Members Reviews: Hogan is a good author, and his stories always entertain The plot was a bit too predictable, and somewhat simplistic. Hogan is a good author, and his stories always entertain, but he tends to avoid the idea of controversy even as he writes stories that are based on controversial concepts. In this story, the central theme is that rapacious business tends to destroy everything in its path and only personal heroics by people with conviction can possibly stop the "bad" guys. Characters are painted in broad-brush monochrome, with little internal conflict. The story was, as I noted, entertaining, but one-sided, and typically drawn for this author. A world that works together. My second time reading this book. Hogan has written some very great books. To me science fiction is a vehicle to remove me from the troubles around and sometimes way too much all around and within me. Here is a book that offers a single solution to many troubles. Listen to the Flowers According to James P. Hogan's latest novel, "Moon Flower", Earth of the mid-twenty-first century has become a truly disagreeable place. The world is ruled by mega-conglomerates like Interworld Restructuring Corporation and its thuggish military contractor, Milicorp Transnational. Countries like the United States of America have fragmented into smaller, regional entities which serve primarily as bill collectors for the corporations. Personal rights have practically ceased to exist. You can't even leave the university at Berkeley for lunch without passing through a checkpoint and getting wanded and frisked. Is it worth the hassle? Certain people are born misfits. Take quantum physicist Marc Shearer. Sure, he could make tons of money coming up with nasty new superweapons for one of the big corporations, but he'd rather do basic research to further the understanding of reality. Very early on, he gets dumped by his girlfriend because he isn't Going Places. He amuses himself by playing a certain parlor game called "nuts" with his companions -- it serves as a fascinating insight into basic, dysfunctional human nature. Then there's Jerri Perlok. She's an anthropologist who looks at the strutting and preening of the privileged classes, and sees little difference between them and peacocks going through their mating rituals. She trusts her instincts, as well as the instincts of her little dog, Nimi (short for Nimrod). If the dog doesn't like someone, neither does she. Both Marc and Jerri quickly find themselves on an interstellar voyage to a recently discovered planet called Cyrene. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Story-Time-Audiobook/B00AJMIWVS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm not sure what was more unbelievable, the flying school bus, or the idea that a Denver Nugget would drive a Prius. The narrator droned-on in a monotone voice, and it took all my will just to get to the rather abrupt ending. The bad guys were all bigoted, gun-toting White Christian cannibals (with bad teeth), while the good guys were a rainbow coalition of peace loving do-gooders. This was, hands down, the most politically correct science fiction story I've ever read (heard?), and it was neither believable or enjoyable. Save yourself eight hours of your life you'll never get back and spend your credit elsewhere. I like the book hate the narrator What did you like best about Story Time? What did you like least? It's an intriguing switch on the apocalypse - a bit too hard core on good guys - bad guys Would you be willing to try another book from Linell Jeppsen? Why or why not? Maybe - I like the unique viewpoint How did the narrator detract from the book? Bigtime by a very flat monotone delivery If this book were a movie would you go see it? No. I like happy endings at home Any additional comments? If the narration was better I would have been happy to listen. Unfortunately it put me off Fun story - distracting narration Is there anything you would change about this book? The story is entertaining, but not very sophisticated. Pople have the stock reactions of so many fantasy novels: They receive bad news by getting angry at the messenger; they spend pages telling each other there's no time to waste; and men need to be violent to each other to maintain their self respect. An editor could have helped. What was one of the most memorable moments of Story Time? There are fun moments, as when a character comes to meet an alien race and dubs their repreentatives "Uncle" and "Aunty." How did the narrator detract from the book? I seriously checked to see if the narration was some sort of AI experiment. The cadence and emphasis is not quite human. "She ran her hands over her face" is renderedd "She ran, her hands over her face." And thousand of more odd line readings. Voices and accents are okay. It was in the paragrpahs of that the odd, inhuman rhythm sometimes became distracting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Furchtlose-Liebe-Die-Ueberlebenden-2-Audiobook/B075T7F5HX Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> Titel: Furchtlose Liebe (Die Überlebenden 2) Autor:: Alexandra Bracken Erzähler: Nora Jokhosha Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 17 hrs and 20 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 10-26-17 Herausgeber: Audible GmbH Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Ruby ist eine der wenigen, die das Virus überlebt haben.

Members Reviews: no Pulitzer, but good lightweight fun These self-published space operas are the comic books of the 21st century...entertaining, action-packed, with not too deep characters, and good story lines. I read this book in one sitting. It has just about everything the author could think of thrown in: transporter beams, cool aliens, exotic weapons, harrowing rescues..you got it! I don't mind an occasional naked woman thrown in, (but I did mind the super metal called "Zillium", as that's too close to Sillyum on the periodic table). Throw away those literary scruples, buy this one, and have some fun. Rousing Sci-Fi Adventure Captain Reginald Epsilon uses his stolen prototype warship Stingray to help his former XO, Jessie, rescue her sister who's been imprisoned by enemy forces. Various obstacles stand in their way, but Eps and his motley crew overcome them and make it to the prison. Here the outcome is unexpected, but our heroes escape and the villain of the story meets justice. If you're a fan of fast-paced action, imaginative world-building, and spaceships with all the bells and whistles, this book will provide satisfaction. Good Writer, Disappointing Story Its not my policy to buy an ebook before I finish the sample, but this was one of the rare author's whose story had so engaged me that indeed I bought it before reaching the end of the sample. For three quarters of the book I was intrigued by what was unfolding. The main character, Eps, has just enough mystery to take usual conventions off, yet he filled so many others that at the three quarter point was utterly shocked. He assembled a crew, had a cutting edge tech ship that the bad guys were doing very bad things to get and even had part of an alien government come to his aide near that climax. Then the author disappointed me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Killbit-Global-Domination-Audiobook/B074P9WJ6W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The book reminded of a science fiction story along the lines of a Star Trek episode, with a little tiny bit of the moral analogies of C.S.

Hawkins Narrator: Doug Greene Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-17 Publisher: Beacon Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: There's no greater job in the universe than that of a Recon Marine. There is also none more dangerous. At first, Marsden and his team's mission seems simple enough. They are to check out an anomaly on a recently discovered world, determine if it's safe, and then turn it over to Science Corps for further study.

Members Reviews: Probably What Would Really Happen Realistic in that they were doing their jobs in horrible circumstances. Only complaint is narrator needed to use more inflection. Seemed like he was reading a report. a marines book! like it was written by a vet! Who was your favorite character and why? Bane!

Members Reviews: Another delightful glimpse into Jesse Kwak's intriguing Durga System Since reading Starfall, I have wanted to know more about the Durga System crime gangs and especially the back stories of the Jaantzen gang. Set before the events in Starfall, we get the story of Manu Juric and how he became a member of the gang. Along the way Ms. Kwak provides hints about Toshiyo and Giaâs history, but leaves those for the future. The overall story is another expertly blended mix of crime story and science fiction, highlighting more of the gangster side and using the science fiction as supporting elements. Plot twists, introspection, and the meaning of camaraderie enhance the flavor of this very tasty morsel. The story is complete and satisfying but it left me wanting more. What are the back stories of Toshiyo and Gia? Who is Jaantzenâs woman, hinted at here but critical in Starfall? I want more. I highly recommend visiting the Durga System through both this book and Starfall. Another great scifi story Another great scifi story! Kwak always demonstrates impressive attention to detail and depth with her characters, and Negative Return is no exception. Great read! Wickedly Well Written Negative Return is a fast-paced science-fiction novella full of suspense with seedy characters and unexpected twists. Who are the heroes when they are all villains? Even Manu Juric, the main character, claims to be double trouble. And, every moment is a life-or-death situation in their risky line of work. Will Manu survive after botching the hit job on the notorious crime lord, Willem Jaantzen? Well, let's just say that this is only the beginning of his problems. Negative Return is the second novella in the Durga System series, but it takes place before Starfall, the first novella. It's a wickedly well written story and I can't wait to read more in this series! Posted on Amanda's Books and More Great little book This book is a combination of sci-fi and noir. Who are the good guys when everyone is a criminal? The action comes fast with just enough slack to snatch a breath.

The narrator did a great job with the various characters voices which made following who was speaking. I look forward to the next book in the series. Fantasy meets a post-apocalypse world Magic has been used to cause all the worlds volcano's to erupt, ash blocks the sky and as a side effect the undead have risen but not just any undead, no it's undead dragon's who have risen. Talk about a challenge. Now many people want to get revenge on the one responsible while they struggle to find food, escape predators and stay alive. With more twists than a racetrack this story is intriguing from beginning to end and I'd love a book 2 to see what happens next. The narrator did a good job of conveying emotion, creating tension and making the story flow. The character voices were good with the main characters voices recognizable. This book was supplied free by the author/narrator/publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below, thanks. A Good Listen I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by author, and found it very entertaining. You can go wrong with a dragon book, especially when the dragons are the heroes. This fast paced tale has multiple dragons trying to fix the planet after human wars have destroyed it. It was a great time killer as I traveled. I will be checking out other books by this author. Decent book and story. It has potential to be a good book but I think it was to short for such a story. The author did a good job bring it to the points needed but a whole lot of details I think could be added. I do like how the author created the multiple class/ color of the dragon and the magic they do. Even had some undead in the story. I think I would have enjoyed the book a bit more with a different narrator. I did make t think the voices went well with the characters he was trying to build on. I am an narrator snob and will listen to some books that I have no interest in just for the narrator, so it may be that I am too rough on him. All in all do the sample. If the narrator is OK to you then worth the listen. Dragons' quest for revenge... Would you listen to The Fire King again? Why? Probably yes. It's a short listen and quite a good adventure with dragons as the main characters and humans as the villains... It's also intriguing enough to engage the listener, even though I'd like to have some more world-building or a little bit more background information of what happened to the world before the book starts... What did you like best about this story? The main characters - the dragon siblings Mianth, Tulvir and Hirador. They are very human in their behaviour, so much so that their personalities make the listener/reader forget they are dragons, except in a few action-packed scenes of fights/battles... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Frisco-2297-Audiobook/B06XWZR88H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Frisco 2297 Author: Greg M. Sheehan Narrator: Jim Raposa Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 03-30-17 Publisher: Greg M. Sheehan Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The year is 2297, and life in the Autonomous City of San Francisco is harsh and forbidding...for most people. For the elite so-called hereditary class, it's much easier, and they rule with ancient Roman zeal. Those unfortunate souls outside this group are locked in a desperate struggle for survival, subsisting on whatever limited resources they can lay their hands on. Monitored by the frighteningly all-knowing and capricious "handle device," each citizen's life is controlled by their ranking: a single number that determines what they're worth, and what Personal Consumption Resources they're allowed to have. Jake Forest is an obedience officer, and a non-hereditary member of society, with the impossible desire to join the upper class. However, Jake is thrust into more than he bargained for when the power-hungry Commander Titus Bullus makes his move to take complete control of the city using something known as the Peacemaker. This weapon is the starting signal for carnage on a truly Roman scale, and Jake realizes it's up to him to do something about it. The fight to save San Francisco is just beginning. Written with flair and wit, and crammed with non-stop action, Frisco 2297 is unique and ground-breaking in its presentation. And brimming with brutality, satire and comedy, this is a book which is unlike any other futuristic book seen before. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Greg M.

The characters could have been developed a little better. Would have been 5 stars except for the hook at the end. I don't appreciate endings that leave you dangling. A longer wrapped up tale would have rated 5 stars. I'm not exactly thirsting for more so I probably wont bite on the next installment. So So Not a terrible book but far to many questions unanswered. What/when was the great reset. Why was a Roman society in charge. ZERO Stars. I quit at 3%. The end of pages don't match the beginning of the next pages. Repeatedly. And that's just one issue. I'm not wasting my time on this kind of garbage. If so called writers can't present better work than this, they should keep it to themselves. Great book Great book but it jumps around alot. I will definitely buy the next book in the series! Frisco 2297 I don`t know what this story was about for sure, but the first 30% of the book consisted of white lines, like a censor would use. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dave-Part-2-DC-Audiobook/B01L7UCCDE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More madness! Having been left on a cliff-hanger at the end of part one I was pretty excited to get back to the story and I haven't been disappointed. There is more manic doings and silliness to enjoy and the plot speeds along nicely. I very much enjoyed the emphasis on Starlet, who is definitely my favourite character. This is very crude and occasionally gross, which is not normally my kind of thing but I really enjoy these books. They sort of remind me of the english comic sci-fi writer Robert Rankin. I will definitly keep an eye out for future sci-fi from Marc Richard. David Dear was perfect again and definitely a narrator I want to hear more of. My biggest criticism is the same as I had with the first part, because one novel is published in three parts it costs 3 credits in total, and that as enjoyable as they are 3 credits for one book seems excessive. I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work. Even more hilarious than the first one Would you listen to Dave! Part 2: D.C. again? Why? Absolutely! The narrator did such an awesome job! What other book might you compare Dave! Part 2: D.C. to and why? I don't think I've ever read anything I can compare this to, it's unique and it is great! Which scene was your favorite? "We are holding her for murder, also, her dog stole my penis!" Any additional comments? ************************** This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. It's a crazy, fun, and politically incorrect ride. Would you consider the audio edition of Dave! Part 2: D.C. to be better than the print version? Absolutely! David S. Dear does a fantastic job with the narration that you won't experience with the print version. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dave! Part 2: D.C.? Starlet driving 260 mph in a stolen cop car, wearing a stolen cop uniform, singing to "Lying Bit## Baby Killer". "Fu## Yeah!" What about David S. Dears performance did you like? David really puts his heart into the story and it shows. All of the character voices are unique, memorable, and entertaining. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, most definitely. Any additional comments? This second book I felt was much better than the first. The first book was a little hard to sit through during the first hour or so but it did pick up fast after that. The first hour of book one consisted of listening to a lot of random people's ramblings. It did tie some of the story together later but it was still hard to listen to. The story really is kind of a crazy roller coaster ride of political incorrectness and fun. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Liberty-Audiobook/B01M30D5DH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Liberty Subtitle: The Citizens of Logan Pond Series, Book 2 Author: Rebecca Belliston Narrator: Rebecca Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Rebecca Belliston Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Chicago is burning. A rebellion rises, but that's the least of Carrie's concerns. Patrolman Simmons is assigned new partners who threaten the security and secrecy of Carrie's clan. Tensions are high, lines are drawn, and Carrie feels a wedge growing between her and Greg. Haunted by past mistakes and impending tragedies, Greg knows he should distance himself from Carrie. He knows he should let her love Simmons, who can save her and her siblings, especially with money and resources dwindling. But knowing and doing are different matters. He's busy hatching a plan to salvage things when his citizenship backfires, and he's asked to do the unthinkable. In this stunning follow-up to Life, loved ones are lost, allegiances are tested, and old enemies plot revenge. At every turn the citizens of Logan Pond must ask: What price would you pay for the liberty of those you love? Members Reviews: I try NOT to give 5 star reviews. Couldn't help it this time. Surely it's not just me, but a lot of sequels - especially the middle book in trilogies - never seem to live up to the hype of the original book. Especially dystopian books (I'm lookin' at YOU Maze Runner!). But here in the second book of Carrie and Greg's struggle in Belliston's unique dystopian society, I find I am more interested and excited than I was with "Life," the first book in the series. Every page I turned I was more involved in the story and the characters. I wanted to get to the bottom of things. I raced through pages. My husband looked up at me at one point and whistled. "That book must be intense." Apparently, I was clutching my ereader in a white-knuckle grip and reading with widened eyes. I absolutely hated reading the last few pages because they were the last. I had severe book hangover. Took me days to recover. I really, really need the next/last book in the series to be published NOW. The book "Life" ended on a hopeful note, despite some pretty terrible things happening to all characters involved, and "Liberty" picks up exactly there. Our main characters, Carrie and Greg, have been through a lot but they have finally settled into a routine with each other and their community of "illegal" citizens squatting on government property. But no sooner is the reader getting cozy than WHAM - everything that could go wrong, does goes wrong. Chicago is burning, thanks to a growing rebellion of people who are pretty dang tired of the corruption of the new United States. They want their rights, their humanity, and their future back. "Live free or die" is their rallying cry. But pockets of citizens rebelling against the government can hardly make a difference. This isn't 1776. Greg doesn't want to be dragged into a war on the losing side and Carrie is blissfully unaware of how much this rebellion is going to rock her world. Without giving too much away... Greg finds himself between a rock and a hard place when the government makes demands on him, his mother grows weaker by the day, and Carrie's love for him threatens to end the help of their guardian - Oliver the patrolman. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Moon-of-Odysseus-Audiobook/B01IPN3G9U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"Blackjack, this is Scarecrow. I finally found it. We're going to be rich." Carl Ramsey gets a comm from an old squadron mate with a lead on the salvage of a lifetime: an ARGO battleship. The ENV Odysseus doesn't just represent more money than the Mobius crew has ever seen, it could provide answers on what became of the last ship Carl ever served aboard during his time in the navy. But experimental battleships don't just fall from the sky, and the Mobius will have to overcome whatever caused the Odysseus to crash in the first place. On an uncharted moon outside ARGO controlled space, Carl and the crew will have to contend not only with local wildlife and warring factions among the survivors, but a mysterious magical effect that renders technology inert. With the Mobius unable to fly and more potential peril than profit, can Carl bring himself to pull the plug on the salvage plan and just find a way to escape? Of course not. It's time to double down, double cross, and find a way to still get rich. Because some treasures just might be worth dying for. Moon of Odysseus is the eighth mission of Black Ocean, a science fantasy series set in the 26th century. Do you wish there had been a second season of Firefly? Do you love the irreverent fun of Guardians of the Galaxy?

The empire spans the galaxy The emperor is on his deathbed there is no clear heir. Now in the outer reaches the empire has invaded yet another planet. This time they run up against a very stubborn group. Epic battle is in ground, epic space battles and all told from a gritty front row view. Very well written and well narrated. Two great themes (coming together Two great themes (lost of innocence) and (coming of age) meet sci-fi. Great performance with character voicings. The story plot keep me wondering what would happen to the characters. What an outstanding book!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes this book was great, The whole concept of the book was perfect Sci-Fi and loved every bit of it. Who was your favorite character and why? Each family character was great, telling the story, making you understand that as much as you want to resist it might be better to comply at least a little. Which scene was your favorite? No Favorite scene this whole book was great I am looking for it to be a great series and I'm a fan for sure. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Early in the book one of the main character dies, I feel for the family and since I have lost a loved one I could imagine the pain the others feel during this time. Any additional comments? I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Felt like listening to an old time radio show The End of The Innocent was interesting in that it started out like listening to an old time radio show or broadcast. I don't think this was intentional. The facts of the case of an alien invasion were laid out and the coverage continued throughout the war and peacetime. There is a story in there about a family who is torn apart and then reunited through the war. The story takes place over a very long time and focuses a lot of the exposition on how things are, both on world and off, in the great galactic empire. As the story moves forward, the personal story of the family begins to take the forefront of the narrative and it becomes more personal. All this said, it is worth a listen. the story itself is good and creative. the lives lived throughout the story are interesting and you find yourself wanting to know what is going to happen to this family. it pulls you in. I received a free copy of this audiobook and have left a voluntary review. Relatable story! Well organized with understandable series of events.

Fun, imaginative, quirky in a fun way, overall very entertaining, and a fun getaway from everyday busyness. Interesting premises but not what I expected Chloe Carsen is a physicist working on an experiment involving Virtual Reality to access parallel worlds. She tries her own experiment just to discover a reality that is much more attractive than the present one. Things start to get weird when other people also try this experiment and access that same reality. Chloe will become addicted to this parallel world, almost risking her life. I have to say that this book got me hooked from the start. A VR experiment to access parallel world where you could become yourself in that reality sounds exciting. When Chloe discovers that her alternative world is more appealing than her things start to get interesting, but when other people trying the experiment, access the exact same reality, I was up for something amazing. The story was interesting enough, but sadly it did not live up to my expectations. The other two characters did not use the experiment more than once. I expected them to access the parallel reality more times and see how that affected the present reality for all of them. After this point the story mainly focused on the parallel reality and Chloes life there. There is a brief return to the present reality but it is quite brief. The story on the other world was okay but not super exciting. There Chloe discovers that she has a family and super powers, explained by dark matter theory. The problem here is that Chloe and her sons start making mistake after mistake (mainly bad decisions), and her whole family, Chloe included, started to be less and less likable. I just could not connect to them seeing all the things they did. I also had troubles with dialogs. Somehow they did not feel natural but forced. The writing style was also simple and to the point. Susan J. Iannuccis narration was okay. I had to get used to the special smoothness of her voice, which seemed to clash with some of the violent scenes of the book. She delivered good characters interpretations but I found her voice range a bit limited. Emily sounded exactly like Chloes sons, and Chloe herself sounded like that too sometimes. I noticed some breath intakes throughout the book, probably due to being to close to the microphone. All in all it was an enjoyable listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Garlyn-Das-Schattenspiel-Schattenraum-Trilogie-1-Audiobook/B019QAU8LK Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> Titel: Garlyn: Das Schattenspiel (Schattenraum-Trilogie 1) Autor:: Dane Rahlmeyer Erzähler: Tim Gössler Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 8 hrs and 42 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-28-15 Herausgeber: Projekt Future Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Der erste Teil aus dem Rick-Future-Universum - ideal für Neueinsteiger!

There is no escaping The Ink. Members Reviews: Nothing different from book one Every writer who writes a series will have the same format from book to book. The first book was original, logical and flowed, pretty much. This four-hour book two is a total disaster. In the post-apocalyptic society, resources are limited, people stay to themselves, and Ink is still a point of salvation/shame. Edsel is still psychological damaged over his inking. He is shy of showing his body and whines about his discomfort constantly. Now we must endure his traumatization of covering the red with black red ink. The process is so stressful for Lashae, his girlfriend, to leave for a timeout before she has finished inking with black. I wish I took a time out too. We must endure hearing his same complaints about his physical discomfort as before; the drying, chafing, cracking of skin. For some reason that is never explained, Edsel is on the most wanted list by the Eventuals. He is now a symbol of achievement for any Eventual for his capture. The action that follows is s a total repeat of book one; Eventuals recapturing and re-inking Edsel, Edsels escape to saves love ones; the lack of weapons/skill to defend himself, the travel difficulties in post-apocalyptic societies; blocked highways, gas shortage and walking; Edsel being the fox in the Eventuals fox hunt chase; he has a time frame to save his family, his physical discomfort from inking and leaving a comfortable home. This time, Edsels back is up against the wall with the threat of the Eventualsl inking/killing his family, not a dog this time, if he does not make it in time. If you like the action of them running for their lives (which only starts in the second half of the book) from the same enemy, constricted by his physical condition, then buy it. I wanted a little more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Reached-Audiobook/B0186DLDAS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Erratic, at times nonsensical, and oddly boring While Ally Condie picks up the pace in Reached (after Crossed had been painfully slow and downright boring with its lack of plot and story movement), in her attempts to finally fill in gaps and tie up lose ends, she gets lost. Much of what happens in Reached simply doesn't make any sense logically or otherwise. Yes, some key questions get answered, but the plot doesn't appear well thought-out and seems rushed and erratic. The allure Cassia seems to have on Xander and Ky is still a mystery to me after two books in the trilogy, and if anything, Cassia gets even more boring and less interesting in this final volume of the trilogy, where she focuses on art lala-land, while the world around her is in shambles. Xander is clearly the most compelling of the featured protagonists in this final book, but his development into basically the head medical officer - at 18 years of age - is ludicrous at best. The uprising and take-over -- drummed up over 2 whole books -- happens so secretly that the reader doesn't even notice, and the "Pilot" reveal is hardly to be taken seriously and seems like a true afterthought, so does the family reunion. All in all disappointing, though for different reasons than volume 2. I should have stopped reading after the first book in this trilogy, Matched, which - despite a slow ending - was head and shoulders above the sequels. Good ending to this trilogy Reached brings the Matched trilogy to its conclusion. I loved the first two books a lot so naturally I was very nervous to be entering in on the final part in its journey. What I found was a book worth my time with characters so wonderfully developed that it brings the âlove triangleâ to a close in the most natural organic way I think Iâve ever read before. Everything has been leading up to this moment, the moment when the Society will be overthrown. Our three characters are separated when the Rising finally takes place. Whatâs really cool about this is that we get to see three totally different views on the uprising. Three different regions, three different people doing three different jobs. I loved it! My only complaint that I have with this isâwhat was Cassia doing the entire time? The two boys both had jobs assigned to them by the Rising, but Cassia spends a lot of time doing something I am pretty certain was not officially sanctioned. That just seemed odd to me. Right away I knew there was something off about the plagueâbut it turned out that the book didnât go as sinister as I was thinking in my head which was totally cool. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Graft-Audiobook/B016YT3X1I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? I'm only a couple of hours into this book and am greatly enjoying it. EXCEPT that the editor has done a horrific job. As with a few other books on Audible, there is NO pause between scenes. You have to listen extremely carefully and not let your attention flag for a nano-second, else you miss that you're in a new scene and ... things suddenly don't make sense. I REALLY wish Audible would stop promoting books with this editing style. Don't know if I'll finish the book or return it. That said, everything else about this listen is a definite four stars, and I may upgrade to five after finishing -- if I can get past the editing snafu. Hey, Audible staff, are you listening?????? Please note that my three-stars for performance are related to the editing. I find the narrator most enjoyable; does a very nice job. Simple but effective. The plot line is classic and the authors writing is moderate. There are no unseen events, however, entertaining nonetheless. The narrator fits the characters and environment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mail-Horror-Bride-Audiobook/B012EHR3E2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Thousands of Russian mail order brides were sent to the US with a deadly virus injected into them. It wasn't till the Russians pushed the kill button that the virus activated and the mail order brides died and became Zombies. Only thing is that the virus can be spread through sex and/or biting, so every man they had sex with got the virus, though it wasn't activated in them till they died. When the virus is unleashed, it's so fast and unexpected that the US is taken by surprise. Within a matter of days the country is overrun and all that's left to do is survive! This was such a pleasant surprise! The name and cover are a bit off putting and made me think this was a cheesy Zombie book, but believe me when I say that it's not!!! It's a story of survival, it's a journey through the minds of people left amid chaos. We have a cast of multiple characters so I'm not going to go through them all. I will say that they are all well written and developed. They are quite a colourful cast too!! We have Raven, a teen who is on holiday with her family when the outbreak happens. She is looking after her 9 yr old sister but she succumbs to the Zombies and poor Raven carries that guilt with her. We have Maura, who is crazy with a capital C!! She goes to her exes house intent on revenge because he left her for a Russian mail order bride. Of course she finds him in a bad way. This girl is seriously crazy but I'm not going to say what she does because that would spoil it!!!Lol. We also have Cruz, a Hollywood actor who hears voices in his head when he doesn't take his medicine! Throw in a fugitive and a girl with no remorse and you have the cast of this!! The plot, while definitely fictional, is totally believable. I mean the idea of a dormant virus being injected into unsuspecting girls could happen! It just wouldn't reanimate them ;) Anyway, this was a seriously excellent survival tale. It's not the blood and guts Zombie book but one of focusing on the characters and the aftermath of the virus! We get to see the outbreak happen, then we get to see different groups surviving and ultimately meeting up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Quiet-Audiobook/B010RJR6DW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This would make a great mini series for TV. Wow...what if this really happened! If you could sum up The Quiet in three words, what would they be? Attention holding story! What did you like best about this story? That it had intense moments and just when you thought it would come back down you are hit with another intense moment. Which character as performed by R E Lamoureux was your favorite? Oh wow...she did great on all...don't think I could pick just one as they were all unique. Her narration between characters pulls you in especially when she is speaking low until WHAM...she builds into the next climatic event or " transforms" back into one of the characters. Well done. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Seriously had hair raising on the back of my neck throughout the story that at one point as the climax was building yet again, my neighbor knocked on my door...oh man...they heard me across the street. Any additional comments? This was my first audio book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I intend to seek out the other works by Robert S. Wilson and narrator RE Lamoureux. Love the story - wish it was longer If you could sum up The Quiet in three words, what would they be? Apocalyptic short story What was one of the most memorable moments of The Quiet? Love the opening - paints a good picture of a world gone quiet What about R E Lamoureuxs performance did you like? I thought his voice was really soothing. Would definitely listen to more books read by him. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It's a short book, so listening to it from start to finish would be best https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Palindrome-656-Audiobook/B01M3X68JW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great story. Fast paced read broken up to current/past sections that blend together MARVELOUSLY! For those of us who love to dream of space travel, adventures, having kick-ass toys, etc. this is a great book! Good character development too. READ IT!!! I loved this book I loved this book. I text to speech books in my earbud all day most every day. It is difficult to find a unique book. I enjoyed this one a year ago. I searched to find a possible sequence. It doesn't show up for Palindrome. I own it and had to find the full name in my content to find it. This does not seem fair to Waller. Plus, where is the sequel? A good read! This is an interesting and fun book, full of black humor and quick wit. The heroine (aka the monster) is very well developed, funny and charming in a gruesome way, and after a while you can't help but like her. This is interesting as it makes you wonder a bit about your own viewpoint but that is another story... The beginning of the book seemed to be fairly well edited, but as it went on there were more and more errors, which is a real shame. The author is clearly very talented at writing, he would do well to find someone just as talented at copy editing to make his books a success. 4 for the novel, -1 for the lack of editing I am looking forward to the next book! Action Sci-Fi With A Strong Female Protagonist/Narrator This story was heck of a fun read. In fact it is now one of my favorite sci-fi stories, and I don't throw that term around loosely. The Good: -Hannah, the narrator and protagonist. Have you ever read a story with a strong female lead where the author just tries too hard to convince you she is such a badass that the character ends up seeming fake? Its difficult to write a tough female lead and make her convincing without going over the top. Its a fine line to walk and this author does it perfectly. Hannah is a tough, resourceful, sarcastic, cigarette-smoking member of the Empire's Death Squad, yet she also gives the reader slight glimpses that she is also vulnerable. For being a self described "monster" she is actually quite likable (in a bit of an anti-hero sort of way.) The story is good, but a lot of its strength comes from the fact that at its core it has an interesting and well-developed protagonist. -The plot. It has a little bit of everything. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mars-The-Final-Day-Audiobook/B01LXD1AX1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Book from a New Author What made the experience of listening to Mars: The Final Day the most enjoyable? I like that the story is fast, you can listen to it in a matter of hours. While the story is fast, it does not feel rushed. You get a complete story, and a good feel for the history and people of Ikara. Who was your favorite character and why? I enjoy Jast. The weight of his peoples destiny is clearly one his shoulders, while some protagonists complain about their destiny, Jast accepts it, and makes the best of his situation. He is calm, and thoughtful. He makes mistakes like we all do. What about Matthew Wienss performance did you like? Matthew has a great voice, and I like his different accents for the 5 families. His Scottish and Irish sounding accents are the best. Any additional comments? I read the first edition of this book, this audio version is more polished than the first edition was. I am enjoying the evolution of this book, and looking forward to the rest of the books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Righteous-Reign-Audiobook/B01HU61D7A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Poor Production volume changes, inconsistent tone of narrator, you can easily tell when a section has been over dubbed Worst book i've met in a long time I gave up in the second chapter. Perhaps the novel starts with a badly signalled perspective from a muppet character, but I think otherwise. Factual errors, characters more wooden as Sherwood Forest, and hissy audio, have all put me off. So far, the book is about as subtle as a fart, about as sophisticated as a fart joke. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Spared-Audiobook/B01GGMO1CS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a fresh view As a voracious reader of apocalyptic prose, I found Spared a new and exciting view of the inevitable! Most of my time reading was seemingly on the edge of my chair, awaiting new and terrifying events! I especially enjoyed the "fleshing out" of each character, each with his or her individual story, as well as their story as part of the whole. An excellent read! At first wasn't sure At first wasn't sure about the book but the more I got into it I could not put it down now on to book 2 Boring Couldn't finish it. Too boring. Hard to keep a couple of the characters straight. It was just not exciting enough. A must read! Awesome read! I enjoyed this story immensely. Loved getting to know the characters. Love love love.

I have just completed this book for review and find only one recent comparison for you. Pretty Little Dead Things is the ghostly equal to Constantine. Gary manages to make you feel the very real fear of being able to see the dead and having absolutely no control over it. On so many levels I would go before a court and swear this author really has walked this realm himself, because he does it so convincingly. There is no doubt in my mind that Gary has tapped into the psyche you had as a child when you were afraid of the dark. That dread, that fear - he puts into words and he reminds you what it feels like to be utterly powerless against the things you can see that no one else can, and how horrifically afraid you were. He reawakens every nightmare you ever had of this kind and brings them to life in the tale of Thomas Usher and his unusual and unwanted gift of the dead pursuing him (not him pursuing the dead). This review I felt compelled to do before halloween, and wow it is the perfect book for this hallowed festival. During All Hallow's Eve it's believed the dead can walk among us. And Pretty Little Dead Things makes this the most real possibility than any other book I've read which includes apparitions and sightings of the recently deceased. However it is much more than a ghost story. To call it a ghost story at all somehow cheapens this read - because it is gripping, convincing, plausible, and a really good thriller. Without giving too much away - I can assure you that this is a thriller with crime overtones. Thomas Usher because of his unusual gift is called to help in a police investigation. The deaths are disgusting with an unexplainable ash on each of the victims. Usher suffers immense personal loss at the beginning of the book and this transforms his life. When everything you love dies - what use is there in living? It is in this mindset where he isn't living, he has no goals and nothing to look forward to, when the dead come calling in droves. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Forgotten-Audiobook/B00GRAEN5U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I generally do not write reviews but I'm sad to say this book was just exceptionally terrible. I think I've seen at least 2 movies exactly like this but way better. The dialog between characters was depressingly sparse and the whole story lacked detail. I never felt even a sliver of emotion or suspense throughout the entire book. The characters were so blank and bland that I never connected with any of them. You can kind of figure out exactly where the book is heading almost immediately. I wont ruin it by giving away spoilers but it really was the worst apocalyptic story I've probably ever read and lacked any originality whatsoever. I'm really at a loss to explain all these 4-5 star reviews. Loved it! Highly recommend! Amazing story of God - of faith- sacrifice, love and zombies. Enthralling and thought provoking. Definitely worth reading Excellent Another amazing book from Me Druga....however there has to be a sequel to this....I felt like I was part of the story..in many ways this reminded me in parts of The Stand...really loved this book...hmmm but the ending...needs a sequel This book left me unsatisfied. Jacqueline is one of my favorite authors...but I think this falls short of her usual wirting style. I didn't feel like I got to know the characters, they just weren't her usual "filled out" personalities. This book left me unsatisfied. Chosen ... but why? Flat out I will tell you I am a huge Jacqueline Druga fan. Pretty much every book I've read so far has been entertaining and intriguing. Once again she draws me in with a really great story line and characters in the book that you can't help but like. She weaves such a great tale and I just felt excited as the book was nearing the end because I really wanted to know what was going to happen to every one of the main characters.

Would you consider the audio edition of Colony Z to be better than the print version? Great find! Amazing narration and performance! Not your typical zombie story, the action is there, but the build up and back story is amazing! What other book might you compare Colony Z to and why? Perhaps World War Z. What about Scifi Publishing and Liam Owen s performance did you like? Wow, you can feel the tension, this guy is so good! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yeah, its one of those stories you don't want to end. Any additional comments? If you love thrillers and suspense, you will love this one! Not your typical zombie story Would you listen to Colony Z again? Why? Yes, I thought the narration and the story were excellent. Great build up and pace. What did you like best about this story? The ending was excllent Have you listened to any of Scifi Publishing and Liam Owen s other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, Liam is great, really enjoyed him in Forging Zero Didn't get far. I had to stop this in the 3rd chapter. I'm not a fan of the writing style. The characters came off as overly whiney and the dialog wasn't even close to feeling natural. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Preppers-Perspective-Audiobook/B00FQJVVQ2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nuclear EMP Catasrophe Would you consider the audio edition of A Preppers Perspective to be better than the print version? I think so, I have no problem with Ron`s editing but I heard some people do. The audio version has no mistakes and I enjoy a good narrated story. Having read the book and then listening to it gave me to great experiences. What did you like best about this story? Its realism, its not some lame shootum up like so many of the other prepper fiction or survivalist author genre. It also has lots of survival tips and tricks. Which scene was your favorite? I liked the shelter building, neat concept and resourceful Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I actually listened to the individual stories first because I like the bite size pieces. The smaller stories are more fun for me but since my brother likes long books I added this one to my library https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Polar-City-Blues-Audiobook/B00FA4VBSG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gritty detective tale with aliens Polar City Blues by Katherine Kerr is an ambitious attempt to render the traditional "film noir" detective tale in a sci-fi format. Basically, the planet where the actions takes place lies at the juncture of Earth limits alongside two alien races. Earth is clearly the weakest of the group and the frontier / inner city environs is coupled with an understaffed and under-resourced Earth infrastructure. The murder of a diplomatically tied alien launches the tale and the local police chief (Bates) along with a street wise ex-military lady (Lacey) gradually piece together the clues while trying to prevent galactic warfare. The sci-fi elements are limited to aliens along with flying cars, extra-terrestrial bacteria, and certain individuals with psionic abilities. There's a bit of romance and unrequited love thrown in for good measure. Sadly, Bates who manages to deftly handle alien interactions and eventually saves the day, receives minimal attention throughout the story resulting in a lack of character identification. The attempt to parallel the characters and situations to a traditional earth-side tales is overdone and the baseball fascination seems a bit too much. The narration is passable, but the various voices lack clear definition. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kovacs-2-Das-Unsterblichkeitsprogramm-II-Audiobook/B00TW3BINO Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> Titel: Kovacs 2: Das Unsterblichkeitsprogramm II Autor:: Richard Morgan Erzähler: Simon Jäger Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 5 hrs and 3 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 04-26-07 Herausgeber: Audible Studios Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich.

Members Reviews: This wound up being a great second book This wound up being a great second book in the Strandville Zombie Series. I really am finding that Belinda Frisch has an interesting imagination. And it must be very gory! Which of course I love! I normally do not enjoy when a storyline jumps months but in this it made sense. The first book shows how the zombie outbreak occurred, readers do not have to know every detail between now and then. This way the reader is able to get the meaty bits of the story, not the blah, blah, blah. And I think Belinda Frisch did a great job accessing where her readers were going to want to pick back up with the characters. I listened to this back to back and enjoyed the narration in this just as much as book two. I mentioned in my first review that it is odd to hear a woman narrator but Julia Farmer once again hits the nail on the head. She narrates the hell out of this! I really think no matter how great of a book you have, if the narration does not fit, then it just does not work. With Belindas writing and Julias narration, this winds up being awesome. One thing I dont understand is the plot story line with Allison. I will have to go back to ensure I am wrong or not but the whole line with how she took the drug. It was her choice but in this she decides to blame Zack. He completely takes the blame for her taking the shots. She did say she did not want to be treated anymore AFTER already taking the shots. But by then neither of them had a choice. I know Zack wanted her to take the shots but after the entire issues with the shot he did not want her to take it. So this entire chapter, about halfway through, confused me a bit. Doesnt have much to do with the entire plot, but with hers and Zacks it does make a difference. Thats just a hint of Belindas fantastic writing and although I have a few questions, and I am curious if there is going to be a third, the book ended with me feeling pretty good. I really enjoyed that Belinda definitely made it apparent that karma was prevalent in the apocalypse! Although, interestingly some people I thought I would like, I wound up not, and vice versa for those that I did not like. I think that again speaks to the great writing when a villain is able to turn into nearly a hero! I really hope if there is a third, that it will also be read by Julia Farmer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Spider-Legs-Audiobook/B00RW0E8Z4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Starts of great and only gets better! As a biology graduate student studying sea spiders (or pycnogonids), I am a huge fan of science fiction and monster movies, but this was the first science fiction novel I have ever finished. The science and compelling story line really had me hooked from the first description of the sea spider and its emotions. The suspense and entertainment this book provides makes it an excellent choice for anyone interested in the genre. There truly are not enough books based on weird and obscure sea creatures. Gets off to a good start early on After a little "story line setup" it gets right into the horror of the creature. I haven't finished the book yet but I am sure I will enjoy the rest of it as much as I have enjoyed what I have already read. One Star :( Novel monster and setting, but uneven development I was really intrigued by the Pycnogonid (sea spider) as the monster and Newfoundland as the setting. It reminded me of the creature features from the '50s when monsters were a product of man's ignorant use of atomic power and often were confronted in unusual regions. "The Atomic Submarine" (chasing a UFO in the Artic) and "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (atomic test releases dinosaur near Greenland) are examples. The ice floe fields, forests, and stone cliffs of Newfoundland offered an interesting (but underused and undervalued) backdrop for the story. In Spider Legs the theme takes a unique twist. The monster is not an atomic perversion of nature wrecking havoc among its creators as in the movies "THEM" and "The Giant Behemoth". Instead it is a planned mutation intended to take vengeance on an enviromentally ignorant mankind. Where the '50s scientist fought the monster to save the world, Spider Legs has the scientist create the monster to punish the world. Part of the wonder of the '50s was the promise of science to bring a better future, a view that usually put scientists in the role of saviour. Spider Legs reverses the image by pulling its scientist into the role of villain with the world's saviours comprising a team of more common folk (a self-educated fisheries officer and a cop) as well as a scientist. I credit the uneven delivery to the merger of the two authors' talents on reworking one author's manuscript. The novelty of the monster and the initial chapters of the book laid a great suspenseful groundwork for the rest of the story. The creature rising from the depths to attack the yacht reminded me of Benchley's great white or squid. Yet the rest of the story didn't play off the initial suspense, falling into formulaic segments that didn't quite mesh into a satisfying finish. The romance between the scientist and cop was amusing, but predictable. The physical deformity of the brother-sister characters was unique, but seemed not so much integral to the story as intended to add a touch of the grotesque. That the sister was a martial artist didn't sync with her antisocial attitudes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Revelation-The-Todor-Trilogy-Book-1-Audiobook/B00RW0E80O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story itself is very interesting and kept me reading, but the best part was the individual characters that I met throughout the story. The whole thing was very well written, but the way it was written, each chapter focusing on an individual main character, really helped you to learn about them, as well as learn about the others by seeing how they view each other. Gemynd, Nuna and Soman were all three born on the same day and were the only three born that year. When it was time for them to progress to the sevens (age), they learned that there were a lot more secrets than they had originally anticipated. As they grew older, and grew closer together (they were the best of friends), they found out that not all of the things they learned were the truth, and not all of the secrets were told to them that day. The author has a deep insight, which you can see in the way that she talks about the beliefs of these people who live in Aerie. It is a very peaceful country where everyone works together and lives in joy. Once they leave their land, they find out that not everyone is as good as the people of Aerie, and their lives change, not always for the good. I loved this story and recommend it to anyone who loves epic fantasies, BUT I was disappointed with the way the story ended, as if we were watching the season finale and had to wait in anticipation for the next season to begin. The books in this series are definitely not stand-alone books and I'm glad that I waited to read this one after I already had book two in my hands. Favorite quote: "I would venture to guess that you experience the most pain when you think of the future. When you think of having to endure many moments, many days, without Gemynd," she said, bringing a fresh wave of tears flowing from Numa's eyes. "But you could make the choice to not think beyond this moment right now. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Dance-of-the-Voodoo-Handbag-Audiobook/B00OL692I0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Chore to Finish I continued on to finish this series to see the ending, but I do not recommend you do the same. The series started strongly with Eclipse but became increasingly difficult to read. Shirley attempts to convey some type of profound message when examining the events of the book but the message falls flat. The retelling of the holocaust isn't innovative and the book is interspersed with amateur fan fiction. The ending is filled with a quickly written journey into some pseudo scienctific/mystical interhuman communication and a deus ex machina wrap up. The other reviewer called this, 'one of the classics of cyberpunk literature.' I don't know if he has read the actual classics of cyberpunk, but this is far from it. Don't pick it up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Meet-Bill-Audiobook/B00LGXHB98 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Uniquely engaging Robert Scarlato gave a good performance.and the story moved right along. I did not like the cliffhanger ending. A good start. A military science fiction short story, with hints Larson, Sheckley, and Heinlein. Not bad if you're looking for something episodic and short in the genre. I'll probably check out the next one because the aliens seem to have a cruel sense of humor, and I dig that. I was given a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Scanner-Darkly-Audiobook/B00CP5C6NC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Brilliant resurrection of an abandoned read Where does A Scanner Darkly rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In particular this was one of my abandoned reads. So like other abandoned reads I was interested to give it a second go, albeit as an audiobook. Amongst all the audio books I've listened to and I include audio books I've heard before using Audible, this is easily the best. In fact I would say for me this was better as an audio book over a traditional read. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Scanner Darkly? Anyone not wishing a spoiler , should look away now, but the disintegration of Bob Arctor particularly when he arrives at the clinic Which character as performed by Paul Giamatti was your favourite? Barris easily, I could almost imagine Robert Downey Jr taking over the microphone Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I would have liked to but I didn't have the time but it did encourage me to listen to the book at times I would not have listened to another book Any additional comments? Its a stark read, when you think about substance addiction, but this makes the read even more compelling. I also think that its an interesting counterbalance read when considering the literature of psychedelia. For me it brings into sharp distinction the irresponsibility of a book like the Doors of Perception, even though I generally like Aldous Huxley Full stars, no dark Sorry - couldn't resist :-/ Actually, though there is much bathos there is a good deal of dark pathos and a sincerely felt author's end note to underline that. More manic than most PKD and very entertainingly handled, with Paul Giamatti fully committed to every phrase. Brilliant and unforgettable Paul Giamatti is simply amazing and the story is visually engrossing. We forget this for a long time. Don't do drugs people Thoroughly enjoyed this, a true classic. Dark, deep, funny and thought provoking. Enjoy the trip! Harrowing Hard to get through at times.

Members Reviews: Canters along at a fair pace but poorly researched This is not a bad book in terms of plot or characterisation. It is nicely paced and generally enjoyable. However, it is badly researched with most of the details of period Britain being wrong - for example, there was no M42 motorway in the war and indeed, not for the next 40 years, Coventry was a centre of heavy industry rather than a college town, rationing would have made most of the meals impossible and so on. However, this is less intrusive than the overly flowery descriptions - a man never has brown eyes if he can have hazel, rimmed with long lashes and darting with intelligence. A decent editor could have fixed the craft issues in this otherwise quite enjoyable book. If you can handle a little overwriting and sloppy research, it is well worth a listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Alien-Bounty-Audiobook/B00BC2DEJ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any book is time well spent. I just think I could have spent it on a better book. It just drags. I can't say it was one of those stories that grabs you and holds you attention. This one just kept me hoping something would come along and start the ball rolling. At times there was a glimmer. But......it just never got there. If youve listened to books by Roger MacBride Allen before, how does this one compare? This is the second. I'll give him" A" for imagination. What three words best describe John Haags voice? Steady, unwavering, uninterested If this book were a movie would you go see it? No. It would be as disappointing as "Starship Trooper". Any additional comments? I hope Book 3 makes up for the short comings of the other two. I will most likely finish the series out just because I have to. Would not recommend this series to anyone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Squadron-Alert-Audiobook/B00B2SAI9W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Uncomplicated Story, Yet So Hard to Follow The story here is simple on the face of it, but I found the story oddly difficult to follow. I never found myself invested in the story or characters. poor What would have made Squadron Alert better? A better reader and a story that did,not jump all over the place What could Roland J.

Members Reviews: Hoping book two gets the ball rolling... Would you try another book from Roger MacBride Allen and/or John Haag? I hate to start a series and not finish it, but this may be a first. The storyline just doesn't quite grab your attention. I kept waiting for things to become interesting. Would you ever listen to anything by Roger MacBride Allen again? I would be willing to give them another try. Could you see The Ring of Charon being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? NO! Good Book What made the experience of listening to The Ring of Charon the most enjoyable? The story is very intriguing. An alien race older than humans and not aware of humans, this is a new twist. What other book might you compare The Ring of Charon to and why? Can't think of any similar stories. What didnt you like about John Haags performance? His reading is a little wooden. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No. Any additional comments? Very good book but you have to pay attention to the story closely to follow what's going on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Thomas-World-Audiobook/B009F0JPW0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He's been losing it for as long as he can remember. And yet, when a strange old man asks him to consider that he, out of everyone in the world, knows the real truth, Thomas' life begins to spiral out of control. He loses interest in his job and is fired. He refuses his wife's suggestion of psychiatric care, and she leaves him. In the end, Thomas is alone.

What if you realized every person in your life had been scripted to be there? What if you were haunted by the idea that you'd lived all these encounters before, hundreds or even thousands of times before? And what if the person watching all this time was you?

It reminded me of classic Philip K Dick. A very unique and creative storyline and I was totally sucked in. Well narrated. Derivative (PK)Dick - malevolent matrix With an author by the name of Richard Cox, of course a story based on the life and writings of Philip K Dick is to be expected. Thomas World is a tale about an individual who possesses many parallels to the famed sci-fi author Philip K Dick. While the tale begins with a seemingly 30 year old slacker named Thomas losing control of his life and mind, the tale gradually evolves into a series of odd coincidences including both allusion to P K Dick wiritings as well as paranoid, narcissistic delusions with some basis in fact. Central to many Dick stories as well as this one is the question of whether this universe is "real" or an artificial construct of some other intelligence. Inconsistencies with how the world and people operate become the basis for questioning and explaining all the imperfections around us that point to this presumed artificiality. Thomas gradually arrvies at the conclusion that he exists in an artificial reality centered on himself. Clues to distinguishing "reality" from fantasy are initially subtle and eventually are rendered unnecessary. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lords-of-Night-Audiobook/B009VJ6BCC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you listen to Lords of Night again? Why? The characters are distinctive, constantly giving each other a hard time, and realistically portrayed. The Ranger is intriguing. He catches flack for being loony (he actually wears a mask and thinks the military hospital's mental ward was a hoot), but in the end, no one doubts his skill. What did you like best about this story? Brannan is unpredictable. I thought I was getting a typical zombie apocalypse story, but there are so many surprising and creative aspects to this novel I was blown away. Have you listened to any of Jonah Cummingss other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first listen to Jonah Cummings. I thought he did a fine job. All the characters are uniquely voiced. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The end choked me up, especially the part about the chain of glow sticks. Any additional comments? I look forward to book two. Dull and Boring Any additional comments? I was really disappointed with this one. It sounded really interesting but it just didn't cut it for me.

Members Reviews: what happens after you survive the outbreak What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? most interesting: following salvage team 107 as they venture into different areas. least interesting: nada How did the narrator detract from the book? monotone voice recounting much of the story Do you think Age of the Dead needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? yes, the ending, while not a cliffhanger, definitely leaves the story open for a 3rd book Any additional comments? good follow-up to the 1st book. for those of you who may not have listened to the 1st book, the 1st book tells the story of brian, an investment banker, and his sister, sara, a pre-med student as they flee calgary as the dead come back to life. after rescuing some survivors, they eventually make it to coldlake air force base. once there, brian and some of the survivors he saved become one of the military's salvage teams, looking for survivors and supplies. age of the dead picks up about a year and a half after the outbreak. the surviving canadian military forces have been able to clear the dead from some areas and make some safe areas. for instance, they were able to clear the dead out of the calgary terminal and air field, but the dead constantly threaten to break through their defenses. this adds a nice bit of tension to the time(s) brian and salvage team 107 spend there in both books. this book is composed of a bunch of quests brian and his team are sent on. through these quests, we learn the state of different areas- the main safe zones, the farms and communities adjacent to them, and the areas in between. life is measured in simple pleasures- warm food, hot showers, and power. i enjoyed this zombie tale b/c it's unlike most of the others i've listened to. most of the zombie novels i've read always center around the initial outbreak or the characters fleeing for their lives. so, this story was kind of refreshing. my biggest problem was the monotone tone of the narrator. i guess it's not the narrator's fault, but more of the author's fault. this is a journal style story, and a lot of the story, except the action sequences, is read with a monotone voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dancers-in-the-Afterglow-Audiobook/B00ALZ4OH4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ondine was a resort planet. Sixteen million tourists traveled there from just about every world you could think of to live and love in sixteen million different ways. Members Reviews: A quick but profound glimpse of the future... Dancers In The Afterglow is a short but powerful book. Like a lot of Sci-Fi it looks at trends and extrapolates a plausible future wrapped in an interesting story. I believe Chalker was looking at three primary trends in this book. Collectivism, the personal disconnectedness of modern Western Civilization and man/machine integration. Today 25 years after its publication Chalker saw clearly into the future. Collectivism is manifested in today's political correctness which seeks to blur the line between the superior and the inferior, making everyone equal. In the West the young are purposely interfacing with machines more than with each other leading to a personal disconnect from human to human contact and integration into the "cyber world". Deep down Dancers In The Afterglow is about the demise of human soul more than anything. Mankind had made it's way into the stars and eventually came across an alien race - inevitably war ensued. The Machists stuck in a stalemate with humanity struck out at Ondine a resort world of some 16 million souls. In a race against time the Machists brutally transformed the human population into soulless, identity-less collective. The Combine of Human worlds struck back with their secret weapon, Daniel. Daniel was once a skilled fighter pilot, but a tragic accident left him clinging to life as a disembodied brain and spine. He was integrated into the greatest machine ever conceived and was set against the Machists. He was a soul without a body and the victims of the Machists were soulless bodies. This book is a quick read, but very well done and is extremely thought provoking. 4 stars! extremely out there it's been years but i still remember the book well and it is(like all chalkers books)really sci-fi out there. what an imagination! besure to check out "web of the chozen" too! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Reading-the-Wind-Audiobook/B00893VK22 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Series takes a turn for the better I will say this book has absolutely out shined the first in the series. The story bounces back and forth between the two siblings Chelo and Joseph culminating in a long deserved reunion. I really enjoyed Joseph's story and it looks like the third book in the series continues to expand upon the things he discovers about the wider universe they live in. I will say I disliked Christopher Kipiniak's portrayal of some of the female cast. Luckily since he's reading while Joseph is the POV character these instances are minimized. Lauren Fortgang once again returns with a solid performance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/KOP-Killer-Audiobook/B0087GLDTG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another solid noir entry in the series This is the third in the series taking place on an impoverished, backwater world. Our anti-hero again finds himself against forces with technology out of his league as rich off-worlders take advantage of the desperate population. If anything, this is the darkest yet in the series. Some of the events are extremely brutal and our lead character is really hitting rock bottom before a somewhat satisfactory ending and the promise of more stories and a developing story line. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wingman-4-Audiobook/B002V8MW50 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I finely wore the orginal copy out. Great novel for those who like the abstrack and mind bending endings. THE MOON POOL by Abraham Merritt The Moon Pool is a 1919 "lost world" fantasy novel by Abraham Merritt based on two of his short stories. Here, a scientist leads a small band beneath the surface of the Earth in pursuit of others abducted by an evil entity called "the Shining One," whereupon they discover a lost civilization on the brink of war. Merritt's writing is wonderfully imaginative and extraordinarily detailed. His ideas, his places, his devices, and his underground world are enthralling. The Moon Pool does have a certain charm. And yet the writing has a lot of problems. Pacing is the most egregious issue. The book crawls in many places, and for long stretches. This shouldn't be; there's plenty happening in the story, but Merritt's writing ranges between verbose and extremely verbose. The storytelling is further hampered by a cast of flattish characters spouting corny dialogue, a great deal of which neither develops the characters in meaningful ways nor moves the story along. Merritt devotes paragraph upon paragraph to his vivid descriptions of subterranean wonders, and yet the reader's sense of place is often poor, as Merritt can scarcely ever be bothered to tell the reader where, specifically, his characters are, or where that might be in relation to the other places he's depicted. There are other issues. It's painfully convenient how quickly all the characters learn the subterranean language. Much of the mystery of the underground world isn't resolved until much too late in the book, and then by way of a massive expository dump. The book's climax, an epic clash between warring factions, should be exciting, but the resolutions are clichéd and predictable. The Moon Pool has been cited as an influence on Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu." As far as horrific creatures emerging from lost cities beneath the sea to ravage humanity go, that seems reasonable. Beyond some basic thematic similarities, however, there's really no comparison. Merritt isn't read a great deal these days, and now you know why. On the whole, The Moon Pool feels like a missed opportunity, and it's too bad. As it is, there are no doubt plenty of better books in the genre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Omnilingual-Audiobook/B06XTRVL8D Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable addition to the series Any additional comments? A great addition to a series. This book was just as enjoyable as the first book in the series. It's a interesting, creative, humorous, fun and very entertaining story with a little mystery, intrigue and murder. You really need to listen to the series in order to understand everything. It's worth it though. Even though there is a scientific explanation given for the "ability" it didn't matter to me, once again I just let go of all reality, sat back and enjoyed the story. Since the discovery of Q-lapsing Madison's whole life has been turned upside down. Now she's being framed/accused of murder. She's the logical suspect. Once again to save her own skin it's going to take all her detective skills and a little help from her friends and colleagues to clear her name. Great cast of characters. Both likable and unlikable. Madison is of coarse a great character. For someone brilliant she is a scatter brain and has no common sense at times. She's a little ADHD. That actually makes her more relatable and likable. Although this time around she seemed more scatter brain and it almost got to the point of being ridiculous. Andro is also a great character. Meghan Kelly once again does a really good job with the narration. She has a very distinct voice that is easily recognizable. Pleasant voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. It's also one that people either really enjoy or completely dislike. I fall in the former category. I enjoy her narration. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Good character voices. Both male and female. Her voice fits the lead character Madison perfectly. She brought the story and characters to life. Very enjoyable. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily provided this review. Great Series Any additional comments? Quantum Murder is Book 2 in the Quantum Cop Series. Before delving into Book 2, I recommend listening to Book 1 first. The concept for the series is both interesting and original - the manipulation of reality through the application of quantum physics. When quantum crimes start up again, it's up to Madison to find the culprit. Although I really enjoyed Quantum Murder, there were a couple of things that I found irritating. Madison's constant forgetfulness and ditzy behavior belied the fact that she was an intelligent quantum physics professor. Her boyfriend of one year was all lovey dovey one moment and rudely throwing her out of his home the next. The story itself was more complex and imaginative than its predecessor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Silver-Rain-Audiobook/B01M9B7WLS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Entertaining, sometimes scary sometimes loopy For the most part, I enjoyed listening to this book, though there were a few things that left me scratching my head, like the ending. In a way I found that refreshing because I doubt very much it'll become a series, like so much of the fiction produced these days. Also, I'm not sure if it's my modern sensitivities at play or it's just a coincidence that the phrase "all lives matter" is repeated quite a few times. Though it could be just a coincidence, I found it noteworthy for some reason. There are moments that the narrative (and the narrator's voice helps a lot) becomes surprisingly creepy, and I wondered if again, it was my overreaching imagination, or there are a few religious undertones in this book.

Members Reviews: All's Well That Ends... Well! Great Satire! If you could sum up The Myoshi Effect in three words, what would they be? Satire, Relevant, Funny What was one of the most memorable moments of The Myoshi Effect? There are so many, beginning to end - the dual presidency, the invading Canadian Hoarde, the Owsley, Grace Slick inspired meeting of the leadership. The urine collection... onward and forward. Lampooning extraordinaire! Which character as performed by David S. Dear was your favorite? The entire ensemble of the story. The delivery and variety of voices. The flow and pace. Well done. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened TWICE back to back! Seriously, I have never done that. Any additional comments? If you are easily offended, BEWARE! If you watch what is happening on the news and just chuckle and shake your head or get peaced off then you should this audio version of "The Myoshi Effect". One of my new favorite humor audio books! Thanks for the opportunity to review it. This review copy audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost. What. A. Trip. This might be one of the most awkward books I've ever listened to. And I mean that in an endearing way. The Myoshi Effect is a bizarre and interesting satire about the United States, a girl sucking on a rocket pop, friggin Canadians, and many other things that I can't even list here for fear of ruining the book. If you don't enjoy good satire or a random laugh, then this book isn't for you. But if you like to laugh at the most ridiculous and random things -- this is a great respite from the world around us. The innuendos between the two presidents might be one of the funniest scenes I've read/listened to in a book in a long time. But, seriously -- Myoshi Effect was good. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I could tell that Yoakum had a point to it all (even if that point was to make the user laugh). And it was the perfect length to not feel drawn out. David S. Dear does the narration for it giving each and every character (and there were quite a few of them) a voice. Some of them were better than others. I definitely like the general who basically acted like a hype man, some of the Canadian voices (mostly because they made me laugh -- I live really close to Canada), and the two presidents. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Rift-Uprising-Audiobook/B01LXS4VP9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Foster Narrator: Claire Coffee Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-16 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The first story in the fast-paced action-adventure The Rift Uprising trilogy - an enthralling mix of speculative fiction and military thriller - in which a young soldier comes to question the monsters she's trained to fight against...and the monsters she fights for. Seventeen-year-old Ryn Whittaker is a Citadel: an elite, enhanced soldier specially chosen to guard a Rift, a mysterious and dangerous portal to alternate Earths scientists cannot control or close. Trained from the age of 14, Ryn can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL - which is good when you're not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an ax-wielding Viking is trying to make it through the Rift and into your world. But the teenager's military conditioning and education have not prepared her for the boy who crosses through - a confused young man, seemingly lost and alone. While there's an immediate physical attraction, it's his intelligence and curiosity that throw Ryn off balance. The stranger asks disturbing questions about the Rift that Ryn herself has never considered - questions that lead her to wonder if everything about her life and what she's been told these past six years has been a lie. Are the Rifts as dangerous as her leaders say? Should her people really try to close them...or learn how to travel through them? bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Amy S.

What did you love best about The Rift Uprising? The promise of a ever evolving environment for the characters to challenge What other book might you compare The Rift Uprising to and why? It reminds me of Sliders with the main plot Have you listened to any of Claire Coffees other performances before? How does this one compare? The performance was really quite good with clear distinction between character vocal personalities If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Possiblities are infinite! The Rift Uprising I quite liked it. It is a typical young adult science fiction. When I took a break I found myself itching to read some more and curious about what will happen next. I'm a huge fan of science fiction and this book definitely had it all! And it works. The only thing I didn't love was how quickly the romance between Ryn and Ezra developed. I would of liked to see it progress more authentically. Maybe only reaching full potential in the second book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Last-Marine-in-the-Galaxy-Audiobook/B01KVTZKTU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I loved the story line of the humans and the aliens coming together. it is something that finally does not have a negative view on all extraterrestrial beings! The narration made the story easy to follow and engaging. Would highly recommend to any sci-fi fans!!! worst narration ever I love military scifi... but undifferentiated monotone narration made it impossible to follow the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Weights-Audiobook/B06XNVJMT7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It certainly won't be the last! I certainly didn't expect the ending. But that's a good thing. LP Masters does a good job of describing the characters and their situation. At times it was if I could feel their struggle. It's not the first book of hers I've read. I'm sure it won't be the last. :) WOW! What a great short story! I don't usually read short stories, but this one just caught my eye. I was not disappointed! Great character development of the protagonist and a story line that just screams turn me into a full-length book! Five Stars Great quick read. Love the underlying message that we are all alike.

This review is for all 5 parts to the story. I really enjoyed how the story flowed. About the only thing I didn't care for was how exaggerated the part was about the cop that pulls him over. Unless he shows up in The Rock and has a major role, there was too much time spent on that arc of the story in my opinion. Now the rest of the story however, is a great read. I really enjoyed how real the story was. A good example is when he tells about the shotgun only holding 3 rounds because there was a plug in it to reduce magazine capacity. Granted, most tactical versions (at least in my state) don't come with them, but it is a realistic aspect that I really appreciate because all too often you have the heroes that never run out of ammo, and that really annoys me as a true second amendment enthusiast. I really related to the character as well because my step dad is a tinkerer, not to the extreme that Wil-ee-ums dad is, but I too learned from a young age to tinker, do projects, and put together random things to create something useful. I'm eagerly awaiting The Rock. On the author's website, he mentions that he's working with an agent or getting an agent so who knows when the next installment will be available....and I'm hoping it won't have some crazy price because I'm really put off by expensive ebooks, as you can't share with friends, sell or trade them after you read them...but that's off topic. Read all 5 installments of The Island, they are well worth the $1.98 you pay for the last 2 parts. Hand in there it is a good read To this point I have really enjoyed this opening series. This descriptions of the island and events are very detailed, if not, according to the author accurate, characters are interesting. The main character is sort of an anti-hero who responds well to being put in a hot spot. The community and environment feels almost familiar as you move thru the books. The action when it comes is fast and at times fairly gruesome but somehow fiiting with the overall mystery which itself peaks the readers interest. Definitely worth a read. The Island - Part 3 by Michael Stark It only gets better and better. I keep wondering how this breath taking Monet of words are going to play out in the end. Hmmm, I wonder yet know I can't even fathom how Stark is going to finish this literary work of art. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Spear-of-Light-Audiobook/B01G61SLXE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A lot of cool ideas and perspectives are thrown your way without a lot of handholding or definitive answers. Fun Read, An interesting idea to explore Fun Read, An interesting idea to explore. I will be looking for other books from Brenda Cooper. This makes reference to folks in her earlier stories which I will be looking for. A Book to Remember Actually, all four books in the series presented an incredible view of a possible near future that kept my interest. Very compelling Cooper likes to keep humanity in here science fiction along with interesting ideas. Cooper misses the mark with "Spear of Light" Brenda Cooper has had her ups and downs in her eight-novel career, and sadly âSpear of Lightâ (Pyr, 400 pages, $18) falls short of her best. âSpear of Lightâ is set in the same time and universe as her three previous novels, which concern humans and transhumans (advanced artificial intelligences (robots) that began as human beings) in a galactic setting. The Next, as the transhumans are known, are seen as a threat to human beings by many, while at the same time, many humans volunteer for the painful and sometimes fatal process of becoming Next. Thereâs political intrigue, violence, romance and after four novels, a carefully developed society, but âSpear of Lightâ (which may be the end of The Glittering Edge series, but may not) just doesnât click. Thereâs a major reveal at the end which comes pretty much out of nowhere, solving a puzzle that seemed secondary to the main themes, but otherwise the book simply ends rather than concludes. All in all, the four novels based in this society are all over the map. For example, one is a thinly disguised version of Eva Peronâs life which has little to do with the themes explored in âThe Edge of Darkâ and âSpear of Light,â which are a long way from âDiamond Deep,â the first book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mars-Journey-Call-to-Action-Book-1-Audiobook/B01GQSG0CG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Journey to Mars begins An absolutely excellent book about about the journey to Mars, which of course begins on Earth. We are introduced to characters that are smart and dedicated and not afraid to dream, but must overcome obstacles including government agencies and shadowy characters. This book is an insanely quick read as there is no fat in at all. You will be ordering the next book when you reach the end of this one. Survival or progress The spirit of competition, even with yourself, is a powerful motivator. However, in a team, overcoming the initial enertia is quite a devil before building up momentum. When dealing with the human species the notion of motivation of such is daunting indeed. It is on this level that the Mars Journey: Call to Action operates in the vision of Bill Hargenrader. It generates a sense of awe and enthusiasm in me when considering the challenges posed by this author by mouth of Brent, a astronaut who drifted rudderless after the death of his wife...that is until he realised what is really at stake. The drama is real, the characters crystallizing into larger than life figures. There is that indefinable sense of looming personality clashes and major confrontations as already suspense and excitement builds into what promises to be a a big series indeed. Wow! Bring it on. I'll be there! The Start of Something Good Most science fiction fans will find that the beginning of this tale is an exercise in preaching to the choir, albeit a necessary sermon for winning the hearts and minds of folks less inclined to favor space travel. But after addressing the practical economic and political objections to mounting a Mars mission, it quickly advances to a rollicking plot involving international intrigue and shadow government conspiracies. At the center of the story is a broken and dispirited man with an unconventionally brilliant mind, sort of a Sherlock Holmes-style character whose vice of choice is alcohol rather than cocaine (although that makes perfect sense in light of the fact that he is fighting deep soul-crushing depression instead of mere intellectual boredom). The enticing cliffhanger ending of Book 1 makes it a sure bet I'll be reading Book 2, Book 3, and wherever else the story leads! Finally, where space science fiction really begins or is it really fiction? Hargenrader has set the stage for a great sci-fi series with Mars Journey: Call to Action. His main character, Brent, is about as real as they come. A hard charging astronaut that could be one of many that have served our country with NASA. His character development has been outstanding with Brent leading the rescue to the space station, then losing his beloved wife to a mysterious auto accident. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Redemption-Audiobook/B01EGO0ERE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

You can relate to the characters. The characters are well developed. The story moves along at a good pace. Although it is not stated, it appears that this is just the beginning of a good series.

Members Reviews: Superb Bradbury Ray Bradburyâs Now and Forever contains two novellas: Somewhere a Band is Playing and Leviathan â99. Somewhere a Band is Playing is about a writer finding himself in a small town in the Arizona desert. Almost nobody has died in over 100 years, but all remain youthful. Reading this story is like caressing velvet: it is soft and compelling. Bradbury at his best. Leviathan â99 is Herman Melvilleâs Moby Dick transferred to outer space. The Leviathan is a massive comet that may collide with Earth and the rocket ship captain, years previously blinded by the comet, is determined to prevent the occurrence even if it kills him and all his crew. The storyâs interest is peaked with the knowledge that Bradbury wrote the screen play for the 1956 movie Moby Dick starting Gregory Peck. An excellent adaptation of a classic to another time and place. You can't go wrong with Bradbury! Bradbury is always a joy to read. He paints pictures with his words, and is always very cleverly didactic. Keeps you so busy with his left hand (plot, characters, story development) that you don't see what he's doing with his right, until the very end, when the moral instruction becomes clear. So unlike Classic Star Trek episodes, where the moral instruction is rudely obvious and in your face. Bradbury's Magic at Work I love Ray Bradbury. Without hesitation I can say he's my favorite author. And stories like "Somewhere A Band Is Playing" and "Leviathan '99" are the reason why. While Ray's particular brand of flowing, poetical prose can be a little ham handed at times, its often beautiful and part of the magic of reading his tales. I definitely recommend this novel to Bradbury fans and fans of fantasy and science fiction. Breath of fresh, relaxing Air... I bought this primarily for my wife because she was whining that she really liked the Air Supply song "The Great Pioneer" and hadn't been able to find the CD that is was on for many years. I did a quick search and after almost buying the wrong album, stumbled on this 2-CD combo of Now and Forever and Air Supply. Turns out the song she wanted was on the Air Supply album and not Now and Forever as she thought, but no matter. Once we received the set and threw it into our CD transport, we were simply taken aback at how awesome the songs sounded. Yes, not all of the songs were necessarily big hits, but nearly all of them were at least pleasant and we were very impressed by the sound quality overall. I still don't know if the digital remastering is primarily responsible for this result, but compared to our 1990s vintage greatest hits CD there was no comparison. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Coldwater-Audiobook/B015YCVCUK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sci fi is normally not my go to genre but this was fun! The idea of finding corpses with lungs missing ... What an interesting read! I was a little worried when it started out and had a military feel but that quickly moved on to a more apocalyptic story. Much more my style! Funnily, this is my second novel about Coldwater canyon. I may have to visit this place. Or stay way, way away since both were based around horror. This is more sci fi but there are definitely some horror type moments in this but for the most part it is an apocalyptic with sci fi. Sci fi is normally not my go to genre but this was fun! The idea of finding corpses with lungs missing made me quite curious about what the characters were going to find. All kinds of horrific things flitted through my mind, but it took me quite some time to figure out the whys behind the corpses. The characters are all quite rich. With the amount of action that is going on in this they have to be or they would be erased by the drama. Dumas was my favorite though. He just stands out! All of the characters are quite unique but the villain of the story is amazing. I love a good villain! I really enjoyed the narration for this one. Danny Campbell had the perfect voice for how I pictured Dumas but he does the other characters just as well. He has a raspy voice that is actually very calming with a hint of a smile that makes me feel like he enjoyed narrating just as much as I enjoyed listening. Very good production as well. A little slow in between some parts. Listening at a rate of 1.3 cleaned that up. The ending was pulled off wonderfully. Everything comes together but there are other questions involved now. It seems like Jeff Rovin finished the story but left it open just enough for a sequel. Received by author, through audiobookreviewer.com, in exchange for an honest review. Five Stars Gripped me from beginning to end. Really worth the read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Vanguard-of-Man-Audiobook/B016P4T3C0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Innovative Science Fiction The third in the Worlds of Man series, all of which are connected but can be read alone or out of order. âVanguard of Manâ explores an end-of-world scenario and the power of science to save humankind. After a series of disasters, the earth is uninhabitable and a group of scientists must take to space, where they create a fully functioning, living colony. The drama here comes from both the plot and the immediacy of the disaster, but also from the character development and interaction. Well written and thought provoking, âVanguard of Manâ combines hard science and exploration of character to create a unique and innovative science fiction novel that does not rely solely on devices or fantasy to engage. It explores character as well as any novel, and is absorbing and challenging in the best sense of the word. Science fiction fans will love it, but even those who are not hardcore scifi lovers will find a great deal to think about here. âVanguard of Man,â like all 3 of the Worlds of Man series, is the type of book that will have you thinking about it long after you've finished reading. A unique, mind-bending sci-fi As the description states, this book takes place on a colony ship that is transporting what our main protagonist, a Vanguard named Eric(a nano-infused immortal man,) calls "breeders" (aka normal humans,) to populate other planets and keep humanity alive among the stars. The story concept and first person perspective was refreshing. This hard sci-fi takes a different look at the possibilities of man, from the tumultuous/apocalyptic consequences on earth to populating alien (and sometimes hostile) planets. But what is most fascinating about this story is Eric. As a main protagonist he is unique, since he is essentially immortal, and very near to a god. His journey for knowledge and purpose in a life of eternity isn't often explored in an omniscient character, most likely because nobody has the guts to try writing one, but JD Lovii does, and I think he pulled it off. This is a mind-bender of a book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Technos-Audiobook/B00WL4MJ2A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As a fugitive, as a prisoner of war, as the captive bedmate of a queen, he continues his quest, seeking an answer to the question that is his life's obsession: "Have you ever heard of a planet called Earth?" Members Reviews: Gritty fun sci-fi I liked it. I haven't even read any of the other books, just book 7. I found the main character likeable in a tough 'gunfighter from out of town' kind of way. The sci-fi is fun, and interesting. The story is pretty fast paced, and the world building interesting. Would recommend picking it up. I was pleasantly surprised. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dead-Cells-Audiobook/B00UM6M8LG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ExZellent!! Shane is an average man. He's never been in trouble before but now finds himself in prison. One stupid action has caused him to spend time in jail with murderers, rapists, gangsters and paedophiles. He is up for parole soon and looking forward to getting back to his life with his wife and daughter. But when a new inmate arrives, bringing with him a deadly virus, it's up to Shane and a handful of survivours, to get out alive! I have to admit that the concept of an outbreak in a prison really enticed me. Despite reading a lot of Zombie books, I never gave any thought to what would happen in a place where you are locked up! This is a new aspect of the genre for me, and I totally loved it! Imagine having a Zombie outbreak happen but you are locked up in a prison, with no hope of escape!! That is exactly what happens to Shane. He has to navigate the locked rooms and find an escape before it's too late. I really liked Shanes character. He made one stupid decision but is paying the price. Despite his stint in jail, he wants nothing more than to put the past behind him and look after his wife and daughter. When the outbreak happens, his one thought is always of his family. That's what sees him through, and I admired his strength and tenacity. The plot was fast paced, though I would of liked a little more back story on the origins of the virus. It just kind of happens and we get no idea from where or how? I also wanted a little more of an in depth look at the characters. There are quite a few but we don't get a sense of who they are. Also the time it took people to turn to zombies changed all the time, some changed quickly, while others it took days. Now I know that maybe the virus progressed but it should of been explained more. Other than that, I loved the idea of the outbreak in the prison. Even with the things I wanted, the story kept my attention throughout, and I was rooting for Shane all the time. In all this is a action packed and addictive read. The setting was perfect and added extra tension. There were plenty of edge of your seat moments! I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to book 2! This is my first listen by Luke Smith, and thought he did a great job. Easy to listen to and follow, he held my attention throughout. *I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Progeny-Audiobook/B01BU6E4UY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I listened to the audiobook and at at first it seemed like the narrator was very monotone. Then as the story went on I realized that the characters were supposed to sound monotone and speak very technically because they were robots. Once I came to this realization the story became much more interesting. Excellent short! Very cool short story about machines discovering their origins of being created by an organic life form that had to flee their planet. I'm hoping the author has more to come in this series! How to shock an AI The 4 laws of conformity have maintained a functional society for generations: 1) Continue making units; 2) Protect all units already made; 3) Expand the knowledge base; and 4) Maintain variation in thought. Helen strives to follow the last 2 laws in her scientific studies. I quite enjoyed this tale of non-organic beings and their well-organized society. Helen and Lorenzo often join Eve and Roberto for dinner and discussion. Helen is a bit fascinated by the local DNA-based life forms, but the topic is considered a bit gauche. Nevertheless, Helen and her lab assistants (Ivan and Lorraine) want to continue their observations. What Helen and her assistants discover is rather disturbing to not only herself, but to her society. It was pretty cool how the author had the main character discovering this long-forgotten truth and how her immediate friends and colleagues react. Its akin to when humans started accepting that the Sun, and not Earth, was the center of the solar system. Ive read Perreaults SIMPOC books, but this is my favorite of his works so far. Definitely some food for thought there. What if a society developed so far and forgot their origins, only to discover them later? I received a copy of this audiobook from the author at no cost in exchange for an honest review. Narration: Christopher M. Allport did a good job narrating this book. His female voices were believable and his story-telling style was straight forward, letting me sink into the tale without being hung up on vocal theatrics. Sci fi in pure form If you want action, this book isn't for you. Fast paced, not for you. If you want an old school pure science sci fi take, then this is for you. The narrator did well, the story was well written but just not for me. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review Outstanding! Where does Progeny rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of the best. What other book might you compare Progeny to and why? Interstellar Have you listened to any of Christopher M. Allports other performances before? How does this one compare? Excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/SIMPOC-Human-Remnants-Audiobook/B017Y3E3W6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Another thrilling book in the SIMPOC series that reveals more of why the human race was all but wiped out! The adventures of the remaining people as they struggle to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones, prepare for the coming of forces possibly too great to imagine. Okay The series just doesn't do anything for me. It's only just okay. - - Gifted copy thru audioblast - - L. Addictive series can't wait for the next book. Would you consider the audio edition of SIMPOC - Human Remnants to be better than the print version? I would have to say better because I love the way Zachary Johnson narrates. Who was your favorite character and why? Alpha, I am liking the mobile version of SIMPOC. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, because I really enjoyed the first book and with the second book there is more human character development. Any additional comments? Great series, not to take away how the story is presented but I would have loved to learn more about the characters. I keep wondering how this story would have developed if this was a full fledged novel. But I understand that the author wants to stay spontaneous when he writes so I get why he wrote it this way. Not only I am looking forward for the next book in the series but I have my eyes on the other book about this series: "Virus: 72 hours to live" which is almost 10 hours long. I am in Audible heaven!!! *I received a free copy of this audio book for an honest review.* Mankind is on the brink of extinction. This book continues the story started in SIMPOC, where humanity has been placed on the brink of survival by a virulent disease while the two thinking computers fight theor own battles for their agendas. With an action packed plot, interesting characters and compelling villains, this was an excellent continuation of the story, and I can't wait to get into the spinoff books. Narration was handled quite well by Zachary Johnson, who did a good job bringing the characters and story to life. I was volunaritly given a free review copy of this audiobook by the Author. Great followup to Book 1 Would you listen to SIMPOC - Human Remnants again? Why? In a couple years, sure. What other book might you compare SIMPOC - Human Remnants to and why? Aside from the first one, I don't know that I can... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zombie-Dawn-Apocalypse-Audiobook/B01928QMDE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Here we are 10 years after the zombie outbreak took place. Survival is getting harder and harder as supplies are drying up. Our survivors are constantly pursued by the hoards. They are relentless and nearly unstoppable. As I was reading this final tale, I was in a state of shock seeing what the characters were going thru. The Thomas brothers have done a great job showing the reader that you do not want a zombie outbreak to happen. The good times are far and few between for our bands of survivors. This book will shock the reader as it progresses to the final chapter. I do not want to spoil it so I will just say this. I prep for this type of thing. I know, its crazy. But I wouldd not want this scenario to go down like they have presented it. Death, isolation, hunger, and dread are the only constants in this world that they have presented. I am so glad that I got these books. Give them a read, you will not regret it. This book has a lot of shocking turns that will make you feel for these people. Zombie Dawn Apocalypse (Zombie Dawn Trilogy) Good book and good story with a great action sequence. Characters are well thought out and sequence of events is riveting. Hey, I am writing a few year's of revies. This stuff is tedious, so give me a break. Four Stars Good story Five Stars Excellent Zombie Dawn Apocalypse I liked this book and the series. Each one is too short though and need to be fleshed our a bit. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Omega-War-Audiobook/B00S5HQOSM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We thought we lost everything, that we had no choice but to start over. No one is left living to remember these things, and that's exactly how they like it. We may not be able to fight them, but we have their secrets now, and that's enough to show them something they've never felt before: fear. You may not understand it at first, but these pieces, they all fit together. The Omega War didn't start on the day that everything changed; it started long before that. Witness the Last Great War as ancient nations waged war, all for power and control. They mortally wounded the Earth in their search for conquest. Listen as the first man to cross the ocean of stars tells you his tale, his fear, and his hopes for the future. Hear his voice crackle with insanity as something sinister stalks him in the shadows of infinite space. Feel the seeds of love blossom in the heart of a woman who forever left behind the safety of society to live in the chaos of the wasteland. Can a schism so wide between peoples who once lived in peace ever truly be healed? Members Reviews: Nope! this is the first audio book that I've ever returned. I listened for about 2 hours into it but really wasn't feeling it. I'm not sure whether it was the narrator or the actual story but either way, I didn't like it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Nephele-Ship-The-Trilogy-Collection-Audiobook/B00TMOTUO2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The characters were well designed, and the steampunk-technological aspect was great! However, there is one glaring issue: one of the characters who dies in the middle of the book is in the final battle. Still, a great read that I would recommend to any steampunk fan. A fun, action packed adventure The series was a fun read full of adventure and action from beginning to end. I liked the characters and cared about what happened to them. I wish the trilogy counted as book 1, and that more was to come. Would love to read more of this crew's adventures. Excellent fast paced story. Excellent story with a fast paced action story line. However, it is like three short stories stuck together. Four Stars A very good read! Aaargh. Truly.

Members Reviews: If Earl Dumarest is an existential hero, then he must meet a fair share of Femme Fatales. It seems that the cliches and tropes that define the Dumarest cycle are coming together in this book. We have Earl Dumarest on his quest for Earth and getting a scant clue that might propel him forward. We have the one-dimensional characters acting as a foil for Dumarest's quest. We have the greed and stupidity that kill people through indifference and oversight. We have Dumarest knowing on first inspection who is the fool and who he should ally with. We have Dumarest's speed and ruthlessness. But, now, for the first time, we have Dumarest learning the significance of the ring he received two books back, which, if you've read the latter books, you know, holds the secret of the affinity twin, which the Cyclan want ever so desperately. The book starts with the normal Hobbesianism of the Dumarestiverse - life being particularly nasty, bitter and short there - with a spacer being brained in a bar on Aarn. Dumarest doesn't hesitate to intuit that this means a job has opened up somewhere. He uses the opportunity to sign on with the most-run down ship in the Web - that portion of the galaxy where Dumarest happens to be this time. The story is set on the ship with some time-off for adventures on various planets. It is stipulated that the ship is run-down and the captain and crew is on the edge.The ship takes passengers and freight as it can. One passenger is a portly gem merchant who seems helpful. On a religiously backward planet, Dumarest fights for the life of the title character, Lallia. She's clairvoyant, which can happen in the Dumarestiverse. She, of course, immediately falls in love with Dumarest, declares herself married to him for as long as she wants, and casually offers to others challenges that he will fight to the death on a wager. My distaste with this book comes from this character. Lallia is by turns too weak and submissive, and, then, too conniving and egocentric. Obviously, Lallia is the trope of the femme fatale and that is the role staked out for her by Film Noir potboilers and detective stories. In my first entry in this series of reviewing my way through the Dumarestiverse, I compared Dumarest to Phil Marlow. [SeeThe Winds of Gath: The Dumarest Saga Book 1.] If Dumarest is Marlow, then he has to have his fair share of "dames" who love him but are always looking out for number one. The final score is Dumarest ends up in a fight to death for Lallia, a fight to the death with some kind of space beast, and a fight to the death with an agent of the Cyclan. He barely survives being shipwrecked. He finds out about the "affinity twin formula" in his ring. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dead-Last-Audiobook/B00PJDU6LQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The Bibliosanctum) Members Reviews: Weird Science There is nothing exciting about working IT. Nothing. Django Wexler found a way to make it exciting though, and all he had to do was throw in a metric ton of sci-fi and fantasy to do it. Sounds about right. It's hard to pin down, but I suppose if you took The IT Crowd, threw in some Johnny Mnemonic, then you might wind up with John Golden: Freelance Debugger. It's less than a hundred pages, and the Audible version I listened to clocked in under two-and-a-half hours. And the story just whizzes by with action and snark galore. So imagine a world in which faeries are real and they have a knack for infecting technology. Enter John Golden. He's like a Ghostbuster ... well, a Faebuster. Just a blue-collar guy with a particular set of skills and his sister, Sara, backing him up on the job. While managing to provide a good amount of tension and daring do through the course of the novella, things are kept fairly light as far as tone goes. A lot of witty repartee between John and Sara, especially with her serving as a bit of a narrator or voice of reason through a series of footnotes that complement the story. Kevin T. Collins and Jorjeana Marie do a great job bringing the characters to life with an instant chemistry that has them, if not battle weary siblings, at least a familial bond in battle. There's a second John Golden book, which I'll be reviewing soon, and after that who knows. I'd like to think Wexler has more stories in this universe to come, because if not then this is a cruel tease of what might have been. Interesting concept but way too short I liked the idea of the collision of fairies and tech and cyber security. Also liked the characters and the writing style. Plus the two character narration with comments inserted by Sara in between John's narration makes for nice humor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kyrathaba-Rising-Audiobook/B00OSI3WAA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sci-fi story with a small slash of fantasy. Where does Kyrathaba Rising rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is one of the best stories I've read. If you are are a sci-fi fan and enjoy a little fantasy this is the book to read. What did you like best about this story? I was surprised by all of it. Mostly, I was impressed with the writing. This was edited well. I really enjoyed the parts that they Tolkien parts. What does Christine Padovan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? This was the first time listening to Charistine Padovan. She did well with the story. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? For some reason I was reminded of Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I'm not sure why but I felt a connection with this story and Anathem. Perhaps its the style. Any additional comments? This book really blew me away. One of the best sci-fi books I've read for the year. An interesting mix of Fantasy and Sci/fi. This book is a hybrid, it that it tells a sci fi story but also has fantasy elements, due to some actions by some of the characters. Earth has been invaded and humanity's survivors live deep underground in vaults, trying to hold on. The aliens are trying to infiltrate and finish them off. Some of the survivors decide to try and merge with a computer network game in a closed loop they set up to give up their bodies and become the ghosts in the machine, so to speak, living their lives in an RPG game setting. Menawhile, the other survivors try to dig in and survive. With an alien menace and natural attrition taking place, will humanity survive? Read it to find out. The main characters are engaging, with realistic reasons for their actions, and are pretty well fleshed out. Some of the supporting characters are a little 1 dimensional, but not so bad as to drag the story down. The action scenes are well done, keeping you on the edge of your seat, and the whole struggle and how they survive is well drawn out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Siege-of-Seven-City-Audiobook/B00OL65LIU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not as strong as the first two This is definitely the weakest book in the series. The twists are not as good. The 'science' is glossed over and does not make any "sense." And yet, I really enjoyed the first two and this one completes the story so I am not sorry I downloaded it. Overall, I'd give the series as a whole four stars (if you are into zombie stories) and this particular installment three. worst book I have listened to on audible Would you try another book from Derek J. Goodman and/or Coleen Marlo? No, not after that mess What was most disappointing about Derek J. Goodmans story? The main character was killed in the second book of the series and the second character became a useless mess of vulgarity. Sorry its not a spoiler i am trying to save you from this garbage. So we are left with no one at all as the author desperately tries to make a new main main character of a moronic whining teenager/zombie. Actually worst it is a 19 year old zombie that acts like a 13 year old zombie. What we are left with is a stupid plot and endless teenager whining of life just isn't fair and no one runs my life..whaa whaa whaaaaa... What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Utter disappointment. Great story concept messed up by sheer stupidity Any additional comments? This is a clear concept of why the hero never dies in the middle of a series. Author failed at trying to break that rule. Failed miserably. If you are wanting to write a book, please never kill you main character and replace it with an adult that never matured past 13 and constantly whines that everyone is running her life even though she never listens anyway. excellent! this is an excellent series, quite unique in the zombie genre! well worthwhile! truly fearless writing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rayla-2212-Audiobook/B00OMDVDDO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Plot, complex interesting characters I really think that Ytasha Womack does an outstanding job with the book. The characters are complex and layered as is the plot and at times reminds me of a cross between fantasy and sci fi. I loved the unrequited love triangle between the three main characters and the twist at the end (which I won't reveal!) ties everything together. I'm definitely getting the next book and hope that she continues the series for many books to come. Very good first jaunt into Afrofuturism Very good first jaunt into Afrofuturism. I was advised to read this from my brother-in-law, and I'm glad I took it up. Fun, historical, serious and trippy. It was like reading a melding of black power Vulcan mind melding. The early parts with Michael Jackson actually made me go back to childhood. While it seemed a bit long, it in no way diminished the story. Seems black folk can't even get their own world without haters messing with it. Kudos to Ms. Womack! An Awesome Work I think Ms. Womack does and outstanding job with the Rayla series.. form the short stories to this book I see Rayla in the same vain as Katniss, Beatrice "Triss" Prior, and Neo.. Check this book out when you have a chance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Chimpanzee-Audiobook/B00OAMOOK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The government is overwhelmed, crushed by national and personal debt and the corresponding lack of revenue. Benjamin Cade has lost his teaching job, and like so many others, has defaulted on his student loans. Technology and economics have come up with a solution. If you dont pay for your education you lose it. Cade must now go through the grueling brain therapy that repossesses his PhD while simultaneously working in a government work detail translation: chain gang. When theyre done, he wont be able to remember the things he learned or discovered during his doctoral program. This innovative novel is not for everyone, but for the right audience is an exceptional work of fiction and performance. Part pedagogy and part Sci-Fi dystopia, the listener is constantly challenged both intellectually and philosophically. Is the American Dream really this banal? This is not simply a narrated novel; it is a performance piece with multiple voices, music and sound effects. It is generally well done and effective, giving us ambiance when Cade goes to a party, or static when Cades education is being blocked. The production is odd at times however, giving unnecessarily long pauses between character dialogue or scene changes. This is sometimes confusing (intentionally?), but not enough to detract from an otherwise excellent and unique performance audio-book. The author is the main narrator and does an excellent job reading his own novel. No one knows the story better than its author. The music is great and you will want to find out who the bands are (listed at the end of the novel). Pick up Chimpanzee because you want to be challenged, want to think about the future, about real possibilities and important ideas. If you are a lover of Philip K. Dicks last novels, paranoid and identity confusing, Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 or Cory Doctorows many near-future dystopian novels, you will likely enjoy this book. At six hours, it is a relatively short listen, but packed with a lot of information. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ill-Cry-Alone-Audiobook/B00JQN1MWW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What happens when a guided hunting excursion to the Cretraceous gets hijacked by one of the members of the tour? Ethab, who chartered the tour, wants to bag a T.Rex. The trip goes wrong at the start when they are set down practically on top of a Deinonychus, a man-sized predator, that for some reason doesn't show up on the tour guides' sacanners. One of the members of the chart5er panics and as a result, the predator destroys much of their equipment. Ethab will not anything stand in the way of his killing a T.Rex. He quickly takes over the group, reducing the legally required guides to little more than warning beacons, which Ethab ignores. He also ignores the mishaps which result in the death of one of the members of the group and the severe PTSD of another member. The action is fast and constant in this book, and the interplay between the various characters is very interesting as the members of the charter try to retain their status in Ethab's eyes, while the two guides try to keep the members of the charter alive despite Ethab's disregard of their expertise. There are a couple of spots where it drags a little. Gerrold gets caught up in philosophizing, but I just skimmed through those until the action started up again. The ending was too abrupt for my taste, but then I'm one of those people who likes long, lord of the Rings type endings. If you like action, dinosaurs and science fiction, you will enjoy this book! Imagination run wild The author must have a very vivid imagination to write this story in such a spellbinding manner . I must warn the readers that death by dino is well documented. The action is fast and breathtaking at times. I read it all as fast as I could. Laundry had to wait. Second maybe First Favorite book I have every read. Would LOVE to see this turned into a movie. There is a movie with the same title but Not from this book. As I read this book I could see it as a movie all the characters that should or could play the parts an I can even still imagine most of the book as I think about it. I will be reading it again soon and I am sure I will read it again and again.

Members Reviews: A Hero Would you listen to Revise the World again? Why? Probably not. I have never listened to the same book twice. What other book might you compare Revise the World to and why? Connie Willis! And that is a HUGE compliment. Captain Titus Oates is that rarest of literary characters: extraordinary... and credible. He is an alien: an Edwardian gentleman. He is incredible and incomprehensible. And very human. The secondary characters are somewhat overwhelmed by "Cap", but they are full enough to give him relief. I will be listening to more Clough, in hopes of finding someone as riveting as Titus. Which character as performed by Eric Yves Garcia was your favorite? Duh If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The charge of the light brigade. Any additional comments? There's a story, of course. A good one.

Members Reviews: Well done! I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed this sequel just as much as the first book. While Cooper remains the primary focus of the story, several other characters are just as interesting as Cooper. This book presents more detail concerning the events that have decimated the human population, but keeps the focus of the story in the present. Cooper and friends undertake a couple of journeys and learn much, but not without considerable difficulty and a couple of surprises. Overall, I have to say that the positive attitude prevailing in both of the books is the main reason I found them compelling reading. Sometimes we need to be reminded that people are fairly smart and resourceful, and pretty good at rebounding from disaster. It's refreshing to read a post-apocalyptic story that portrays people with more hope than despair. Loved the humor, as well - where there are people, there will always be beer. ~~Brewers and the Backpacks~~ A small group of the Brewers (including Cooper) decide to return to the City within the walls. Of course, Lupe and Rufus go with them! What their group finds is not what they thought it would be, however. Meanwhile, Handro, a young man, makes his appearance back in the new village. He is skeptical of people as he has lived his entire life as a nomad. His parents raised him with the belief of never trusting anyone. Cooper does eventually become friends with Handro and they go on a river excursion to the North. And, what they find there will eventually bring this story full circle. Most interesting series and I enjoyed the humor as well as the story. Love the dogs, too. Most highly recommended. Part 2 I was eagerly awaiting the sequel toDown The Pathand could not be more pleased to see the results. The sequel is better than the original, possibly because the reader already has an established relationship with the characters, or because the author's more seasoned now. I think the plot is more suspenseful as well, with Mohrman doing a great job of pacing Cooper's discovery of the bunker. It's nice to have an apocalypse-y story that doesn't make you lose all faith in humanity like most others do these days, if you still have any to begin with (some days I don't). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Adventure-of-the-Field-Theorems-Audiobook/B00GRAI6OE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I loved the reader, he has a great voice and flowed beautifully in and out of different accents. The story was intriguing, with witty dialogue which had me laughing out loud quite a few times.

New Amana is dying. Food and water are scarce, and people suffering from radiation-caused mutations - the Nukehead - are the new class of homeless. Vika has just one purpose: to produce healthy progeny using a Husband assigned by the Match Clinic. Unhealthy children are carted away to Asylums to be experimented on, just as Vika's little sister Ceres was, eight years ago. Parents incapable of producing healthy progeny are put to death in gas chambers. When she's assigned a Husband shortly after her twentieth birthday, Vika expects him to be complacent and obedient. But Shale Underwood has a secret. He is a member of the Radicals, the terrorist group intent on overthrowing the government. And Shale has information about Ceres. As she learns more about the Rads's plan, Vika finds herself drawn to Shale in ways she'd never imagined. When freedom calls in the way of a healthy pregnancy, will she betray her government and risk death for Shale and Ceres? bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (S. K.

Members Reviews: Excellent debut by Adriana Ryan I picked up this book during a two week illness and finished it in just a couple days. As I've found it difficult to finish books lately, this was a surprise. Since others have already covered the quality of the writing and the plot, I'll review what struck me as fascinating thematic aspects of the book. From the very first chapter, Ryan creates a chilling juxtaposition of an ancient assumption about women: that our only value comes from bearing children. Instead of the traditional meaning imposed by a patriarchal society, in World of Shell and Bone it has become a value judgment in an entirely matriarchal society struggling to repopulate the earth after a nuclear disaster that wiped out most of humanity. The gender relations in the book create a polarity of the extremes of both sexes -- from the government regime's hatred and disdain of men (who presided over the world's destruction and carry the blame) to the Rads and their pejorative terms toward women and a the threat of sexual violence hovering beneath their words. In that world, protagonist Vika Cannon is funneled through changing expectations, desperation, and her emotions for a man assigned to her. Her world is reminiscent of Orwell's 1984 dystopia in that everyone watches everyone for signs of treason, and where people vanish under the weight of hearsay alone. I definitely recommend World of Shell and Bone to anyone who is a fan of fast-paced plots driven by three dimensional characters and smooth, often beautiful prose. You won't be disappointed. Starts Out Really Good... This review and others can be found on my blog. The description sounds intriguing, doesn't it? That combined with that pretty cover enticed me to read this book (still not sure how the cover relates to the book). I really liked the first half of the book. I did find some parts a little far fetched. Basically there was a really big war, a nuclear war. Lots of men went off to fight and most of them died. New Amana is made by "feminist" women rising up to take the lead. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lost-Everything-Audiobook/B00BJQ72AU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

However, the narrator speaks as though it was a 1940's newsreel, and the characterisations are poor. Seems a shame. I think I might read the hardcopy version, as I sense, especially towards the end, that I was missing something extraordinary. Don't waste your money! I will usually always struggle through a book I spent money on. This one is terminal, the narration is poor, at best, the story is very hard to get into, impossible to stay with.

Members Reviews: 4 stars for a 5 star author Any additional comments? Im a bid WCD fan. I have listened to most of his books and i fallow him on FB to keep up with new releases. I read the first 3 in the series a long time ago. SO after being accustomed to his later works it was fun to go back to a sophomore series of his. It shows how he has become better at his art. So don't expect a Legion novel here. Its still a good story and the narrator does a fine job. So glad I listened to these. Do yourself a favor and follow this series from the beginning. The narrator had a little trouble with the first book, but was measurably better by the second, forward. The story is wonderful and keeps you going. I'm glad I could listen, as I wouldn't have gotten anything done if holding a book.

I really wanted to like "Drynn." Unfortunately, chapter upon chapter of tiresome exposition ruined the story for me. Characters are forever standing around talking or meeting in restaurants and talking or standing in apartments talking or ruminating in their own heads frequent, protracted internal monologues. Very little action here, and not a true science fiction, either. Also, have to mention that the author has some weird obsession with eyes, giving endless descriptions of eye colors and facial expressions. One positive: The narration is quite good, although the speaker occasionally struggles with the pronunciation of some fairly common words. Would you ever listen to anything by Steve Vera again? Probably not. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Bedlam-Audiobook/B00B4U4YHK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have listened to all other Brookmyre's available so i am a fan of his approach to story telling. Bedlam is definitely classic Brookmyre. It is a cheeky, black-humoured and surprising tale that covers off some interesting observations about 21st century life. I persisted for old times sake If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? Genuinely not sure who this is aimed at. Sure, long-term admirers like myself will give it the benefit of the doubt because we know Brookmyre has a brilliant voice and tells a great tale. However, I wouldn't recommend this as an introduction. What do you think the narrator could have done better? He made a decent fist of it but there wasn't a great deal of scope for him to work with. What character would you cut from Bedlam? A few more decent characters would have helped. Any additional comments? I'll be back for Brookmyre's next effort. He is always worth listening to. Hold on to your hats What did you like most about Bedlam? So different - so unexpected What did you like best about this story? I really had no idea where we were going at times which made it a really exciting read Which scene did you most enjoy? The beginning - i was so confused then so enlightened, it really was a blast Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Would have liked to - def stayed in the car to listen to the end of parts of the action Any additional comments? Different but wonderful a ok this genre is right up my alley, and the story premise is good, but I found this book slow, at times irritating and only being interesting towards the end. narration was OK. I love Scottish accent and narrator's done an alright job here, but sometimes it felt like he fell into a rut. Poor start but gets so much better! I've always loved video games and science fiction so this book very much appealed to me from the get go. On listening to the sample the narrators accent also drew me into listening to the book. However, the book, in my opinion, had a very poor beginning. I am not a prude but the amount of foul language during the first few chapters almost made me stop listening altogether. I felt it unnecessary and jarring and that it disrupted my enjoyment of the story. Thankfully, the swearing decreased significantly as the book progressed and I suddenly found myself completely hooked! Despite the narrators best attempts at different American accents (not convinced they are his strong suit) his clarity in reading and fresh voice made listening a very enjoyable experience. I loved the parts of the story when Ross enters new worlds and during his descriptions of the new landscape or atmosphere I found myself attempting to guess the game he was in (was very chuffed when I got a few right). The twist and ending of the story was very satisfying. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Paradise-Audiobook/B00APND1EY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Three strikes and I'm out What would have made Paradise better? The entire story was told without much emotion at all. Which is strange because the story is a story about an interview, and is told as the first-person narrator relates the story to the interviewer; he is relating his life's adventures on a remote frontier-planet - my thoughts are that it SHOULD have been exciting to tell. Maybe the interviewee was monotone and boring, and that's what the director asked for, so that is what we got. Has Paradise turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I am a big fan of interstellar exploration sci-fi, but this book reads like an African safari story written by a colonialist bigot talking about how it "just isn't the same since we mined out this region," or "before we hunted them 'nonsense-word' to extinction, you couldn't throw a stone without hitting 20." Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Zach Herries? It's hard to say, he may only be reading as the director instructed. But if I wanted to "just read the book" I could have done that myself. It was a flavorless and forgetable narration. George Guidall is an icon in narration because he can make even the slowest story move well - I would like to see what he could do for this one. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It just never grabbed my interest. I listened to it three times, and it was emminently forgetable. I tried to use it as a focal point and as a background listen, neither method helped. The third time just sealed its fate with me. Any additional comments? Please take it back and give me a credit to listen to anything else. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dead-Earth-The-Vengeance-Road-Audiobook/B00A7XUG04 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: good b movie material What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) a zombie novel WITH an ending. and a satisfying ending. how novel! lol What three words best describe James Snyders performance? i totally dig j snyder's performance. i've liked his narration since i heard him narrate the day by day armageddon series. Was Dead Earth: The Vengeance Road worth the listening time? yes, it is a quick fast-paced story you can finish in one sitting. Any additional comments? good b movie material! earth...the not too distant future. area 51...military experiment in string theory accidentally opens a portal to an alien world. strange gas pours through, turning humans into zombies. the story starts some time after that event. zombies have trashed central and northern america. not much is known about the rest of the world b/c most of the world net is down. dead earth follows 2 groups of survivors in mexico. one group is led by luther kemp and composed of bikers and other dregs of society. mother is one of luther's enforcers. while not as sadistic as the others, mother stays with the group b/c there's safety in numbers. one of the aliens sees luther's group of misfits ferociously battling a horde of zombies and decides to freeze the zombies. the alien drops a metallic ring by luther and he puts it on his head. this ring transmits the aliens' instructions to luther and allows him to control the zombies. as the story progresses, luther is slowly transformed by the mysterious ring. the other group of survivors is led by jubal slate. they are composed of other survivors who want to take the fight to the enemy instead of just hiding. wallly, the old guy, is a jack of all trades. mike and jewel were raised as fighters by their mysterious father, who seemed to know something about the experiments at area 51. mike has an implant that allows him to interact with what's left of the world net. these 2 groups have skirmishes as they both race to area 51. i like being surprised when main characters are bitten or killed. overall, it was a pretty fun fast-paced story with a satisfying ending. although, there is enough story left for a possible sequel. as a side note, this is the 2nd book in the series. i just learned that after googling the book's title. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Best-Rootin-Tootin-Shootin-Gunslinger-in-the-Whole-Damned-Galaxy-Audiobook/B00APNCH0S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Funny, funny book So there's this Doctor Jones who goes poking about the world looking for treasure and such in the 1920s and 30s, but his first name isn't Indiana (or even Henry): it's Lucifer. This is the third or fourth volume of the tales of Lucifer Jones, depending on how you count. The first volume was _Adventures_. The second and third were _Exploits_ and _Encounters_, but I first saw them in a single volume called _Lucifer Jones_. Lucifer Jones, or more properly (or improperly) The Right Reverend Doctor Lucifer Jones, is the pastor of a religion what he and the Lord worked out between themselves one afternoon in Moline, Illinois. His religious activities mostly consist of seeking donations to build the Tabernacle of Saint Luke (guess who that is...) and saving fallen women, mostly for himself. In the first three or two volumes, Jones has got himself barred from Africa, Asia, and Europe - North America came before the series started. This happens because he is not merely a ne'er-do-well looking for the big chance, he's that combination of sneak and innocent that manages always to miss the big chance, to cheat himself out of the prize. _Hazards_ finds him in South America, where his run of self-made bad luck continues, as he meets old acquaintances like the Scorpion Lady, the hunter Catch-em-all Calhoun who brings 'em back alive (but not necessarily intact), and Erich von Horst, who manages to outcon him twice in this volume, mainly by relying on Jones's greed. He discovers the Island of Annoyed Souls, the Lost Continent of Moo, and the Forgotten Kingdom of Macho-Something-Or-Other. And much, much more. The books are, and this one certainly is, fast-moving and funny as hell, as Jones's combination of hurt innocence and man-of-the-world bravado keep him contradicting himself and the facts, and in the course of the dozen or so chapter/stories it contains, Jones manages to find himself barred from yet another continent, leaving Australia the only habitable major land mass he can go to ... but that's for another book, which I hope Resnick will write soon. or nodding that there is no way anyone can be that dumb. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hail-Hibbler-Audiobook/B009VR1OGW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Not a bad story, but certainly the weakest of the trilogy. a little convoluted near the middle and end. just nit as compelling as the previous books. New narrator It was a bit disappointing (initially) that the same narrator wasn't used, but I quickly became accustomed to him. He did a fine job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mask-of-the-Other-Audiobook/B00FH4IPUQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is very good, though the narrator is only mediocre. Interesting story too bad about the narrator I bought this book because I really enjoy Greg Stolze's work and the premise had me interested. It took less than an hour for the narrator to drive me out of my gourd. He sounds bored. Bored and sarcastic. I think I'll get the book and read it. Audio books are my preferred medium but this is too muck An interesting modern take on the Cthulhu Mythos Greg Stolze's Mask of the Other tells its story by frequently jumping back and forth in its roughly 25 year timeline. This was slightly confusing in the beginning, but I came to appreciate it as the different plots converged on the novel's present day outcome. This is certainly not high literature, but a fast-paced, action-packed modern spin on the Cthulhu Mythos with compelling characters, an interesting (if not exactly new) premise. The narration is decent and doesn't detract from the novel's strength, but nothing to write home about. If you're looking for fun genre reading that does not offend your intellect, pick this up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/ARkstorm-Audiobook/B00F9A6GFO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For the preppers attending PrepperStock this year, the troubles brought about by this disaster have just begun as the economy begins a slow collapse and acts of terrorism threaten America's survival. Our story follows several preppers and family members through daily life leading into the beginning of the ARkStorm and grid failures. Refugee camps are filling up with millions of evacuees who remained at shelters and were not lucky enough to bunk in with friends or relatives and try and start over again. The end of a functioning U.S. economy is compounded by mysterious grid failures nationwide. The ARkStorm series is patterned after the 1861-62 historical events that flooded the central valley of California. The scientifically realistic 'superstorm' scenario developed and published by the United States Geological Survey has been adapted as a story line that includes the author's modern day applications of emergency management principles with a prepper community slant.

California's other big one Now this was a interesting disaster fiction read and listen. I had never even heard of an ARkStorm until this author presented it. It is quite a scary thought this catastrophe is predicted scientifically to happen in my lifetime, like I didn't have enough to worry about already after reading Ron`s other books! Phil narrated this one well and it was a good listen. I look forward to more from both of these great storytellers. Don't waste your credits on this one! Terrible I never write anything negative but on this one, I just could not find anything good about it and hate that I paid to hear it. The narrator's voice is mechanical and it was painful to listen to, as well as the story being so fragmented with explanations of the how to or political views that it totally made it impossible to feel the characters in the book and ruined whatever the story part of this book could have been. I love to know how to with prepping but to in such a way that it destroys the book I have paid my hard earned money to enjoy. I feel cheated out of my money and my book credit. :( https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Third-Contact-Audiobook/B00FX4A2OC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointment I was right, darn it! This volume really bogged down. Time and again, just as I'd get interested in one of the main characters, he would disappear. They blended into each other so much that I was constantly having to back up a few pages to remember who was on stage now. As to the ending (spoiler alert!), the author seemed to be saying, "Oh heck,this is boring even to me. I quit." Just to be fair, I'll wait maybe as long as a week and look through it again. If the disappointment is my own fault, I'll change this review. Interesting book Nice book;needs a little more family depth,and action. I can be able to do it all in all of the good yarn Good yarn be interested in how the story continues got to check when next part of the yarn is available You will enjoy them all If you haven't read any of Ken's books, you really need to do it. You will enjoy them all. This is the 3rd one that I read and enjoyed them all. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Apocalypse-with-a-Side-of-Grilled-Spam-Audiobook/B00EHJP4E2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A dull book that should be a manual This book is a quite dull narrative. It is filled with dull conversation about the different ways various prepper tools and supplies might be used, and very little action. It should be rewritten as a manual. It includes commercials for the author's favorite products, including color photos. The last pages of the book are complete details on how to buy them. There are also tons of editing errors. I sometimes had to pause to decipher what he meant to say. There are good recommendations on products and strategies for prepping. But this author doesn't have the skill to spin an interesting story. great book I love all Ron's books, the characters are are detailed, and his knowledge, and tips are real world things that you can use. Cookbook? Lotta pages dedicated to dutch oven cooking, especially considering the small amount of pages per pamphlet. And Ron, please, work on your dialogue a little more. It was good to see a few contractions this time, vol 1 was unlike any spoken word I've ever heard uttered by native born Americans. Terrible writing and editing, disappointed! Be ready, this is a harsh negative review and not my usual style. I read his previous series Prepped Road March and enjoyed them so thought I couldn't go wrong wit this new works. I was wrong. Usually an author gets better with more and more experience. I would question if this is even the same writer and if not, which is the real Ron Foster?? In the first two chapters the main contractor's name changed 3 times. (Dennis, Doug, David..). That is just one example of unacceptable writing errors.I won't even get started on the storyline, writing style and grammar. So disappointed and I regret buying both publications before I read the first, thinking they would at least the same quality as his previous works I've read. I won't waste my time reading the rest. Hmmmm Would have been better if he could remember his characters names. Called Dennis Donald but the way he did it was confusing because took a minute to realize who he was talking about.

This is not a book about billion year old alien technology. That is a backdrop for a romance novel with "Large global conglomerates" bad guys putting our freinds and lovers at risk. If you are looking for SyFy, pick another book. Just plain BAD Bad science fiction + soap box LGBT proselytizing + over the top feminist hero = BAD.

This is one that fans of The Road and The Walking Dead will really not want to miss! Members Reviews: Definitely unique! This is going to be a hard book to review as I don't want to spoil things. The story is centered on Adam. He is testing a revolutionary new suit, called a Skin. From what I gathered, it recycles your waste, sweat etc and makes it so that you don't need to eat or drink etc. While in the suit, some event happens that causes everything to start rotting, I mean everything!! Adam seems to be the only person immune to it because of the suit. Is he it? Is there hope for him and his future? While I liked the concept and originality of the plot, it felt rushed at times. I know it's a relatively short read, but I do think that the overall world building suffered because of it. I wanted to know more about how the Rot came about and about the suit. Same way with the character development. We never really got a sense of who Adam really was. He goes through a lot during the Rot, but he never seems to grow. Again, I know it's hard to have all the elements in a short book, he still could have grown a little. My thoughts seem all doom and gloom about the book, but it's not all bad. The overall story was good and I liked it, I just wanted more from it! I will check out more from this author though, as he has a wonderful imagination!! Narrator Chris Barnes did a great job with this book. It's told in a format of recordings from the main character and the narrator really knew how to bring him to life. He captured the hopelessness, the sense of lose from the character perfectly and gave a brilliant performance. I've listened to quite a few of the books he has narrated and never once has it been a less than stellar performance!! *I received a free copy of this but voluntarily reviewed it. This in no way affected or influenced my thoughts.* a dark novel with literary overtones Adam is a fighter pilot chosen to test a self-sustaining skin suit. It recirculates all his water and waste so the wearer doesnt need to eat or drink. It was meant only to be worn for one week, but when the world falls apart, it is the only think keeping Adam from the rot that is infecting the world. Some contagion has entered the world, turning men and women into mindless and ultra-violent mandmen. But it isnt just the people, its all things. Buildings and machines are decaying, even the very ground is disintegrating. Adam may be the only man left untouched, protected by his suit. The cause is unknown and he may be the only one left to find a stop to the destruction, if he can survive. There is a feeling of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The bleak separateness of the landscape and everyone out to kill him. Has the world simply evolved and now Adam is the outsider, trying to hold onto the past. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Trapped-Audiobook/B009H8MEVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another solid story in the series Trapped, apparently the penultimate League of Peoples novel, is a solid and enjoyable novel. Set on the original Earth, in a second rate boarding school near Niagara Falls. A mobster's daughter has been murdered and her teachers undertake a quest to find the nanotech created shapeshifter responsible for the murder and who also kidnapped the victim's enchanted boyfriend. Gardner creates a vivid world with just enough details to make believable worlds and consistent with the Peoples series. (I'm only slightly disappointed by Admiral Ramos's absence from Trapped.) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fall-From-Earth-Audiobook/B0058JNWOY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Not enough action, I could not get interested in the characters What could Matthew Johnson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Art is subjective, I love Van Gogh but I hate Picasso. I'm just into more fantasy, some action, some humor, and escape reality. His story sounds to much like my job. What didnt you like about Emma Newmans performance? clear monotone You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? it was short Any additional comments? nope Enjoyable An easy listen with an interesting and predictable plot. Not heavy Science Fiction, more a story set in a future world.That said, it is not a future fantasy 'opera' either. fall from earth story , was misleading from summary shown.story was at times hard to follow,didn't care for it at all https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Bradbury-Report-Audiobook/B003IWP7U0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Bradbury Report Author: Steven Polansky Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-04-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The year is 2071. It is very recognizable world, only now the United States has implemented a wide-scale, government-run cloning program that is tied directly to health insurance. Each U.S. citizen has a copy living separately in a cleared zone in the Midwest. If an original is sick or injured and requires surgery, whatever he or she needs is taken from their clone. In the two decades since the programs inception, no person outside the government has ever seen their copy or been inside the Clearances, and no clone has ever successfully escapeduntil now. The Bradbury Report is a fascinating meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of as a race and society. It is a powerful work of speculative fiction, beautifully written, about love, identity, free will, aging, and intelligence that will linger with you long after listening.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The year is 2071. It is very recognizable world, only now the United States has implemented a wide-scale, government-run cloning program that is tied directly to health insurance. Each U.S. citizen has a copy living separately in a cleared zone in the Midwest. If an original is sick or injured and requires surgery, whatever he or she needs is taken from their clone. In the two decades since the programs inception, no person outside the government has ever seen their copy or been inside the Clearances, and no clone has ever successfully escapeduntil now. The Bradbury Report is a fascinating meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of as a race and society. It is a powerful work of speculative fiction, beautifully written, about love, identity, free will, aging, and intelligence that will linger with you long after listening.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: The inspiration for the movie The Island Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This book was definitely time well spent. The ethical questions raise by having a clone for spare parts how one would treat such a clone once met, and at a time when spare parts are needed to live, make the an engaging read. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The best description of my reaction to the ending would be conflicted. What three words best describe Stefan Rudnickis performance? These word describe nearly all of Stefan Rudnicki's performances: powerful, engaging, hypnotic. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Yes. As stated above this book is easily the inspiration of the film The Island. While the film has more action that this book they are both well worth experiencing. Appalling and disturbing book Any additional comments? The book is very difficult and unsettling - I may say evil almost. There are no explanations, happy endings and no answers to the horrible problem the author creates within the world of his book. The book itself is one big unpleasant question. In some way the subject may remind of Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go": clones, created only to be a spare-parts containers for theirs' "originals", have no rights, they are helpless and have no hope for better future. And a whole system is created to supress even thinking of change. But also these books are very different. The only clone we see in "Report" does not have the air of painful lightness, resignation and devotion of Ishiguro's heroes. He is angry, full of protest and willing to live. He tries to struggle against the system, condemning him to death - even if his ways of doing it are very limited. The narrator is brilliant. His voice is perfect for the first-person story, told by very old, ill and desperate man. His tragic story stayed with me long after the book was over. Weak The Story and the reader need a shot of espresso, I even tried reading the actual book and it was not good https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Sunrise-Alley-Audiobook/B002VA8KNG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Just so-so If the heroine and hero got kidnapped and then escaped ONE MORE TIME I was going to stop listening! I know it's fiction, but geeez! I did enjoy the technology described in the story, I found it believable for the era, original and intriguing. I did not enjoy the narrator so much. I felt she made the heroine's voice too sweet. Make me not like her just because each time she talked it sounded fake, like someone trying to be over feminine. A good romance. Not science fiction. I read or listen to science fiction to get inspiration. I love it when a book can present concepts that both challenge me and interest me. When an author can go into some depth with one or more of their concepts and make me believe that it actually might happen some day, then a book is worth my time. This book has none of that. The main emphasis in this book is a womans adventure in falling in love with an android who has been programmed with the mind of a man. None of the concepts, while interesting, were expanded upon to any degree. There simply was no science to this book. There was however, many insights into a womans mind and her emotional states. The main character is a scientist however, she never really applied any scientific principals during this adventure. This book was well written and it deserves its due, but it belongs in the romance section, not the science fiction section. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Parkers-Paradox-Audiobook/B002V1NWCO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have enjoyed Scott Brick work on other books, but his performance fell very short when it came to giving believable accents here. Too bad I really wanted this one to be a home run! Interesting but Average A little dark, but good story. Not really blown away, but wanted to see how it ended. A little anti-climatic however... Excellent second book John Twelve Hawks has created an unorthodox and dangerous world with just enough reality to pull the reader deeply into the parallel dimensions of his world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wingman-12-Audiobook/B002V1OLSI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Enjoyed it but disappointed all the same I have thoroughly enjoyed the eleven books that preceded this one, but I was disappointed that this book took a sci-fi turn when there was no need. There were also a lot of unexplained events that are unbelievable without explanation. I hope #13 gets us back on track, getting the world back on track. Five Stars I like all the Wingman books Hawk Hunter to the Rescue If you like the Wingman style action, you will like this book. The challenges never stop coming for Hawk and his fearless team.

Members Reviews: Good serial set of action novels This has been an enjoyable series of books to read. It is definitely bordering on science fiction in some elements. I bought the entire series one time when Amazon was selling the Kindle version for $1 per book. I was able to purchase all 17 books for 17 dollars. The books have varied around the globe for different geographies and different adversaries. These are the kinds of stories that you can read day after day or if you have to step away for a few weeks you can come back to them like a comfortable pair of shoes. Good read and enjoyable for action/military Adventure, action and edge of your seat story that is from the far side of reality. Good read and enjoyable for action/military junkies Five Stars Just a fun read where the good guys blast the crap outta the bad guys. Lots of Action, but plot is getting far fetched I have really enjoyed the first 11 books, but the plot started getting far fetched in number 12 and keeps going that way with 13. There is lots of realistic action and some so not realistic. I am disappointed that Mr. Maloney is taking the series into the sci-fi realm.

The story takes place in a near-future society that is almost totally mechanized, eliminating the need for human laborers. This widespread mechanization creates conflict between the wealthy upper class-the engineers and managers who keep society running-and the lower class, whose skills and purpose in society have been replaced by machines. The book uses irony and sentimentality, which were to become hallmarks developed further in Vonnegut's later works. ©2017 Adam Barnes (P)2017 Adam Barnes https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Der-verlorene-Engel-Doctor-Who-Der-12-Doktor-Audiobook/B075MHDWPZ Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> Titel: Der verlorene Engel (Doctor Who: Der 12.

Members Reviews: Gosney knew how to build up the tension Kendrick is convinced that his wife is having an affair. Haunted by these thoughts, he will meet a disturbing clown who doesn't seem to let go of Kendrick. This is a very quick and entertaining listen, just short of one hour. From the beginning I got trapped in the story, intrigued by this clown, the strange coincidences and Kendrick's aversion to clowns in general. The horror in this book starts as something psychological, to transform later on into something more tangible and horrible. Gosney knew how to build up the tension and deliver a tale that would disturb everyone. With a short story like this one, there is not a lot of character development, but somehow I was able to connect to Kendrick and feel the horror he felt. There was something I didn't like from Kendrick. He complained that his wife was not at home to prepare his dinner, so he just tossed some hotdogs into a pot. I find it almost anachronic that we still have to read about these things in books that are recently published. Andy Harrington's narration was excellent. His tone was compelling and he delivered different voices for all the characters, along with great interpretations. His interpretation of the clown was one of creepiest I have ever listened to. This was a great listen, different from what we are normally used to. As it is quite a short book, I think it's ideal for those idle moments we all have from time to time. Audiobook was provided for review by the narrator. Please find this complete review and many others at my review blog. [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] Clowns...*shudder* Would you listen to Practice again? Why? Yes, at just under an hour its quick listen for my 1.5 hour commute. Its also well written. What did you like best about this story? Even though it was short, it was very well thought out, told me lots about ...what I needed to know about What does Andy Harrington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Good characterization, I've seen Andy perform in local productions of several plays and his range as an actor is on display here. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I wasn't scared of clowns before...and I've seen IT. Now ...clowns...Nope. Creeper Clown Fair warning: if you don't like clowns, you probably shouldn't listen to this book! Reminiscent of Twilight Zone & Night Gallery episodes of old...short & creepy! The author knows that our imagination makes for the best horror. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/First-Contact-Audiobook/B074JFRPWD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Full of twists and turns, the Ashlyn Chronicles will keep you guessing as to what comes next. 2289 A.D. is not a standalone novel. We strongly recommend you first listen to 2287 A.D. and 2288 A.D. It is where the characters are first introduced and there is much to be learned about the far reaching arc of the story line and why they make the choices they do. 2289 A.D. starts where the second novel ends. It will take Ashlyn and Steven back in time one million years. This is where Ashlyn's incredible journey into the heart of the darkness begins. As the last surviving human, she is humanity's only hope. Like 2287 A.D., 2289 A.D. is packed full of action and adventure. Personally, we hate a long description of how a star-drive engine operates.

I'm obsessed with your story. It's the ultimate praise. I am looking forward to the next installment. Five Stars I like the series and will buy future books. Keep up the good work! Ashlyn Love this series, great work in writing this. The series continues in an excellent way Excellent third novel in the series, highly recommended Extremely Captivating! ! Could not put it down. Wanted to see what was going to happen next. Gets a little hard to hard to follow with all the different timelines being mentioned, but for a true "time travel " aficionado it will not be a big problem. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Trade-Wars-Audiobook/B06XGHBQRT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What does Kevin Coffin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? he gave the book a good voice, and made it easy to listen to. He was such a good reader that he made a good book better. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Living in a military world all of my life I find that this story was so terribly sad but could be so true. A must read for sci-fi lovers. The plot grabs you and keeps you on your toes concerning the outcome. I really didn't see it coming. Ending ruins this otherwise good book This book was good up until the ending... it made me feel like I'd wasted all the time I took to read up to that point. it should make the list of potential movies A great read The Machine captured my attention from other people's reviews and OH Yes it delivered. The Machine will keep you hooked from chapter 3 or 4 onwards. Yes the start is a bit slow but as other people have mentioned is necessary for the reader to understand the machine and Beth's chosen path. I think this book will make a magnificent thriller at the same level as The Sixth Sense and The Other at the time. This is more literary than science fictional. The titular ... This is more literary than science fictional. The titular machine is a thinly disguised literary device that manages to get the job done. If you prefer hard science fiction, it will likely appeal to you. I finished reading it mostly because I wanted to see what would happen. It took a long time for the action to start, and once it did it did not go very far. I did find the narrator to be somewhat sympathetic at first, but less so as the story progressed. The lack of punctuation to set apart dialogue was an interesting choice. I thought it was a formatting error at first, but apparently it is a deliberate feature. In short, it's not so much an SF story as a character study wrapped in SF tropes. Depression, loss, and not much sunshine here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Saving-the-Earth-Audiobook/B06X9NXSLN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Saving the Earth Subtitle: Degrees, Book 1 Author: Devon G. Crowe, Timothy J. Imholt Narrator: David Loving Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 02-27-17 Publisher: Timothy James Imholt Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: In 2030, human civilization is faced with almost certain extermination. Weather patterns have become more extreme. Super storm after super storm pops up without warning. Some cities and even some smaller nations have become uninhabitable. Some say it is a man-made issue, others claim it is natural. To those losing family members, to those whose lives are destroyed, it doesn't matter what caused it, they only care about how to make it stop. The public is demanding action. In the US, politicians are under pressure to act swiftly. Conservationist groups lobby for ending the use of fossil fuels, while corporate interests lobby for retaining full exploitation of fossil resources. A scientist named Emma Hallbar offers a solution to climate change that offers humanity a lifeline. She dedicates her life to finding a way to control the environment so that all humans can live a life free of these unpredictable climactic temper tantrums. The result is the largest space program as well as the most unified global effort in history. Human nature creates unforeseen conflicts on a scale that have globally tragic effects.

Members Reviews: Saving the earth If you could sum up Saving the Earth in three words, what would they be? This book addresses very real problems. Finding a workable solutions so that we can live to debate other issues would be helpful.. I look forward for more. Any additional comments? I was given a free copy in exchange for my review Saving the Earth This was a good story although David Loving,the narrator, read it WAY too fast.Since it was not on my iPod,I could not adjust that.He also needs to work on his characters.Some were voiced well, some just read really fast.Global warming and 'why' are addresses in this fast based story.There are even solutions posited.Abrupt ending leads probably into a new book.I was provided this book by the author,narrator or publisher. Important, pay attention What made the experience of listening to Saving the Earth the most enjoyable? Especially since the beginning of the new administration's attacks on the truth, the story is more of a prediction that can actually happen even sooner than the author suggests. Let's hope that we smarten up before we are in the stories dire situation. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Turn off a damn light while you still can. Any additional comments? I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. Saving the Earth Any additional comments? This is a great book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Resistance-Audiobook/B01N9PX6HA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Holy smokes what an ending! The narrator, Marissa Clay, brought Alicia Michaels words alive. She left me with a pounding in my chest and a strong, overwhelming desire to join the Resistance. This storyline is incredible. Alicia Michaels knows how to put you front and center with the action. The raw emotion emanates from these characters and Ms. Clay evoked each and everyone one. Great Sequel Would you consider the audio edition of The Resistance to be better than the print version? Only have listened not read, but I prefer audiobooks, as the characters come to life in a new way. What other book might you compare The Resistance to and why? There were references to a 'flame' and the resistance 'igniting' and 'catching fire'. Oftentimes I found myself noticing the similarities between The Resistance and the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire. What about Marissa Clays performance did you like? I enjoy listening to a narrator that can seamlessly transfer voices, both male and female. Marissa Clay's performance was so well done that I often forgot that it was a female offering the narration of the story. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Hope lies with the Resistance Any additional comments? This was a great sequel to the original bionics book. It was more sexually and violently graphic than the first book, but the scenes were necessary to the story line and did not detract in any way. This audio book was graciously provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review Great addition to the series Any additional comments? This is a series that is worth your time. Very entertaining, engaging and enjoyable. Great continuation of the story. This installment pulled me in from the start just as the first book did. This book is packed full of action, suspense and intrigue with so many twists you're never sure what is going to happen next. This is not a stand alone book, you need to start at the beginning to understand all that is going on in the story. What will our world be like in 2000 years? Think of all the advancements in the last 100 years. With all the leaps in modern technology it could very well resemble a scenario similar to this story in some ways. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cold-Energy-Audiobook/B01N7TTQVW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cleaning the Atmosphere Could it be that one of our ice ages wasn't planned but the work of aliens whose good intentions had been to clear the atmosphere of pollutants? That's the premise of Book 2 of the Alex Cave series. Although it builds on the events in Book 1, these adventures can be read as standalone, since pertinent characters and locations are reintroduced appropriately. A fair amount of Perils of Pauline action leads to an enjoyable frolic through the author's imagination. I am LISTENING to this series [AUDIO] and the superb narration adds to the drama and immediacy of the tale. This story would work well on the wide screen, too. The Energy Series -a thriller of Energetic Science Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This audiobook series TOPS my recommendations. It's science and sci fi and a fully developed and delivered diverse plotline. Have you listened to any of Paul J. McSorleys other performances before? How does this one compare? I've only listened to Paul McSorley as he narrates Corkill's books. I listened to him in the first book and will follow him through the series Any additional comments? This is an excellent second book in the series. I think Mr Corkill should offer tidbits of the Dead adventure without mentioning the book directly. He explains enough to gleam the highlights, as needed, to relate the characters to one another. The way he mentions the first book is misleading that the books should be read in order. (Except 2 before 3, as it's a continuation). His life in the CIA was pre-Energy and seems to be slowly revealed as the series unfold. My biggest quirk with the series are the weak female characters who seem to always throw themselves at the men (not just at Alex Cave, but any man). It really deteriorates the otherwise strongly built characters. Thus the missing star. The moments are brief, but disappointing. The multiple scenes overlap and strengthen the subplots and plot. Did I miss the update on Christa? Mr McSorley is a dynamic narrator choice for this series. His voice complements the author's work. Adventure! Suspense! Excitement! What did you love best about Cold Energy? Good book. Kept me entertained throughout the entire book. Who was your favorite character and why? As with the first book, Alex Cave is the man! What about Paul J. McSorleys performance did you like? Paul did a great job with the first book in this series and with 'Cold Energy' he did not disappoint! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Lots of excitement. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/S-T-I-K-S-II-Man-with-a-Cat-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01N49JIMC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It reminded me of listening to the radio mystery theater. The action was nonstop. I enjoyed that the main character was a female. I am looking forward in reading book 2. I hope that Ms. Rix continues writing. Four Stars This book is a fun and fast paced science fiction mystery. I look forward to the next installment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Light-of-Reason-Audiobook/B01N0Z5CKY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Orah and Nathaniel return home with miracles from across the sea, hoping to bring a better life for their people. Instead, they find the world they left in chaos. A new grand vicar, known as the usurper, has taken over the keep, and is using its knowledge to reinforce his hold on power. Despite their good intentions, the seekers find themselves leading an army. And for the first time in a millennium, their world experiences the horror of war. But the keepmasters' science is no match for the dreamers, leaving Orah and Nathaniel their cruelest choice - face bloody defeat and the death of their enlightenment, or use the genius of the dreamers to tread the slippery slope back to the darkness. The Light of Reason by David Litwack Evolved Publishing presents the third book of The Seekers series, closing out the story started in the critically-acclaimed, multiple award-winning The Children of Darkness, and continued in the award-winning The Stuff of Stars. [DRM-Free] Members Reviews: One of my favorite series ever! You know how sometimes you put off the last part of a book because it's so good you can't stand for it to end? Well I did that with this one. I sat on the last 30 mins for 3 days before finishing it! Yes, it's that good. Do yourself a favor & read or listen to this series. I'm hoping it becomes a movie or TV series so I can be one of he ones who say 'I read it before anyone else did!' Thank you David for being so brilliant & such a wonderful writer. Your use of words to describe things blew me away so many times. Your way of looking at the human spirit was beautiful. I can only say that I will miss the friends I made on this 3 book journey and I will think of these characters for the rest of my life. I will be recommending this series to any & everyone. conclution not to missed Orah and Nathaniel are back from their travel in hopes of bringing new and better things but what they find is chaos. They hoped to bring a great light what they instead brought was darkness and war, but what can they do, and how can their new tech help them to avoid the bloodshed? This is a wonderful series it can be fun in so many ways but also deep and make you think, and narrator Erin deWard plays the different parts so well you will find yourself lost in their world. There is a lot of action, and suspense for sure. But three young adults who will lead their world into peace or war, depending on how things work out but are ready for each, as I teen I was ready to go to war but I never had to make the decision to send people to war and I know I could not have made that decision. But in their world they have already seen and endured so much, it is a story not to be missed. Perfect conclusion to a great series Any additional comments? Very satisfying conclusion to this complex yet simple story. Really enjoyed this whole series. This book is just as well written, entertaining and enjoyable as the previous installments in the series. The whole series has been creative, original, thought provoking and worth every minute. Balance is needed in every society. The Greenies, The Techies, The Dreamers all learned this the hard way. Orah, Nathaniel and Thomas started out as Children of Darkness in the only world they had ever known. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Odd-Exam-Audiobook/B01N2ND1V1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It seemed that the story would suffer whenever kissing was involved so I skipped those parts. Now that I'm older I am more tolerant of it although I still skim through those sections. Kissing was pervasive in this novella but the ideas and the presentation were so enjoyable that I didn't skim through any of it. Love his Xanth books too. Much fun, one small complaint. I bought this novella as a vacation read.. I am not disappointed. As a Xanth fan, I enjoyed the multi-realm setting. As a sci-fi fan, I thought the magic/futuristic lasers were interesting. Good as anything you write, Piers! Oh yes,my complaint. The reader program took me past the second and maybe more pages of the author notes. I will get them, oh indeed! Three Stars He's done better Fun I enjoyed this work. I love Anthony's Xanth series, and have enjoyed some of his other works. This is by no means a masterpeice, but it is a fun little read. If more time were taken to develop the characters and their relationships (much more time) then I would have given it 4 stars instead.

I didn't care about the characters or the world enough to care as much as I might have about what was happening to them. But for a book written over a century ago? Wow. Forster shined a light on issues that I don't see how he understood. That makes any objection I might have had with characters irrelevant. Another flaw? I read that this was Forster's only story of this type. Imagine. Had Forster devoted some time to this genre he'd be called one of the greats. Excellent read, so-so edition This was a very interesting read, well-written and strangely prescient for its day. I would give it five stars for literary quality. However, the paper copy I received from Dodo Press was riddled with typos to the extent that it interfered with my enjoyment of the story. Every place that should have had an apostrophe (don't) instead had a quotation mark (don"t). Numerous sentences did not start with capitals, and there were several instances where an obviously wrong word was printed, as in "she his it behind a screen" rather than "hid it". These are pretty basic errors; they should have been caught by a proofreader before it went to press. If this is something that bothers you, don't buy this edition. Also, when ordering, I somehow missed the fact that this story is less than 50 pages long. It was a good read, but if I had realized that before ordering I would not have paid $11 for it because I'm a cheapskate. Coupled with the printing issues I described above, it stings. Facebook in 1909? How did this author write about our society in such a way in 1909? How could he know we would reduce our personal relationships to rhetorically regurgitated common, acceptable thoughts and commentary? How did he know we would feel more comfortable associating through the sanitary gloss of a "blue" screen rather than face to face? How did he know we would share, repost and accept without ever fact checking information? How???? I discovered this author and his short story while reading The Little Paris Bookshop. This is one of my favorite types I incidents; coming across something while reading something else that touches me in such a way I begin connecting questions I didn't even know I was asking. A neglected masterpiece Seemingly, this is Forster's only science-fiction story âÂif only he had written more. Told in his characteristic urbane, self-effacing style, the rendering of a dystopian future controlled by an all-knowing Machine is all the more terrifying for being so subtly evoked. For all its brevity, this short story holds its own among the ranks of Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "Nineteen eighty-four". Essential reading. Good story, poorly done edition This is a short, well-written, prophetic story that is apropos in today's world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Waking-Hell-Audiobook/B01MSDCED2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's old, 1950's-type formula SciFi. Perfectly readable and moves along nicely. It may work as a parable for the young and innocent. But if you find ecological thinking reasonable or recognize the concept of unintended consequences or have thought about AI, then this may pattern out as simply obvious. (And, btw, the stated "moral" in the story is almost completely unrelated to the story. The moral should be "bad programming.") Made me think A fast short story that doesn't show its age (besides the smoking). Being myself an IT professional, I know how easy it is to overlook some flaw that can impact the results only in a very specific situation on when the whole product was put to full use... and someday a very serious problem may be detected too late. Think of endings The fictional creators of the Watchbirds for forgot one thing the things that humans make have the same faults that we humans have, they thought that such machines would stay within their programming, but having the ability to learn they exceed their mission an expanded their original mission. Drone warfare Really good story. Makes you see the errors of not seeing one step further. Watchbird Watchbird is a prophetic story that has come to pass. Look at the creation of drone aircraft and the Watchbirds have arrived. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Crockatiel-Audiobook/B01LW2HF7X Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Standard laws do not allow for such instances, nor are most officials or authorities trained to handle them. In recognition of these facts, one organization has been created that can. Assembled by a loose international coalition, their mission is to deal with these situations using diplomacy, guile, force, and strategy as necessary.

This was very much a fun and "creature feature" type of fun. One where it takes little effort to follow but is lots of fun to listen to. It's a tongue in cheek, over the top, oodles of fun, book. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the dinosaur crock crossed with a cockatile bird thing, causing havoc in The Great Dismal Swamp. Add in some rednecks, some scientists and you have a lazy day read!! I'm not going to get into the plot because it would spoil all the fun and surprises, but I will say that the book is well written and one you can't help but love. It's filled with action, adventure, giant crock things, a very loud and annoying bird, trigger happy rednecks and enough drama to keep everyone happy ;) I didn't realise this was book 5 in the O.C.L.T series but it can be read as a stand alone. I'm definitely going to check out the rest in the series and realy hope they are all so outlandish ;) I had no issue with Arthur Flavell's narration. He read the book well and was easy to listen to. I received the book, at no charge, from the publisher. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/After-James-Audiobook/B01LDV59VY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Great product. Handy for so many applications on my boat and at home. Brilliant plotting, frustrating at times, and requiring close attention. Three novellas, each of which is related to the others through threads of dreams or foreshadowing. The plots all explore the nature of reality, viewed through lenses of madness, near death, hallucinogens, flickers of recognition from strangers, or writing which seems to capture one's own history. The threads weave back and forth within and sometimes between the stories, and even the title of the book and the order of the stories seem designed to help construct the web. The first story concerns a scientist who has designed a creativity drug which led to the death of a trial participant named James. She has quit the company and moved away to rent a home from a couple she's never met. The wife has left her notes about a neighbor who may have killed his wife. That is, if she hasn't hallucinated the whole thing in her mental illness. On the brink of historic flooding, the scientist tries the drug herself and while under its influence is rescued by this same neighbor. How can she decide if he is someone to fear? In the second novella, which was most satisfying of the three, a poet named James becomes involved with a poetry web site which every viewer thinks is about him or her. Are the poems in code? Can they be manipulated to form direct links to the mysteries of people's lives? Who is the poet? And is the hallucinogen One Two, which James ingests, the creativity drug or is this a parallel reality to the first story? The third story tells of a virologist (who has just lost a child she thinks of as "James") and her paleontologist-turned-mystic father. They have a relationship with a German artist who makes moving art based on the virologist's life but also reflects events from the first story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Days-End-Audiobook/B01KALHOPC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a fast paced book that you will have trouble putting down, at least I know that I did. The concept for the book is excellent. The characters were well developed and very likable. The narration was nearly perfect. I can not say enough good things about this book! Just buy and read it you will not be sorry. I was provided this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review Good if a bit rough I did really enjoy this book, but the writing felt a bit rough to me. The character development was good though. I liked the characters a lot. They story was quite unique but I was completely baffled as to where the author was going with the story, and the end felt a tad rushed. All that aside I did enjoy this book. The narrator gave a wonderful performance. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Chilling Concept Would you consider the audio edition of Days' End to be better than the print version? I think I might have enjoyed this book better in print only because it would have drawn out the suspense for me. Who was your favorite character and why? I liked the mother giving birth. I felt empathy for her. Any additional comments? This book was gifted to me by the author with the understanding that I post an honest and unbiased review. Days End Any additional comments? 3.5 stars While the story is creative and entertaining it took me a long time to get into it. The story grabs you from the start with "This was to be his last day on earth". Then basically slows down and slowly builds back up again. The story switches back and forth in the beginning in a confusing/choppy kind of way, because your not sure what is going on or who the players are. Which works great in many stories but just felt off for me in this story. Once the story gets going though it is a very entertaining, interesting, engaging and enjoyable listen. Plenty of twists and turns to keep the story moving. The story has a little bit of everything romance, mystery, religion, politics, science and more. A little less detail in some areas would have been better. Kevin Gallagher does a good job with the narration. This is the first time I have heard him narrate a book. Pleasant voice, smooth even pace and clearly spoken. Really good character voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Jump-Starting-the-Universe-Audiobook/B01KYK3XY0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Anyone or anything caught in a mixing zone has about a 50-50 chance of remaining in their original location when the universes pull apart. Most beings throughout the universes are aware of this occasional phenomenon, but people on Earth - not so much. Certainly not Mark and Blackie. Mark and Blackie are brothers, and Wayne is Mark's best friend and the bass player in their band. Buster, the lead singer, signed them to a gig at a small establishment on Hell-Otis Highway and they thought getting paid to play would be the highlight of their day. It should have been. But when they rushed to load the Nomad after their gig, they didn't have any idea the green tinted light bathing them in the parking lot was more than just an impending hail storm. That little sliver of tinted space changed everything. When the overlapping universes pulled apart, the green tinted light disappeared, and so did Mark, Blackie, Wayne, Amelia, and a 1957 Nomad station wagon full of music equipment. There was no more bar (including Buster), no more Hell-Otis highway or parking lot. Celestial context put them smack dab in the middle of a high plain on Alphus Nebulum. You might think this had to be the highlight of their week. Maybe not. They had no idea they would soon be arrested, jailed, become escapees, meet some of the most interesting beings in all the galaxies, have soldiers point very large guns at them and miraculously escape. And that was just day one and two.

Members Reviews: Pure Sci-Fi Adventure With Jumps To Parallel Universes and Imaginative Characters This review is on Jump Starting the Universe by John David Buchanan. This is the first book I have read by this author. This story had me jumping all over the universe before I even understood what âbudgingâ means. Of course, budging refers to parallel planes of existence that tend to âbudgeâ up against each other and allow one to crossover to another parallel universe. This happens all the time and most people donât even see it. The characters in this story find out firsthand what happens when parallel planes of existence crossover and they get caught inside the two planes. The main characters, Mark, Blackie and Wayne, are all members of a band on their way to their first paid gig in a 1957 Chevy Nomad station wagon where the final member of the band, Buster, is waiting for them. The band plays to a small crowd in the bar and they meet another character named Amelia who decides to help the band pack away their musical instruments in the parking lot. Then it happens. Storm clouds appear that look different than normal, mostly greenish in color, and the budge occurs. Everyone except Buster is instantly transported to the other side of the parallel planes. They are no longer on Earth, or Terra Bulga as Earth is known by everyone else in the universe. The group is now in Alphus Nebulum 42.689 light years away. How do they know this? Because the stars are wrong as Amelia points out and she is correct. This is where the story takes an imaginative leap in plot twists, back stories and creative license. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dangerous-Metal-Audiobook/B01IBUBWS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A great cyber-thriller some of the personal and societal impacts of the implants, how implants could help people with serious injuries and how they grow to cope with it - and the drama of one's past coming back to haunt them. Good narration. Human and Cyberpunk Themes What made the experience of listening to Dangerous Metal the most enjoyable? The story and the Narrator were both compelling. What did you like best about this story? It deals with Cyberpunk themes, and Eva move to self empowerment through technology and people. It is not my usual read, but is was very enjoyable. Awesomeness of awesome This is one of my favorite stories ever. It's enthralling and you never know what's coming. I want a second book it was that good :) A great cyberthriller from a new athor If you could sum up Dangerous Metal in three words, what would they be? Cyberpunk, Thriller, Dramatic What did you like best about this story? It's a great modern cyberthriller that gives focus on how the new technology has a direct personal impact on the protagonist, and how it doesn't define her, but lets her define who she is. What does Mariah Avix bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narration is excellent and very easy to listen to. Mariah has a fantastic voice for audiobooks Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The story can be a roller coaster and make you gasp at the antagonist's actions and gall. A great look at how someone handles their implants and continues to integrate back with her life. Any additional comments? LISTEN TO THIS BOOK! Dangerous indeed! I got this book in exchange for an honest opinion, and it didn't disappoint. It's not my usual kind of sci if, but it is Cyberpunk and very interesting. The world building and character depth is great. The technology in here was really well thought out. I enjoyed the explanations and the journey that happens for the MC. Earnie, what a horrid, horrid man. Had my skin crawling. There were so many nice twists and turns within this story that it kept me guessing. I really could identify with Eva. She's an amazing character. I enjoyed the narration, although I have to admit it seemed to be read a little on the slow side. I wasn't sure if it was just me, but it's obviously the natural cadence of the narrator who is actually the author too. Wow, wish I could narrate my own work, extra kudos for trying. The voice is nice to listen to and the production is good. I did want the ending to be a little more satisfying, but I'm thinking there might be more from this world, so the odd question I can cope with not getting a resolution. In all this is a great story and narration, well worth checking out. And I'll be looking for more stories from Mariah :) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Inci-Audiobook/B01J633A1M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Reverend Joshua Barker feels that it is his duty to bring the Word to the oppressed beings on alien worlds, to teach them to repent their sins and cherish the teachings of the Good Book.

(Orson Scott Card, New York Times best-selling author of Enders Game) Members Reviews: An Excellent Additional to the Birthright Series This is another of the smaller novels Resnick has written of late, fleshing out some aspect of his "Birthright" universe. This book tells three interrelated and evolving tales regarding the discovery of a very Christ-like figure on an alien world. The reverend who discovers this is at first very skeptical and then very intrigued...could it be that there's more to Christianity than there seems to be? The second story picks up a few hundred years after the first, as the information uncovered by the reverend finally reaches the more civilized worlds. There a producer looking for information for a TV special on religion stumbles over this data, and almost immediately seems to be the subject of a conspiracy to suppress his finds -- or worse. The third story seems to pick up not too long after the second, where the information of this strange Christ-like figure found on multiple worlds comes to the attention of a modern day radio/internet jockey. He is VERY intrigued to discover that this seems to be on many worlds, and takes a private ship out to investigate. I really enjoyed this book, though not as much as the longer Michael Resnick books. The idea is similar to the one he explored in his novel "Dark Lady", and I suspect over time we'll see him explore other similar aspects of Mankind's beliefs. Oddly this book seems to be part of some series called "The Stellar Guild", though it seems fairly standalone and the others certainly aren't necessary to understand or enjoy this one. I don't know if I'll pick up the others or not. HIGHLY recommended for any fan of Resnick or somebody who likes a little "different" take on a science fiction novel. INCI This book is part of a series co-authored by published writers mentoring unpublished authors. In this case, the known author wrote the second part of the book, which was predictable and not nearly as good as the beginning written by his mentoree. She should have done the whole job, herself. It would have been a better book. Both a fun and interesting read! Given the authors, the quality of the plot/story line is quite good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Prometheus-Stumbles-Audiobook/B01GQSCRW8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ed is an amazingly talented author This book is a refreshing read, or in my case, listen. the concept and plot are really unique, and I enjoyed every minute of the book. There is none of the dreaded word fluff, every single word was needed, precise tight writing and extremely easy to get pulled in, I could not turn off the book, and listened until 230 am. just a wonderful nook, grab it! I really enjoyed it. I am obligated to say I received this book in exchange for an unbiased review, that being said; I really enjoyed the story. while it was a bit disjointed at times, and an occasional rapid point of view change can be disorienting. Overall it was a very well developed story. Prometheus Stumbles. Gosney does not. Any additional comments? I like books with a lot of depth... books that make you think and get a little better if you come around for a second pass. I'm willing to be patient with an author if I feel like they're going to deliver in the end. This book started a little slow for me, but Ed Gosney delivered in the end. This is the story of a man who is forced into a difficult situation... a man that has to do things he doesn't want to do in order to protect his family. I tend not to read a lot of scifi, but this one has just enough psychological Dreamworld elements to keep me interested. And the characters are the strongest part. Give it a try, and be patient if it seems to start a little slow. It's worth it. It has some interesting parts The premise is intriguing , but the telling of the story is drawn out, confusing, and illogical at times. It is also a bit "religious" at times for my taste. The narration is fairly monotone with no pauses when the narrator/perspective changes. This makes the story even harder to follow as you jump unexpectedly between 5-7 different story lines. Although parts of the story are quite interesting and original, I'm not sure this one was worth the large amount of time it took to read it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Wolf-Road-Audiobook/B01H5W16D0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Highly recommend An intense story, that's worth your time you could really picture the character and it had me entertained all the way to the end. Heart breaking and Humble What I really like about this book is that McFadden knows the story she wants to tell. The dialect has a really immersive effect, and the story and world and characters and revealed in a slow, compelling snowball that crashes to a heart wrenching ending. Props to the narrator for nailing the protagonists voice perfectly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Murder-in-Utopia-Audiobook/B01EBFH818 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Murder in "Utopia" Author: Bryan Perkins Narrator: Julie Hoverson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-16 Publisher: Onyxis Stone Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: For this novella, my main goal was to produce a work that was at the same time absurdist and decidedly literary. I think I've succeeded in both aspects. The story takes place almost entirely inside a priest's confessional office. Chapters alternate between a psychiatrist giving her confessions to the priest and the confessions of the very patients mentioned by the psychiatrist in her sessions. Every sentence that is written in the past tense is spoken aloud to the priest or by her, and every sentence that is written in the present tense is one of the priest's thoughts or an action she experiences. I think you can see why Murder in "Utopia" may be a confusing experience the first time through. There are no quotation marks to set off dialogue; the tense of the writing changes based on whether the words are spoken or experienced; and, to top it all off, no names are mentioned for any of the characters - each is referred to only by his or her occupation or the pronouns her, she, etc. But fear not, dear listeners. Continue on despite any confusion. Confusion is part of the experience. And by the end, I think you may realize that you've found more clarity than you thought possible in such a jumbled, messy "utopia". bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Bryan Perkins) Mon, 18 Apr 2016 10:09:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Murder-in-Utopia-Audiobook/B01EBFH818 thebookvoice.com 02:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Twisted and captivating Love the presentation of psychiatrist and confessional as well as the links between the tales. Enjoyable with a few good twists. The future police reminded me a bit of demolition man cops but with guns. Will look for more by this author and narrator. I received this book from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review. Wow HOLY CRAP this was such a confusing, weird, and interesting short story. Im not even sure how I can explain it without sounding like jsoiudriefjiweohfafjsdoifjsi. When I thought I knew what was going on that changed and I was left perplexed once again. Bryan Perkins told a tale of a priest and psychiatrist telling each other about the stories that each of them heard from their clients. The first part of this story I was completely confusing and I really had no idea what was going on. By the last half I understood what was happening, but then the very end gave a twist and left me saying WTF. Julie Hoverson was an excellent choice for this story. The pacing was fast and her voice was clear. She brought this story to life. Everyone was living in Utopia and by the sounds of it they were not all that happy. People were committing murder all around. In the end this was an okay story. I think it might go on the list to rereadhoping that the second time around I might understand more. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. What an excellent surprise. I had never heard of this author and knew only that it was written in an unusual style and that the story takes place in a post-capitalist world where automation had pretty much freed everyone up from work, and that the author is a socialist. Compelling, but I didn't know what to expect. Getting used to the style took some effort, but it was well worth it and the unusual writing style is not gratuitous or indulgent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Mainframe-Audiobook/B01DPXDCNA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/630/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great listen Very engaging story and I did not read book one but was able to jump in the story and know it was not necessary but a great benefit to the story. I will read book one: Found Jumping right back into the midst of this chaotic tale, Simone Pond does well to welcome a new character: Grace, the daughter to Ava and Joseph as a young adult. In this story, she is the main character and is the perfect combo of her parents with her independent nature like her mother and her leadership qualities like her father. Her upbringing and personality help her find herself in the midst of saving her mother and discovering the terror hidden in the mainframe. The story was not as detailed and jumped from scene to scene a bit to quickly for my taste. I enjoy Pond's imagination and wanted to live in the story longer. Returning narrator, Sarah Zimmerman, does well to keep this story at a steady pace and keeps the listener engaged with her easy going voice. Overall, I enjoyed the book and am happy this is not the end to the series. I look forward to listening to the next book in this saga. This audiobook was given to me in exchange for an honest review. A teen trying to break free of her parents What did you like best about this story? The world has changed for the better, but there is still a feel of separation between the Insiders and the Outsiders. It's been said it'll take a few generations before the divide is completely washed away. The world is building on the outside of the city as well as in the city with the walls gone. We get to see this through Grace as she has big plans for herself at the Academy, in Silicon Valley. We see Silicon Valley with the creation of the world now. It's a blend of old world before Repatterning and new with the technology. When Grace goes on a tour, we get a history of the Repatterning and what happened in the first book along with prequel. Also giving us a view of the city. We even learn of a forgotten city center, Emerald Mountain (which I believe is what is depicted on the cover). When Grace learns of the old city center, she becomes curious of it. Wanting to know if there are people inside, and saving them. But the city is protected by the natives there. We get to meet a potential love interest for Grace early in the book. Lucas seems so sweet and a great balance for her. We see a few friends, and not so close friends, of Grace as she goes to the Academy and then on her mission to save her mother. Which character as performed by Sarah Zimmerman was your favorite? Sarah returns to voice the second book in this series. I like listening to her voice.
