Members Reviews: A Man Has Been Abducted, and He Definitely Doesn't Want to Be Again This is a short story that won't take long at all to get through. Basically a guy has been abducted by aliens, they left something in his neck, he wants to remove it and definitely doesn't want to be abducted again. The book has a number of ClipArt style computer illustrations every now and then, as well as photographs which give it a bit of a non professional feel but that doesn't necessarily have to be seen as a bad thing. At times there's typos and the wrong spelling of a word used. Also such as at the 40% mark there's a heap of sentences in a row starting off with I. If this sort of thing bothers you, this might not be the short story for you. But if you can live with it, then this isn't a bad abduction and dealing with it tale. If you like aliens and sci-fi stories you should check it out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Conquered-Shore-Audiobook/B018T3WUO8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Conquered Shore Subtitle: Lodestone, Book 5 Author: Mark Whiteway Narrator: James Nutt Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 12-02-15 Publisher: Cyzaran Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Following a momentous journey across space, two groups of Helvenans are locked in a struggle for survival on the strange, virgin planet they have named Kelanni. Their long journey over, the exiles from the planet Helvena must now carve out a new existence. But the stain of war still blights the two factions - the hubbers with their strict caste system, now enforced by the new, fearsome keltar in their flying cloaks, and the free community of rimmers. On an alien world beset by unknown dangers and complex life forms, they must find a way to come together...or be destroyed! The first Lodestone trilogy saw Keris of the Kelanni join a ragtag band to combat the "alien" invasion of her world. Five turns of the season have now passed. Keris receives a disturbing report of the theft of an ancient artifact. The perpetrator? Alexander McCann, the last human left on Kelanni! When she tracks him down in a liquor den, the drunken McCann spins a fantastical tale. An ancient sphere recording claims that her people, the Kelanni, are alien invaders just as the humans were. Worse yet it tells of Ash, an all-powerful alien being who almost destroyed her world in the distant past. Now sinister forces are plotting his return. Accompanied by McCann, Keris must travel to the ancient ruined city of Gal Mador, uncover the truth of her people's dark past, and find a way to defeat an invincible alien foe.... biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mark Whiteway) Wed, 02 Dec 2015 06:11:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Conquered-Shore-Audiobook/B018T3WUO8 thebookvoice.com 11:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great read I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Kerrie and the hu-man, McCann as the watch a disk with the history of their world, and how they came to be there. They watch as Zemira fights to preserve the great mind that is all of Hananni. Another cantputdownable must read. A very fun read! In this novel, readers will get their first good look at Zemira as she emerges from a ship that has transported her far away from both her previous location and culture. Within a few paragraphs, Whiteway managed to convey such a sense of relief that I found myself breathing easier as Zemira took her first breaths of freedom. I thought that having Lokk greet her was a particularly interesting choice in character interaction. The people of his class are defined as âSlaves to all, but mastered by none,â which is a strikingly good quote for the beginning of a novel. His presence also serves to further draw the line of distinction between where Zemira has been and where she is going. I find the idea behind the Chandara and the Great Tree very interesting. It almost reminded me of a druid-type belief system at first, but then I realized that the tree is more about identity and less about belief systems, in this case. The Chandara and the Great Tree form a collective of sorts, and I find the idea âThe Trees and The Chandara See Allâ to be particularly telling of their relationship. There is a oneness that can only be expressed by the simplicity with which Chandara like Monti explain it. As the story progresses, readers will see many of the same characters in new and interesting locales. If the idea of discovering a new world appeals to you, pick up this book and prepare for a fast-paced adventure involving everything from water rafts to information spheres. Edge of your seat Join Keris as she tracks the keltar to find the sphere, the ancient playback device stolen from the archives, the thing that could answer her questions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lilith-Audiobook/B0178RID1A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lilith Stories wants to depict her as innocent with the mean Adam, blaming her for death of his son. Curse her for eternity to be considered as evil. Could she be manipulating? Who knows. Its too short. A new take on an old story My attempt at a secular, sci-fi approach to one of the world's most well-known stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kill-by-Numbers-Audiobook/B0170OJ06S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kill by Numbers is the second book in Loren Rhoads's epic Dangerous Type trilogy. Members Reviews: The Future May Not Be as Nice as You Hoped Well written and engrossing. Part of a trilogy and all three should be read in order to get the most out of it. The story of an orphan and her trials, tribulations and ultimate triumph. Good Space Opera Itâs tough to be a human in space. Other races look down on humans because they think of them as violent sociopaths. With the human empire disbanded, they are spread out across the galaxy trying to make a living. This brings us to former assassin Raena who is trying to get a new start on board the alien space ship,the Veracity. Raena has a complicated past, she was a prisoner as the Templars were wiped out by a genetic plague and the situation has created some bad psychological effects. Raena is having nightmares of shooting her ex-lover in the head and she has to deal with the fact that the now extinct Templars have left booby-trapped biotechnology throughout the galaxy and her ship is infected. Raena and the pirate crew that she is with must learn to trust each other and figure out how to fix the booby-trapped technology or the galactic economy could collapse. Kill By Numbers by Loren Rhoads is the second book in the wake of the Templars series and could be best described as a character driven action adventure story. This book starts off slow and gets deep into the characterâs personalities before getting into the story. The thing I really enjoy about Loren Rhoads writing is that she creates characters that seem real and gives a lot of detail on them. To me the sign of a great character in a book is if you want to read about them even if there is no conflict with them. I love good character development in a story before we get into the action and Kill By Numbers does an excellent job of it. I love the concept behind this book, Raena is a human on a ship of aliens so Raena doesnât fit in. Raena is trying to start a new life and escape her past, the crew of the Veracity is trying to help but what they want for her and what she wants for herself are two different things. Everyone on the ship is a different kind of alien but because of her past, Raena is the oddest one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Solex-Audiobook/B016P5NCXA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ARTIFICUAL INTELIGENCE TREY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Would you listen to Solex again? Why? yes it was hard to put down, and at this point I might want to hear all three books in a row. Who was your favorite character and why? Kilix was my favorite character because All three books were about him. We get to see him develop into the word's leader. What about Joshua Benningtons performance did you like? The narrator made the characters more real Any additional comments? This was the best of the three books and answers a lot of questions. I recommend you read the first two books first. The fight between man and machines goes on and on! What did you love best about Solex? What I liked best about Solex was that man started to gain back his place on earth against the machines. And that Kilix was in a leader ship role and fighting the AI and winning. Who was your favorite character and why? Kilix was my favorite character because we have followed his growth from a high school student to the leader of the resistance to the machines. What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? .. He not only gives the characters a presence but gives the story a tone that I would never get from a printed book.. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? . Any additional comments? This was the best of the three books and I loved it!! ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCES TAKE OVER THE WORLD Would you consider the audio edition of Solex to be better than the print version? I use the audio books so I can be doing something with my hands at the same time I am entertained by a book. I have given up reading books because the audio books are to much easier for me. There fore I can not compare the printed version with this audio version. I did like this audio book a great deal. What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Joshua Bennington brings a voice to the characters. In this series I found the voice of Peter to be most captivating and charming of Mr. Benningtons voices. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? This three book series would made a wonderful movie. It reminds me of the Matrix where the humans also lost to the AI. THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS FROM THE AI If you could sum up Solex in three words, what would they be? KILIX MATURES What other book might you compare Solex to and why? This is the last of three books about a boy coming of age to lead the humans that remain against the AI who have taken over the world again. What about Joshua Benningtons performance did you like? Joshua Bennington is a gifted narrator and brings a lot of life to the characters in these three books. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? This book keeps your attention and was hard to turn off. Any additional comments? The three books together make a wonderful story of a boy coming of age in the future. It was realy the story of humans against the AI. I would recommend the three books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Die-vielen-Leben-des-Harry-August-Audiobook/B0166WQSEW Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Die vielen Leben des Harry August Autor:: Claire North Erzähler: Stefan Kaminski Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 14 hrs and 8 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11-12-15 Herausgeber: Lübbe Audio Bewertung: 3 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Harry August stirbt.

All three exist aboard the Lifeboat Augusta, where they struggle with extraordinary circumstances in an environment none of them ever expected to experience first hand. Randy Tagget is afraid, and he has every reason to be. The entire human race is on the verge of being wiped out, except for a small number of scientists, engineers, and technology experts who have a slim chance at survival in space.

I'm giving this four stars because it is an entertaining read, but it's not a book, or even a novella -- more of a long short story. So you are just barely getting to know a few of the characters and glimpsing the possible plot when it ends, and to find out more you will have to buy a series of "books." That said, if you enjoy end of the world stories, this one really has the human race in a tight spot. I personally would prefer sitting down with a decent-sized novel rather than a bunch of small stories strung together. Maybe it's a personal thing, but to me something that stops in the middle of the action is not a story, it's a tease. Mankind despiratly seeks to avoid extinction Faced with a planet killing event mankind send a few of the best and brightest off planet. More women are sent than men and the dynamics of habitation are about to change, big time. Well written introduction to the Lifeboat series. Survival of the species is tested Beckett's vision of a doomsday scenario plays out with stunning clarity and humanity as people of influence, intelligence and affluence jockey for seats on ships headed off planet. Who will survive and who will be left behind? How will the survivors manage after they reach orbit? To the Lifeboats is the first book in the series and it will keep readers up until they finish it. Part of a Story I like sci fi and this one is not bad. What I don't like is books that are not complete; books that get you in the middle of a story and all of a sudden you have to buy another book to find out what happens. This is one of those. A bit old-fashioned in style. Not that there's anything wrong with that The writing and plot seem a tad dated, a bit like reading an emulator of Heinlein circa 1960. What is presented is a fair read, but with no pretensions to New Wave or sociology motivated science fiction. Kick back and enjoy a post-cosmic disaster retro style story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Trialogue-Audiobook/B015HKDD6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the future, human's dormant psychic abilities awaken. Like with any new power, those that are "psi-active" -- have use of their psychic powers -- are regulated by special police, known as psi-agents. Lawson Steele is the best of the best in the force. When a fellow agent is brutally killed in the line of duty, Lawson begins a quest for revenge that will take him to a colony on one of Jupiter's moon, and face-to-face with an awesome power that dwarfs his own abilities. In order to win, Lawson has to rely on something other than himself -- something taboo: faith in an invisible God. "Where Truth Lies" takes the reader on a journey of revenge and redemption. Gilliam creates a realistic world populated with people with super powers. The action sequences, where combatants tangle using cars and other large vehicles as weapons, are well crafted. It's a journey where one man who thought he has all the answers, has to face his weaknesses in order to get justice for his friend's murder. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Taken-Audiobook/B013KHA8II Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I would listen to it again but first I want to hear the last book in the series "Solox" What did you like best about this story? I liked the fast action. Loren has been on the search around the world for Kilix and when she finds him, he is not sure he feels the same about her. Problem Which character as performed by Joshua Bennington was your favorite? Peter captures the book and the narrator gives him such a personality that it is hard to dislike such a bad guy. Any additional comments? TREMENDOUSLY entertaining audio book, a must buy! Young Lady hunts for Her Love Would you consider the audio edition of Taken to be better than the print version? Yes...all audio book version are better than the printed version. I enjoy hearing them while I drive or work with my hands. What was one of the most memorable moments of Taken? The most memorable moment of the book was when Loren finaly finds Kilix and Kilix don;t understand how much she loves him/ A real heart breaker. What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Joshua Bennington brings the story to life. He gives the characters a personality and life. He did a particualy good job with the character "Petter". I am not sure if it was just the way Peter talked or his voice that made him such an amusing villain.. Any additional comments? I gave this production of the book a five star rating because it was fast and thrilling. This second book in the series was much more entertaining than the first book.."Kilix". I can not wait to hear the third book. I hope the author has that same narrator.do his third book! Loren searches for Kilix What did you love best about Taken? I loved the villain Peter as done by Joshua Bennington. Reading the book never gave me the same impression of Peter that I got from hearing him speak. Any additional comments? This book was even better than the first book. More action and quicker events. I can not wait to hear the third book! I enjoyed the first two books very much and recommend them. LOREN'S ADVENTURE TO FIND KILIX What made the experience of listening to Taken the most enjoyable? The most enjoyable part of the book was listening to Peter. He is the bad guy some times and a good guy other times. It is hard to dislike him, but he is the villain of the book. You want to see him dead but then again you don't. Great character created by Mr. Chapin and brought to life by Mr. Bennington's narration. What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Joshua Bennington brings audio books alive. He did a supper job with Peter in this book. Any additional comments? I would recommend the the book if for no other reason than Peter. The book is the next in line after "Chronicles of Kilix" I found this one more entertaining and fast moving. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Android-Deception-Audiobook/B0129YW8A4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We get some more background details about the world as a whole, while we follow X and Shortcut around in their hunt for Jeanette Crenshaw and her androids. X gets his memory chip back, and discover some interesting facts. I won't spoil the story, but instead recommend that you listen - or read - it yourself. It's such a rich and exciting world. The characters are great, they're flawed and wonderfully human - even the androids ;) I really like how realistic the author has made this book. He makes the futuristic parts sound very natural, while also exciting. Who wouldn't love to have nano bots riding around their body, discovering you have cancer and take care of that while you're sleeping, just to take one example? So many small notes about things like that, dotted throughout the book. Very clever. We get a big chunk of backstory for the world very nicely woven into the story itself. A great way to integrate it, since it is shown to us through a futuristic museum, and not some awkward conversation about things that both characters already know (which is seen over and over again in a lot of tv shows). Kudos for handling that so well! I truly enjoyed every minute of this book, and I can't wait for the next one! Good narration, although the voice of Shortcut is starting to annoy me a bit, but nothing major so far. The narrator does a good job for pacing along with the storyline. I need to know how this series ends Android Deception picks up where Android Paradox leaves off. You are still following special ops android X and his human spec ops young man (I think you would call him) Shortcut while they try to figure out what in the world is happening to the UEA. Narration of both books in this series was done by Erik Johnson. The style was done in different voices for different characters, which allows the listener to follow along with ease. Johnson has a great voice and he is very easy to listen to. The quality was also perfect, no issues in volume, sound, background noise or distortion. Now, I JUST finished the first book earlier today/late last night. I rarely ever get the chance to go from book one RIGHT into book two of a series. But, I got the chance with this. I was happy to do so because the books were so short it was easy to sit down over an afternoon and listen. This book was faster paced than the first one, with the action better written out (the first one felt a bit jerky). X is a much more likeable character now that I have spent some time with him in the first book. Shortcut is Shortcut. Hes funny and interesting and a bit cocky. The story, like I said was faster in book two compared to the first book. The action was reaching what I felt like was its peak when the book basically ends. Now, I understand wanting to write the next trilogy but I dont see why this trilogy couldnt have been written as two books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Apple-Declined-Audiobook/B0148UWFOQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's an interesting concept relating to what it would be like for beings on another planet who, in their Garden of Eden, did NOT take eat the forbidden apple, and therefore did not bring on the results of sin in their world. And then the humans from earth decide to make contact with them. I'm glad someone took this idea and developed a great story with it! Suweet Story! I feel a little queazy writing a review of this book, ...er, ...uh, ...because I'm the guy who narrated the audiobook version. But, for what it's worth, I reviewed about a hundred books this month for possible narration, and Robert's writing just jumped out at me. Phew. He's created some mighty memorable characters--the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a fun, dynamic, suspense-filled story! Whoa. The premise of the book alone is ...well, damn clever! I just wanna say thank you, Robert, for a very delightful, action-packed, ...and dare I say, even inspirational roller coaster ride. Apple Declined is a great book for all ages! I listened to this book on Audible. It's a good story, I enjoyed it very much. It's thought provoking. Makes you look at the human race from a different perspective. The characters are engaging, the story line is interesting. I would like to see this book turn into a series. The narrator has a unique voice, very easy to listen to. Kinda sorry the story ended. Wonderful read! Wonderful premise! Love the 'what if' to the Adam and Evening question. Wills does an excellent job of creating a realistic world in which to emerge and you'll quickly know which side you want to be on. Highly recommend. ..a great read. It was easy to associate with Nick and his family an interesting story showing that humans may no longer be God's chosen children. It was easy to associate with Nick and his family, especially if you have served in the military. I hope there is a continuation of this story. I'd like to see Nick and his family find a new home and their humanity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Girl-in-the-Gears-Audiobook/B013PQU852 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fun but a bit rough around the edges Entertaining romp, with some flaws. I would describe the genre as steampunk western. The biggest problem was that there was lots of action, and the author isn't particularly good at writing action scenes, so that I had to go back and reread to figure out what just happened. Sometimes I just gave up and moved to the next paragraph, hoping context there would fill in the gaps. As a side note, this feels very much like a YA book, as the danger rarely felt real. Yes, the main characters are being shot at and chased and thrown onto/off of trains, but those never feel like a real threat. Ida's father did feel like a real threat, so I was disappointed that that sequence ended so quickly. Yes, you should. I've never read a steam punk book, and don't really know much about it. I read this because in the description the characters seemed like people that had a story to tell. That said, I enjoyed this story very much. I read this book on my lunch breaks at work, and it made a great diversion from the daily dredge. I plan on reading part two on vacation. If you've gotten this far in investigating into whether or not to read this, making the buy is a pretty safe bet. Highly recommended. I Read To Live Other Lives The adventure gallops along from one tense moment to the next, but that doesn't do it justice. Tension comes in all shapes and forms, and this book gives them their due. Whether the characters are in imminent danger of their lives or are waiting to hear if they're loved or not, there's always something threatening something the characters value. And we care. These aren't comfortable skins to be in, but we're in those skins. Well done! Characters are fun and engaging Characters are fun and engaging. Very fast-paced book that I only put down because I had to. Can't wait for the next installment. Great Story I Loved it!

If you could sum up Z Walkers: Collin in three words, what would they be? Zombie Apocalypse Yay! What did you like best about this story? That Collin was doing something wrong and karma got him! lol Have you listened to any of Ben Kasss other performances before? How does this one compare? No, but I would..he was good to listen to! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I did laugh, because Collin kinda got what he deserved and he was funny! Any additional comments? ** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ** I like a zombie story, the genre is great, and almost every one you read is pretty good! This has Collin a cat burglar...who breaks into peoples houses to support himself and is basically in the wrong place and the wrong time...and BAM Zompacolyse!!!! Kinda Karma! lol I enjoyed this quick story, it was cleverly written and narrated well! Worth a listen and I will continue this mini series!!! :) Thank You Audiobookblast(dot)com Short and sweet? This not a book. There you have it. It is a PART of a book, and a good part to. 1 hour (and 1 min) of a story. Luke Shephard is good, and i want to hear more, so i guess he got me. Honestly: This story is to short! There you have it, and i mean that in a good and bad way. I got this story for free, but would i pay $4.86 for it? Yes, i would but i must say i still think it is short for that price! Luke Shephard is maybe giving you a nibble of a longer storyline, and i have personally nothing against that, but i still think Luke Shephard could have given us a BIT more. So it is not like i am saying :Don't get this, no. I just saying: Know what you get! You get 1 hour of fun, and if you want that almost 5$ is more then okay! Ben Kass, what can i say? I love your voice work! It is one of the best i have heard in a wile! It is at right level, and the voices are normal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Carlsons-Cavaliers-Book-2-Revised-Edition-When-the-Cradle-Will-Rock-Audiobook/B00ZD1TSBI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I wonder if Halloran is a wizard? Once again another exciting chapter in this ten book saga. A cliffhanger indeed as Nath and comrades must face more challenging enemies of evil. And what will become you know who (I'm no spoiler). Starting book eighth installment and I'm rubbing my hands together. The series just gets better. So at 8 of 10 this series is more and more of page Turner. I read this book in a single day. I couldn't stop. The characters grow deeper the story stronger and it seems as if it will end far too soon. I'm quite eager to see how Craig Halloran wraps it up but I really would rather it not end. I read book one because it was free. Nath was irritating and Brenwar highly unlikable. At this point the characters are so developed I'd love to see a movie. Honestly this has risen to the same level as Warcraft and LOTR for me. It's highly undervalued and really an amazing series. But it is good enough that I would finish one and order the ... So here is the issue, there are 10 books, so if you don't get and read them all you will not reach stopping point. in fact book 10 really does not end. He replaces his father as dragon King but is deciding to go look for his mother, so the story continues after book 10. will it ever end???? But it is good enough that I would finish one and order the next immediately. Great book!! Just as interesting and flows smoothly from the last book. I am enjoying the series,! Unfortunately there are only two books left. Great read!! This book was very good. It help fill in some of the blanks on Nath Dragons past that the previous ones touched on but left unexplained. I am looking forward to finding out what the last 2 books have in store for Nath Dragon! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Phasers-of-Anstractor-Audiobook/B00XOSPHUS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting, Refreshing Universe Disclaimer: I did not read the first book in this series. That being said, I really had no problem jumping into this world and its characters. I quickly grasped the important events from the previous book through the conversations of the characters rather than overviews or summary background paragraphs, and what's more, it made me want to go back to read the first book. Anisha Dadia did a fantastic job reading. She was expressive, clear, and I had very little problems discerning between characters while they were speaking. This is not a complaint, but more of an observation (since it did not detract from the listening experience for me) but the recording sounded like it was maybe done in a room maybe a little too big or the acoustics were off. Granted, my headphones are not the best, and it didn't take away from the book itself. I think by coming into the book and not having any preconceived notions or biases of the characters was interesting. At first it was just Rafian and Marian and then other relationships and connections unfolded and I saw their history peeled back by layers even as their stories progressed. I really enjoyed the setting and world building. Greg has made a complex and elaborate universe with all kinds of species of humanoids, aliens, customs, and technology. I couldn't help but think of 70s scifi with bright colors and lots of fantasy elements mixed in, very "space magic" and I loved it. I'll definitely be checking out more of Greg's books. --I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.-- Decent universe, splotchy storyline What was most disappointing about Greg Dragons story? I didn't like sudden jumps forward in time in the middle of what I thought were going to be extended detailed scenes that would setup the next few chapters. Also, the Phasers acquired a new power every few chapters with little backstory. The leader of the Phasers is feared all over the galaxy but is a complete wuss when it comes to women, he cowers when scolded by several female characters. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anisha Dadia? Part of it was the recording, it was extremely flat. Anisha was raspy and nasaly, it got better near the end but she did not deliver a solid narration. I expect a smooth, soft tone with female narrators.

Her slow-witted but equally hardheaded granddaughter, Jenkie, decides to pick up the ball and run with it, taking Granny's unperfected immortality moonshine recipe, a socially inept friend named Bink, and dreams of fame and fortune to an abandoned trailer up in Desper Hollow. But slow-witted doesn't stand against the terrible power Granny initiated. Jenkie's experiments only worsen the troubles with Granny's original recipe, bringing dead critters and a few stray folks back to a state of hungry, vicious, mindless animation. Now a stash of the living dead is locked up in the back of the trailer, a howling heard that has Jenkie terrified. And Armistead, one of the red-eyed living dead, seems way too alert for comfort. Mountain resident Kathy Shaw and Hollywood pitchman Jack Carroll, who is looking for the next hit reality show, find themselves caught up in the growing horror surrounding Desper Hollow. They can't avoid it and must face it head on. So must Armistead, who fights the fog of his ghastly condition to discover the truth of who he really is. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Elizabeth Massie) Fri, 27 Mar 2015 06:58:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Desper-Hollow-Audiobook/B00V8B5M6C thebookvoice.com 07:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fun, different and an enjoyable listen Desper Hollow did meet my expectations as it was described in the publishers summary. My favorite moments were actually the moments that portrayed the characters that sometimes do "pop up" in hill people (as my grandmother used to say). Her father lived in Tennessee and was one of 13 children who survived to adulthood in a mining camp. I digress. At moments disgusting, gory, and downright nasty. The ending will probably surprise you. I will be reading more from this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Nexus-Audiobook/B00UNMKU46 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Nexus Untertitel: Das Internet im Kopf Autor:: Ramez Naam Erzähler: Uve Teschner Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 15 hrs and 9 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 03-16-15 Herausgeber: Ronin - Hörverlag Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Die Nano-Droge ermöglicht es einem, sich mental mit anderen Menschen und mit den Datenströmen des Internets zu verbinden.

Title: The Chaos of Time Subtitle: Book One of the Science Fiction Series Chronicles of Tanis (Volume 1) Author: A. M. Youngblood Narrator: Martin Colvill Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-15 Publisher: A. M. Youngblood Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Philosophers from the future aim to guide the evolution and progress of Earth by breaking Time Travel Law. The preprogrammed systems of time travel keep them from their goals until they meet Tanis. Tanis, a displaced soul and rogue time traveler, seems to have the ability to travel time without restrictions. Where he comes from and how he is able to travel without restrictions mystifies the Philosophers. Upon learning Tanis' reasons for traveling, the Philosophers bribe him with futuristic technology and promise to help him achieve his goals after he helps them change Time Travel Law. Unknown to the future, Earth's ancient past hides a horrifying secret; humanity's evolution and progress is already controlled and protected by the fierce Elaakian, the Watchers, who hold no compassion for mankind and never think twice about wiping out entire civilizations merely to send a message or put humanity in check again. The Philosophers plan to assimilate and merge all of Earth's past with all of Earth's future, hoping to give humanity the power to control their own fate by giving them godlike power over their destiny. Or so they say.... The Chaos of Time is the first book in A. M. Youngblood's Chronicles of Tanis. This adventure explores the essence of time and introduces the series characters. The Chaos of Time builds on a universe consisting of a diverse collection of past, present, and future civilizations on Earth. biacuaduc@gmail.com (A. M.

An unique in time-travel books In the milieu of time travel books out there I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that this story was atypical inasmuch as a) the story doesn't use the usual back and forth or up and down singular road of time travel, instead creating an almost 3D (if you will) variable in transiting spacetime,and b) the much-abused 'filler" of traveling to known historical times and places is also absent. In addition, the added flavor and impacts of "alien" civilizations and their influences and power in the story was excellent - but I don't want to give away too much of the story. There are twists and turns that all readers enjoy and the fractured storyline that time travel readers expect. The book was captivating reading and I was disappointed when I ran out of pages. So, I read it again. :) This book is the first in a series and the writer did well in delivering a great story while also setting up the reader for the stories that will come, and the story left me eager for the next in line. I hope it won't take too long. :) a must read for sci-fi fans Creative and inspiring I really thought I would like this book, based on the 9 previous 5-star reviews Nine reviews to date, and all 5-star? Itâs very rare that I give up on a book; but the only reason that I even read 41% into this book was that I kept thinking that I must be missing something, and Iâd just read a LITTLE bit further. I even went back to Amazon.com twice to read the book description more carefully. The 2nd time around, I also re-read some of those abovementioned 5-star reviews. I must be from another generation than the other reviewers â or maybe from a different timeline, because I just donât âgetâ this book. Iâd like to specifically address a few of the comments that some previous reviewers made. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Odium-Origins-Audiobook/B00UG0RDCM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Also very good The first part of these two novellas was better just because of the better known characters from the main series. I have actually forgotten the names of these characters because their roles were smaller but perhaps the pacing is a bit slower too. Dean and Anne are in this one, the pair that were taking care of that small town and dusting things all the time. Their story is a love triangle were two guys and a girl hunker down in a celler. May sound odd, but I think a lot of people can relate to this. How Anne got all aggressive in the end left me very satisfied. I'd like to see more of Anne and Dean, and with their role in the anti-zombie barrier I cat imagine I won't. But theres a last chapter that talks about the author and her penchant to kill off characters. hrmpf! Hollie Jacksons narration was terrific, nothing to fault. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Die-Kinder-des-Wuestenplaneten-Dune-3-Audiobook/B00TWHYDPK Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Die Kinder des Wüstenplaneten (Dune 3) Autor:: Frank Herbert Erzähler: Simon Jäger, Marianne Rosenberg Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 19 hrs and 26 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 09-17-09 Herausgeber: Lübbe Audio Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Neun Jahre nach dem Weggang des Muad'dibs...

Members Reviews: A fantastic original space Opera keeps unfolding Did you ever take a chance on a book, thinking this probably won't be that exciting and it ends up being one of your most treasured decisions? That's what happened to me! I must be getting jaded but several of the highly rated current sci fi authors have left me cold recently with difficult to follow or boring storylines poorly "audibled" This trilogy is very refreshing... Mike brings his characters to life with his exemplary narration which syncs perfectly with his real world writing style... I've rarely felt so connected with a story, except with a few wonderful full cast audio dramas like Abigail Hilton's "The Guild of the Cowry Catchers" Mike achieves this all himself, conveying each personality in his novels... Faithfully rendering his visions and bringing them to life. In this second book of the trilogy the plot thickens, becoming truly grander in scale.. This is NOT your typical aliens meet humans story by any means... I love the unique unfolding of this original space Opera asking questions of who we are, what is out there and... Oh, it's a real hoot of a journey... I'm eagerly awaiting the third in this series which goes full bore into a cosmic collision on a galactic scale He's reminded me of what good storytelling is all about... Thanks, Mike! Awesome trilogy! Where does Vatican Ambassador rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Alright first let me ask a question. Do you like Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Robinson, Niven, Hamilton? If you like any or all of those authors and their works, you'll like this series too. A great spacer trilogy that gives you a little of everything you'd want and at times makes you wonder if you are reading some lost work by Clarke, Asimov, or Heinlein but at the same time having a distinct flair that is Mike Luoma. Check this trilogy out, then read past it in the same world with the Alibi Jones stories. Vatican Ambassador is book 2 in the trilogy and things really get going good. The Project, Lunar Prime, the classic fun of B.C. Well worth a read, or in this case a listen! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kleine-freie-Maenner-Audiobook/B00TKMOSZW Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Kleine freie Männer Untertitel: Ein Märchen von der Scheibenwelt (Tiffany Weh 1) Autor:: Terry Pratchett Erzähler: Michael-Che Koch Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 9 hrs and 9 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-09-13 Herausgeber: Random House Audio, Deutschland Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Als der kleine Willwoll in die Fänge der bösen Feenkönigin gerät, bricht seine Schwester Tiffany, eine junge Hexe in Ausbildung, mit ihren kampfeslustigen Begleitern, den kleinen freien Männern, zu einer gefahrvollen Reise auf... ©2006 Goldmann (P)2013 Random House Audio biacuaduc@gmail.com (Terry Pratchett) Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:06:09 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kleine-freie-Maenner-Audiobook/B00TKMOSZW thebookvoice.com 09:09:00 no Hören Sie diesen Titel kostenlos bei thebookvoice.com Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Kleine freie Männer Untertitel: Ein Märchen von der Scheibenwelt (Tiffany Weh 1) Autor:: Terry Pratchett Erzähler: Michael-Che Koch Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 9 hrs and 9 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-09-13 Herausgeber: Random House Audio, Deutschland Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Als der kleine Willwoll in die Fänge der bösen Feenkönigin gerät, bricht seine Schwester Tiffany, eine junge Hexe in Ausbildung, mit ihren kampfeslustigen Begleitern, den kleinen freien Männern, zu einer gefahrvollen Reise auf... ©2006 Goldmann (P)2013 Random House Audio Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Kleine freie Männer Untertitel: Ein Märchen von der Scheibenwelt (Tiffany Weh 1) Autor:: Terry Pratchett Erzähler: Michael-Che Koch Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 9 hrs and 9 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-09-13 Herausgeber: Random House Audio, Deutschland Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Als der kleine Willwoll in die Fänge der bösen Feenkönigin gerät, bricht seine Schwester Tiffany, eine junge Hexe in Ausbildung, mit ihren kampfeslustigen Begleitern, den kleinen freien Männern, zu einer gefahrvollen Reise auf... ©2006 Goldmann (P)2013 Random House Audio Mitglieder Bewertungen: Five Stars Wunderbar! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Age-of-Aether-Audiobook/B00T8JY604 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: You need to discover this author! This a a great one off book by Mark Jeffery - an easy read with fun characters and a great steampunk alternate reality - and time travel! If you like this book - don't stop here though- find Mark's series Max Quick - and his other books as well. You'll enjoy the stories and characters!! International Save An Astronaut Day Just finished listening. Again, you've crafted an awesome world. And I loved the Planet Furious mention! That's awesome. I am one person who is dying to hear more about the Age of Aether! The helux dancers sounded awesome- i keep directing the attack on the ballroom in my head, trying to aim more for Guy Ritchie than Jerry Bruckheimer. Actually, this would be an awesome Luc Besson film. I loved how it had the feel of a good solid Heinlein, kinda like Double Star or Friday, but it also had that edge like Moorcock. All in all, i loved it. And Cleveland!? Can you Doctor Who him back on into the sequel?! He was a great character!!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Resistance-Audiobook/B00SAE3V40 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book explores what power can do to different characters, those that have it and those who hide from it. Some outsmart the power, and some are undone by it. But relentlessly running through this book is the thread of power. Power , and the best way to use it. Good sequel What did you love best about Clay? The writing and world/plot development. What did you like best about this story? The world building. Some of the concepts were amazing. Interesting plot twists. What three words best describe David Dietzs voice? David Dietz's voice is engaging and pleasant. However, I was not a fan of his voices. The male ones blended with the narrator's, and the female ones sounded whiny. Most of the male and female voices sounded alike and often times I could not tell who was talking. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, too long for that. Any additional comments? Overall, I enjoyed listening to Clay and recommend it.For a full review, please check my blog Ana's Lair. Brilliant Concept muddled by Jacksonquese Endings DISCLAIMER: I received this copy in exchange for a review. WARNING: This review contains mild spoilers. I have mixed emotions about this novel. Parts of it are so very well done, that the parts that come up a little short are glaring. The world building is intriguing, and had me hooked from the start. The "Halfskin" universe (home of "Halfskin" & "Clay") has an intuitive, lived-in feel. The reader picks up on the social clues scattered by Tony Bertauski, and feels familiar with the world of the narrative. This book stands on it's own. Having said that, reading "Halfskin" first will likely provide richer history, context, and background. We are introduced to a society coming to grips with the ultimate means of empowerment and escape, the "biomites." The gritty, noir feel of the universe is not so much Mad Max as Blade Runner. The raw descriptions of the characters and their settings give you a sense of immediacy. This isn't so much about a far flung future as it is about an alternate now. The audio is very clean, slick, and professional. I didn't hear any duplicated lines, bad edits, or background noise. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Reprisal-Audiobook/B00SACS95S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When even deadlier threats emerge than ever before, can Bill hope to prevail, or will humanity lose the war? Members Reviews: 2 Little Too little of a story, I was looking for more in this sequel. The author didn't develop this book enough for me. I like the addition of the intelligent nanotechnology but wanted more story on Bill. Nuff said! Not Book 2, more like Chapter 2. Not Book 2, more like Chapter 2. Fun but little value at current price. If there is a 3rd Chapter, err, book, I will carefully look at its length to decide if enough (good) entertainment for the price. ... BOTH MEET BILL ONE (1) AND TWO (2) AND LIKED BOTH VERY MUCH MY ONLY COMPLAINT THEY WERE TOO ... I READ BOTH MEET BILL ONE (1) AND TWO (2) AND LIKED BOTH VERY MUCH MY ONLY COMPLAINT THEY WERE TOO SHORT. LOOKIN FOR THE NEXT ONE HOPE IT IS LONGER. A fun read! This book was action packed. A fun read! Four Stars Just like the first book it's full of action and it's a great story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Worms-of-Heaven-Audiobook/B00RVYZSAA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Thumping Good Read Intelligently Done Does it get any better than this? Best Laid Plans is the second book in incredible series by D. P. Prior, Cadman's Gambit being the first. It promises to be a 5 book series and all I can say is Wahoo! There is no second book slump here - the story just keeps getting better and better. It is hard to believe because the first book was so intelligently and beautifully written that the author could tell a story that was better - more lush characterization, human foibles, plot twists and turns, rich use of language and amazing battles - but he did it. My favorite characters, and there are many, are Deacon Shader, a conflicted postulate and knight who fights for good over evil, Captain Podesta, a smuggler with a heart of gold who loves his crew like family, Shadrak, a homunculus assassin trying to do the right thing because of his Mother, Sammy, a 10 year old boy who has lost much of his family and becomes a Dreamer who talks to Gods and their offspring. There are too many to list here. The story continues surrounding the statue of Eingana - everyone wants it because it has the power to either unweave the world and recreate it, or protect it. It depends on your perspective. The statute was broken into 5 pieces to make it harder to reassemble. Then the pieces were hidden across the world with trusted men to insure survival. As the story opens, war is brewing and two of the statue pieces have been stolen by an evil liche named Cadman who owes a soul to a demon and is being tracked by Sektis Gandaw - the most powerful tecnochrat in all the known worlds. Cadman wants the statue for himself so he can rule the world and be immortal cleanly without resorting to feeding on humans to sustain himself. This would make him happy. Sektis Gandaw wants to unweave the worlds and recreate them in his image. He has been living since the 1500's and has created life through genetic crossing, so he just wants to start over again - Gods included. Sektis thinks he know best. The Huntsman, Deacon Shader, the Ipssissimus and the rest of the Elect want to stop them, Shadrak too. If the liche or Sandis Gandaw get the statue then life would be over. War ensues, strange bedfellows are made and the outcome is astonishing to say the least. All I can say is that if you like a good thumping read I recommend this book and the one before it. It doesn't matter whether you like fantasy or science fiction, this is simply reading at its finest. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pine-Needles-Audiobook/B00P6SIEU4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The author cannot write. Im not going to torture myself looking for examples from the book, but Ill make one up to give you an idea of the overuse of adjectives and adverbs (often used incorrectly or illogically): Im sitting prettily and upright in my gargantuan king-sized bed covered with mauve slippery, silken sheets, my somber blue-brown eyes earnestly watching myself in the glaring reflection of my computer screen writing this stupendous review. I bite my plump lower lip, run my sinewy tongue over my blindly white teeth, positively aflutter as to how to pen my review. I wrote that with very little thought. Thats how I think the author wrote her book. No thought, no editing. So it went on like that for the first hour. I dozed off for a few minutes and suddenly the main character is a slave (who is raped on a regular basis) by some overlord from outer space? Something like that anyway. Bad writing, bad plot = lousy book I will return. Brilliant!! I absolutely LOVED this story. It was written brilliantly. It was unlike any storie I've ever listened to. I really hope this author will continue writing more stories of the Veil Realm series and adding them to Audible. I won't write details about this story because I have a tendency to give too much away. I can say this, if you're looking for a story that is different than stories about other world's and people then you MUST listen to this one. The author is extremely gifted and talented and it shows throughout this story. Hollow Jackson, The narrator for this story is just as talented as the author. I was glued to this story until it ended. Hollie's talent shows as she does a brilliant job with her performance of Pine Needles. I've listened to other stories that Billie Jackson has narrated and she never let's me down. I enjoy the accents that she has given each character. I didn't find it hard to distinguish what character was speaking throughout this story. Hollow kept me immersed in this story and I couldn't get enough. Its really a wonderful story, written to perfection and the performance from Hollie was absolutely brilliant. I recommend that everyone who loves fantasy and people who don't give this story a chance. I know you'll LOVE it as much as I did. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Technicolor-Lightning-Storm-Revised-Edition-Audiobook/B00P1KK2I4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Relativity was the ravings of a crackpot amateur scientist--until mission control and the astronaut begin to see anomalies in the quantum entangled communications. A wonderful bit of short fiction with deep emotion, I highly recommend "The Old Equations." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Midnight-Blue-Light-Special-Audiobook/B00OKRAPIG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's a midnight blue-light special, and the sale of the day is on betrayal, deceit...and carnage. Members Reviews: Thoroughly enjoyed this A great follow on from book one.

Members Reviews: Good fun I gotta admire Seanan's imagination, even if it's a bit short on fact-checking, e.g. about Krav Maga, or fighting generally. Suspend disbelief & enjoy for what it is, a joyful fantasy romp. 4. 5 Stars The story itself was very enjoyable. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me is the delivery of the narration was irritatingly slow for my taste. I ended up listening at 1.25 speed which I have never felt the need to do before. That is just a minor complaint so overall I definately recommend giving it a listen. I'm just about to get stuck into book 2! Quirky fun What a fun book. It made me laugh regularly,. It's a quirky of a ballroom dancing ninja style heroine who meets many other world creatures and sets the world to rights (for now) with a satisfying ending that leaves you wanting more. I'm off to find book 2 :) From the author who wrote the Feed trilogy.... What made the experience of listening to Discount Armageddon the most enjoyable? Seanan McGuire, also writer Mira Grant, wrote this, the first in the on going urban fantasy series known as the 'Incryptid' series. Following a daughter of a family of monster investigators, saviours and occasional killers as she tries to make it New York as a dancer, it offers old monsters, but in a modern setting, and time. The lead can kick ass, has friends who can kick ass, and knows when to play friendly too. Who was your favorite character and why? I love the Aeslin mice. Cute and funny, but become a bit horrifying, especially in the short stories, given the colony can remember *everything* that happens to the family they worship. Still they offer an amusing diversion at various points in the books. 3.5 stars- but think the series will get better Liked the book, goofy and kept me interested. Seems like its setting up a world/characters for future books. Happy to see where the series leads to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blood-on-the-Mississippi-Audiobook/B00NUBNFJE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Note: Even though this is Book 2 in the series, it stood well on its own. Clay and Maria are newly weds and they are being constantly attacked as they travel up and down the Mississippi. Maria is a newly minted vampire and still getting use to her powers and how to control her thirst for human blood. Clay turned over a new leaf with his marriage, trying to earn an honest living (usually via gambling) instead of robbing trains. They have a pet vampire horse that was a pretty cool addition to the story. The Order hunts them with priests and guns; a stone angel wants Maria destroyed; and Clay has been invited to an exclusive (and shady) riverboat poker game. This books starts off with action (a hunt through a moonlit graveyard) and only lets up well past the half-way mark when Clay and Maria are tricked into a deadly game of poker. Maria sleeps buried in the earth (snuggling her pet vampire horse) while Clay roams around buying new clothes, drinking whiskey, gambling, and usually trying to get himself killed. A rather spooky young priest leads the charge in hunting them down, flinging insults at them along with deadly knives. Just when it looks like the two newly weds will get in some quality marital bliss time, the stone angel Michael finds them and attempts to destroy Maria (and Clay along with her since he is deadly earnest in defending her). While each action scene was well written, I found myself in a battle fatigue well before we get to the poker game that takes up the last third of the book. It started to all blur together for me. The poker game itself had an interesting twist to it that I enjoyed even while the game itself lacked the intensity of the previous obstacle course of gunfights, knife throwing contests, and stone angel evasion. I am not much of a card game player myself, so I think some of the nuances of the poker game were lost on me and that another reader who enjoys poker games would take more enjoyment from these scenes. The story was full of western cliches and stock idioms. At first, this helped set the scenery and gave me the impression that Clay was not from the Mississippi area (and later we find out that he is from the desert Southwest). But after a while, with repetition of the cliches and idioms, I was a bit dulled by them. Maria herself is from Mexico. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Infiltration-Audiobook/B00NI36D70 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ALL I CAN SAY IS 'WOW' Would you listen to Infiltration again? Why? Yes. The story is deep and intriguing. Many story lines that converge to make the whole. A smart story. What was one of the most memorable moments of Infiltration? When Jonah explains The Reckoning. It gave me chills. What does Kelley Hazen and StorytellerProductions bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Its a smart read. She knows how to tell the story and not get in the way. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes. Any additional comments? I love this series. Any science fiction fan will love it. The mothers of all the conspiracies. If you could sum up Infiltration in three words, what would they be? Good story telling. Who was your favorite character and why? You have to like Jonah, but I like Cal's journey here. He takes being metaphorically knocked around pretty well while chasing ghosts. Have you listened to any of Kelley Hazen and StorytellerProductions s other performances before? How does this one compare? I have only listened to her narrate book one of this story. Subversion was very well done but I have to say Ms. Hazen seems to hit stride with the narration here; it's top notch. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? There is some humor here but a lot more tension, I am wound up and may not recover until the next audio book is released, or Friday happy hour; whichever comes first. Any additional comments? Please get book one "Subversion" first, your listening experience will be enhanced. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Z-End-Audiobook/B00N37B5HO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of both the zombie and dystopian genres. frankly confused What did you like best about Z-End? What did you like least? the story was pretty inventive and moved along at a good pace but it felt like a badly abridged book. I kept thinking there were pages missing from the audiobook - eventually couldn't wait to get to the end of the book so it was over - bought all three and frankly a bit disappointed. Any additional comments? a good story idea badly written. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Metamorphosis-Audiobook/B00LW5N6Z8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When it can help avoid the end of the world. A Good Short Read from H. Beam Piper I rate this one four stars. It's good, well written and the premise is easily grasped and understood. As far as religion, politics, and colonization go, I thought Temple Trouble was a lot more fun, and Naudsonce more inventive. Interesting The story reads well. It has an interesting concept and certainly explains 95% of things rather well. During the story we find out things about the individual that normally would not be told outright. That was the 5% of everything else. Plantation colonialism, but in space H. Beam Piperâs novella Oomphel in the Sky was first pulished in the November 1960 issue of the magazine Analog Science Fact and Fiction. The story is part of Piperâs Terro-Human Future History series, meaning it takes place in the distant future after mankind has colonized numerous planets throughout the galaxy. For the most part, the stories in the series are only loosely connected, however, so despite references to the Terran Federation, no prior knowledge of the series is required to understand or enjoy Oomphel in the Sky. The story takes place around the 28th century on the planet Kwannon, part of the Gettler star system. The Terrans (humans from Earth) have already established colonies and a military presence on Kwannon in order to exploit its resources. The planetâs main export is a âbio crystalâ which grows from a native plant. These plants are grown on plantations run by Terrans, with labor provided by the planetâs native inhabitants, the Kwanns, a race of intelligent humanoids with blue-gray skin. The Gettler star system is a binary system, so the Kwanns have two suns. One of these suns, Gettler Alpha, is about to make its closest approach to the planet Kwannon. While this is natural phenomenon that occurs periodically, the Kwanns see it as the coming of the end of the world. As a result, the usually benign laborers rise up in a series of attacks on the biocrystal plantations, revolting against their Terran masters. Though the Terrans are able to suppress the attacks, more trouble may be imminent as Gettler Alpha approaches. Miles Gilbert, a news reporter, and Foxx Travis, a military officerâboth Terransâset out to find the reason behind the Kwannsâ erratic behavior and quell further rebellion. Piper is great at creating fantastic worlds with believable cultures, governments, and industries. On the one hand the reader is fully immersed in a fictional universe, while on the other hand the inhabitants of this new world behave pretty much the way we do on Earth in terms of conducting business and war. This allows Piper to use the happenings on his fictional world as metaphors for political, military, and economic phenomena right here on Earth. Heâs usually very good at pulling this off, but Oomphel in the Sky is not as successful as most of his work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Leaving-Earth-Audiobook/B00LMJ87A8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why don't you be our secretary and write that down?" (chapter 33) That seems to be the role of women in this book: secretaries, breeders, and accountants. The men have the hard science and leadership roles. A minute later, the same man asks women to ferret out gossip in hair salons and obstetrician offices. I couldn't read any further. In one conversation, two characters discuss putting contraceptives in the general water supply, then discuss how their wives want more kids right away. The message is clear, from that and other dialogue: only the elite should be allowed to procreate. The rest of the population are drains on welfare and other resources. The science is shoddy, too. This book has an interesting premise and ideas, but I can't get past the author's predjudices. I recommend avoiding this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Setting-Boundaries-Audiobook/B00L5M0ERG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another Epic Road Trip In the spirit of Tolkien, this was very much akin to his adventure tales spanning travels by companies of mixed races across the various breath-taking terrains of Middle-Earth. Not to mention including the politics and racial prejudices of the different people. And just like The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring, this also included a visit to the Elven woodland realms with houses and walkways built into trees, and even a brief glimpse of the Dwarven people, which are every inch like Tolkien's Dwarves. And just like Tolkien's creations, the Elves of this piece are also tall, willowy beings of insurmountable beauty, grace, and aloofness in their quiet, reserved ways. Jareth, though, is certainly original in his rumpled wizard robes, messy hair, and endearing naive eagerness, only too happy to meet new beings and fight for trying to unite his world. This would be breath-taking as a movie, but as a book, I was a bit bored by the journey from place to place, marking stones, trying to negotiate with the people along the way (in other words, imagine Fellowship of Ring, but without being chased by Ringwraiths or without the impending doom posed by Sauron). It felt like yet another epic road trip (complete with a sword & archery battle) without really trying to stand out from works like Tolkien's. But this is mainly to serve as an introduction to the main players of The Coming Storm series and it does accomplish that. Loved it! I loved this story... it tells the story before Not Magic Enough and Coming Storm, about three who were thrown together to mark boundaries on lands in the times of a fragile peace between their races, and on the way develop strong friendships not only despite their differences but also despite the efforts of people who want the peace to fail. The author packs a lot of meaning and at the same time action into a short story, and if I hadn't read the other books in the series earlier, it would have made a great introduction to Elon, Jareth and their world. VERY good read! Totally awe inspiring... I was looking for something good, to sate my desire for a good Fantasy. I am so glad I chose this to read. While only 5 Chapters, it is a WONDERFUL introduction the the series of The Coming Storm. In it we are introduced to 3 characters who are wonderfully admirable and honorable. Their quest takes them to the beginings of peace between Man, Elf and Dwarf,setting the boundries for the lands of each. Their friendship developes and is tested. If the rest of the series is as well written and enjoyable, I sooo look forward to it. READ this Novella!! It was just ok. I love George R. R. Martin and thought this would be a great book. It was ok. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Battle-for-LA-Audiobook/B00HG130EE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More crazy lawyer antics in Los Angeles! The Year of Eating Dangerously is the follow-up book to Pay Me in Flesh, a novel about Los Angeles defense attorney-turned-zombie Mallory Caine. The first book was entertaining, striking a good balance between comedy, mystery, noir, and horror. This book retains all the same elements and does a good job though it is a little darker. Mallory Caine is now defending her father, a zombie-slaying zealot who charged with killing an ex-cop by chopping his head off with a sword. Mallory knows the act was self-defense because the ex-cop was a zombie ready to kill, but can she persuade the judge and jury to go along? Meanwhile, a ten-year old boy, Jaime, comes to her saying his mom is trying to kill him. Mallory's undead heart goes out to the boy, though his situation is a lot more complicated than it seems. He's part of an ongoing conspiracy to bring about the rule of Satan over the earth, starting in Los Angeles. She has to go through some legal shenanigans to get custody of him and some fantasy violence to keep him safe. All the while she is trying to find out who had her killed and brought back as a zombie. The legal scenes are entertaining but wildly improbable (for example, the ghost of actor Darren McGavin provides expert witness testimony thanks to information he learned when he starred as Kolchak: The Night Stalker in the 1970s). In the middle of the book, she goes on a vigilante eating spree where she starts killing and consuming some higher-level criminals because they are just too evil and getting away with it. That part was a little too dark and too humorless to fit comfortably with the rest of the book. The big confrontation at the end doesn't really resolve anything, other than intrenching Mallory in her quest to save her soul and her city from the forces of evil. The book is a fun, light read for the most part. I'd recommend it. A good follow-up but plagued with errors Overall I think this was a very good follow-up to the first book. It's an entertaining story that sets up nicely to be a good long series. While I enjoyed the book there were a few things that I found frustrating. First, there are many scenes that set up nicely for a great action sequence however are left falling flat. You get to a great climatic event and rather than following it through we just change scenes to a point in time after it has already ended. The second issue I have is that there seems to be a total lack of editing throughout the book, at least in the Kindle version I have. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Strangers-on-the-Heights-Audiobook/B00HCT790Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Also includes Manly's short novel Nuisance Value, which has been published in an abridged form as The Dark Destroyers. Members Reviews: Olden pulp This is the two stories Strangers on the Heights (aka The Beasts from Beyond) and Nuisance Value (aka The Dark Destroyers). Both tales are late 30's/early 40's pulp adventure, involving aliens (and "Strangers" is superficially similar to Wellman's 1977's Wellman's The Beyonders in parts). Is is great? No. Is it good, and good fun? Yes (although dont ask me why the guy on the cover is holding Han Solo's gun). Strangers is the better story, but Nuisance Value has its moments too. Look, there is no point talking about the plot: either you like this stuff, or you dont. Me telling you anything beyond "old adventure pulp with aliens" is excess to requirements (and even that much is arguably a spoiler). Best of all, prior to this these tales were long out of print, and now they are not. For fans of classic pulp, this is the real thing. E.S.P., Alien Invaders, Space Vampires! Every once in a while I get the itch to read an old-timey pulp tale. In yet another nicely made volume from Night Shade books, I discovered a long out of print (originally from 1944) swift moving, first contact tale complete with e.s.p., teleportation, zombies, invaders from another world, a lantern jawed hero and a beautiful South American damsel. It's also got space vampires allergic to right angles, much like in Peter Watts recent Blindsight. A second short alien invasion novel, Nuisance Value (aka The Dark Destroyers) is included in this volume as well. In all, a light and breezy book that's Good Fun! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fades-the-Light-Audiobook/B00GWRZ1K4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you could sum up Fades the Light in three words, what would they be? Very entertaining story! What did you like best about this story? I love Ron's characters. I also appreciate the survival information. He truly knows his stuff! Have you listened to any of Phil Williamss other performances before? How does this one compare? He's a terrific narrator. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh but it also made me think hard about prepping and how important it is. Any additional comments? Ron fosters books are always a treat! A great ending of the Trilogy and great beginning If you could sum up Fades the Light in three words, what would they be? old preppers prevail What other book might you compare Fades the Light to and why? Any of Rons books actually, he writes a lighthearted survival fiction book that includes a theme of hope. Which scene was your favorite? The visualization of the preppers meeting about how to keep the younger generation from moving away from the community Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes indeed it was.

An ambitious and elite young man's comfortable existence is overturned when he is called on to play a critical role in stopping a growing evil. Miles Dawson, immersed in a dystopian world on the brink of global conflict, wants nothing more than to be recognized and admired by his peers and fellow employees of the Emerson Corporation on their man-made island of Haven. The mighty Emerson Corporation and its island of Haven have separated themselves from the surrounding corrupt, crumbling nations of Earth and have taken humanity's space exploration to new levels, tunneling to new galaxies, battling threats from other worlds, and developing its position of power among these other races. However, storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. The unchecked growing power of the Corporation and it's President, David Emerson, leads to a dark conspiracy. Confronted with a revelation about the Corporation's designs to control humanity, Miles must decide how far he is willing to go. When recruited into a resistance movement by a life-long friend, Miles must struggle internally with his own emotions and motivations as he faces an increasing number of external challenges, which force him to decide where he stands. From his unique vantage point as a citizen of Haven, Miles travels Earth and through space to piece together Emerson's conspiracy, code named Ergo, and stop Oversight, the privileged enforcers of the scheme. The young man and his allies work together to find out the secret of Oversight and to put an end to the tyranny that has begun to corrupt the initial ideals of Haven. The young man finds himself battling not only the enemies around him, but also the questions of his own importance, his growing understanding of his connection to the president, and his changing values of freedom, loyalty, and integrity. Faced with pressure to give in to the opposing forces, he must decide whether to continue on - no matter how great the peril becomes to himself and Earth. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeremy Ray Dooley) Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:13:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ergo-The-Drone-Audiobook/B00ECYC24M thebookvoice.com 09:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cool concept I found this book easy to pick up. It was engaging and always left me wanting to read more. The plot develops quickly and the ending was satisfying. Very good and exciting book for the times The author is very detailed in descriptions of the surroundings and settings of the main character. I felt like I could see the surroundings and place myself there. There is scifi action and futuristic creativity with his view of the future. The book also gives you a look into one mans view of the possible future of our current times. It has an interesting ending leaving the reader wanting to know more. Would very much like to see a sequal and even a movie to see how the author and my imagination differ and compare to his descriptions. Very good book and would definitely recommend it. -Joe A chillingly realistic future In Ergo the Drone, Jeremy Dooley has written an engaging and insightful story about one possible future of mankind. Combining elements of The Last Starfighter, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Atlas Shrugged, and weaving in scenes reminiscent of Die Hard and even Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dooley narrates a very enjoyable tale, which, while holding the reader fast through 300 pages, ultimately fails to to satisfy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zombie-Bake-Off-Audiobook/B00DMAL2EI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Possessing the intensity of a shotgun to the face, Zombie Bake-Off is a stripped-down masterpiece of blood and doughnuts from celebrated author Stephen Graham Jones. Members Reviews: An Undead Confection Zombie Bake-Off is the story of what happens when you lock pro-wrestlers and baking enthusiasts in the same coliseum and then introduce some zombified donuts. Jones's characters and situations are big and broad (in the case of one plus-sized Andre the Giant-esque wrestler, they're enormous), but he packs his chapters with enough wit and heart to make this more than just a bloodbath. Jones's voice is at once stripped-down and folksy, a blend all his own that suits the story well. He's unafraid to apply a screenwriter's shorthand, and it helps to keep the frenetic action moving while maintaining a clear sense of geography. Zombie fans will enjoy Jones's unique Dan O'Bannon 2.0 version of the undead, while anyone who's ever enjoyed wrestling will get a kick out of how he explores the archtypes of that very particular brand of storytelling/performance. I haven't watched wrestling since I was a youngin, back when the WWE was the WWF, but I still giggled at some of the wrestlers and their gimmicks (The Village Person: an amalgamation of all five Village People. Classic). Leagues sillier than the rest of his work that I've read, Zombie Bake-Off delivers the goods and turned this skeptic into a believer. It's everything you could hope for from a book dedicated to Tarman. During the final lines of the epilogue, I swear I heard the first chords of "Party Time" by 45 Graves(the theme music to RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD). I enjoyed it. An original take on the classic zombie story, entertaining and fun. I marked "Some violence", but it IS a zombie story. You have to expect that in this genre. An action flick on wood pulp... You think you know your zombies. Get bitten by one, become one. The fixation on brains. Exterminate with the liberal application of lead to the brain case. Well, yeah, maybe you do. So, pop quiz: Do you know what happens when you mix Desperate Housewives, WWE, the Food Network, and George A. Romero then bake at 350 for two-hundred pages? Let Stephen Graham Jones show you with his novel, "Zombie Bake-Off." Let me be blunt: this is novel is not some great literary achievement.

Title: Debt Collector, Episodes 1-3 Author: Susan Kaye Quinn Narrator: Max Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-13 Publisher: Susan Kaye Quinn Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: EPISODES 1-3 ("Delirium," "Agony," "Ecstasy") of the Debt Collector serial. Contains mature content and themes. What's your life worth on the open market? A debt collector can tell you precisely. Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane... until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted by a sex worker who isn't what she seems, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone - a dark pit he's not sure he'll be able to climb out of again. These are the first three of nine episodes in the first season of The Debt Collector serial. This dark and gritty future-noir is about a world where your life worth is tabulated on the open market and going into debt risks a lot more than your credit rating.

EPISODE LIST "Delirium" - Debt Collector 1 "Agony" - Debt Collector 2 "Ecstasy" - Debt Collector 3 Members Reviews: Creative... Follows Lirium a grim reaper but not in the normal sense of the word, your life is a balance sheet and you are given finance on what you can contribute to society. But if you get ill and are unable to pay the money back for example, a grim will come and take the remainder of your life and pass it on to the creditor. the life is like a drug, a high like no other. there are rules though and boundaries not to be passed. Grims are rare and you either work for the tightly controlled government or the underground. I enjoyed this very much but would liked to of listened to the whole book together, instead of having to use two credits to get the rest of the story, not sure I will bother on principle because at the end you really are left in limbo, I thought there would of least been some closure. Despite my moans a refreshing change to the genre.

Wearing a Dreamcap while you sleep enables broadcasters to send dreams directly into your unconscious mind, giving you an entertainment experience as intensely real as though you'd been there yourself. Wayne Corrigan is a performer at Dramatic Dreams, one of the smaller broadcast studios in the Los Angeles area. Janet Meyers, the lady Wayne's in love with but is too shy to tell her, is another.

But I need 15 words, minimum... so how's the weather? Don't waste your money Any additional comments? I was really excited about this book, as I like end of the world books and recently moved to St. Louis. Unfortunately I could not find one redeeming quality to this book. The story was terrible with a weak plot. It sounded like it was written by a high schooler with delusions of grandeur. Something goes wrong and then main characters are the magically saved. The story was also painfully short and it would probably only be the first couple chapters in a good zombie novel. Short version is save your money; I wish I had. Mary Sue vs. Zombies Any additional comments? The writing is awful. I don't mind survivalist porn if that's what you want, but like fifty shades of grey this is written terribly and the protagonist is unbelievably perfect and awesome at everything despite being a 'normal' guy. I was driven nuts by paragraphs that went like this: "I saw the Item and decided it was a good item. I took the Item and used the item to do a thing that the item was good at." Does the author not know how to use pronouns? Even the narrator sounded like he was trying to get through it as painlessly as possible so he could collect his paycheck and go get drunk to forget the stupid. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Desperate-Measures-Audiobook/B00BSH34MA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As another reviewer mentioned, there is WAYYYYYYY too much padding in this book. It's ridiculous that you are 264 pages into the freaking story before you even find out what the crime is. Why does it take 48 pages for a spaceship to crash? And something only barely explained: BSI operatives are specifically explained as having the bare minimum of spaceship piloting training due to cost cutbacks. So how is it that their juvenile antics manage to successfully avoid the targeting skills of professional military technicians firing state-of-the-art ordinance at them? Why Allen took the time to carefully mention that BSI Operatives are lousy pilots and then had them outfly anti-aircraft fire (which is designed to shoot down military craft) while flying a civilian ship (which would have about one fifth the maneuverability and acceleration of a military ship-- the craft that the anti-aircraft guns are DESIGNED TO SHOOT DOWN!) defies comprehension. It was an attempt to heighten the suspense that got old after the first twenty pages-- and then dragged on for another twenty-EIGHT pages before the anti-climactic ending of the scene. Hemingway is rolling over in his grave right now. ("The spaceship crashed. In the mud.") I purchased this book for the same reason you probably grabbed it: the idea of "CSI in Space." I thought it would be interesting to see today's TV-enhanced forensics through the eyes of science fiction. It's an aspect of Sci-Fi that has largely been ignored: the technological murder/mystery case. Unfortunately, the padding makes me want to literally rip about two hundred pages out of the book. (It sort of reminded me of "Men's Health" magazine; once you tear out all the advertisements you end up with about 1/3 the pages.) Add into the extra padding the sort of bad guy incompetence that Imperial Stormtroopers would be proud of, and we end up taking a good plot line and setting and turning it into a dull treatise on how NOT to tell a story. I was extremely disappointed in this book, which looks like it is going to lead into a series. I think I'm going to give the rest a wide berth. ~D. Very enetertaining series The BSI: Starside series is very entertaining and I have bought and read them all.

Members Reviews: very dry What disappointed you about Standing Wave? The story dragged on and ended without an ending. Has Standing Wave turned you off from other books in this genre? No Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joseph Scott Anthony? Scott Brick, Joseph's reading was to choppy, to many pauses detracted from an already dry book. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I am not sure, I never was able to get into the story. It was like shifting gears in a manual transmission without a clutch. All the different storylines just kept grinding against each other. Any additional comments? I had to force myself to finish this book. Not enjoyable at all. I love sci-fi and would like to try the plot again but maybe with a different narrator. A difficult listen Would you try another book written by Howard V. Hendrix or narrated by Joseph Scott Anthony? The writer has spent a large amount of time investigating physics both quantum and metaphysical, he then uses them to propel the main story line forward, but in doing so spends far too much time trying to explain the theory's themselves. This may work for a physical book where a reader can stop and contemplate what they have read, but this does not work well for an audiobook where pausing / rewinding is far more tricky. What could Howard V. Hendrix have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Pulled back from the more in-depth descriptions of the physics, and brought the separate characters together in a more cohesive way, by the end there was still only a few clues as to what joined all the strands. What about Joseph Scott Anthonys performance did you like? The narrator work well with the book, and the characters were reasonably distinct. Do you think Standing Wave needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? *Spoilers* no, the ending became a metaphysical mess, with the actors gaining "near god like" powers. A follow-up would be impractical. *spoilers* https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Shelter-Audiobook/B00APOR3HE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Edit, Edit, Edit! Redundant! This book could have been a marvelous read. The premise is quite interesting. However, the author gives us little to ponder because she drives home every possible point with an iron fist! Each motive for every character is dissected and delivered not only once by multiple times. Had I been editor, I would have cut half of the content. Had I been the author, I would have paced the story so the first half did not drag and the last third did not hurry to tie up all of the loose ends. In my opinion, a missed opportunity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Eros-at-Zenith-Audiobook/B00AM3APTQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Quality Resnick Fare (if a slight repetition) What did you like most about Eros at Zenith? This audiobook ranks almost as highly for me as the first part, 'Eros Ascending'; it's unabridged so it is long, but it's never dull. I was excited to reach the conclusion, but not as gripped along the way as with the first story (only because it very much felt like more of the same). What other book might you compare Eros at Zenith to, and why? Eros Ascending is typical, quality Mike Resnick writing. Having listened to the first three books in this series of four, I'd have to say that this second story sits in second place. What does Nancy Linari bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Nancy Linari is one of the very best voice actors I've ever heard. She's superb in every respect and a perfect choice for the Eros series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/RenSime-Audiobook/B00AKNDHNE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable Laneff is a disjuncted scientist who gains the public spotlight when she discovers a way to discern sime from gen- at birth. (Simes and gens are mutated humans who have very different characteristics. Namely, Simes have tentacles, and gens are like human batteries, creating the energy Simes must feed on to live). This test is highly controversial and riles up a local radical group Diet who target her for assassination. Added by her boyfriend Shanlun, and a mysterious Distect rebel leader Yuan, Laneff goes into hiding to continue her research where she also experiences the Distect lifestyle firsthand, and has an drug induced hallucination which changes her life. I must admit, I'm pretty biased in my liking for the Sime~Gen novels. I did really enjoy seeing a book set in a more modern era. I particularly enjoyed hearing about the politics, and thought Shanlun, her boyfriend was a cutie. Unfortunately, a lot of the excitement occurs outside the lab, as it is Shanlun, and Mairis and Yuan (the rebel leader), who are outside dealing with several crisis. Laneff spends a great deal of time in the lab, assisted by her Gen donor, Jarmi. I was pleased to see the Diet had mellowed some since Digen's experience in Unto Zeor. They seem to have divested themselves of the Social Darwinism, (survival of the fittest), in the manner in which they deal with channels and allow for a choice rather than advocating strict Sime~Gen transfer. *SPOILERS* Just general thoughts: While I enjoyed this story, it felt a bit short to me, and there were a lot of things that seemed a trifle too neat, or unfinished or not fleshed out enough. There is a love triangle going on between Shanlun/Mairis/Yuan which seemed a touch weak. Then there is the political situation between Mairis/Yuan which was interesting to see Keon/Farris working together, and Miss Laneff's solution to use herself as a human test subject, which all seemed a bit rushed. I also do not see how the Distect lifestyle is better than the Tecton, lifestyle, as it seems like in both groups people who are at the high end of the spectrum (such as Yuan and Laneff), are not getting their needs met in the Distect lifestyle. I was also really suprised that no one read Miss Laneff the riot act for using herself and the baby as a human test subject. *END SPOILERS* This was an enjoyable read, but it really needs a sequel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Endgame-Enigma-Audiobook/B00AADM1FY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the not to distant future Russia has built a space station that is totally unique and indescribable. However, prior to the final construction of the space station, American intelligence has gotten word that the space station is actually a battle platform that will totally wipe out the Americans in a nuclear war. Since the Americans are still in a power struggle with the Russians, they decide to send in two covert spies in order to find a missing data that will show the space station is not what it seems. However, the two Americans are caught and forced into a jail that is located on the space station. While in prison the Americans find a way to make contacts to the Americans, but the Russians are still publically claiming that the space station is just that....a space station. These two spies must determine the relevance of the space station or have American face politically humiliation by accusing the Soviets of potential nuclear battle platforms in space. The novel is pretty simple to get through, and the plot can be intriguing at times. But, the novel can also drag at certain parts. Overall, the idea is interesting due to the similarities of the stress during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Overall, the book is average, but has an interesting political situation in it. James P. Hogan is no Tom Clancy, but... Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of Hogan ever since I bought an old, battered paperback of "Inherit the Stars" at a street- market bookstore in 1989. However, "Endgame Enigma" is not "Inherit the Stars." The science in the book is well thought-out, as always, but the plot is far too simplistic, and the spy-story theme just doesn't stand up to the rest of the genre. I will give kudos for the surprise ending, though. To simplify, if you are a fan of both sci-fi and political fiction novels, don't buy the book. However, for fans of sci-fi only, or especially James P. Hogan fans, buy the book as an introduction to the world of political intrigue. Then go pick up some Clancy. Not completely outdated On the surface, this book may appear outdated since it extrapolates the cold war US/Soviet standoff into the near future. However, at a deeper and more personal level, this book is fundamentally about the nature of truth. The surprise ending forced me to reread the book and look at it more from the angle of deception and truth. This theme is as relevant if not more relevant today than it was when the book was written. And, it is certainly an entertaining yarn. Something for everyone When I read this book I had the feeling that I was watching a very well made movie. The pace was fast, the discriptions vivid, and the characters were belivable.

Members Reviews: Looking back on the future is a strange mirror. I first read Leigh Brackett's "Coming of the Terrans" when I was a kid, and didn't see the book again for fifty years. In those years that passed, things changed. Back then was a world of 33 1/3 records ( in stereo ), a Western Union office on the main street and, unless you bought a special airmail stamp, your letter was whisked across the country by a modern streamliner* ( and sorted en route in a Railway Post Office car coupled onto the head end of the train ). Back then, Brackett's Mars wasn't really plausible, but it was possible. Reading the book again provides a few annoyances, after Brackett makes a masterful description of a Martian house with embers glowing on a brazier, a small voice in the head mentions that you can't have a fire in Mars' atmosphere. The drama of the main characters getting lost in the ancient Martian desert makes you realize that they don't have GPS. It's the little things that date the stories. They do, however, seem to have something similar to a Kindle. To make matters even worse, Brackett has given dates to her stories. The first story occurred on Mars in 1998, fifty years after she wrote the story. The next story is five years from now. We're running late! Stuff like that is why I love old science fiction. Her characters, however, are fairly timeless. The one representative of the smug age in which these stories were written is soundly and ritually humiliated in "Purple Priestess of the Mad Moon". Otherwise, they are the sort one would expect to have found in early Portuguese Goa, Dodge City, or along the old Silk Road. A type that does not really belong much to any time or place. I don't think her readers have changed all that much either. The veiled eroticism of "The Beast Jewel of Mars" seems more obvious than when I first read it. "Mars Minus Bisha" seems a more poignant view of a preadolescent outlook, before the dawning awareness of the absoluteness of our uniqueness and mortality, now than it did when I first read it. I suspect these topics will resonate with readers in the future as well, regardless of how much more we learn about Mars. Some people insist that her work is more fantasy than true science fiction. I have a more radical view. I think science fiction always wanted to be fantasy and the scientific pretensions were just to coax the reader into joining the story. Old science fiction has not been discredited, it has become a genre of adventure into a future that never was. Although nobody wants to admit it now, when we sent Mariner to look at Mars we wanted to find cities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Island-Worlds-Audiobook/B00A7WC6C6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great scifi This book explores some interesting topics. Ranging from geo-political power struggles, overpopulation, the ever decreasing natural resources of earth, mass population manipulation through multi-media, and social class structures. The main theme throughout revolves around how it feels to be a colony and the dynamics of wanting to remain independent, reminiscent of stories about the American Colonies wanting to break away from Britain, or Brazil breaking away from Portugal, etc. Wonderful concepts are explored about how humanity might go out into space. About how we would live and adapt to life on other planets, moons, and eventually large asteroids. Overall a very enjoyable read. Yet another American Revolution In Space novel Yet another "American Revolution In Space" novel. (Curse you, Robert Heinlein, for creating the cliche that became a blight upon us!) It was an enjoyable-enough read, though there's not really much to reccomend it, though there's a bit about a Space Marine hero from a previous generation who's family were sort of hiding the fact he was a midget just mostly out of embarasment. That was a throw-away gag, but was kind of fun. There's an uncomfortable subplot about a teenaged girl being impregnated by a middle-aged man, and this is put forward as if it's ok because the girl is a super-genius, and hence fully in charge of her own decisions. It's a very minor part of the book, but it's still rather ookey and put forth as though it's perfectly OK. Haven't read any other books in the series. Doubt I will. Predictable, not much fun I picked this book up from the library and read it over the holidays since I didn't have anything else to do. While I do enjoy some science fiction, this one was remarkably boring. The authors simply don't have the talent necessary to create real suspense. In addition, this book doesn't feature any of the scientific creativity that marks any good SF works. The Island Worlds is set a few hundred years in the future, when some humans have established colonies in the asteroid belt. The Earth, meanwhile, is controlled by one government, and a group of bureaucrats is trying to shut down the space exploration industry, leading to a war between the "good guys" in space and the "bad guys" from Earth. The ending of the book is entirely predictable, and there aren't any major plot events that you can't see coming well in advance. Overall, this book just doesn't stand out from the thousands of other SF titles out there. Pulp sci-fi I read this book back in junior high school. Space colonists residing on the Moon, Mars and hollowed out asteroids rebel against the centralized government of earth. No deep thinking or theorizing along the lines of Heinlein or Asimov, but an enjoyable read. Predictable Space Cowboys, Pulpy 1980's Style The opening scene features exploitation capitalists going to a party, including Taggart (dig at Dagney from Rand's Atlas Shrugged?). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Starmen-Audiobook/B009ZZTCLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not Leigh's Best Originally published in the March 1951 edition of Startling Stories pulp magazine, then subsequently published in hardcover by Gnome Press in 1952, this was later revised and cut by about 20,000 words and retitled The Galactic Breed to be published as half of an Ace Double. Strangely, that's the title of the Kindle edition linked to by Audible if you get the whispersync deal. Also, the author of that Kindle edition is only listed as "Leigh." Annoying. Oh, and this book was also later retitled The Starmen of Llyrdis. Whew. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this book even though I love Leigh Brackett, this isn't one of her best. The narrator performed very well, but the story was rather dull. If you're looking for a Leigh Brackett audiobook you should look elsewhere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Cursed-Audiobook/B009LNZGG0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Since the empire had fallen a hundred years ago, Gwin and her people had nearly given up hope that the Renewer would come. Gwin had lost everything. Her husband was killed in one of the wars. Her children died of Star Sickness. Even her work at the hostel was in jeopardy because the politicians had it out for her. The cursed Gwin, therefore, had nothing to lose. When she took in the girl, a survivor of the Star Sickness, it was a dreadful crime. Gwin was at the end of her rope, and possibly the end of her life if she was found out. But the Sickness had left the girl with certain magic, certain powers which could prove very useful to them both. Was it possible that this young survivor could save their lives and the empire?

As always with Duncan, the characters are well chiseled, and the story is excellent. However, there were so many deities and characters involved in this story, that I think I would have been able to keep them all better apart if I had read the book and seen all the names spelled out, instead of listening to them. Towards the end, it felt rather long, but I still could not put it away. I had to know how it ended! And it's always a thrill to see what Duncan has come up with. Who was your favorite character and why? One of Dave Duncan's strengths is his ability to create strong, belieavable female characters. Gwin Solith, the lead character in 'The Cursed' is definitely one of them. It's very interesting to see how well she adapts to the changes in her life, and to see how she influences others. In my opinion, Duncan is the master of this. What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator did a good job, but I have grown more accustomed to British readers, and did not really enjoy Peter Berkrot. He did however do a good job keeping all the different characters apart, giving them life. If this book were a movie would you go see it? If I would see the movie? Well, that depends on who would make it. I think I would prefer the book over the movie. worst 2nd half of any book What disappointed you about The Cursed? Author ignored, killed or twisted every developed character until I cursed the impulse that caused me to buy this. By the end I didn't even care what happened next to anyone. Worst Duncan book ever. How could an author take such a good start and so completely destroy it. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/2052-Audiobook/B0096Q68GO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sometimes more background information would have been good. Good narrator though. this book is great this was the first book I ever got form audible and it was the greatest story ever kind got lost in the middle but me and my family were on a road trip and so we listened to the whole thing over the few day of the trip. then cam to realize it was the last of a trilogy. since then we have bought the other two book and they are just as amazing as 2052 if you like sci-fi, cursing, and family this is your book, just give it a try you won't be disappointed Loved this trilogy! Would you consider the audio edition of 2052 to be better than the print version? Both were great. What other book might you compare 2052 to and why? Future Tense, same fast paced, can't stop listening enjoyment. What about David Doerschs performance did you like? David was great reading various accents for the many characters. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? many...but when the Earth was facing total destruction, the family heartbreaking choices left me tearing up, Any additional comments?

The characters are well defined but unpredictable, just like in real life.

Members Reviews: This is My Book This is my book but below are some review extracts of the eBook version of The Zochtil Review Extracts: Packed with action and plenty of sci-fi elements, J.A. Dalley creates a universe that draws you in and makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters. I found The Zochtil to be very entertaining. The characters are engaging and interesting. The story is a fast-paced, action-packed experience. I never read books but I was able to get into this one and really enjoy it cant wait for the next book to come out. From start to finish Dalley keeps you pulled into the story. The Audible "Zochtil" What made the experience of listening to The Zochtil the most enjoyable? The reader makes the story come to life much more than just reading the book. Have done both. Who was your favorite character and why? Almek Manning--The entire story is viewed through his eyes. What does Nick Sullivan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Nick Sullivan has the great ability to make each character is the book well defined. It is as if he has become that character. He makes the story move along and makes the listener feel like he was there viewing the happenings Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? The book was too long to listen to it at one time. It was good that it was divided so that it has a logical stopping point and then could easily pick up the story line without any difficulty. Any additional comments? When is the next book in the series going to be available. The book is written very much like a script for a movie and has the dialog well defined. Fun futuristic coming of age story. If you could sum up The Zochtil in three words, what would they be? Vengeance is mine. Who was your favorite character and why? Saphire. I mean, how can you go wrong with a cat alien that change to humanoid form? Which character as performed by Nick Sullivan was your favorite? The lead, Almek Manning. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me smile spontaneously at various points. Nice Starter Story This book is what seems to be leeding up to a very good next book! It has a good plot so far, and good narration. Worth a listen. I will listen to the next book. Let me introduce ALMEK MANNING!! It is definitely something to my taste. It was easy going and very interesting story. i didn't notice the time as it passed by. During the story I had a vague sense of deja vu , but I couldn't understand why? I think the book felt like a merger of New Star Trek movie and the first book of STEN series. I will definitely get the second book as soon as it gets out! Nnarration as always was superb. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/When-We-Have-Wings-Audiobook/B008EYO5SM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: When We Have Wings Author: Claire Corbett Narrator: Peter Hosking Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 06-28-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Flight - you'll dream about it. She had never seen the sky in all her life before. How high could she fly? What was the limit? She was already so high the Earth was no longer real. Only her in the sky. Every spiral pure joy. This was Flight. It was for this she'd risked and endured so much. It had to be worth it. The dream of being able to fly is now a physical reality but only the rich and powerful can afford the surgery, drugs, and gene manipulation to become fliers. Peri, a poor girl from the regions, will sacrifice anything to get her wings and join this elite but the price is higher than she could have imagined. So why then does she throw it all away? Critic Reviews: "This book is intoxicating; it made me imagine things I never imagined before. The world of flying is so complete, so detailed and real, it was as if I was flying, as if I could feel my wings. This is an addictive mystery, clever and compelling." (Jane Campion, director of The Piano and Bright Star) "A brilliantly conceived vision, bold in its execution and utterly convincing in its detail. When We Have Wings is that rare thing, a compelling read that is both emotionally and intellectually satisfying."

Title: When We Have Wings Author: Claire Corbett Narrator: Peter Hosking Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 06-28-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Flight - you'll dream about it. She had never seen the sky in all her life before. How high could she fly? What was the limit? She was already so high the Earth was no longer real. Only her in the sky. Every spiral pure joy. This was Flight. It was for this she'd risked and endured so much. It had to be worth it. The dream of being able to fly is now a physical reality but only the rich and powerful can afford the surgery, drugs, and gene manipulation to become fliers. Peri, a poor girl from the regions, will sacrifice anything to get her wings and join this elite but the price is higher than she could have imagined. So why then does she throw it all away? Critic Reviews: "This book is intoxicating; it made me imagine things I never imagined before. The world of flying is so complete, so detailed and real, it was as if I was flying, as if I could feel my wings. This is an addictive mystery, clever and compelling." (Jane Campion, director of The Piano and Bright Star) "A brilliantly conceived vision, bold in its execution and utterly convincing in its detail. When We Have Wings is that rare thing, a compelling read that is both emotionally and intellectually satisfying."

(Helen Watson White, Sunday Star Times, NZ) Members Reviews: Very fun read as well Fascinating story about what would happen if people really were able to gain wings, how it could affect those with and those without. Very fun read as well. An original and compelling read... Peri, a beautiful young girl from the disenfranchised and underprivileged fringes of an unnamed country, has escaped to The City where she realises her dream of becoming a "Flyer"- one of the few humans with the resources to be genetically and physically altered and become winged. Set in a Dystopian future city which seems to share more than a few features with Sydney Australia, this story finds Peri working as a nanny for a rich Flyer family with a baby (Hugo). Peri has wings- which we learn is highly unusual for a girl of her status, and when she chooses to flee the city taking the baby with her, a series of events unfolds via her pursuit by a private detective. Has Peri's choice to become a Flyer, with all the written and unwritten clauses which bind her, taken more than what is fair from her? This book has many features to recommend it: it is an original concept, clearly very well researched, and passionately written. As the story unfolds, several subplots unfurl, which follow the reasons for Peri's escape, why she was granted wings, and the true relationship between her and her employers, the often sinister motives of big Pharma, medicine, and government agencies. I enjoyed the pace of this story and the narrative was engaging and the prose flowing, descriptive, and thoughtful. I think my main criticism would be that the competing plot lines occasionally (for me) overly and unnecessarily complicated the main story- i.e what happens to Peri and baby Hugo. I think Peri's motivations and feelings become buried in the political subtexts to the point where I became occasionally bored and skipped ahead to "find" her. Overall, this is an imaginative, highly original and well-wrought tale which I read at a cracking pace because I quickly became completely immersed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Le-tres-grand-nettoyage-The-Great-Clean-Up-Audiobook/B00804KMZG Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titre: Le très grand nettoyage [The Great Clean-Up] Sous-titre: Bascule vers un nouvel âge Auteur: Romuald Reber Narrateur: Yvan Piantella Format: Unabridged Durée: 5 hrs and 25 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 05-05-12 Éditeur: Editionsrodarima.ch Evaluation: 2 sur 5 sur 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Résumé de l'éditeur: Jeremy Parker est chercheur en nanotechnologies.

In what was undoubtedly the most spectacular feat of the century, it simply picked itself up one night and rose two full miles above Earth! Radio messages stated simply that Superior had seceded from Earth. But Don Cort, stranded on that rising town, was beginning to suspect that nothing was simple about Superior except its citizens. Calmly they accepted their rise in the world as being due to one of their local townspeople, a crackpot professor. But after a couple of weeks of floating around, it began to be obvious that the professor had no idea how to get them down. So then it was up to Cort: either find a way to anchor Superior, or spend the rest of his days on the smallest - and the nuttiest - planet in the galaxy!

Members Reviews: Silly. But fun. A very light hearted cross between science fiction and fantasy. A good read and a good way to pass the time Kind of light hearted science fiction No blasters, lasers, giant crawling bugs. Kids could read this. The plot isn't very deep but it is a quick, enjoyable read. love these classics very interesting and hard to put down Enjoyable SF fluff from 1960 AND THEN THE TOWN TOOK OFF was originally published in 1960 as half of an Ace-Double paperback, and the cover illustration of this Jovian Press edition is the same one Ace used (but with the top of it ever so slightly cropped). Essentially a lightweight piece of fluff, this SF yarn has very little science in it but much tongue-in-cheek social commentary and humor. It's neither great nor classic, but it IS fun to read. And for those of us who first read it back in the day, it sure brings back fond memories of candy store spinner-racks filled with enticing $.35 paperbacks, their colorfuful and alluring covers demanding to be picked up and considered for purchase. For that reason alone I was initially inclined to rate this book 5-stars, but upon somber reflection, assigned it a more realistic 4. I suspect, however, that those who confront it without such warm fuzzies may choose to rate it one lower, because even though it's a short book, its humor does begin to wear thin by the time the story ends. As I said, it's not great, but it will appeal to those who especially enjoy less-than-serious pulp SF stories from almost 60 years ago. If nothing else, it's fun to read, and if it doesn't make you laugh, it should make you smile (at least for a little while). While this remains free, you have nothing to lose by downloading it. Thereafter, however, you may wish to consider purchasing, instead, THE SEVENTH SCIENCE FICTION MEGAPACK from Wildside Press; for $.99 you get AND THEN THE TOWN TOOK OFF and 24 additional stories. That's a great deal -- but you won't get the book's original cover illustration. ADDENDUM: Because Amazon has once again lumped all reviews for this title together -- even though from different publishers -- I've discovered that one of mine from a couple of years back now also appears here. It says about the same thing, but is very long-winded. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Mirrors-and-Magic-Audiobook/B00KWGM0P0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Princess Of The Circus And The Evil Queen Would you listen to Mirrors and Magic again? Why? Yes! It is an amazing series and I really enjoy each foray into this world. I can't imagine not revisiting each story many times. This was, by far, my favorite installment of this unique series. Which character as performed by Hollie Jackson was your favorite? Hollie Jackson brought each and every character to life vividly, but I have to say Neve was my favorite character! She grows from a scared little girl, afraid to lose her place with her adopted family, into a strong and vivacious woman at ease with herself and unafraid of anything or anyone :) The accents were truly amazing and the best I have heard so far from any voice actor on Audible! I can't wait to hear what she does next :) Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book made me laugh alot more than I expected it to! The animals were definitely unique characters and good for many laughs. Any additional comments? This series does not need to be listened to (or read) in order as it consists of stories just based in the same world and not necessarily connected to each other via plot or storyline. This is the third book written based in this world. I suggest listening to (or reading) Bitter Cold first though (as I did) because it seems to be the first book chronilogically speaking. I can't wait to listen to more! Neve has lived with the circus for as long as she can remember. She lost her mother when she was very young and her father died in a tragic accident when she was merely 8. That was ten long years ago and now she is afraid her time with her adopted family is almost up. Her guardian, the owner of the circus, has been avoiding her. She has a secret she is reluctant to share with anyone... They might laugh at her... She might be terrible. And, of course, the reigning Queen of the Circus hates her with a passion. Her father was the greatest Illusionist that ever lived and she is not sure that his tragic life ending accident was truly an accident. She does what she can to keep the Circus running smoothly. Feeding animals, helping people prefect their acts, any odd job she can find, even though nothing is expected of her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Seventh-Audiobook/B00KSGJU7A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What disappointed you about Seventh? It started off well, in the fact that you wanted to listen and try to figure out what the deal is about the plot, but then it happens. You get the plot, and the rest of the book is an endless loop....a bit of revelation, then boom - off on another tangent. Not my style of literary strategy. Would you be willing to try another book from Heath Pfaff? Why or why not? I would try another book, hopefully better than this one. Which scene was your favorite? The abrupt end. Gave me the biggest WTF? I've had in a long time - thanks. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Frustration and anger....in that I forced myself thru to the end, and was rewarded with an even worse termination of the plot than I imagined. Got a good laugh at myself over that. Any additional comments? The narrator Sean Schroeder was quite good. I could tell though at certain points, even Sean had lost the plot, or at least I imagined it (pun for the author). The author should keep writing - there's potential there, but this story made me crazy. It almost got good, at certain points.... Interesting and Suprising Would you listen to Seventh again? Why? Yes. There was a lot of complexity in the story and I would enjoy going back to it in a year or so and picking up on different elements that I missed What did you like best about this story? That I enjoyed it so much.... I got this story from a Reddit give away and was somewhat dubious going in given it is not my normal type of book. It managed to hook me quickly and keep me interested. What does Sean Schroeder bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Set the right pace with the novel. Was able to give the right inflection and presence to most scenes. I would have like a little more emotion in some of the madness experienced by the main character (but this could have gone very badly...). Would have a great voice for military sci fi. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Ahh.. maybe spoilers.... the moment when he realised he killed the marine. Not sure why, but that was rather a surreal moment with great narration hinting at the confusion and acceptance of the deed. Any additional comments? This would make an amazing manga movie. I would also really enjoy reading a solid sci fi novel set in this universe (rather than what I would consider a short story). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Season-of-the-Solar-Storm-Audiobook/B00KGF7V8I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The lakes residents take this as an ominous warning that a mini ice age might be a possibility because of the odd space weather occurring.

Members Reviews: The series is a fun read Really good series. Great action and different twists on traditional Zombie novels Five Stars Fun read... Apocalypse 3 Human Race 0 Suzanne Robb is not a storyteller...she is a doomsayer. The post-apocalyptic future she created in Z-Boat seems like a strong possibility - a frightening future. It reminds me of a quote that I recently read, "One day the only thing left for the poor to eat will be the rich." Society has turned into a savage struggle for survival: food shortages, brown drinking water (if any water at all) and multiple families sharing one apartment...just to mention a few highlights of daily liife. No more governments - just three major firms running the world, and the US is not one of them. As if the self-induced apocalypse wasn't bad enough, a secondary apocalypse has unfolded in the form of a worldwide zombie outbreak (which spread through the limited water supply). While the main character, Ally (sole survivor from the events of the first book), sets out on a revenge mission, she realizes a third apocalyptic wave is unleashing a new nightmare in the form of stronger, more bullet-resistant zombies. Oh, and they're smart too. Robb packs the pages with espionage, drama, brutality and character-intensive action. I can't wait for the third book! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Diary-Of-A-Kudzu-Salesman-Audiobook/B00JPNTZ7M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Southern prepper story of kudzu and preparedness Would you consider the audio edition of Diary Of A Kudzu Salesman to be better than the print version? I like them both equally. When I read a book I get my version of the story. When I listen I get a new interesting interpretation that inspires me even though I know what is going to happen next. Ron Fosters prepper fiction books translate well to audio. What did you like best about this story? The mental picture the author and narrator create of a mostly abandoned city and the zany characters making a living in it. Quite imaginative. Have you listened to any of Phil Williamss other performances before? How does this one compare? Phil Williams keeps getting better and better as he takes on new roles and accents. I think he really has a feel for Ron`s characters. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes indeed, it draws you in and keeps your attention. Learn all about Kudzu! Have you listened to any of Phil Williamss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes and he is superb! Any additional comments? I learned so much about Kudzu from this and of course much more...about survival. Another great story from Ron and a wonderful listen! Kudzu: who knew? I was attracted to this one because of Kudzu in title and being familiar with Ron Foster's writings, I knew this one would be chock full of prepper know how. However, it was the depth of history of kudzu in the southern states and the many uses of this vigorous flowering vine that added a richness of flavor to this narrated book. A realistic and informative story! What made the experience of listening to Diary Of A Kudzu Salesman the most enjoyable? The creative characters and realistic style makes this story absorbing from the start! The part about the zombie bear was hilarious and the recipes at the end were very good! Who was your favorite character and why? David was the most interesting as he was level-headed and has such ingenious ideas to make things better for everyone trying to rebuild from the disaster! He reminds me of MacGyver from tv with his creativity. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely! And I did! Any additional comments? There is a lot of talk about alcohol but putting yourself in that situation you realize how important it is not only for relaxation relief but also as an antiseptic and fuel and barter supply! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-First-Floor-Audiobook/B00JMO8H28 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I would love to see the movie for this one. Think action meets Science Fiction suspense. You've got a bunch of scientists and some military people going into a massive skyscraper. Inside they find not a bunch of offices, but a dense jungle filled with alien vegetation. As they make their way through the first floor they come up against some pretty menacing and creepy stuff. There were some great moments in this book that were exciting and chilling. It was a fun read and I pictured myself right alongside the characters as they headed out on this strange and terrifying adventure. You only get the beginning of the larger adventure in this book, but there's plenty in there to keep you listening or turning the pages. I listened to the audiobook version of this story. The narrator has a very pleasant, smooth, and deep voice. It was nice to listen to especially during the narration parts. His reading came off a bit flat for me though. Every character was voiced the same which made it a bit hard at times to distinguish between the characters. It would help to have a more dramatic reading style with more pauses and variation in the speed of the reading to bring this great story across with all of its wonderful flourishes and well constructed prose. You'll like the narrators great voice though and probably won't be as critical as someone like me who narrates audiobooks and listens to them nonstop. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes their sci-fi with a bit of intrigue, adventure, suspense, and a splash of creepy horror that will keep you wanting to read on so you can find out more about the aliens the characters must learn more about. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Covenant-of-Justice-Audiobook/B00JWSCBYE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Justice vs Revenge Justice vs Revenge is actually an important concept to me. There is a lot to this story, and clearly there is a lot of room for sequels. Rather than discussing character development (and you see a lot in many characters), or space battles (He really handles this in a much more believable way than you see in most stories) or world creation (Dupa has a number of surprises). I will not even discuss the novel way necessary coincidences are handled. That could be the basis of a new book. I find the underlying concept of justice the most important part of the story. The book is well named. Revenge is a lot easier to get, and a lot more satisfying, and in most stories that is what you get. The bad guy gets destroyed in a satisfying face to face final confrontation. You do not get that here. Instead you find someone who puts justice ahead of other considerations, and insists on justice even for the bad guys. Read the story to find out how this works, and find many odd things from the first book explained, such as the reason for the design of that odd prison... Could have been shorter, but still entertaining. I love David Gerrold's writing and sense of humor (for one thing, we seem to have similar opinions of lawyers). I hadn't known that "A Covenant of Justice" even existed until I found "Under the Eye of God" in a used book store, read it, was left dangling, immediately found "A Covenant of Justice" used on Amazon, ordered it, and have now found closure. This duology is a little more "out there" than some of his other books, but still an entertaining read. I just wish that he would finish The Chtorr series! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zombie-USA-Audiobook/B00JKOKUX4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Page-turning supernatural crime at its best The facts that I know the author personally and I live in the area in which this novel is set have nothing to do with how much I enjoyed this book. The facts that this novel is perfectly paced, disturbingly real, and horrifyingly descriptive have everything to do with it. I could draw comparisons with other stories such as those about Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Dahmer, but there's really no need to do so. This novel may have its origins in such tales, but is original in its presentation and powerful in its prose. I found the characterizations wholly believable, from the supernatural titular protagonist to his not-altogether-accepting and not-entirely-willing partner to the blood-chilling serial killer. King gives the reader just enough information about the victims to make them pitiable, without dragging down the story's pacing in the process. By the end of the book, one may well be pitying the two main characters in kind. In fact, if one isn't, I will be forced to question one's humanity. King looks deep into the questions of what it means to be human and inhuman (and inhumane) with disquieting skill. Recommended without reservation, to fans of both the "mundane" crime genre (this book may well widen your horizons) and the supernatural thriller (this one won't disappoint you). Scripture, serial killers, fallen angels and identity loss This book is a ripping good yarn, it reminds me a little of those old pulp paperback detective stories but with a lot more depth. The main character starts the book as an angel whose task (appointed by God himself no less) is to manage and arrange the deaths of everyone in the Illinios/Milwakee area. Then a death he had arranged goes wrong and he finds himself a flesh and blood human charged with murder. Doubt is cast on his identity by a defence lawyer who claims to have found evidence that he is in fact merely a severely traumatised gulf war veteran. Add to this the female cop who caught him has fallen in love with him and in fact becomes pregnant by him. The story is well paced and keeps you interested the whole way through with plenty of plot twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an absorbing read. Angel Of Death This book was terrible. I could only read the first 75 pages and then had to stop because I couldn't follow what was happening or what was going in the story. One heck of a good read! King uses biblical texts with such ease that this Angel is utterly convincing. The angel calls himself Azra when he adopts a human form to meet a detective on the "soon to be killed" list. King is a mastermind. Literally. In this book he does master your mind. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blowhard-A-Steampunk-Fairy-Tale-Audiobook/B00JDRO8J0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: YOU GOT THE JUMP ON ME This little short is short on Steam, Punk, Fairy Tale and Story. The only steam machine is a machine called wolf, which blows up tornadoes on command. As far as the Hamm brothers, you can put lipstick on a cowboy, but he is still a cowboy. I am not sure I would consider the three little pigs to be a fairy tale? THE TRUTH WAS SOMETIMES THE HARDEST THING FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE I guess Scott Westerfield is the closest I have come to a author who can write good Steampunk, but I will keep looking. The Big Bad W.O.L.F Machine Would you listen to Blowhard: A Steampunk Fairy Tale again? Why? Yes. It was a fun listen and took about an hour :) Great distraction for a rainy day! I hope the author writes more stories with Elias as he continues his adventures! I adore the world this story is set in and hope to revisit it again and again! Both new stories and old :) What was one of the most memorable moments of Blowhard: A Steampunk Fairy Tale? The Hansel and Gretel moment was totally THE BEST! Hehe Which character as performed by Jason Davidson was your favorite? Jason Davidson did a good job conveying all the different characters and their personalities but I have to say my favorite character was Elias. He was, by far, the most interesting character! Brave and loyal and unable to be cowed, he was an inspiration both to the reader and all the other protagonists in the book :) Any additional comments? This series does not need to be listened to (or read) in order as it consists of stories just based in the same world and not necessarily connected to each other via plot or storyline. This is the first book based in this world. I can't wait to listen to more! The Hamm brother are trying to make a new life for themselves as pig farmers in Kansas. Far from the city, and all its distractions, getting along is more difficult than ever! Add the pressure of all living in a damp, rotting house filled with mildew, must and mice... How will they survive long enough to thrive? Deciding to build other houses seems to take a bit of pressure off. If only the sinister Otto von Rudolph wasn't pressuring them to sell their claim! Will they ever learn to get along? Where did the twister coming from in the middle of winter? How is Otto involved? Should they give up and sell? ***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult listeners (or readers) who enjoy steampunk fantasy fairytales with a dash of horror, romance (though there isn't really any real romance in this particular installment) & plenty of action and adventure :) I'll Huff and I'll Puff Katina French gives us a very creative retelling of the Three Little Pigs with a steampunk twist complete with the entertaining Hamm brothers, the evil dude, his mechanic, and of course the wolf. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Venus-of-Shadows-Audiobook/B007CNBYTE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not worth your time Reading the editorial summary, I thought that the story had a lot of promise. It did, however book failed to fulfill its potential. The Kindle version appears to have been scanned in and as a result, there are lots of distracting errors. I mean lots. Besides that, the plot remains largely undeveloped: the hyperthought is not some comic-book hero type capability but manifests itself like some LSD-induced hallucination. Doesn't reach its potential I think I wasted my time on this one. It sounded like my kind of book, but the story was sort of a mess. Having finished the book and moved on, I am left with nothing but an image of a small, but strong, person carrying a very tall Japanese, unconscious, individual over her shoulder climbing a ladder. This novel needed a lot more work to develop the story and cut down on needless details. Welcome to the future you're making for your children Great techno future. It was a fun read with enjoyable dialects. I found it necessary to suspend my disbelief a bit more than usual regarding the global environment the story is staged it, but that's a minor nit. The main character was fun, a little stupid at times but she acknowledged it and kept going. Not a big fan of how it ended, but maybe that is due to a potential sequel??? Fast-paced dystopian thriller The author created a well-conceptualized dystopian society. I was mesmerized by the cat and mouse play from the beginning. The excitement of the chase with the various characters maintains a fast pace. The narrator becomes credible though irritatingly stubborn. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Gave up I read 1/4 of the book and couldn't figure out what it was about, nor where it was going. The arrogant use of French phrases only helped to muddy the waters. May have been good if it had gotten to the end, but I couldn't bear the pain any longer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cave-of-Stars-Audiobook/B00769V5V6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "One of SF's most visionary authors." (Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine) Members Reviews: Far future with big ideas This is a novel about big science ideas. One-hundred kilometer long space habitats, people who live almost forever, and artificial intelligences. It is also about the seemly endless conflict of world views. There are the religious people who struggle to survive, and the people who are very technically advanced and not religious. There is really more to the story than this. It is a very human story with many believable three dimensional characters. Hit the word limit Zebrowski begins by introducing the reader to a far distant future culture whose government is a repressive descendant of the Catholic church set on a collision course with a technologically superior and long lived race of 'super humans'. Although some of the plot ideas are unique and fresh, the book crashes headlong through important plot elements including a love story which moves along as if the participants are on speed, and numerous mentioned but unexplored side plots that leave you looking rearward. Instead, Zebrowski chooses to explore doubts and lost faith in the leaders of the church as they are confronted by a seemingly perfect culture that ignores their doctrine. For all of this, these leaders remain bare ghosts, shallow and underdeveloped. Decades pass in the last 10 pages of the book, rushing through plot closure almost as if the number of contracted words had been reached. This book definitely left me wanting for more...or less. Five Stars Very good. Faux Realities in Conflict (warning: some spoilers) I'm going to swim against the tide of earlier reviews here. I found Zebrowski's CAVE OF STARS engaging, and I enjoyed it for some of the very reasons the reviewers below disliked it. I don't feel Zebrowski has constructed a polemic against the Catholic Church, or even against religion in general. Rather, he is exploring ways in which humanity defines, and sometimes perilously over-defines, what it calls "reality." Both cultures in this book, the primitive and the advanced, have lost themselves within fantasy constructs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Red-Serpent-The-Prophets-Secrets-Audiobook/B004MNFDCQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another great book I've read all three books in this series and am awaiting the fourth book which will be released in May. This meets all my requirement in a fantasy/syfy reading. Love vampires and Delson presents them in a way which makes me unable to put the book down. I emailed him to tell him how much I love his writing and checking on the third book and he was quick to respond back. Just had another email from him about the May realease. This gives me time to read the books again that is how much I love them. have not read it yet Have read it yet read the the frist book it was great really love it wish it was free ok The author does a fine job This is part 2 of a projected 14-book far future science fiction epic. It is all about humanity fighting to return to Earth from which they were exiled by a race of humanoid vampires. In part 1, mankind, living on a giant space station in orbit, fought a major battle against the vampires, and was victorious. Also, Alexander Howe, nephew of John Howe, newly-appointed dictator of humanity, learned that he is The Falsifier, the long-prophesied savior who will defeat the vampires, once and for all. In this novel, both sides are making all-out preparations for the war that everyone knows is coming. Humanity's priority is to build an immense energy weapon on the Moon that will destroy any and all ships that the vampires can launch against them. They are also creating enough room under the Moon's surface to hold all the people, because they know that when the vampires attack, the space station, called the Regnum, will be the first target. Humanity is also building thousands of ships, and gathering an army in the millions. The vampires are not standing still, either. Their top-priority plan invloves creating thousands of genetically-modified werewolves. Meantime, Alex is learning more about his destiny as The Falsifier. He has gained the power to bring the dead back to life, which he uses more than he should. He watches disks left by his father, who died the day Alex was born; disks which tell Alex a lot more about where he actually came from. Part of the prophecy says that Alex is supposed to die three times, and be brought back to life three different ways, one of which has already happened. Alex also learns things about himself from communicating with his grandmother, in a hospital in an irreversible coma. The human attack catches the vampires off guard. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Desperate-Souls-Audiobook/B004DETFQE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Fantastic fun and a nice twist on the zombie sub-genre On the hunt for something to keep me entertained on my commute to and from work, I stumbled across Desperate Souls a novel by multi-talented Gregory Lamberson; and continues the tale of his creation, Jake Helman. From the synopsis, I wasn't expecting much more than some kind of pulpy cross-genre detective horror story but what I got was a pretty edgy, raw addition to the genre that has all the hallmarks of a film noir yet set in modern-day New York City, coupled with a zombie tale with a classic yet wonderfully different slant. I am not spoiling the book by telling you that Desperate Souls does not have at its core the Romero-esque zombies or "infected" we have come to expect of today's films and books. Instead, Lamberson returns to the roots of the zombie legends and brings the Haitian voodoo zombie/ zonbie right up to date and this tale comes complete with voodoo priests, curses and what sounds like the bizarre inclusion of zombie drug dealers. However, I can assure you, this all works very well in the world that Lamberson has created. Some of the characters seem like they could have been lifted directly from other works (corrupt cops, drug dealers, innocent civilians) but I would suggest that their inclusion adds flavour to the mix; importantly, Lamberson's creation Jake Helman is a complex protagonist that you cannot help but like. My criticism of this book is more my own fault than that of the author. Arrogantly, having read other titles that are sequels or part of a series, I felt confident that I could dive right in without having read the first of the Jake Helman stories, Personal Demons. Although Desperate Souls is a good stand-alone title, I feel that my appreciation of it would have been enhanced had I read the first in the series, the way the author had intended. Helman's escapades in the first are referred to in Desperate Souls but all this really did was pique my interest and now I must read the first out of turn. For the fiends among you, there's more than enough gruesome scenes in this book to keep you reading and for those of you seeking something a little more cerebral in your horror, I wonder if you'll spot the twist? I certainly didn't. This title is easily one of the best cross-genre efforts I have ever read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/James-Patrick-Kellys-StoryPod-30-Audiobook/B002V9Z89Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Hard SF with a conscience "Undertow," the latest novel from the amazingly creative Elizabeth Bear, packs sin, redemption, virtual reality, probability and statistics, quantum physics, and Borgesian forking paths into its 332 pages. There are floating cities, intelligent amphibians, killers who want to learn to manipulate reality, and, oh yes, instant transmission of matter, but not living matter--or is there? And did I mention the clones? Its nominal hero, Andre, is a hired assassin who kills the best friend of his girlfriend Cricket in a contract hit. She knows it's him, but nevertheless she and her male colleague, Jean, help the ambitious Andre learn to be a "god botherer"--somebody who can manipulate probability. That's easy enough to do on this planet. What's harder to do is instill some sort of conscience in Andre. The story's plot revolves around whether he will in time acquire one. The author, as is her style, uses multiple povs to develop her story. We view things at different times through the eyes of Andre, Cricket, Jean, the amphibians known as ranids or "froggies" (think "wogs"), and agents of the vicious corporation that controls the planet (think the British East India Company of the 19th century). In lesser hands, a tale like this could easily spin out of control, but fortunately Ms. Bear doesn't let this happen, and the last quarter of the book is quite astonishing. It isn't all that much of a stretch to compare some of its passages with Joseph Conrad's. A must read. Really amazing book. A little slow to start Really amazing book. A little slow to start, but it gives you the chance to get a feel for the world before it really takes off. The end was very satisfying, and the alien and human civilizations were fully realized and compelling. Cyberpunk meets alien suppression and exploitation meets assassin meets turning on a chance. While this book took a little while to get into, I definitely appreciated the build up once the plot began to unfold. Cyberpunk meets alien suppression and exploitation meets assassin meets turning on a chance. Indeed, this tale brought together several tropes and spat out something unique and highly memorable. Told mostly from Andre's point of view, and an interesting view it is, we see his impersonal approach to his job, assassinating folks. He also has a somewhat impersonal approach to his love life with Cricket. But then things change, and get weird, and very cool. The Charter Trade Company wants folks dead, a valuable mineral mined and off planet before anyone notices, and doesn't care who gets injured along the way. That includes a good friend of Cricket's and the Jean's lover. The Rannids are introduced bit by bit giving the reader time to get to know them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Outrageous-Fortune-Audiobook/B002V8L8KK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kirkus Reviews) "Diverting...[A] delightfully droll sense of humor." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Fantastic Thrill Ride This is a fantastic novel about an unbelievable futuristic world where dreams and reality are stirred together. This was a very fun and thrilling listen. Brilliant Satire This is a very funny book. However, I don't think Scott should be compared to Adams and Pratchett as much as he is. This is a comic novel, but Scott's style is more surreal than Adams and Pratchett's. I was occasionally reminded of Kafka by the unexpectedness of the events. I don't think that only English authors can write funny novels. Vonnegut did okay, and he was from Indianapolis. I also enjoyed the reader. The book is set in Santa Cruz, and the protaganist and his buddies are surfers. The reader did a great job of conveying the laid back attitude of the central California beach crowd. Try this book out if you're looking for a funny adventure in a bizarrely imagined, not-too-distant future. Dude...get over yourself The author tries to capture the hip vernacular of the california surfer "dudes", who are the main characters of the story. The hero, unfortunately, seems clueless throughout the story, and the number of hip futuristic concepts thrown at the reader are seemingly purposeless and without real meaning (armed Limpit encyclopedia salesman dropping from choppers). The end of the book starts to shove plotlines towards a conclusion in a really haphazard manner, and I found myself quickly losing interest. I still haven't finished the book, and I don't know if I'll be able to. I've only dropped reading three books so far in my life - this one, and "Merrick" & "Violin" by Anne Rice. Different reasons, but ultimately they just didn't hold my interest. I wasted my time so you don't have too Tries to be Pratchett-ish, Adams-ish but doesn't have the narrative wit. F-bombing does not humor make. Not bad I liked it! It was a very good listen. The plot keeps you wondering what is going on and why? The characters are well developed. I do recommend this book. One word of caution. The F-bomb is dropped several times through out the story.. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Der-Lange-Kosmos-Die-Lange-Erde-5-Audiobook/B0777JHL7G Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Der Lange Kosmos (Die Lange Erde 5) Autor:: Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter Erzähler: Volker Niederfahrenhorst Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 14 hrs and 29 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11-13-17 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Das Ende der Langen Erde. 2070-71: Fast sechs Jahrzehnte nach der Entdeckung des Wechslers, der erstmals das Pendeln zwischen Parallelwelten ermöglichte, floriert auf der Langen Erde eine neue posthumane Gesellschaft.

What I found jarring though, was that the story is told from the point of view of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man, but the voice is that of an eight to eleven-year-old boy. Because of the constant action, I suspect the perfect reader for this book is a grade school or junior high boy. The book opens with a scene I would have considered to be wildly improbable if I hadn't been on enough autism forums to find out there are bullies out there who act exactly as the characters in this book behaved. And when a character came down with a disease that is fairly easily managed, I was surprised to see it talked about as if it were fatal. Ah, but it's a variant of chronic leukemia that is lethal. Okay. I found the logistics of the premise improbable (the cost of tracking down and managing seven billion people on this planet far outstrip the ability of anybody or any country or any coalition to accomplish) but I've seen far wilder premises that were easily accepted. The premise did make sense for a first-world country with wide-spread medical capacity (and it's possible that is all the author intended for the story to be about.) So I had niggles here and there that made this a three star for me. But I also need to say this about the book. The best thing about this book was that this reader honestly had no idea what was going to happen next. After decades of reading science fiction, I've grown a bit jaded about obvious plot points, so that was refreshing. I'm looking forward to following the career of this writer and have already purchased another book by her. A clean, fairly mellow dystopian thriller This book is pretty good at being exactly what it advertises itself to be: A clean, fairly mellow dystopian thriller. If you are looking for a "Christian" novel, move on - nothing to see here. God is not mentioned in Implant. At best, this book teaches us that compassion and freedom are supremely important, and that the former is necessary in order to preserve the latter. After I had read it, I felt like I had watched a really good secular movie. (O thou creature of vanishing rarity!) But it didn't inspire me to glorify God, or make me think on the things of Christ. The lack of a âChristianâ message is not why I gave the book three stars instead of four. I wasn't expecting one, and wouldn't require the book to be something I already knew it wasn't. Implant is a two-way time travel story, and in such stories, some logical issues are unavoidable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Easy-Jobs-Audiobook/B0761WNRR2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I am looking forward to reading more from this author and seeing where Burn and Karma end up. Awesome read Definitely enjoyed the story. Looking forward to learning more about the history of Karma and Burn Four Stars Great read! Interesting read Would recommend to a friend. Interesting read. Kept me wanting to turn the page. Looking f oreward to the follow up. Don't get fast food with Karma and Burn... Actually, it's best to not have to get involved with anything that Karma and Burn are involved in and steer clear from them if you can. Unless you like trouble, then by all means, go for it. This was a fun read with a lot of hilariously twisted moments tucked into dark plot lines. Lots of fast-paced action and interesting characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Free-Will-Odyssey-Audiobook/B0764MQ21S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Suffering from it is one reason I want to make a better life for all the people in the northern lands.â New Mexico author Larry Kilham received a B.S. in engineering from the University of Colorado, an M.S. in management from MIT, worked large international companies and founded three high-tech companies and gained three patents to his credit involving innovative use of computers and researching artificial intelligence. He has published eight books about creativity and invention, artificial intelligence and digital media, travel overseas, and three novels with an AI theme. He is also a corporate consultant, a member of the American Chemical Society, and is keenly interested in automation, ecology, global resources and the science of complexity. Larryâs impressive credentials make him not only an important voice in ruminating about the pluses and minuses of the digital era in which we find ourselves, but he accompanies his observations with sensitivity, making him a pleasure to read as well as a guru on the state of digital advances in modern day life. In this novel he tackles social problems that are becoming too wide spread. He sets the tone of this novel in the opening lines â âWe gathered together on a cold fall day. I scattered Donnaâs ashes under her favorite shade tree on our farm. My sister had spent hours there in the company of her little dog reading, dozing, and listening to music. On this day, a dozen family and friends stood around sharing memories. Everyone agreed that her future was unlimited, but her life had ended so tragically. All I could think of was the great times we had together. We played all kinds of games. We caught frogs in the pond. Donna played left field for our neighborhood softball team. And she bucked me up whenever I felt down. But Donna, like so many of our friends, had slid into drug addiction. It had started with Opa, the free drug issued by the government to make everyone feel better and, I think, to make everyone think less and accept more. Then she began to explore illegal drugs, eventually succumbing to an overdose of some homemade killer concoction. Her final words were, âDear brother, youâre so creative! Donât stop until you kill this monster.â Ever since, I have read everything I could find in an effort to find a solution to the problem that took my sister from me. Short of vaporizing all drug supplies worldwide in an instant, I considered the possibility that free will could provide the answer. Studies showed that energizing free will could unlock the mind from the pleasure traps of excess eating, drug addiction, and other health problems. With this promising insight, I would not stop until I found a way to restore peopleâs faith in free will. Maybe I had found the key to unleash what seemed to be forever in the arms of fate.â He then begins the drama that floods the pages of this book: âI was fixated on developing my invention I called âElectra,â a Greek word meaning shining or incandescent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cowl-Audiobook/B074ZM8351 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Heliothane Dominion is triumphant in the solar system after a bitter war with their Umbrathane progenitors. But some of the enemy have escaped into the past, intent on wreaking havoc across time. The worst of these is Cowl, an artificially forced advance in human evolution but one who is no longer human. Polly, desperate to obtain funds to support her habits, is unprepared for her involvement with Nandru Jurgens, a Taskforce soldier, and the killers pursuing him. Nor can she resist the alien 'tor' which she feels impelled to attach to her arm. But she must learn fast, as she is dragged back through time, not least that to the denizens of some earlier eras, she is little more than a convenience food. Initially the fragment of tor imbedded in Tack's wrist sums up his value to the Heliothane - a point brought home to him with bloody abruptness. But as a vat-grown programmable killer employed by U-gov, he is no stranger to violence. His long journey into the lethal world of the Heliothane is only beginning, the extent of his mission just becoming apparent. Meanwhile, hunting throughout time and the alternates, Cowl's pet, the tor beast, grows vast and dangerous. And the beast continues to feed. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Neal Asher) Thu, 16 Nov 2017 15:58:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cowl-Audiobook/B074ZM8351 thebookvoice.com 14:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cowl is an amazing piece of fiction Cowl is an amazing piece of fiction, one of my favorite books. I strongly disagree with reviewers that say that it is hard to follow. That wasn't my experience at all (try reading Lions of Al Rassan, now *that* is hard to follow). The characters, dialog and world building are excellent. The pacing is great with no lulls and keeps the plot moving along. While not being hard sci-fi, there's some really interesting ideas and it has a very satisfying ending. Normally, I don't like time travel that moves into the past (I prefer forward); but, Asher keeps it very compelling by throwing in some historical information (a little reminiscent of Bill Bryson). Time sideways as well as for/backwards Asher goes all out in this time travel novel, not being satisfied with going back or forwards in time but going into alternate time pathways as well. He creates mega-villians but his protagonist(s) are themselves flawed people and we watch as greater threats knock them off their fates and into new opportunities, with the "godd guys" not always acting so good. The tale Asher tells is labyrinthian and it takes an effort to track who is doing what to whom but it moves along and keeps you interested, with nuggets about earth's long term history sprinkled throughout. 5 Stars? YES! I have never liked time travel stories... makes my head spin... but Mr. Asher's take on it was a twisty joyride! Yes, after reading the Gridlinked & Spatterjay series, it is hard to dive into a totally new arena with Cowl (you miss the Polity Universe and AIs), but this story is not a disappointment and stands on its own merits. After reading everything Neal Asher has written except Cowl, I desperately searched for other sci fi series... trust me, after reading a couple other books and returning to Asher, it feels like coming home to great writing. It was such a relief, I no longer cared it was time travel, just got engrossed in the engaging and compelling Cowl! Action-Packed Epic Time Travel Adventure This is an epic time travel adventure that really appealed to me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Betrayed-Audiobook/B0747TRT3N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you like Ancient Aliens and that type of stuff this is right up your alley. Great story and the characters are well developed. Good job! Waiting for book two. The Beginning of Greatness A saga where Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings meets Planet of the Apes. All I want to do is finish this review so I can go buy the next book. This epic will someday be a film worth seeing!! I read his other books and I enjoyed them, too Steve Lang has done it again. I read his other books and I enjoyed them, too. In the Company of Wolves is an imaginative look at how mankind may face the unknown should we need to abandon Earth. Steve Lang weaves a futuristic story with historical references. ...

Members Reviews: Brilliant Debut A fantastic sci-fi tale of forgotten freedom in the not too distant future on Mars. Corruption politics, power, and greed must be brought to justice in order for the working class to survive. The lies and deceit are difficult for the two main characters to maneuver through, which makes trying to figure out who the good guys are a very difficult task. Always fun when a believable love triangle is thrown in, even though this is far from a romance novel. Definitely more action and violence than soft moments here. Be warned that there is a horrible cliff hanger at the end that will leave you pounding on Kyle Perkins's door, begging for the sequeal! A Diamond in the Not-So-Rough I'm wary of self-published efforts on Amazon these days. I'm more than a little bit of a snob, and the sight of a misspelled word or a shakily written phrase has always been enough to send me running, my wallet clenched firmly in one white-knuckled hand. It's a conceit, but we've all got a few of those; as such, I've never felt particularly badly about it. There are worse character flaws than to demand flawless writing from everybody who's ever put pen to paper, right? I mean, I've definitely made a few such mistakes (all the time) in my own writing, but it's okay when *I* do it. This book is the debut work of an author who only recently discovered a love of writing. For being without the backing of a life-long interest, as such, it's more than impressive: it's simply amazing. It isn't perfectly written. It's not devoid of writing errors. It's clear that it was written without the use of an expensive professional editing service. Setting all of that aside, it is a compelling and beautifully composed story, with exciting events and interesting characters. There is depth and breadth of scope to be had here, which impressed me. I didn't expect to be impressed. I didn't expect to feel embarrassed about my conceits, or to find myself changing a life-long tune of my own as a result. This author has since gone on to write, and to co-write, several other books in rapid succession. In spite of this prolific rate, his work continues to compel and enthrall, revealing a rich understanding of human nature and an excellent grasp of realistic and evocative detail. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/De-Oppresso-Liber-Hayden-War-6-Audiobook/B072MJMJ7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Recommended for younger audience I enjoyed this story, especially the first part, on Nivea's ship. However, the second part seemed rather simplistic and two dimensional. Perhaps it would not have seemed so had I read it rather than listened to it. The narrator, although very pleasant to listen to, seemed to me to be reading to a group of children. I would have been thrilled and on the edge of my seat in fourth grade. Overall a very pleasant experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Our-Living-Funeral-Audiobook/B071L64FVJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Find your nesting place and read this novella. Robert has created a solid Science Fiction story. This piece is well written and has developed characters, not the standard 2 dimensional types with one or two trope characteristics, to accompany a solid plot ( I don't want to give spoilers because I believe people should read and discover the story for themseleves). Overall, I recommend this piece. It is well worth your time. Another stunning tale by Robert S. Wilson This wasn't quite what I was expecting, as I'm used to his horror, but this piece of science fiction was stellar.

Beam Piper's Paratime Series. With a short novella, 99 pages, you don't get the level of involvement that you would get with a novel, but, surprisingly, with Piper's Paratime stories, all short stories or similar length novellas, you actually get a great deal of action, adventure, and a glimpse into a parallel reality. With Piper's Paratime series I feel that this should have been a longer, more involved and more developed series of stories, perhaps even a series of novels. Then again, this was a story written for the media of the time, primarily periodicals, and many stories were serialized over several issues. As with so much of his other work, Piper's Paratime stories are crammed with action, plot twists, and thoughtful observations on politics, religion, social mores...etc. Piper was creative, inventive, willing to explore the impact of religion on politics, science on society, and so on. Yet he always seemed to deliver the sort of action packed adventure that so many have come to identify with science fiction. Piper's work, most of it from almost 60 years ago, holds up amazingly well. His views on socialism and fascism are certainly tinged with a 1950's view of the Red Peril of his day, yet, he never seems to lose sight of plot, characters, and above all; action. In spite of the political and social commentary woven into many of his tales, Piper never seems to lose the tempo of the action or the track of the plot. He never goes off on a tangent, and he never wastes words. I just wish he had written more. For free on Kindle. Every one of Piper's works is worth reading. Very good read, wish there were more. I enjoyed the whole Time Crime series, of which only the last had that title. The others, the loosely attached He Walked Around the Horses; Genesis; Police Operation; Last Enemy; Temple Trouble; and finally, this volume: Time Crime Each was better then the one before it, and I really wish there were several more. . Expanded version of a classic This is an expanded version of Beam Piper's original. The first two thirds are Beam Piper's original story. This part of the book I give five stars. The last third has been written after Beam Piper' death by Carr. I rate it between one and two stars. Excellent combo story This is an excellent combination of two H. Beam Piper original stories into a Gestalt with Carr's own work bridging and extending the two themes into a coherent even better novella is a great example of how to do this kind of work. Highly recommended to all fans of Piper or even those who just love classic 1960's sci-fi at its best. Time Crime A very fine continuation and enhancement to Piper's work and a great lead in to Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen.

One star, not for the book but for the deceptive labeling This kindle book is NOT "A Journey to Mars" by Gustavus W. Pope. It's actually "A Columbus of Space" by Garrett P. Serviss. It may be a great book, for all I know; I haven't read it yet. But I do not appreciate being duped. This had the potential to still be a five star today but the overall plot seems rather weak. Columbus of Space by Garrett P. Serviss This is an interesting piece that seems to have been written before Edgar Rice Burroughs and Otis Adebert Kline wrote their famous Venus series. This is a trip to Venus on a craft that can travel a tremendous speed and is powered by something that sounds possibly nuclear. Another interesting thing, since this is written after H. Rider Haggard's She, is that the main female character is described as having a presence that reminds me of Ayesha from She. And though she is not quite as dangerous as Ayesha, Edmunds fixation on Ala and the wonders of Venus might lead the expedition into danger. Edmund has come up with a process that taps what he calls inter-atomic energy and he applies it to a special car shaped like a boiler, that he has created to take him into space. In a fit of anger at their remarks about his work he takes his friends with him without their consent. It takes about two weeks to get to Venus and there's some neat calculations behind it all though the ship itself has some potential design flaws. Because of the peculiar rotational aspects of Venus Edmund chooses to land on the darker side where he figures there should be no one living, since it would be too cold. But they find a race of somewhat intelligent ape like hominids whom Edmund is able to communicate with through Telepathy. Because of dense atmosphere speech on the planet is amplified and though the beings do speak, they only do so on rare occasions. Learning about these creatures or people, creates some tension; but the real adventure comes when they traverse to the warmer sunny side of Venus. On the warmer side there are more human-like hominids who also communicate through telepathy much the same as the apelike beings, though Edmund theorizes these people have tapped some other aspects of the difference in atmospheric pressure and possibly have a strange sensitivity to color and sound that is pretty interesting. Eventually he creates a device that helps them hear as the Venusian's do and they explore the wonderful strange way the Venusian's commune with nature. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Za-wszelka-cene-Hayden-War-5-Audiobook/B06XSK481M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: New Installment in an excellent horror/thriller series Review of THE BLOOD LIES (IN THE BLOOD BOOK 2) by Lee Isserow An aspect of this series which I so enjoy is the lack of need for suspension of disbelief. The series is near-futuristic, and relies on science in terms of medical conditions and forensics. Some of the characters are skeptics, and some started out that way and came around to a different way of thinking, and those processes, and the disparate viewpoints of the characters, allow the reader to slip into the story and really enjoy it, no matter her or his initial take on the topic. Another intriguing aspect is that each installment is so well-written, and I get caught up in the story immediately. The protagonist, Ben, is a character who readily elicits empathy: an adult with a tragic past, who has spent three decades wanting vengeance, only to discover that he was quite possibly focused in the wrong direction. But then, how could he have known? Now that he does know (he thinks), he jumps in headfirst and participates in the strange activities of THE BLOOD SQUAD, an organisation responsible and answerable toâwhom? Ben doesn't know. Nor does he know why these âhemogoblinsâ as they're called first came into existence. All he knows is that they are fatally dangerousâbut that's not all the dangers he encounters. Once again, author Lee Isserow delivers a serious cliffhanger which makes readers demand, âWhat next?â So thankful this series releases a new installment a month. {smile} The author generously provided an advanced digital copy, for review purpose, at no cost. This review is my fair and impartial opinion of this title. Good bloody read Ben is now a prisoner of the blood driven what the blood squad calls them. After week's go by he's so confused as who is the real bad Guy's and who is to be trusted. After he learned from the group that has him as a hostage. He made big mistake beforehand now he has to chose a side. Well he make the Right choice? Big Cliffhanger at the end. Get to meet new characters some likeable and some not. Still no where close to finding out anything about the blood but little bits and pieces here and there. When Ben and the other's in the dark about we are also. The Authorââ giving me copy for any honest review. Book Review Note- This is the same review as posted on Goodreads. This story continues as another unique twist with a horror/fantasy story. This is book two. There are new characters introduced. One of my favorites is the boy Luke. This is a story where the truths come out. Through these truths we see a further development with the character Ben. Try this book! I would recommend reading the first one first. To say Lee Isserow has become the King of Cliffhangers ... To say Lee Isserow has become the King of Cliffhangers is an understatement. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Satellite-Audiobook/B06XXMDP89 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Discussions I recieved an avanced readers copy for the purpose of reviewing. That said, this 'textspeak' that the book is written in is, I hope, just because of the unfinished status. Most ARC's are not totally edited, and there is always a disclaimer about this on the cover. But when the book comes out I'll be checking for that textspeak because it is obnoxious. Onto the actual book! This is told from the perspective of Leo, one of three teens born on a space station, in the not so distant future where 'the company' has taken over NASA and all other space programs. Leo's character growth is phenomenal, and watching him go from an intelligent, if naive, teen to a conspiracy cracker, was beautiful. His story was one of 'what it means to be human', which brings up wonderful discussion points. The other teens were a bit bland, and never really had growth despite going through the same struggles, although some of the side characters were well written. The plot was certainly intriguing-2 astronauts give birth in space (and before you say they would've sent those astronauts home, know that there's a reason for this) and those kids grow up in space, and are deemed strong enough to return to earth on their 16th birthdays. The consequences of them returning are well explored. They have almost no bone denisty to speak of, so they're very fragile, and the kids never realized how blue the sky really is down here. The effects of gravity are well noted, as is the taste of bacon. Everything you'd never think about living in space, most things we take for granted down here, Lake notes in fascinating detail. Some of the plot devices were a bit lazy for me; things just worked out too perfectly because of happenstance. The ending was a bit too well wrapped up and juvenile, but I won't spoil it for anybody else. On the whole, this book felt like an excuse to explore the consequences of human fascination with space travel-I mean, how often do those sci fi's mention that gravity is constantly pulling us down? And how much of a drag it is? The way certain sayings are taken for granted here, but to somebody who's only ever known space, they wouldn't understand. The discussion points this book provides are fantastic, and my husband and I discussed them for hours on end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Messiah-Node-Audiobook/B06X1GGGT7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love this series, book I can't deny it: I love these characters too much. The plot is too much fun, the characters are too much fun, and the world, now better realized since book two, is finally something I understand the rules of. The plot loses itself as it approaches the end- it is a bit of a disappointment, and the action gets a bit hazy and confusing. We don't get enough screen time either- there's four main first person viewpoints, and between them, it feels like things are moving very slowly. They spend most of the book apart and with their own problems, so there's this large gap of time between developments where you're just waiting to learn what happened. It itsn't too bad though- I was never slagging through chapters. Except, of course, with Rebekah. SIGH. How could this happen? How did a minor character get to have a viewpoint- and be so god damn boring? I don't care about her in the slightest! I used her chapters as stopping points, confident I'd read a good chunk by the time I hit her. I guess she had... PTSD? and... was gay? And that was great and all, but wow, I do not care about her. Her story doesn't even matter much compared to the others- by the time it does, she has crossed paths with Mouse anyways. We really didn't need her side of the story. Speaking of Mouse: My husband. My love. The light of my life. His viewpoint is my world, honestly? Same with Page, his genderless AI clone. I love both of them. Michael is not a great viewpoint, and I don't feel like I gained much from hearing his perspective- but at least his story was interesting and told us what we needed to know (set up for the next book, mostly). There was a desperate amount of NOT Morningstar+Emmaline in this book, by the way. I just want to chill with satan and his girlfriend, is that really too much to ask? CHARACTERS: All powerful 35-year old unlucky computer hacker, my husband Genderless polite muslim AI clone of said hacker Satan with a bad hairstyle Satan's girlfriend, a cyborg former-vatican police officer turned anti-christ with an evil AI living in her robo skeleton Michael the insane homeless Archangel who just wants the best for his bastard daughter Zionist lesbian criminal with PTSD How can you not have fun, honestly? SETTING: Mostly Paris. Basically only Paris. OVERALL: I had too much of a good time, even if the ending took a turn for the less-than-good. Looking forward to the next book! I don't get how many people are calling this too silly- it is a bit ridiculous, but god, it's book three. Shouldn't you be used to it by now? SIDENOTE: As someone who knows very little about religion, I got this weird feeling of... learning something... from this book. A lot of the narrative is conveyed through news articles at the end of each chapter, and I went in very confused (I really know nothing) and left still confused with a surprising host of knowledge. O...Kay? Five Stars LOVE LYDA'S WORK Wondeful world building but too much religion and shallow characters The third installament in the Archangel Protocol. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Edens-Serum-Audiobook/B06W53G35Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fast paced, sinister story This is an enjoyably, fast paced, sinister Sci-fi story whose premise would make a good TV series or movie. It is set in the near future, with monitoring of all personal data and assets via a disc created by our protagonist, Adam, an exclusive serum that gives immortality to those who can pay, and a series of murders that might connect the two. Scott Cummings does an excellent job of narrating the audiobook. He gives the characters individual voices and brings the story to life by imparting emotion and tension in all the right places. Even though the science is dubious, it is not so out there that it ruins the story, the conspiracies and the twists in the plot keep your attention and the inclusion of romance is a nice touch that also helps Adam reexamine his life's goals. This is a story of greed, corruption, murder, self discovery and romance that kept me entertained from start to finish. I received the audiobook at no cost and under no obligation to review. Immortality is Deadly If you could sum up Eden's Serum in three words, what would they be? Exhilarating thrill ride. Which character as performed by Scott Cummings was your favorite? Adam. Any additional comments? Edens Serum by Angelique Anderson is an amazing titillating adventure from start to finish. From the very first page, you are submersed into the world of Adam and at a maddening pace. Adam is a wealthy executive who has everythingeverything but immortality. Now, even that can be bought. But at what price? He soon finds out that the serum is more than what he originally believed, as are some of the consequences associated with it. This is a wonderfully innovative light sci-fi novel. The plot is rich with some pleasing surprises. I DO love great twists and turns in a plot. Scott Cummings narration was fantastic and truly brought the characters and emotions to life. Edens Serum is a great novel containing a bit of everything! I am definitely looking forward to the next book and more from this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Two-Moons-of-Sera-Audiobook/B01N6QVZJV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What can I say? I loved it. The story kept hold of me from start to finish. The voice of the narrator was lovely, smooth, and wonderfully comforting to listen to, Thank you Karen If your looking at this book, don't look... buy it! I doubt you will regret it. I was given this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review, thank you so much P.k. I cant wait for the next book, please let there be another... (goes back and listens to it again..) Serafay's wondrous This was delightfully unexpected I've never read anything by P.K. Tyler. But after this I'll definitely be waiting for more. I hope there is more, that this is a series. The narration is excellent she has a beautiful voice that makes the story come alive. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audio book at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. This did not impact my review in any way. AWESOME! I enjoyed meeting Serafay and Tor. I enjoyed the journey the author takes you on with words by getting to know these two characters and the bond they form. The journey they both go on with you the reader as the witness. A very well written book that leaves you thinking and wanting more of this new world with all these different characters. I love, love, loved book 1. The narrator was a perfect addition by giving each character in the book their own unique voice bringing them to life. "I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher." Interesting Any additional comments? This audiobook was given to me for a honest unbiased review. This was very interesting. The character and world building is fantastic. This is a young adult fantasy. Although there are some adult concepts dealing with society, races cultures love hate sort of thing. Loved the book. Unparalleled beauty Two Moons of Sera is without doubt the most beautiful book I've ever listened to. It lifted my spirits and I felt like I was soaring high enough to touch my very own ruby moon. PK Tyler has constructed a world of vivid imagination, and the different people that inhabit this world are glorious. On the surface, this is a love story between two people from different worlds. In fact, what PK Tyler has done is remind us about the futility of war and the damage that racism and sectarianism inflicts on us all. We are shown that every race and religion has its faults and its strengths, and how better we would be if we had the intelligence and fortitude to live and let live. The narration by Karen Rose Richter takes the words and turns them into a melodic and lyrical song. The voices she assigns to the different characters are incredible and provide an elaborate aural description that is perfection. Ms Richter's tones are the definition of fantasy and lifted the book from superb to unparalleled brilliance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/World-and-Steel-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01N6BRWVT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Trilogy! Gumnil"s Deception is a great ending to the Tol Chronicles. A lot of the questions that arose in the first two books, and the beginning of this one get answered, but not in the way you would think. Great writing, great character developments and a really cool story. I highly recommend this book and the first two in the series to everyone who likes science fiction.. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Right-of-Choice-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01MSU2PT6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The frightening premise of single minded robots whose only purpose is killing humans and cannot be reasoned with is truly terrifying. Add in the fact that they are infiltrating you in nefarious ways and you have the frightening prospect of the future of warfare. Also, this short has a fresh perspective on a dystopian future world, and it's brutally grim. Extremely well done. Highly recommended. Classic Philip K Dick The story is a bit dated but it is only because subsequent authors have copied Dick's great ideas. This was enjoyable and a quick read. 5 stars Quick, easy, fun read basis for movie "screamers" Dick was amazingly creative despite his narcotic fog. This short story is typical of his work, well-rendered as the movie "screamers". Note his building suspense once humanoid swords began to appear. Note the irony of robots killing other robots. Note the fatalism behind humans failing to stop the evolution of these monstrous machines. A.I. and robotics at their worst in a pre-Terminator universe. classic As usual, another fine tale of identity doubts and paranoia by Phillip Dick. This story would make a great "twilight zone" episode as it is set up structurally to work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Recombined-Audiobook/B01M2TUTEV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another wonderful book Another wonderful performance from a narrator and another wonderful book from the author. Hand-in-hand these two make one amazing combination. Captivating, intriguing, and all around amazing. Good but the series should be read in order I chose to listen to this audiobook after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Recombined is the third book in the Irrevocable series. It starts where Retained left off. After things have gone crazy in the world and it seems like theyre entering a new Ice Age, Bailey and Caleb have returned to the Ranch. They become active members of the community and they all have to band together to fight a neighboring town, Pouty, who have taken animals and people including Baileys brothers. Recombined has more action and surprises than the first two book combined. The characters are realistic and some of their decisions would be questioned in our world but these people have to be able to survive and keep their community safe. Sarah Jacobey is a good storyteller and this was a quick and easy read (or listen). The one thing throughout the series that bothered me was the use of the girl in place of Baileys name or the pronoun she. It made the story seem impersonal. The narrator, Sarah Rogers, did a good job enunciating and made it easy to listen to Recombined. She narrated the whole series and that continuity is nice. I recommend the Irrevocable series for anyone who likes young adult post-apocalyptic stories but I wouldnt recommend reading Recombined without reading the first two books first. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Planet-Genocide-I-Audiobook/B01M9AW9J0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not bad but it leaves no hope This book leaves no for anyone in the book.Their isn't but one short lived victory in 3 book I do not see the people of earth winning at any cost More Like Slaughter House Earth! I believe this is a continuation of the âWhen Galaxies Collideâ series, but the author doesnât seem to title his books that way. On the cover, thereâs no mention of the series name, but the story is a continuation from the first two books, âThe Last Marine in the Galaxyâ and âThe Red Leopards of Zaxon Bâ. The previous books dealt with the 100 year war going on between the Trevakians and the Morgans. The Trevakians are human-like aliens that have a huge galactic empire which has been devastated by the war with the Morgans. The Morgans are a lizard-like race of aliens who relish in the act of war. They have no concept of mercy and do not take prisoners. The Morgans also consume their victims once they initially find them palatable. The Morgans have far superior weapons, armor, and fighters than do the Trevakians. A Trevakians contingent, led by Admiral Karladen came to Earth to seek help in their 100-year war. They had no idea that Earth was basically a defenseless planet with warfighting between Earth nations only taking place on irregular basis. At the time the Trevakian Admiral landed on Earth, there were no large scale wars going on and most of the planet was pretty peaceful. Then the Morgans showed up having followed Admiral Karladenâs small fleet. They also brought two massive warships which quickly defeated the smaller Trevakian space vessels orbiting Earth. Now, the Morgans are free to land assault troops any where on Earth. And, unknown to humans, the Morgans have known about this planet for centuries. They were even hiding on the planet in the most unsuspecting places just waiting for the order to awake and begin a devastating attack against the human population. That signal has just arrived! This books is pretty brutal, in that, the Morgans are ruthless killers. They kill with both projectile and energy weapons and have no hesitation in using poison gas which eats anything it touches. But, the Morgan soldiers prefer to use long, razor-sharp swords when attacking humans. They enjoy hacking off limbs while the victim is still alive. The book could have been a lot more gruesome, but it gets the point across without doing so. Humans are not prepared for the type of surprise attack the Morgans spring. Itâs total surprise against unarmed and defenseless humans without end. If this book is still part of a series, which I believe it is, then itâs a very good thing the author has more to tell. This book would not be a very good ending to anything. It is one disaster after another for the humans all over the Earth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Omni-Audiobook/B01LYZWOV6 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> Titel: Omni Autor:: Andreas Brandhorst Erzähler: Richard Barenberg Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 16 hrs and 7 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 10-04-16 Herausgeber: HörbucHHamburg HHV GmbH Kategorien: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Der abtrünnige Agent Forrester erhält den Auftrag, Aurelius ausfindig zu machen, einen zehntausendjährigen Menschen.

It sounded interesting and the average rating on Goodreads was good... I just realized later that it only has one rating. It took me great effort to get through this book and the fact of trying to finish it was more like a chore than anything. The premises were incredibly interesting, but Miller failed at executing it. I would categorize the book more as a technothriller than just sci-fi. There is zero character development, which I consider necessary even if we are dealing with a thriller. There were a lot of technical details mostly about physics, which I normally enjoy, but here it just read like a non-fiction book, with none of the appealing of a novel. I couldn't connect to any of the characters nor simply recognize them. I didn't care for them or for any of the events in the book, which really upset me. I did finish the book, out of curiosity and respect, but I can firmly say that nothing of it has stayed with me. George Taylor's narration was okay. His character's interpretations and voices sounded great, although some of the FX for a couple of voices were a bit too much. The narration parts, especially at the beginning of the book were really monotone, but I blame this more on how the book is written: with very long sentences that seem to go nowhere. There was something that I especially disliked: Taylor's introduced music at the beginning and end of all chapters, overlapping the narration, which I found terribly distracting and unnecessary. Sadly I just can't recommend this book, unless you enjoy technothrillers and you don't mind having very flat characters. Audiobook was purchased for review by ABR.

Discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same...however, enlightenment in our now will positively shape the future...regardless of time and Galaxy, war is hell. Sergeant Major Lance Harris represents the wisdom, strength, humanity, and candor of all who serve with authenticity and courage to do what is truly right in that moment....pause your countdown clock for whatever pressing task is next on your docket to make the time to spend with Harris...live his experience for a while and take some of his character back to life in your own life. This story is well written, developed, and paced...Go there! Caught me completely and very pleasantly off guard As an avid fan of this type of Sci-Fi adventure I can't say enough how much I enjoyed this book. This was a huge departure from Mr. Brink's previous works in the military adventure genre and it caught me completely and very pleasantly off guard. His well thought out depiction and description of both what future humans will be like as well as an alien race interacting with said humans was compelling, interesting and completely believable. This book held my attention all the way through and has me looking very forward to any sequels that I'm hopeful will appear in this series. Great Science Fiction story of a more evolved human kind It's a great story of a more evolved human kind. If you like Science Fiction this book would make it. It has action, and moral issues that exist in our current society. I love the main character, so mystic, He is the modern hero, which humanity wish for. The creativity used to describe the new life of human beings and the technology is just awesome. I highly recommend this book, I loved it! Interesting story line that held my interest. Interested to ... Interesting story line that held my interest. Interested to see where he takes the concept. One thing- no self respecting Sergeant major or any other non-com in any service would allow themselves to be called "Sir". The near universal response from any of them being called that epitaph would be "I work for a living, never f'ing call me sir again". Enjoyable, military sci-fi *Received for Free* A good quick military sci-fi read.

A solid finish to the Outer Eater series, but flusters with its scant characterization and lack of credibility, which seems to only serve to keep the non-stop action moving at a ceaseless forward momentum. I cared about most of the characters, but the majority of that was carryover from the previous books (the 1st, Tracer, being the best IMO). There's so much action and stop and starts within these microchapters that always end on a cliffhanger, that after a while it's difficult to care about the characters or their predicament, because they're almost always going to get out just fine. The microchapters also hinder any real chance of defining character moments, particularly towards the end, which it absolutely could have afforded to slow down. And since there's no narrative beats, the novel feels like one, run-on action scene. Which makes it ferociously readable, but needing in more substance. I overall enjoyed it, and would recommend it for anyone who's gotten this far https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Omega-Virus-Audiobook/B01KKP9K4Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A different kind of zombie tale This book is entertaining and a fun read. Some of it is hard to follow at first, but eventually you really can't pull yourself away from it. The characters are all clearly developed with no question as to who is who and what they are like. The action is good, with some pretty unexpected things happening. All in all, it's a good fun read. I highly recommend it. entertaining and suspenseful Great read. Loved the suspense throughout the book. It takes an author to have such a creative mind with great details to write about post-apocalyptic life. This book definitely had me a little paranoid... nonetheless, it was an entertaining book. I'd recommend this book to a friend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-State-Audiobook/B01JQSZOFM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narrator was amazing and did a fantastic job. The story was interesting and exciting, lots of action and twists and turns. Being an Austinite, it was really fun to read about a dystopian Austin. There was actually one time I was listening to it, and they mentioned an intersection, and I was just a couple blocks away from it. I almost looked around for the characters. Definitely worth the read or the listen! Gripping action filled story Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this book. It was compelling from the beginning and had a really good pace to it. I really enjoyed the setting, being from Texas. While I would have liked a little more depth to the characters, I wasn't at all disappointed. I found the choices that the characters were faced with very interesting and everything wrapped up pretty well for me. Overall a solid read. Fast-Paced Action, Lacking in Depth This is a fast-paced novel, with a great performance by the narrator. However, I found that the characters had murky motives. While I like the idea of two opposed warlords secretly and respecting each other's ideologies, their reasoning never convinced me. Just about every major character in this novel switches sides at the drop of a hat. They might as well be playing paintball instead of fighting for moral reasons. None of them seem to think deeply at all about why they're fighting, or why they believe what they believe. As a result, they're not compelling to read about. The whole enslavement of humanity was never explained. How does La Pax work? People make millions of choices every day. If the drones are going to wipe themselves after using a toilet, or avoid slamming into walls while they walk, then they'd need to be individually micromanaged throughout the day. I can't see how removing free will would result in functioning drones. Even if La Pax somehow works the way it's shown, I don't believe that a majority of otherwise nice people would flippantly agree that enslaving humankind is the best solution to generalized violence (especially since it didn't actually solve violence). There's a reason why slavery is currently outlawed in every nation on Earth. So this premise felt half-baked to me; not believable and not thoroughly explored. I can't respect a character who believes that slavery is great, as long as he's not the slave. There's some tight writing here, and nice dramatic irony. I love how the solution to one of our major global problems (the energy crisis) has unintended consequences that these characters are dealing with. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hell-Above-Me-Audiobook/B01JSJVACU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end." (James Douglas on Tracer) Members Reviews: Not nearly as enjoyable as Tracer I started reading Zero-G immediately after finishing Tracer. With Tracer, I could easily imagine all the action and it read like a movie playing in my head. Zero-G is more like a Monday morning at the office water cooler, and someone is telling you in excruciating detail about some random sci-fi movie they watched over the weekend. It's not bad, but it could be much better. The author would have done well to forego the alternating points of view for Zero-G and simply tell it from third person. Two-thirds of the chapters are from Riley's perspective, so character and plot development suffers. Where Tracer had just enough detail to carry the story that the reader didn't need to know the origins and back stories of the rest of Outer Earth, Zero-G pulls plots out of nowhere. Riley, seemingly always on the run, makes a poor narrator in Zero-G. She doesn't have time to get to know any of the characters she interacts with, and as a consequence, neither does the reader. One more difference I'll mention: Tracer ends with a satisfying conclusion; Zero-G stops on a cliffhanger. It's a pet peeve of mine, and I'm not sure yet if I'll bother to read the next book. Action filled, stops too soon Great flawed characters. Lots of action, the parkour descriptions are almost visual. Hard to admit that I'll have to wait for more. Five Stars Riveting! Fast and Furious... Some may remember how much I loved Tracer. So actually I was vaguely nervous about reading Zero-G because hey, you love a book then you think âhell, how can that be topped?â and you circle around the next one carefully â no need. No need at ALL. Seriously, trust the writers when they know what they are doing and Rob Boffard knows exactly what he is doing and does it bloody brilliantly, Zero-G was the most fun Iâve had with a book this year so farâ Scream if you want to go faster â and Zero-G will oblige, this IS fast, furious, terribly exciting edge of the seat stuff start to finish. But what about the characters I hear you cry? Well they are perfect and delectable, youâll eat them up and if you were not in love with Riley Hale before this you will be after it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Lucid-Episode-Two-Audiobook/B01J49KHTG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Takes a leap from today's headlines And comes up with an engaging story. Too much weight placed on short term financial concerns leads to what could be the end of civilization as we know it. It does have champions to save the day and bad guys that are mirrors of some of the decisions government and corporations are making now. This was a short book, but it keeps your interest until the end.

Members Reviews: A Worthwhile Addition To The Growing Collection Issue 20 of Galaxy's Edge continues the goodness with a solid issue featuring a story from the Pre-Game of Droning GRR Martin: Fast Friends, a 1970s-era thing of some beauty. There's an interview with him but in all honesty it's a bit lightweight and entirely miss-able. There seems to be a creeping-in of more and more horror-themed SF of late too, and this issue has a number of stories that are more horror-fantasy than what I would call SF, but I read and enjoyed all of them. Genre limitations don't bother me unless I'm sold a bait and switch. Jack McDevitt has a strong story ( Henry James, This One's For You) though I'm not seeing what I think the story is supposed to be telegraphing with its title. I'll have to re-read it more carefully is all. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. Fork Points by Sheila Finch was also a high point for me, but there aren't any "clunkers" (a personal judgement useless in any objective sense in a professional magazine). Barry Malzberg's column is extremely cogent and eschews the usual meandering style he's adopted in the past. In this one he takes Judith Merril to task for singlehandedly destroying Science Fiction. Not sure I follow his logic, but for once he makes me want to start researching the story for myself. The serial has me hooked this time. I didn't think it was going to interest me, but I was wrong. The Long Tomorrow by Leigh Bracket is a fascinating tale of a post apocalypse America, rebuilding itself to a new, more agrarian model. And because this was written before 1990 - an apocalypse without zombies! Bonus! I'm now about as sick of zombies as I have been of vampires since 1990. This is a proper SF apocalypse that makes sense, sorta. All in all, a solid issue. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Rockford-Element-Audiobook/B01HSC3L94 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good premise for a sci-fi story but poorly written I soon became frustrated with the persistent use of the same verbs at the end of almost every sentence. "...he said softly". "...she said softly". I'm also certain that I'll never forget that Steve regularly journeyed to the "detector chamber area. sadly, this is what remains in my mind once I finish this book. ): https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Watcher-of-Dead-Time-Audiobook/B01G7EZJZI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: disappointing end overall I've really enjoyed this hole series of books but deep down I feel disappointed in the ending. I really thought it was building up to something explosive. something to leave me gob smacked at what I'd just listened to. but it all ended a bit safe and a bit normal. not what I wanted but still a vary enjoyable book. A Fantastic Trilogy! This is the third and concluding book in the Relic Guild series. I absolutely LOVED it! The story is again narrated by Imogen Church. She did another fantastic job in bringing the characters to life. Her ability to voice the different accents used for the various characters impressed me. I loved her speaking voice, and her reading pace was perfect. Clara is a young woman of eighteen, who has been working as a prostitute in a brothel since the age of fourteen in the Labyrinth city called Labrys Town. I really liked her. She is stubborn and determined. She has magic in her veins, is known as a magica and is a wolf shifter. The story continues from the shocking events at the end of the second book, The Cathedral of Known Things. The Nightshade is under the control of the Genii and the members of the Relic Guild are scattered. Their only hope is to locate Goldur Bellow, a Nephilim, who first met Vam Bam and Angel during the Genii War forty years previously. Meanwhile, Sergeant Ennis, a policeman of Labrys Town, has been tasked to investigate and locate the members of the Relic Guild. However, during his investigation he finds out that things are not as they seem. As this story progressed, loose ends from the previous books were tied up, but new secrets were revealed. I found myself on another emotional rollercoaster ride as the story reached its zenith, then climaxed in an all out battle. Eblisha Spiral, the first lord of the Thaumaturgists and now leader of the Genii, is a megalomaniac in my opinion. I think that Fabian Moor and Mo Asherzad came to the same conclusion in the end, though a little too late to avoid their fate. This is a unique story; the world building and character development is extraordinary. I loved the descriptions of the scenes and characters. The story has a post apocalyptic feel to it, with a hint of steampunk, which is further enhanced by the split timelines, which are forty years apart. The characters in both the past and the present are quite interesting. This split timeline shows the reader the events in the past that led to the isolation of Labrys Town from the houses of the Aelfir, and also reveals secrets hidden by a few of the characters. This story has several twists and turns that kept me hooked. There is a bit more action (as in explosions and weapon fire) compared to the other two books but, it's the storytelling that instantly pulls you in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zoroaster-Gwiazdy-umieraja-w-milczeniu-Audiobook/B01FE3IT1Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Bricks Any additional comments? This is the 3rd book in the series. I enjoyed listening to all 3 audiobooks. A fitting ending for the story I have to say that I was certainly not expecting the ending to this series the way it happened. I guess that's a good thing, though. Nothing is worse than for a book to be so obvious that you see the ending coming a mile away. Predictable is so boring. I have enjoyed the series. The first book I was a bit miffed at how it ended, but the second book made up for it. Now for this series to end on the note that it did was just fantastic. I did take one star off though because of the fairly liberal use of foul language in the book. David Dietz's narration was wonderful. His voices for each character remained consistent throughout the series even when showing extreme emotions, which he often had to in this book. I give David's narration five stars. Overall the book is just four stars for me because of the language. Bricks David Dietz does a fine job narrating this third installment of the Halfskin series.Though there are some glitches in the audio,repeating of lines,weird sounds in the background,the sound is good.There are times I wish it would all be an even sounding audio.Yelling and my headaches don't mix and there is a LOT of yelling.We are once again in the land where if you have biotech in your body you could be turned off past the 49% ratio. There are SO many names for the different types of 'people',People,Clay,etc.The story is good.I was given this book free for an honest review. This story gets deeper than the first two This could be a stand alone but with everything in this, I would definitely recommend the first two books. The way this starts is at the end of those and there is so much information thrown at the reader and terms that are used within the first two books, that reading this alone would probably be quite confusing. This story gets deeper than the first two allowing for an even more dystopian, dark feel. Already people were becoming upset with those that had more than 49% biomites but here that frustration has turned to full out bias. Weirdly, it mirrors society today although in an almost far-fetched sci fi way, but the political under linings are definitely there. Not so much that anyone would be turned away from reading due to the mirroring of our society but it may give for some reflection. Bricks are being blamed for what is being called dream disease. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Trip-Audiobook/B01ENYU1MU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you try another book from Tim Morgan and/or the narrators? Probably not, couldn't finish it. Tim Morgan's story seemed fine, but the one of the narrators was too annoying to listen to. and the production quality is laughably bad. Would you be willing to try another book from Tim Morgan? Why or why not? Maybe... I wanted to finish "The Trip" but the ridiculous poor production made it impossible. How did the narrator detract from the book? Not sure which one, but one of the narrators kept wetting her lips or throat and making a very distracting and annoying slurpy/squishy/moist sound between lines. What character would you cut from The Trip? Don't know, didn't make it a quarter of the way through even. Any additional comments? This is the worst audiobook I have ever listen too, The story sounded fine and I decided to try it purely based on the reviews of the paperback off of amazon. But the production for the audiobook is so poorly done, I found myself laughing at it more than listening to the actual story. I only made it to chapter 8 of 40 before I gave up on it. - Issue one. Three narrators were used for this book. Each narrator voices the point of view of a different main character. Here is what I don't get... There are 2 Male leads and 1 female lead... yet they chose to have 3 Female narrators!?. sooo~ the male parts are read by woman... WHY? why not get male narrators? whats the point of having multiple narrators if your not even going to match up genders. And they dont even try to do a male voice, I kept having to tell myself "its a guy, its a guy, its a guy" For a good portion of this book I thought it was 2 female characters and one just so happen to have a manly name... I mean really, you might as well of just had one of them read the whole book. - Issue two, One of the female narrators is not edited well, half the time between lines she makes these slurpy noises like shes wetting her lips or throat and its super distracting.And another one of them, stuttered on a few words and it wasn't re-done. - Now, those first 2 issues were actually kinda forgivable and I coulda powered on past them and kept going if it wasn't for what are the biggest issues in this audiobook:EXTREMELY POOR PRODUCTION: - Chapter 5 - 13:20, The next 4 minutes of the chapter is the last 4 minutes you just listened. Its funny because it had been so seamlessly added on that I didn't catch it until I was half way through the repeat and was like... wait a minute.... - Chapter 7 - 19:39 = The director interrupts the narrator and gives her some instructions and she repeats the last 30 seconds. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Towards-Infinity-Audiobook/B01DTDOLAY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Book 2 in the Towards Infinity Could be a 4 Star with Improvement, but I wish it didn't end on a Cliffhanger. Length: Print 202 pages, Audible, not available as an audiobook. This book is targeted to Science Fiction fans, especially those who love Star Trek. What was the Amazon Rank on the date this review was published? 16,512. Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first? You probably should read Towards Infinity: First Contact, to best appreciate this book. Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures? I found more typos and what seem to be editing snafus. The author lives in Europe, so what I perceive as incorrect might be correct where he resides though. As can be seen in excerpt one, dialogue within quotes in this book often has the comma outside the closing quotation symbol. Mind you, in the excerpt, there are only a couple such cases, but in the text, it appears common to place the comma outside, but the period (or full stop) within the quotation symbol Aside from that, as noted, there seem to be more typos or misspellings than I found in the first book in the series, which indicates this book either was hurried to meet deadline, perhaps. Is this a fast, easy read or is it more of a leisure read? This is a leisurely type read. What sort of language does this writer use to amplify the points made? Plain English, with only a few cases of foul language but no f-bombs. My biggest pleasure or disappointment was? I had to struggle, at times, to wade through this, the second book in the series. What challenged me most, though, were not the typos or similar types of editing snafus. No, the writing is just not that good this time. Too often, the writer tends to think we readers donât understand the characters, so he tells us by adding qualifiers after the quotations. Also, just as did the first book, this ends with a cliffhanger. Since I already bought book three, I will read it and post a review. If I had not already purchased it, though, I would be tempted to stop right here. Yes, I am a bit curious to learn what happens next, but not veryâ EXCERPT On the surface, still incredulous, Fuller asked: "How did you get here and what have you done all these years?" "In my time only a handful of months have passed." "That would explain his appearance", remarked Saki. "From the dynamics of your appearance, I would venture to say that you were waiting for us", conjectured the captain of the Nexus. "In a certain sense", admitted Cabot laconic. "So you can reveal this mystery to us?", finished Fuller opening his arms as if he wanted to wrap them around the entire globe. "Why don't you invite me on board your magnificent ship? That way we'll be able to discuss everything in depth", proposed the legendary commander. Cassius felt a shiver go down his spine. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Checkered-Scissors-Audiobook/B01CYVPRVO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Mark this one as Incomplete What did you like best about Checkered Scissors? What did you like least? I honestly did not finish this book.The chapters I did listen to were very creative, but extraordinarily scattered and in need of editing. I am confident that this book is better than what I understood, but I couldn't. Would you ever listen to anything by Douglas Schwartz again? I would try. Which character as performed by Gary Roelofs was your favorite? Incomplete. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Can't speak to this, as it is incomplete. Any additional comments? I received this book from Audioblast free of charge in exchange for this review. I could not finish this book personally, so it is not fair for me to provide a judgment. I will say this book was very interesting, creative and unique. I found it difficult to follow, and it didn't align with my style, as it is. That said, it may work well for other folks. Mark this one as incomplete. An original journey tale Checkered Scissors by Douglas Schwartz, narrated by Gary Roelofs, is a goofy, whacky, and quite unique tale of one mans journey to recover his lost magical scissors. We meet some quite different characters along the way such as Glick who is over a thousand years old and he possesses peoples bodies. A salesman who uses scissors to craft his wonderfully creative and very popular pools. A mad scientist looking to find ways of travel between worlds so he can take over and rule them. And Max whose dreams have created much of what was brought to life in the book. Along with a host of other odd characters such as an ex-wrestler who was attacked by a shark. The book takes the reader to many different otherly worlds (no space travel) where plants digest not only insects but large animals, pool water stays put in a horizontal position even though there is gravity, and entire cities with malls float around the skies; avoiding aircraft routes for obvious reasons. We come across some longtime warring factions and so much more as the book winds its way from start to finish. If this all sounds like quite a distinct journey, you would be right. At times, I found myself having to stop and take time to digest all that was happening. If this all sounds like something that would interest you, I would recommend you listen to the book or pick up a different edition. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Reconquest-Mother-Earth-Audiobook/B01C9B7EOW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Geared to a certain audience This book takes me back to my younger days â longer ago than I'd like to admit â when cheap science-fiction novels were churned out by the barrel-full. They were called pulp fiction, and they were a fun read, but no one took them too seriously. This book is like that. You'll enjoy reading it if you don't care too much about the science, and you like your heroes very heroic and a little corny to boot. The hero is Mitch, a Navy SEAL, and he's not about to let an invasion get him down. Luckily for him, he gets a lot of breaks, sometimes too many. You have to be willing to suspend disbelief to enjoy this book. You also have to read through some "gosh darn it I'm going to take back my planet no matter" what speeches at regular intervals. On the bright side, you can't help cheering for Mitch . He has that good old American can-do spirit. You want him to win. If you're young or young at heart and optimistic you'll enjoy that. If you're a bit older or cynical you might find it too much. As science fiction goes it's very light, but if you like stories about aliens invading Earth, it might be something you enjoy. A very enjoyable read Who would think of a plot like this from Carl Alves? It's amazing how he put it together, even that Mitch, a Navy Seal was taken out in the first pages of the book, when the aliens took over earth. I love reading sci-fi but never have I read something like that before. It's still with me, even I have started to read another book. thinking of Mitch, how determent he is to re-conker the earth after it was occupied by strange aliens. Strange aliens? For sure. They came in all various of sizes and shapes, big ones and small ones, even human shapes. And one alien, Sarn who nursed him to health again, after he spent 5 years in a coma. Sarn never gave up on him that he would be coming back to live. And he did, after 5 years in coma, only to hear, that Mitch would never taken it for granted, and so would never give up of the idea to re-conker the earth from the aliens. After he got his strength back, he went out to find survivors. and he found them. Here he plotted with them the re-conker of earth. Finding military places they were not destroyed and fighter plans and bombs. With them he targeted the aliens settlements with success. But the aliens found his hideout and captured him and made him an gladiator to fight other humans, but he refuses and tells them he would fight them, the aliens. They agreed. And so he knew how to kill the aliens. For two years he survived and killed the aliens they fought with him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Incarnation-Audiobook/B01CYWON1S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book left me awestruck. It is science fiction, which I like, but it is so much more. It is a story of quiet, desperate rebellion and of a bonding of unlikely comrades. It is filled with danger, humor, despair and love--but most of all, it is a story of hope when hope has been forbidden. Devin O'Branagan has done it again. Incarnation will leave you pondering the Mysteries of the universe and there are lessons to be learned in this book. I wish it was required reading for everyone. I know I will be reading this book over and over again. Highly recommended to anyone with an open mind - and even more highly recommended to the rest. Science Fiction with an unexpected twist What can I say? I was completely taken off guard by this story; it was not what I expected when I started reading it. I was captivated by the beginning and could not put it down. I thought I was just going to read a science fiction story about rebels, romance and aliens. But what I got was so much more, it was a captivating story about love and hope. Great story. A Big Surprise in a Small Package! I have just finished reading Incarnationâagain. Because it is that kind of story. You want to read it again and again. The premise is inspired and the story so cleverly developed, it left me in awe of Devinâs talent. She speaks volumes in just a few pages. This is a bold (controversial) treatment (twist) on deeply rooted belief systems that made me THINK. Not challenge so much as offerâmore. The scope of ideas presented is reflected in the range of movement within the storyâfrom singular planet to multiverse. Emotionally, from emptiness to passion. I donât want to give away ANYTHING but the reveal is awesome! Prediction for our Future? This book is amazing considering it is only 54 pages. I found I was unable to put it down until I had read it from cover to cover. Devin O'Branagan is a very talented author who is able to captivate her audience on the first page and hold their attention until the very end. The book presents a very real possibility of life in the future if things continue to unfold as they are now..A must read for those who believe in reincarnation. Eye opening for those who don't. I like futuristic science fiction novels Incarnation was a roller coaster ride of a experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/NT-5-Audiobook/B01AVE95UK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Robocop remastered Reminded me of robocop and the Ed 209s. Good story. The narrator had weird musical breaks and it seemed that at one point the narrators voice went to a metallic tone( annoying). Hence the 3 stars. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review Man... I had a hard time with this one. The story was alright, but the author's performance was...questionable. It seemed more like the script of a badly acted action movie than anything else. Great short story. Very entertaining short story. Kept me listening through the whole book. I am definitely checking out more books by this author. I was provided an audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast dot com. Short and Fun Well done story. Good narration. This could be further expanded into a full series! A Strangely Cool and Unique Short Story NT-5: A SHORT STORY was pretty interesting. I like this style of audiobook with some sound effects. The story was very creative as well. I thought it was pretty neat and especially knowing Mark Lingane did the whole thing himself. He's the author and narrator. I'd be interested in hearing more. This was pretty action-packed for being only 39 minutes long. MARK LINGANE as the narrator was pretty good. He has a good vocal range and I liked his fast-pace. Along with Sergeant Delaney, he also did a good female character. For me it was easier to keep up with the story at the pace it was due to the style.

Members Reviews: the exciting conclusion to an original space opera Mike Luoma expands his universe into an inter galactic space opera which is a non-stop romp into never before imagined plot lines full of exciting twists with the author's unique sense of humor and drama... I am a sci fi fanatic and thoroughly enjoyed the ever expanding universe which so innocently began as a romp in Vatican Assassin. Could never have predicted where the author would take his story...even to the final moment of the book...which opens up a whole new door...for all of you who'll want more! For...more IS on the way! BTW, the author's narration is among the best in the business...with hundreds of audio books under my belt...Mike imparts awesome personalities to each of his characters... the strong female characters are refreshing and he does them well... love this new and rising author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-A-Men-Audiobook/B01AB24EXK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really liked the story but the audio portion was a real hit or miss. However, it was a fun read all things considered. Not for me This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I have no idea. What do you think your next listen will be? Probably a murder mystery or assassin's tale. How could the performance have been better? I could only listen to this book for about 20 minutes before i had to turn it off. Within that time there was multiple character and narrator changes. This made it extremely difficult to understand what was happening, who is who and why they are important because the switches came too soon in the story to get clear picture of that particular characters background and why they are being introduced at this point. What character would you cut from The A-Men? Not sure. Maybe I'm just too inpatient, but a story needs to be able to capture your attention, be able to paint a clear picture and then peak your curiosity all fairly quickly. I was so confused by the events in the first 20 minutes that I could not see any plot being built, I was no longer curious of the story trying to be told and when that happened it lost my attention. 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. A dark future, noir and urban fantasy If you could sum up The A-Men in three words, what would they be? First person view What did you like best about this story? I love how each chapter is from the main chapter characters point of view. I've seen it done with two characters throughout a book but never this many. And it works really well. Excellent. Which scene did you most enjoy? It was unique enough that I can't answer that without spoilers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Tiamatzilla-vs-the-Kaiju-Kongs-Book-2-Audiobook/B01AB1ZZNO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/650/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fight a storm to safety but also a secret enemy Would you recommend Core Punch to your friends? Why or why not? I would recommend to a friend that is looking for a low action read with great care of details. The beginning is packed full with information for us to get acclimated to the world we are in. There are changes to New Orleans, and I think it all would be a great idea to do in real life! There are lots of descriptions of the world, weather, and characters. It's not action packed, fighting type story. The characters fight the weather to do their job and solve the dead body they found. Joe fights internally with Lurch on who is possessed by their enemy. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Diane narrates with natural pauses and upturn in tones that make the characters feel true to their forms. We get voice differences for Joe, Vi, and Lurch. Vi has a slight accent and Lurch has a bit of a scratchy, screechy voice. Diane did a good job at vocalizing the characters with feelings in voices. There is a short section that is repeated toward the end of chapter 7. Any additional comments? This is a romantic scifi read. We do get moments focusing on their attraction to each other. The beginning held a lot of description of the world and the attraction of the partners. But then we get into the story as they battle against the storm to get to safety, the attraction is put on the back burner along with the dead body they found. It felt like a long journey to get through the storm for me. I know there is an "enemy" of Lurch out there, but we don't get details of who that might be or why until the very end. I did smile at the initials of the storms name, even when it was said that Joe had to be explained the meaning by Lurch. I think I would have preferred to read this story. I could take my time with the world building and the suspense in their blooming relationship. Also, my mind would wonder in scenes that felt they were drawn out to long for me, then I'd hear something important to I'd rewind to catch it. Narration lead to DNF of audio version Series Info: #1 of 2 in the An Uneasy Future duology.
