realm that is both fantastical and familiar. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, McGrath works with familiar character types from heroic stories. This is a series I will read to the end. Good action and ambitious storytelling This book is advertised quite openly as Conservative Christian fantasy, and while you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy it, you need at least a healthy respect for the Bible and a mind open to conservative ideas. With that in mind, Asulon is a good story, with memorable characters and layers upon layers of both plot and meaning. Early on in the book, the author promises to do to martial arts and bladed instruments what Larry Correia did to heavy weaponry. Alas, this being an EPIC fantasy, exposition battles with action for space and attention, and unfortunately exposition wins. Without reading the rest of the series, I don't know if this is the pattern for this writer, or if, having gotten the backstory out of the way, he will unleash his obvious talent for writing action. I would recommend this book for readers who want a good fantasy without excessive world-building, but at the same time have enough patience to get through the slower parts. On the whole, the characters and the underlying story make Asulon a world worth discovering. On shaky ground This book is borderline for me. I want to like it a lot, but I'm not sold at all. First, the author is very direct about laws and religion, which I don't mind. However, instead of allowing the reader to read the viewpoints of people, there's a lot of explaining, not showing. As an aspiring writer myself, I believe that you should "show, never tell." This book tells--a lot. I can deal with that, even though politics bore me immensely. I realize that they are necessary to this novel, so I will give credit where it is due. However.. One thing bothers me IMMENSELY. In short, the author created a character named Rachel (if memory serves). She is a princess. The author created a prince. His name is Daniel. He is a prince. When Daniel speaks, or when others speak to him, they speak in normal, modern-ish English. However, when Rachel speaks, or when others speak to her, they instantly start saying thees, thous, thys... and it is extremely irritating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mistification-Audiobook/B00IUW96NC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His magic is real. Marvo grows up without knowing his parents, without knowing his heritage, without knowing much about life.

Do not read if you are bothered by a slow burning plot line and vagueness, however. The book leaves as much to the imagination as it fuels the imagination. I enjoyed reading the stories within the stories, the morally gray characters and bits of history meandering with pure fiction. It reads kind of like you are reading about the history of the main character's life and not joining him on his journey. It gets philosophical about knowledge, which I love. Five Stars Wonderful book, amazing writer. Book showed up on a timely manner in very good condition Mythic storytelling about stories "You love your tricks, Marvo. You must be careful to let people believe they ARE tricks, at all times. Let them think there is an answer, an explanation. If they think your magic is true, they will hate you. This has happened to me more than once." Marvo is a true magician, raised by his grandmother within the walls and attic of an old house, where they have fled from a murderous if vague civil unrest. There he teaches himself magic tricks, learns about the world watching a mute television and begins his lifelong addiction to listening to the stories that people tell about themselves. Once he is old enough to go out into the world, he devotes himself to understanding the world almost exclusively through these stories - some heartbreaking and personal, some awful and transgressive, some resonant with myth. Denied the grounding of a typical family upbringing, he is particularly obsessed with birth stories, the stranger the better. He finds love, of a sort, and becomes a renowned stage magician. He begins to understand that the mist, his magical ability to alter how people see the world, conveys a great and ultimately terrible responsibility. Mistification is a fascinating piece of storytelling about stories, from the small curiosities that people build up into important myths with themselves at the centre, to the huge lies that they spin around themselves to obscure truths they cannot bear. It's a story obsessed with magical traditions, superstitions and mythology, as is Marvo himself. The pace of the novel perhaps suffers from Marvo's apparent aimlessness - much of the book is taken up with his meandering trade in stories with just about everyone he ever meets - but I felt his relentless inquisitiveness worked in the book's favour. Marvo's quest to understand the world through stories is his life's work, and Warren's primary concern is to show what Marvo has learned. She almost never lets us glimpse the world except from his odd and myopic perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cloud-Permutations-Audiobook/B00IUYJL8U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An interesting short novel Lavie Tidhar's Cloud Permutations is a well written story about Kal, who wants desperately to fly. Flying is forbidden in Kal's world, but he really wants to fly. Because of his desire to fly certain events force him to be exiled from his home. This exile changes his life and leads him Bani. Together, Kal and Bani begin to search a tower and they'll experience an unforgettable adventure. Cloud Permutations is one of those stories which you can read in one sitting. It's a wonderful and touching story about a different world, Heven, and its customs (things about Heven are revealed gradually to the reader). In my opinion Cloud Permutations is almost like a science fiction fairy tale for adults, but perhaps the best way to describe it is to say that it's a fantastic adventure tale to speculative fiction readers. According to Lavie Tidhar's official website, Cloud Permutations was inspired by life in the South Pacific and a love of Cordwainer Smith, and it was written in Vanuatu. The author's interest in Vanuatu is easy to see in this story - it adds an interesting flavour to the story (this South Pacific flavour feels fresh). I like Lavie Tidhar's writing style and the way he describes things. His prose is good and the story is interesting. This story contains an interesting Lovecraftian element in the form of a giant squid. This squid reminds me of Dagon, which - if I remember correctly - was a major Semitic god and was worshipped by ancient people (everybody who's read H. P. Lovecraft's stories knows that Lovecraft wrote a story about Dagon). Cloud Permutations is a nice story and I can recommend it to speculative fiction readers. Many Ragged Layers I stumbled into a #hashchat on Twitter, where World SF blog creator, GUD contributor, and prolific writer @LavieTidhar was answering questions from the audience. If the Library of Congress was on the ball with their Twitter archive, or I had a better memory, I could amaze you with the brilliance of my question. As it is, I will try to impress you with the brilliance of the book that I won with that lost-to-posterity question. 'Cloud Permutations' is part myth, part science fiction adventure. Its roots are both broad and deep; they nurture a story that is personal, well-defined, and brilliantly textured and contextualized, yet still archetypal. Tidhar draws from his experience in the remote islands of Melanesia to paint for us one possible permutation of the clouds. Heven is a world populated, centuries ago, by Melanesian settlers from distant Earth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Train-in-the-Meadow-Audiobook/B00IORVAEQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: So, so. Is there anything you would change about this book? The story was a disappointment. Way to long, an at times boring. Wish I could change all above. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Make it shorter. More interesting characters. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The audio performance was better than the book. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Not really unless I read or heared good reviews. Any additional comments? Could have done without it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Maul-Audiobook/B00I5OEBVC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Reminiscient of Margaret Atwoods "Oryx and Crake" series but way more over the top. My expectations for "Maul" werent that high to be quite honest and i guess that is part of the reson i was so positively surprised. To be fair its not perfect either. Specifically i dont like the way tempus is varied throughout the text but hey, there are som truly neat ideas to make up for it storywise. All in all id havet to say its a cool read. I never knew "feminist cyberpunk" could be so interesting. Three Stars A bit disappointed in the story.. I didn't finish it. Cyberpunk treatise on sexuality with a non-Western sensibility Maul is gritty, profane, and violent, while exploring intellectual themes. The plot moves along vigorously, and the characters feel genuine. The teenage girls actually feel like teenagers (which most authors cannot pull off). This is one of those books that you canât simply read and put down. You need to discuss it with someone else, because itâs very non-Western in how it approaches intellectual topics. Western works tend to have a thesis, a point that they are trying to make and drive towards. They must say a specific thing, and clearly, or theyâve failed. My main exposure to the antithesis of this is anime, and so this book reminded me strongly of works like Akira or Ghost in the Shell. It has a lot to say, and often takes philosophical tangents and introduces fascinating ideas. However it simply presents them to the reader to think on, rather than wrapping them together and pushing to âand thus my point is Xâ. Itâs disorienting, and itâs a nice change. The politics and violence in the book are overblown, and people who focus on that will find it disjointed, with all this random "sex stuff" getting in the way. But it's not about those things - if you read it as primarily about human sexuality, with those other themes exaggerated in order to explore the sexual aspects of being human, you realize why those choices were made. That said, the book does have some problems. Sullivan is terrible at physical descriptions. I didnât realize 10Esha was black until halfway through. It took me a while to understand the Castellations are underground, and I never got a clear picture of them. If I wasnât intimately familiar with malls Iâd have no idea what was going on during the mall half of the book, and even so a lot of the action was displaced and fuzzy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Adamar-Audiobook/B00HZV37NE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: MAX MIXTURE OF SCIFI/FANTASY What made the experience of listening to Adamar the most enjoyable? Great escapest story. The Dragon spaceship? A living, ship kind of like I have seen in other fantasy/scifi novels. Just wish the Dragon had not been slain, or has it? This book kept my attention, which most books cant do. Another thing, it gets better the more you listen What did you like best about this story? The action scenes were vivid and well defined. Also, the story rolls along in a logical and well thought out manner. The ending was a little predictable, but it is leading into the next episode. thought it was more entertaining than John Carter of Mars and really better written What three words best describe Lee Strayers voice? normal, too soothing Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? no, it just was escapist entertainment, which is what I got it for Horrid - seriously needs an editor Cyborg Dragon Space Ship...that alone should tell you something. This is just a bad book. It is poorly written and poorly narrated. The dialogue is stilted and truly odd. One minute we're listening to characters speaking normally and then it changes drastically. It's as if the author pulled out his thesaurus and went wild. The result is the following sentence: "[,,,] exposing her magnanimous ivory breasts." (see time stamp 4:22:31) I was so startled by this particular sentence I had to go back and see if I had heard it correctly and then I bookmarked it so I could let others hear it. I really tried to listen to the flat narration and the confusing and poorly written story. I really did try but after 4.5 hours, I had to stop. I just couldn't take it anymore. Save your credits. I hope someone gives the author a dictionary to go with his thesaurus so he can see the entirety of a word's definition before he uses it. Over all disappoing What would have made Adamar better? Go sci-fi or fantasy, I like both but not mixed. Still scratching my head over the cyborg dragon space ship. What could Scot C. Morgan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Seems to worry more about the story's destination then the path there. If he'd taken some time to set up some of the events it could have been a bit more enjoyable, to much was just glazed over. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Unnamed-Audiobook/B00HQGENCW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is written so that adults will also be interested in this fast paced paranormal story. This prequel gives you more than enough to keep your interest in the other books, not a tiny introduction to the story. If you enjoy spine tingling and creepy reads; would recommend this book . Original Premise and Lightning Pace! I was really impressed by this novella. It started off strong and went right into the story, which I enjoy. There are always books that require a certain amount of set-up and explanation to prevent the reader from feeling lost or confused, but there are times when, as a reader, I just want to get right to the plot. The Unnamed is one of those stories that jumps right off the page, that takes off like a cannon and doesn't let go or lose pace. I can't wait for the first full-length book in the Haedyn Chronicles. I'll definitely be reading that one. Disclaimer: I was provided with a copy of this novella by the author in exchange for an honest review. Cliffhanger! I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed this story as much as I did. I am not normally a fan of this type of fiction, but Oliver's writing style sucked me in. The story is filled with edge of the seat moments that actually had me worried for Haedyn, and I can't wait to read the next book. This is well worth the read - I'm glad I took a friend's advice and picked this up. Interesting, suspenseful, and well written, with complicated characters. An Intriguing Prologue The Unnamed is a dark tale of medieval genetic experiments and their consequences centuries later. The two main characters are unique and appealing. The author does a remarkable job of detailing the complex motivations of both and of creating a new take on the mythology of angels and demons. An intriguing horror novella. I'll definitely read Haedyn when it comes out. so good!!!! I want to start off by saying I LOVE books about demons. I instantly fell in love with The Unnamed. This book is like no other demon book I have read. While it is short story and prelude to Haedynâs Choice, it was so awesome that I couldnât tear myself away for even a split second. If you enjoy books about demons, witches and vampires, you will absolutely love this book! I would definitely recommend this book!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dragon-Attack-Audiobook/B00H9RUPJ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gritty, inventive urban fantasy Scott Moon writes fantasy with wit, confidence, assurance, and authority. As a police officer with counter drug, counter gang, and SWAT experience, he writes about the environment he writes about the environment he knows best. He weaves urban settings, strong characters, and high fantasy adventure into a seamless and entertaining romp. If you're looking for a "clean read," be advised that this ain't it. This is raw, gritty stuff. But if you'd like an original take on dragon lore, and if you'd like to see what it would be like if dragons crossed the portal into our own world, you'll enjoy the entire Dragon Badge series. Innovative fantasy Well-done fusion of a police story with heavy fantasy. Definitely not run-of-the-mill! While types of characters are familiar from other fantasy, and from earlier genres, Scott Moon gives very interesting new takes on the concepts surrounding them and what they do. Interesting series Interesting premise for the series. Lots of characters to follow. I am looking forward to the next book. It should be good Loved the characters and the plot twists I read the entire series because I could not wait to see how it ended. Loved the characters and the plot twists.

Members Reviews: but light reading with a feel good ending that leaves the reader satisfied a good story ... A creative read in a well built, believable world. The hero is just the right amount of light and dark, fierce and soft. The heroine gentle and strong. Not heavy ready or break the mold fantasy, but light reading with a feel good ending that leaves the reader satisfied a good story has been told. Man of Darkness falls for a Good Hearted Woman I found the first book in a Dollar General, and became interested in it because it says "Gault" in it, and Gault is my married name, lol. Plus I've been looking for a good fantasy light read and this delivers. Ladies, if you like the fantasy setting, with a physically tense romance, this one's for you. The price adds to it too lol.! I think it was a decent read, and if you're looking for a good fantasy reading for the weekend, this one and the first book are good. Five Stars Very good author! Five Stars Great I liked it.

Members Reviews: To many unanswered What did you like best about Hereafter? What did you like least? Story was ok as far as it went, a few more explanation be nice. I can see if they want to save something for another book but hate it when there many unanswered questions and this book had whole mountain range of them. Without more input I couldn't really get more then a general feel for the for the story world. Would you recommend Hereafter to your friends? Why or why not? No, maybe it this becomes a series and the story world gets a bit deeper but as it stands I can't recommend it. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Maybe not in a theater possibility on DVD release Any additional comments? The plot is kind of ruined by the publisher's summary, the first 8hrs is summed up in the summary so even though you don't know exactly how it happens you know how it ends up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Shattered-Oath-Audiobook/B00CSX549E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Prince Out of Faerie; Duck Our of Water First off, I don't like the cover as much as "King's Son, Magic's Son" or "A Strange and Ancient Name" and that put me off for awhile, (especially w/Book I written there, thought it'd be an epic, don't have time to get immersed in one of THOSE right now), but the same writing style and great plots are in this book as in her others. Actually this is a really good book, with characters you like. Ardagh is kind and fair, but not mushy enough too make him wussy, he IS, after all, a Sidhe prince. The trials and confusion he faces in the human realm are funny and the problems in human politics are engaging. Try it out. Unusual premise, believable characters Cast out of the Kingdom of the Faery on the unfounded accusation of treason, Prince Ardagh finds himself in dirty, smelly 7th Century Ireland. Totally unprepared, hardly able to survive and incapable of lying, he is accepted as a guest by the local High King. At first all he wants to do is return home and regain his honour but gradually he becomes more and more involved with these humans and their affairs. A very interesting novel, with some strong characters. The author brings this period of Irish history to life and at the same time tells a wonderful fantasy. Good Strong Characters with enough history to feel like fact The story was well written and moved along very well. The story line shifted from Ardagh's personal trauma as a falsely accused traitor to the the very traitorous atmosphere of an early Irish king and his court. The end left the possibility of a reconciliation with his Sidhe brother (very small possibility!) and also was open ended enough with political struggles to envision more books following. The magic was not overblown or out of place. Overall a very good story with plenty of action and thought put into it. Absolutely Wonderful I love this series, and it's a real shame that there's no book 3... the plot is interesting and takes place at a point in history that doesn't get much attention. The characters are very well written and I don't think you'll be able to find many fantasy readers that would give either book in the series anything below 4 stars. The story of a Prince who stands to his sworn comrades. To be the younger brother of a very suspicious Sidhe king is not a good thing. A young Sidhe prince must learn this on the hard way. Exiled from his rightful place he must learn to find his way in the realms of men. I really enjoyed reading this book because it`s the kind of book you can't stop reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Infinity-Audiobook/B00C4XGGMW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another Grand Slam by MYN Infinity is another fabulous read by author Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff. Not only has he crafted a mind-enthralling, hell ride of a thriller with this story but there are layers in this book that give it depth many thrillers do not have. This work also pulls elements of his other great works together that reside in the Angel of Death or Shadow Falls series. Giving definition and scope to the world he has masterfully created. I highly recommend this read. Nor does one have to read the other works for this to be enjoyable or make sense. The content is there for those that have but this is a tremendous stand alone work as well. Once you take the ride you will get back in line for another again. And again. Welcome to Hell on Earth. Or should I say Heaven? Can't wait for the next installment I really enjoy MYN's work. Both his fiction and his motivational books (Check out "Go Forth and Kick Some Ass"). This one reminded me of "Number One With A Bullet" with touches of "Badlands." Very fast-paced, totally engrossing story and characters. Not for the faint at heart - but it is about demon-hunters, so you have been warned. Awesome, as always Do not buy this book! Unless you have some time blocked off for reading. I could not put this down. Nemcoff has yet another page turner in his collection. This is another novel that grips you from the opening page until the finish. I thought Shadow Falls was great, and then this came along. Wonderful from beginning to end. Roller coaster of awesome This is a fast-paced story which still takes the time to develop the world and characters. Its a page turner and feels like a big budget action movie. Mark draws you in and holds you in place with a fantastic world that still feels real. Don't blink... no character is safe in the telling of this amazing story. Mark does it again! Infinity is another great book by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fair-Peril-Audiobook/B00BHQ0FL0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's the punch line to the joke that starts" I caught a talking frog". It has some wonderful things to say about middle age and about self help. The performance does some very odd things with volume that I really found distracting. Once I got used to that, it was still the book I loved. Well written and sassy Would you consider the audio edition of Fair Peril to be better than the print version? For a mostly lighthearted fairy story this is well written, funny, and relatable.

Title: Fantasy Life Author: Kristine Kathryn Rusch Narrator: Emily Durante Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-27-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Strange things have always happened in Seavy County, the most rugged stretch of Oregon's coastline. Violent storms spring up like magic, even when the rest of the state enjoys sunshine; unearthly beings are sometimes glimpsed in the twilight; and those who live there understand that a rare enchantment still lives in the world, although they seldom speak of it. For Seavy County is home to not just animal life, but to fantasy life as well: mythical creatures long vanished from the rest of the planet. The last survivors of a bygone age, they lead a precarious existence, skirting the fringes of modern civilization. The Buckingham family has protected the hidden wonders of Seavy County for generations. Forty years ago, Lyssa Buckingham's father lost his life doing just that. Lyssa fled from Seavy County, searching for a more normal life, but found tragedy and heartbreak instead. With her 10-year-old daughter, Emily, in tow, she has come home at last, just as the malignant forces that killed her father are gathering strength once more. Now Lyssa must make some hard choices. About the county, about Emily - and about the fragile fantasy life that surrounds them all. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kristine Kathryn Rusch) Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:37:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fantasy-Life-Audiobook/B00BJ76W4G thebookvoice.com 13:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/626/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A somewhat SF twist on an alternate, magical universe I think Kristine Kathryn Rusch is one of the more interesting authors to snag my attention so far this new millennium. Her earlier Sci Fi works have some original concepts and good pacing. This is her first foray into the Fantasy realm that I'm aware of, and it's a worthy addition to her bibliography. The coast of Seavy County, Oregon, is a reservation of sorts for all of the world's remaining magical water creatures - the "mythical" mermaids, sylkies, water sprites, etc. of legend. For over one hundred years the Buckinghams, a resident family of Anchor Bay, have been stewards and sworn protectors of these various beings. Now mysterious deaths are threatening this special coexistence, and four generations of Buckingham women must forget their internal feuds and pull together, using their psychic powers to discover the source of the threat. I love Rusch's take on the disappearance of magic from our planet, her explanation for the steadily declining lack of sightings that goes hand in hand with our steadily eroding environment. I can also see a distinctly SF bias in her characters' reactions to the supernatural events surrounding them; they almost seem detached and unsurprised at the paranormal, as if astronauts expecting to discover and explore strange new worlds and all the attendant alien species therein. This is something I have noticed in the writings of other crossover novelists, and I can't decide if this rationalistic flavor is a refreshing twist on the Fantasy genre or a detraction from it. Perhaps because Anchor Bay's residents are so pragmatic about the otherworldly beings that they coexist with, the author never gets around to delving into the fascinating creatures, their relationships, their cultures, their intimate interactions with humans. Where then is the wonder and awe that so poetically defines Fantasy? As a novelist, Rusch did live up to her own standards. The plot was a very good blend of action, character development and steadily unfolding mystery. Rusch does seem to have a good handle on human psychology and she uses it effectively.
