Title: The Night Shifters Author: Emily Devenport Narrator: Emily Devenport Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-12 Publisher: Emily Devenport Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: "Hazel - Promise me you won't give up on your dreams." That's the last thing Hazel remembers her mother saying. She really means to keep that promise. But she suspects shes broken it - or maybe just failed to fully realize it, because she hasnt become a doctor, or a lawyer, or a mermaid - or anything much, really. Yet, in one way, she has kept her promise - because Hazel is a Grand Champion Dreamer. When shes asleep, she dreams a dazzling universe full of heroes and monsters, princesses and goddesses, cities and temples and gardens that make the most wonderful places on Earth seem dull in comparison. During the day, she does what she has to do to pay the bills. At bedtime, she turns in, confident that she will dream, and that the sun will come up in the morning. So on the evening of her last day, she embraces the night wholeheartedly and drifts into the universe of her imagination. But when the alarm goes off, she opens her eyes to darkness. The sun hasnt come up, the world outside has become a City of Night, and the dwellers there are Night Shifters - gods and elves, daemons and djinns, dreamers and wizards. All of them have their own agendas, all of them are chasing Hazel, and as she fights to understand this world of dreams and her place in it, she cant help remembering what her mother said. And she wonders. All those years ago, when she swore to never give up on her dreams, did she really understand what she was promising? bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Emily Devenport) Wed, 14 Nov 2012 19:36:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Night-Shifters-Audiobook/B00A7073I0 thebookvoice.com 07:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A fantastical journey Every now and then I read a book that, when finished, makes me sit there and think "huh". I confess it took me an entire day to sort out exactly how I felt about it. The conclusion I came to was this: what a fascinating ride. The voice (no pun intended...read it to find out why I say that) feels a lot like Neil Gaimon. This is a huge compliment in my mind, and one not to be taken lightly. It's a little out there, a little on the child-like side, but in the end quite gripping and compelling. First Line: "Don't give up on your dreams, Mom advised. I promised I wouldn't. I really meant to keep the promise, but I thought I had broken it -- or maybe just failed to fully realize it, because I had not become a doctor, or a lawyer, or a mermaid. Or anything much, really. But on that fateful night, seventeen years later, I remembered that conversation when I went to bed." To me this first bit was awkward, as it felt like a flashback in a flashback disguised as reflection. It is confusing to follow and doesn't help set the place or give the reader a firm foundation. Then again...be prepared to never have a firm foundation because this is all about a dream world and who has firm foundations in dreams? Nobody! To be honest, to me the real first lines of this story are a bit further along. "I was a Grand Champion Dreamer. When I was asleep I dreamed a dazzling universe full of heroes and monsters, princesses and goddesses, cities and temples and gardens that made the most wonderful places on Earth seem dull in comparison." To me that embodies the entire story and is a perfect place to begin. (I might put it in present tense...because it's what she IS, not what she WAS, but that's just me). I think the largest point of confusion in this story, more than the fuzzy beginning, was that the protagonist, Hazel, is 26 years old. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Heartland-Audiobook/B009KASX6O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Heartland Subtitle: Codex of Souls, Book 2 Author: Mark Teppo Narrator: Andy Caploe Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The second novel of the Codex of Souls furthers explores the strange occult world first introduced in Lightbreaker. Mark Teppos vision of a magical underworld is a non-stop adventure that continues to bring new light to the occult origins of our history. Markham returns to Paris where he lost his love, and nearly his life. The ancient order of manipulative magicians that once cast him out is now in turmoil...a turmoil made all the greater by the swaths of destruction that Markham tried to avert in the Pacific Northwest. Teamed with an unlikely partner, Markham seeks to overturn the corrupt remains of an order no longer able to police its own practitioners. Yet, he can't escape the feeling that he's still just a pawn in a larger game. Editorial Reviews: Narrator Andy Caploe gives an intense performance in this second installment of the Codex of Souls series, shading protagonist Markham's interior voice with jaded doubt as he seeks to overturn the group of magicians who cast him out five years before. Markham jumps from one altercation to another in Paris, and the physical violence he encounters is matched by emotional turmoil when his former lover Marielle appears. Caploe doesn't hold back on the drama as Markham wrestles with the issue of free will versus determinism, and fans of urban fantasy will have their appetites whetted for the next book in this series. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mark Teppo) Wed, 03 Oct 2012 11:58:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Heartland-Audiobook/B009KASX6O thebookvoice.com 16:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice Series I enjoyed this and it's predecessor, Lightbreaker. I recommend this for action magic lovers and even those, like myself, who would not be seen dead with a deck. No Spoilers... Heartland (The Codex of Souls) Mark Teppo (2009), Paperback, 425 pages, Release 26 Jan 2010 **Want spoilers??** None here today! Mark Teppo's second book in The Codex of Souls picks up at the end of the cleverly crafted bridge just past the end of Lightbreaker. He crafts a dark tale of twisted intrigues, using an encyclopedic array of magickal and physical disciplines; tarot to Qabalah, spell-casting to sword fighting. There is a richness of language and image not seen in Lightbreaker, and a complexity of characters more fully made real. References to well-documented historic and esoteric source materials are well presented and integrated in such a way that it is not a challenge to suspend belief. What is a challenge, however, is trying to anticipate where the story will take you - just about the time I thought I knew there would be a new fork in the path which might lead to an entirely different end. I look forward to new works by this author. He writes engagingly and accessibly, but with sufficient depth and color to create a positively vivid word picture. Well Done! Original review posted at [...] (Because Amazon doesn't have .5 star increments this work is granted +.5 stars vs Librarything.com review) One of the most original Urban Fantasy series going. Heartland by Mark Teppo is the second in The Codex of Souls series, which picks up soon after the action of where Lightbreaker (reviewed here) drops you. In fact the excerpt for Heartland at the end of Lightbreaker doesn't appear in Heartland itself so definitely check it out as it lays out the impetus behind this volume. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wake-Audiobook/B00915TR4A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A new take on sirens This is a story that is not exactly perfect and the main girl Gemma can act a bit like a spoilt brat at times and does not always seem to understand that her sister has given up a lot for her. The relationship between the sisters is something that is very believable but Harper and the boy next door are meant to be best friends and it doesn't always seem that way. For me I would like to hear about the bad girls of the story what motivates them and why they stay loyal to each other. Very little is known about them and it just seems a bit strange that no one wonders about them. It's still a good story but while it has a bit of Greek mythology inside the story it has been changed to make the book more believable I believe is the word I am looking for. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Hunters-Haunt-Audiobook/B00994O9GY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love both Omar books Love both Omar books. Thought it was very clever to make the story be a tale of telling stories. Good plot, engaging, and enjoyable characters. Sadly, I donât think Dave will write a third. Iâd be buying it instantly if so. A rose red city is also another idea he should build on. Five Stars Great book Possibly even better than Reaver Road Possibly even better than Reaver Road. One of Duncan's best, up there with Hero and A Man of His Word. A group of people stuck in an inn by bad weather tell some stories to pass the time. And they all add up to one big surprise, all the more amazing because Duncan assembles it right under your nose. Omar Strikes Again......... Hunters' Haunt is the Second (and sadly only other) time Omar, the teller of tall tales, appears in Duncan's books. It can be read as a 'stand alone book' or before or after REAVER ROAD (the other Omar book), which as a huge Duncan fan I would of course recommend buying as well. The book is set in the backdrop of Omar literary telling tales to save his life with a story competition against the other guests in a snowbound inn. The book is very cleverly written and while I suppose it could be considered one of his early works, it still delivers the high quality of this much underrated (at least in Europe!) Author. I have tried pestering Duncan by email to extend his GREAT GAME series but he calmly replied that whilst it might be a good idea commercially, he felt, as an Author, he had explored that world as far as he should and it would only dilute the story if he carried on. (I hope you're reading this David Eddings & Raymond E Feist, stop now, please!) So I guess there is no point in wishing for just one more Omar book? To summaries: Great book, buy it. If you have yet to read a Duncan book, start here! Readable The second book in this duology has Omar, trader of tales, ending up at an inn where he doesn't want to be. He had done some things at the inn before that had really teed off the owner. There several travelers trapped there by a snow storm. As Fritz, the owner, tries to take Omar outside to do him in, a challenge develops. Omar will be pitted against the rest of the guests in tale telling contest. If he wins he is free, if he loses Fritz gets him. Good reading, simple plot with many interlinking tales. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Invisibles-Volume-1-Audiobook/B0088PHT6W Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> Título: Invisibles (Volume 1) Subtitular: Spanish Edition Autor: Oscar Estrada Narrador: Oscar Estrada Formato: Unabridged Duración: 6 hrs Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 06-05-12 Editor: casasolaeditores Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Resumen del editor: 6 horas de narración del autor con ligeros efectos especiales.

Members Reviews: Great New Series! I loved this book! It started out strong and kept hold of me until the last word. I really enjoyed the author's take on ghosts and the paranormal, and the people that deal with them. Well done! I'd rec this book to those who love ghosts, the paranormal, and strong female lead characters. A promising start to a great sounding series! The only complaint I have is that it is too short! I want to know more about what is going to happen to all these very interesting characters that have been introduced to in this book. The concept of the book is not new but Natasha Hoar does a wonderful job of making old new again. I read ALOT so I love it when I find a book that really interests me enough to read in one sitting! A terrific read The Stubborn Dead is an enjoyable short novella about Rachel Miller, a ghost buster who wouldn't like me to call her that. Her correct title is a Rescue Medium. She's good at her job, which entails releasing trapped spirits from the earthly realm, but in The Stubborn Dead, she meets a challenge - a dangerous wraith who doesn't act like he should. Sylvia Elkeles, the client who engaged Rachel's services is obviously hiding something and it may be something that could tip the scales between life and death for Rachel. From the blurb The Order [of Rescue Mediums] considers the wraith an extreme threat and Rachel may be forced to use a barbaric ritual to free him-a ritual that comes with a heavy personal price. If she fails to humanely release the wraith, she'll have her supernatural abilities bound. Add a local supernatural mob boss with a romantic interest in the heroine to the mix and things get more complicated. Rachel eventually uncovers the disturbing truth about Sylvia and her relation to the wraith who may not realize he's supposed to be dead. This is a well constructed mystery with interesting, well rounded characters. Rachel is easy to like, but my favourite character at the end is actually the wraith. Although clues are left like a trail of breadcrumbs, I never picked the full truth until it was revealed because I'd never come across anything quite like it before. That's no mean feat in today's market bulging with urban fantasy. The romance is very low key, so the book is suitable for young adults as well as adults and makes a great read for those times when you don't want to get embroiled in a longer work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Area-51-Nosferatu-Audiobook/B007APL3HC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: not a fan of the undead This book did not fit in the ark of the narrative of Area 51. I was barely able to finish it. The story goes in a completely different direction which fits in nicely into the horror genre. I wish I had stopped reading when my stomach began to turn. I am annoyed and unhappy that this blood soaked horror of a story was forced into the Area 51 saga. Area 51: Nosferatu This manuscript involved too many iconoclastic ideas. Most people do not believe in "vampires" and the key to the invasion of the different humanoid races lies in the the chambers that allow rejuvenation by imprint from a disk that is updated until a new clone must be used. (A possible idea). The off the wall idea is that some of the aliens have a factor in their blood that allows them to extend their life by infecting a non-alien, and utilizing that blood periodically to extend their lives. This makes the whole manuscript have a bad image after a few chapters. I think Mr.Mayer needed to publish or perish and this was the result. This was not the same class as his other books in this series. Thus I rated it one star. Undead Weird store of undead mixed with history which makes one wonder truth or not. Love story that shows how powerful true love can be. Gross parts but good flow. The ending is the best. If you like science,history,technology and vampires this is a must read. A sleeping pill A large portion of the story deals with a vampire running around the desert and other places looking for a meal by sucking blood from unsuspecting people and going into hibernation for hundreds of years to have body parts grow back. The author tries to make it possible that these guys have been leaders of countries for centuries but no one seems to notice that they don't age. I realize it is a sci-fi story but I found it to be dragged out a little to much. I have read eight of this authors works and liked them very much but this one could have been shorter. I bought another of his works last night and it seems to have a little more action already. Titled the same and shows next in the series. .. ...yet a whole new book. The first books in this series were good. I enjoyed them fairly well. Then I got to this book. This book has nothing in common with the prior books in the series except basic names. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Iron-Council-Audiobook/B005LR90DK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Iron Council Subtitle: New Crobuzon, Book 3 Author: China Mieville Narrator: Damian Lynch Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 09-08-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: It is a time of revolts and revolutions, conflict and intrigue. New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within. War with the shadowy city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming metropolis to the brink. In the midst of this turmoil, a mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery and violence incubate in unexpected places. In desperation, a small group of renegades escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for a lost hope, an undying legend. In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon's most dangerous hour, there are whispers. It is the time of the Iron Council. Critic Reviews: "Miéville has reshaped modern fantasy, as readers of the award-winning Perdido Street Station and The Scar know very well, and he's done so by rejecting epic romance à la Tolkien for what one might call Zolaesque magic naturalism. Miéville's signature city, New Crobuzon, is populated by the human, the insectoid, the genetically remade, and altogether teems with the kind of grotesques one associates with Bosch paintings, the gnarly art (both verbal and pictorial) of Mervyn Peake or the night-club scene in Star Wars. There are no generic happy endings here." (The Washington Post) "China Miéville's new novel takes place in the same world as Perdido Street Station and The Scar, a kind of steampunk milieu furnished by clockwork engines (here we see the invention of the phonograph), electrified by magic ("thaumaturgy"), and populated by an improbable variety of sentient life-forms. It tells the story of industrial action on a railway - which, this being fantasy fiction, is more colourful than a day of commuter misery at Waterloo." (The Guardian) "Full of warped and memorable characters, this violent and intensely political novel smoothly combines elements of fantasy, science fiction, horror, even the western."

(Publishers' Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent story, shame about the narration I didn't enjoy Railsea as much as I'd hoped, but Iron Council was everything I've come to expect from China Mieville. What almost completely ruined it for me, though, was the narration. Mieville utilises an excellent and broad vocabulary, but unfortunately the narrator approached many of the words as someone who had never heard them before and therefore pronounced them with seemingly random inflection and phonics. I can thoroughly recommend the book, but it's one to read until a new actor is found do so for Audible. Even with the best will in the world.... If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? I am a bit of a Mieville fan having loved "The city and the city" and the first two New Crobuzon books to bits. I came to this willing to plunge into any wierdness that China proposed. I had saved it up for my holidays for over 6 months after I purchased it, smuggling it with me like a precious pleasure postponed. I got halfway through and I had to give up and I am confused as to exactly why. The politics that other reviewers mention did not frighten me nor the experimental nature of it. I was looking forward to more Mieville challenges. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Gods-Behaving-Badly-Audiobook/B005JFL8HK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great fun I originally picked up this book because I loved the premise - Greek gods, no longer used or needed are living out a droll life in modern day Hampstead, England. Nobody believes in them anymore and when you're immortal - well, there's only so much you can do before you've done it all - several times. And of course, I always love stories of immortality - goes right up there with invisibility. I gobble the stuff up. So while I was eager to read the book, unfortunately I wasn't able to get to it right away until recently when I noticed my husband was reading his way through Rick Riordan'sThe Heroes of Olympus, The, Book One: Lost Heroseries. With renewed interest, I felt like I was sharing a literary journey with my beloved - while he reads about the half human son of Poseidon trying to discover his heritage and power in a Harry Potter-esque way - I was reading a slightly more um, adult version about the Greek Olympian gods. Since they are no longer the deities they once were and have fallen out of the limelight, the gods have picked up some occupations to keep themselves busy - Eros is a born-again Christian and attends church regularly - even is considering joining the priesthood - which causes some confusion, Dionysius runs a seedy bar is rather a hot DJ and serves plenty of his famous wine, Aphrodite, true to her nature as the goddess of lust, has taken on the job as a 1-866 phone sex performer - which is hilarious when she takes a call in the middle of a conversation. Artemis, no longer able to hunt, is now a professional dog walker and seems to be the most grounded of the group, which then brings us to Apollo....well - aside from chasing Aphrodite and turning mortal women into trees, he's starting his own TV show that taps into the latest trend of TV Psychics. Enter into their domain a meek but very mortal housekeeper named Alice with her new-found boyfriend Neil and suddenly everything is turned upside down. Alice and Neil go where no mortal has gone before - and live to tell about it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Need-for-Magic-Audiobook/B003OR2BHQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Need for Magic Subtitle: A Social Psychology Novel Author: Joseph Swope Narrator: Chris Dooly, Justine Moral Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-10 Publisher: Joe Swope Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Need for Magic is an unabridged telling of the thought provoking and dangerous novel by Joseph Swope. Chris Dooly and Justine Moral combine their voice talents to offer a fantasy world where listeners can hear the gruff rumble of dwarves, the ancient wisdom of elves, and even the accented spell work of wizards. The arch-villain is not a dragon, wizard or overlord. The evil one is a charismatic woman who knows what people need. By masterfully playing to everyone's need for approval and their need to feel important, she inspires fanatic devotion and gains the throne of a large nation. Even those with great magical power or deadly skill with a sword have needs. As a result, they too are played like puppets by her deft hand. Listeners should be wary that they will hear an echo of their own needs and maybe even a bit of magic they can bring into their own world. Need for Magic is also an exploration of social psychology. Indeed, the magic of Need for Magic is based on documented psychological studies gone awry. Conformity, persuasion and obedience are powerful forces that few can resist. Cults, the Stanford Prison Experiment, Stanley Milgram's work, and the Stockholm Syndrome are examples of power more dangerous than any magic spell or dragon's fire. Magic and Social Psychology, like all forms of power, can be used for good or ill. History is filled with leaders, dictators, and heroes who seem to have had a magical hold over others. There are few things more powerful than a group sacrificing for a common goal. The magic of Need for Magic is alive and well today.

Chris Dooly and Justine Moral combine their voice talents to offer a fantasy world where listeners can hear the gruff rumble of dwarves, the ancient wisdom of elves, and even the accented spell work of wizards. The arch-villain is not a dragon, wizard or overlord. The evil one is a charismatic woman who knows what people need. By masterfully playing to everyone's need for approval and their need to feel important, she inspires fanatic devotion and gains the throne of a large nation. Even those with great magical power or deadly skill with a sword have needs. As a result, they too are played like puppets by her deft hand. Listeners should be wary that they will hear an echo of their own needs and maybe even a bit of magic they can bring into their own world. Need for Magic is also an exploration of social psychology. Indeed, the magic of Need for Magic is based on documented psychological studies gone awry. Conformity, persuasion and obedience are powerful forces that few can resist. Cults, the Stanford Prison Experiment, Stanley Milgram's work, and the Stockholm Syndrome are examples of power more dangerous than any magic spell or dragon's fire. Magic and Social Psychology, like all forms of power, can be used for good or ill. History is filled with leaders, dictators, and heroes who seem to have had a magical hold over others. There are few things more powerful than a group sacrificing for a common goal. The magic of Need for Magic is alive and well today. It can be practiced by anyone who listens to and watches what needs people seek to fill.

Members Reviews: Draws you in and makes you believe The story drew me in right from the start and kept me immersed. I never wanted to hit pause to go back to real life. I could see that the psychological aspect of the magic could work in real life and it was fun to imagine how I could use the magic in my job. The characters were fun and fascinating and I don't know which sub plot I liked more. The readers were good. I liked how they did not simply read but performed it. At times it soundled like a read through for a play, but it definitely works. There were a few rough spots in the sound quality and production, but the story more than made up for it. I wish there was a sequel as the end leaves the reader hanging. It is strange to think I acutally miss the characters and wish them well. This is one hell of a journey! Even though there is no part to this book has a lot to offer from what is the meaning of yourself to a new view of seeing the world. Need for Magic makeover Need for Magic story line is good and interesting. The quality of the recording is bad. It sounds like it was recorded in a tin can and the narrators was not very good. Fantastic Story Had me thinking!! very good story very good narration, loved the plot regarding how to control people. Fantastic listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Last-Continent-Audiobook/B0032N4ZEY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Delightful...glassful and downright mischevious. The pleasures on the page are so quirkily seductive." (Sunday Telegraph) Members Reviews: No Worries... As a huge fan of the whole 'Discworld' Series and the multifarious characters within, the Wizards are perhaps my favorite and The last Continent is packed with shenanigans from our friends at U. U. Like all Pratchett's work it is multi-referencial and in this case the last Continent refers to Australia, no worries. So we get everything from Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee to Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Although I also love the unabridged versions admirably read by Nigel Planer, for me Tony Robinson's amazing variety of voices adds an extra dimension to the characters. In this case his quite hilarious Ozzy accent! The plot, as alway, keeps you chuckling all the way through.... The Librarian is sick - 'ook' - and the Wizards are worried but can do no magic as no one can remember his name... ... The Arch Chancellor and the gang get stuck on mono island which they found through the window of the missing 'Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography'. Where strange things are going on and eventually they meet the God of Evolution who is running amuck with creation. And Rincewind, possibly the last person to know the librarians name is presently stuck in a strange land far far away called Four X. Going through the out-back Rincewind travels through the town of 'Bugger-Up' to get to the one horse town of ' Did-ya-bring-a beer-along' meets a man with a Boomerang, 'one of the big heavy sort, that didn't come back because they were stuck in somethings rib-cage'! Gets pissed on by a small grey incontinent teddy bear in a tree, is arrested for sheep stealing, haunted by Skippy the Kangaroo and falls into a lot of water holes... Another masterpiece in the series and a must listen-to for any fan.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: I have enjoyed many of the essays more than the following stories Apparently, audiobook only includes the intro to Section 7. I may have to dig up the paper copy to get these two stories. Also, I have decided that the opening essays at the beginning of each of these sections comprise exactly the sort of autobiography of GRR Martin that I want. I have enjoyed many of the essays more than the following stories. SHELL GAMES, the first story in Section 8: Doing the Wild Card Shuffle, made me definitely interested in checking out the Wild Cards series. However the second âFrom the Journal of Xavier Desmondâ left me wanting more. With SHELL GAMES, I didnât feel like I needed to read the rest of the series to understand the story. JOURNAL felt more like a series of sketches that would tie the world together nicely, but doesnât stand on its own as a story. While I will still check out a WILD CARDS book to see how I like them (probably the awesome audio book version coming soon) Iâm not rushing to put it on my list ahead of Jeffrey R Deregoâs UNION DUES book. 5 hours $15 Iâm giving it 2 stars because I like George RR Martin but I seriously donât understand how Audible can expect you to pay $15 for a 5 hour audiobook? There needs to be some kind of correlation between amount of content and price. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dragon-In-Gallis-Audiobook/B074WGTTXG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great read. Even better than book 1. Looking forward to book 3! I immensely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys fantasy. The author has a good imagination and the storyline keeps the reader engaged.

I love this product for our older dog who has an easier time getting into back seat instead of in the way back with the other dogs. I no longer have to worry about him falling off the seat when driving around corners or stopping suddenly. The hammock works brilliantly to keep him safe and keep seats dry and hair free! Cross the Poetic Fantasy of William Blake With the Gritty Dark Heart of Joseph Conrad The Erstwhile, by B. Calling, is the fevered sequel to his novel, The Vorrh. It takes place somewhere in Africa sometime between the world wars. The Erstwhile are nightmare creatures out of William Blakeâs illustrated poems. They are the angels who failed to protect the tree of knowledge from Adam and Eve. They have been buried and some few who have been excavated are reanimating. The former Garden of Eden is now the Vorrh, a forest of immense monetary value to the German colony nearby called the Essenwald. Harvesting the timber is complicated by the fact that presence in the forest is inimical to humans. Only the Limboia, slaves to the Essenwald colony, can endure significant periods of time in the forest, and they have vanished within. Ishmael is the one who can find them and return the colony to profitability. This is only one of a complex weave of plot lines peopled with fantastic creatures with weird and terrifying powers. All this resists summarization or even the possibility of coming to a conclusion. I enjoyed the purple prose and fantastic connection with Blake. Many of the characters are fascinating and demanded my attention so I kept reading to find out what happened. What I didn't like is that there are too many characters, too many narratives and too much self-conscious language. Alert: this is volume 2 of a trilogy. You really, really should read Catlingâs first book in this trilogy, âThe Vorrhâ, before starting this volume. There is a little backstory here, but there is nowhere near enough for a reader to understand the context of this continuation. It just takes up where volume one left off. Catling seemingly wrote these books for those who require no hard line between science fiction and fantasy that has to be adhered to for their reading pleasure. And, it requires buying into the authorâs premises. Without too deep an analysis, Iâve found that he follows his own logic throughout the two books. This is a book about lives; even though we find it difficult to understand some types of them â including those most like ourselves. There are stereotypes without them being handled in stereotypical fashion. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lord-of-the-Darkwood-Audiobook/B01N1Q9S4Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The reader is pretty much insufferable Only a very good story being very well told could have made me listen through hour after hour of a reader unable to use proper intonation and punctuation. It is painful to listen to sentences that seem to end in weird places, only for the next breath of the reader to reveal that the sentence had three more words. When the reader then goes straight on to the next phrase, I miss out on the content because I am still deciphering the real meaning of that strangely read sentence. This would have been perfectly evident to the reader if he had bothered to read the book to himself first, and make some notes to himself! Listeners should be able to hear which word in a sentence is the important one. Most decent narrators automatically dramatize at least speech, but also use techniques such as a variety of tones, loudness and speed to make the story an adventure to listen to. The reason why I do not call the reader a narrator is that he does not add anything to the original writing, he merely conveys the words as if they were found in an accounting ledger. For a REAL narration, try listening to David Tennant make "How to Train Your Dragon" not just a great story, but a nuanced, sensitive, sweet, funny, scary and wildly exciting tale. If you can manage to listen to this book again afterwards without cringing, you're a better person than me! captures the beautiful and unique writing style Amazing. I didn't want it to end. it truely captures hearns poetic writing style. the reader and author should do more work together as it seems a perfect partnership to me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Vermilion-Witch-Audiobook/B01M1SXPPT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's obvious that the author put some effort in the editing and proof-reading of this. However, with only 28 pages to go by it's rather apparent that this is another novella being divided up into a 'series'. Might I suggest labeling this as a prequel or fleshing it out more to justify a reader's time. Had to read it twice to finally understand it. Good read the first time around â AMAZINGGG the second time. Iâll put a general review first, and then one with spoilers. Really fantastic read. Never really read a female character like Dina. Sheâs arrogant and funny, but also really smart. The premise is really interesting: Dina is a witch whoâs known to be very talented, but she actually doesnât know any magic. Sheâs essentially a con-woman and gets away by making regular tricks seem like magic. SPOILERS: Okay hereâs where the story blew me away. The first time I read it, the ending didnât seem to make any sense. The second time around, I understood it. Dina is the Vermilion Witch, and at the end of the story, sheâs taking the kids to the tower for blood magic, just like the aunt said so. The story has many parallels: Dina gets blisters from fire crackers and the soldier said when he first saw the Vermilion Witch, she had blisters all over her hand. Dina says she commands âfire and lightningâ with smoke and mirrors: the two signs of the witch are smoke and mirrors. Dina actually tells the frog to move in the first scene â and later on you learn the vermilion witch can speak to animals. Dina says her life is a house of cards that reaches the sky with kings stacked upon queens â the vermilion witch used to kidnap kings and queens and lock them in her tower which touches the sky. There are many, many more, but those are just a few I caught. In this regard, the best moment is probably when you think Dina is lying to the men in the ritual saying âI killed their parents and am pretending to be their sister to kidnap them.â Itâs essentially double sarcasm â that IS the truth, but as the reader you first think youâre a step ahead by thinking itâs a lie. It just ended. I understand that a book in a serial has to stir up interest so that the reader is encouraged to read the next book. Still, said book should stand on it's own too. This book DID NOT! This book just ENDED. PERIOD. I read the Kindle version and actually found myself going back and forth at the end looking for the rest of it! On the plus side, good characters, good story, and interesting. If you don't mind buying possibly MANY books to get to the end.... So normally I don't like to write reviews because well So normally I don't like to write reviews because well, fudge 'em that's why. But reading the other reviews left me scratching my head as to what many were saying, seeing as many of the readers kind of missed the whole spiel of the book. Before I get into that however, lets talk about the writing. The writing is phenomenal. Like, think about the writing style for a second here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Mystical-Oak-Audiobook/B01MY5MRZY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of Lusus Naturae to be better than the print version? I only listen to audio books and this is a good audio book. Good sound quality and well narrated, with Tom Adams bringing each and every character to life in a unique, convincing and,most importantly, consistent way. Who was your favorite character and why? Cyprian. She is everything I want to be when I become a blood-thirsty, lustful she-creature from a different dimension that devours her own young. She is like the Kim Kardashian of fantasy because everyone should want to be her, and also because I wish Kim Kardashian would eat her own young and bring an end to a generation of people who are famous for no reason. Which character as performed by Tom G.H. Adams was your favorite? The character of the creepy monster collector/seller was the strongest and I feel worth the most praise because it could not have been a) an easy task to come up with that accent in the first place and b) maintain it as consistently as Adams has managed. Kudos for that. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I found myself highly captivated by the story. I love dark fantasy and this story was perfect for me. Any additional comments? Like if Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had a baby, that baby would be Tom Adams. LOVED this book so much I devoured it, *wipes lips gently with napkin* more please. The lovechild of H. P. Lovecraft and Neil Gaiman Charles Renshaw is a washed out aristocrat with a failing fortune, and too much time on his hands. What does he do? He purchases a monster, of course. As you can well imagine, Charles gets more than he bargained for. But not in quite the ways you would have thought. This was my first experience of Tom Adams' work, and I was pleasantly surprised. The story was crisp, both in its pacing and in its narration. The characters were well-delineated (I loved the monster seller), and the central premise was original and more than clever. I laughed out loud regularly. The plot had me guessing incorrectly often enough to make this a very satisfying read. It's a testament to the author's skill that he squeezed so much content into a two-hour story. Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this recording, and recommend it. I'll be keeping an eye out for more work by this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hitwolf-Volume-2-Audiobook/B01LWP1IG9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Fun Diversion This book, based in the Vietnam War era, pulls us into the slimy underworld of the New Jersey mafia and the ongoing war between two of the mob families, run by Michael Monzo and Martin "Mardi Gras" Stubbs, respectively. But that's not all - Stubbs has gotten hold of a werewolf that he uses to kill his enemies. His werewolf bites one of Monzo's men, making him a werewolf too. Enter John Slate, former mercenary and current construction worker, who happens to be in the same dive bar with Monzo and Pegg, the wizard who controls werewolves with an amulet. A biker gang comes in and starts a fight, and Monzo is so impressed with Slate's fighting skills that he kidnaps him and turns him into a werewolf to add to his arsenal. The mob wars escalate with the addition of werewolves, needless to say. Slate is a little too smart to be held captive for long though. Although this is not the type of book I would normally pick up, I can truly say that I read it from cover to cover in practically one sitting. There is a lot of gory violence, but since it is fantasy it didn't really bother me as it might in another genre. The characters are interesting and well-developed, and the story moves along at a rapid pace with a cool ending. This book will not disappoint! Smart and Fun Very much enjoyed this read. It was fun and very well written. Will be recommending this. Thank you to the author for a unique story! Moonrise... Manhunt... Hitwolf... Thinking back, I hesitated over giving 5 stars or 4 stars but I lean more toward having loved the book than just liked it. Intense and fast paced and quite interesting, great cultural wisecracks. Spartan writing to the point of one and two word sentences, but well used and placed. The only thing that I wasn't too keen on is a few times it seemed like there were a few too many characters and I became confused and had to go back a page or two and reread. Slate reminded me of Jack Reacher, only I liked Slate better, another reason to go with five stars. Reacher got on my nerves pretty quickly as he seemed too prone to gratuitous violence just for the shock value. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Through-the-Looking-Glass-I-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01LOWUTDK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not My Cup of Tea I was given this book via audiobook boom for a review. I am sad to say that I did not like it as well as I thought I would from the description. Not to put too finer spin on this book if you like books of this caliber then listen to it. The description is well written. Niche book but still good First of all I received this book for free for a honest review. I liked the overall story but I don't review book I don't think I'll like. I've read merchant building books before and I enjoy them, and if you enjoy a story about selling and buying then this is a good addition to the genre. My only gripe of the book was the antagonist just seemed so bland and had no motive other then, I'm a bad guy. But it doesn't take away from the book much. If you like this type of book it's worth a read. Couldn't get past the narration. Potential, but couldn't get past the narration.

Members Reviews: Can It Work Out An ARC was given to me for an honest review. They are back home in England. Things are going well and he wants her to have a child. She not sure about that, because of the curse, until she hears that he already has a daughter. Of course situations can never be easy for them. This is a quick read with a cliffhanger. Enjoy I did. More! I can honestly say by the end of this one I wanted more. I just felt there was more to be said. Like I want the towns people to become less mean, she should get revenge on the snobs, the curse could maybe be broken. And maybe she should less wishywashy. All 5 books were on KU so they were free for me. I don't think I buy it though, I think the story had much more potential and the author does too. But at the same time I always wanted to know what would happen next so storyline did keep me interested. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Plod-On-Sleepless-Giant-Audiobook/B01JBATFT6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"Walk, walk, walk, through the darkness he would stomp; his feet pounding his life into the earth." Members Reviews: A debut not to be missed. M.P. McVey's genre-bending debut novel gives an intriguing look at the fallout after the Earth stops spinning, even just for a moment. In a Bradbury-esque twist sprinkled with poetic prose, McVey takes the rotation of the Earth and turns it inside out. Temelephas, a giant elephant, plods along at the center of the Earth attached to a giant wheel. When an unexpected visitor enchants him enough to halt his turning, the world above is thrown into chaos. Characters find themselves in places they don't belong and are drawn into a deeper conflict that had been brewing under the surface for some time. As the book draws to a close, the reader is left in wonder at how it could all work out and everything be returned to its rightful place. McVey is able to draw the characters together seamlessly and provide an enticing and convincing solution without it feeling rushed or trite. If this is what McVey is able to accomplish with his debut novel, readers should be on the watch for whatever he produces next. Great book What a great imagination! This book grabs your attention right from the first page. It takes you on a wild adventure full of twists, turns, awesome characters and unexpected friendships. Five Stars A must read! Five Stars Great book! Great First Novel! All great fantasy/science-fiction novels must ask a question: that question could be simple, dismissed in a mere handful of pages, or it could be complex, requiring volume after volume to ferret out. As the quote above suggests, M.P. McVey asks a big question in his first book, Plod On, Sleepless Giant. What is the nature of the world as its been handed down to us? Do we truly know why we know what we know? Or even who we are? By exploring this question from multiple perspectives (both semi-divine and painfully human), McVey not only presents us with a fabulous tale, but he makes us question the nature of stories themselves. For to read is to come closer to knowing your place in the universe, however large or small; each book is a step closer toward the most profound knowledge of all. This book might actually count for two or three steps, particularly if the reader takes time to savor the small details hidden along the way. Not surprisingly, McVeyâs novel defies easy categorization, almost demanding its own subgenre of the science fiction/fantasy genre. Without resorting to clichéd magicians speaking in hushed tones of Armageddon, McVey has created a truly magical world which teeters on the edge of disaster. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Snow-Flower-Araras-Tale-Audiobook/B01ITY4IP6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was awesome, but poor Arara can't seem to get ahead! We look forward to the next book. YA Fantasy Novella ââshe wasnât content with always being the under-dog just because sheâd been born small.â (Kindle Locations 897-898). Arara doesnât want to go to school where sheâs bullied and belittled by the confident and large alpha pup, Kerka and his followers. Arara has a special ability to hear othersâ thoughts, but that wonât help her win any fights. Until she finds out she has another special power, she does everything she can to avoid going to school, but she could use a lesson or two in paying attention and following directions. Itâs so interesting to see a society where fighting is not only allowed, but encouraged. Since this is a society that is based on dogs/wolves, this makes sense, since alphas must establish themselves and everyone knows their place in the pack. Not so with underdog Arara. Though she is destined to be an omega, she wants to be an alpha-guard. The only hope she has to win such a high placement in the pack is through her newly discovered ability to use her mind. Arara is hard to like at the beginning of the story. Sheâs impulsive, scared, reckless and canât get her act together. She doesnât listen or follow directions, even from her father whom she loves. She whines and ultimately acts like a very young pup. Cue the lesson, which she ignores because of her own stubbornness. She wonât take bullying sitting down, but she knows she canât beat the bigger, stronger, and arrogant Kerka. But will getting back at him make her feel better? Will it solve all her problems? Arara has to learn the hard way that anyone can be a bully and that itâs not best to get revenge. I loved how Arara was able to finally take the lesson of the story to heart by the end of this novella. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the author and this is an honest review. This very original and enjoyable tale had me hooked from ... This very original and enjoyable tale had me hooked from the beginning. By the time I'd hit the end, I was dying to pick up Flower's Fang. There were some repeated and extra words that might have benefited from a deeper edit, but preview to Fang's Flower at the end was far more polished. This story was so spellbinding and well crafted that without the errors it definitely would have been a five star. I very much look forward to reading more from this world, as soon as possible. Good story! This story was good and engaging. Some minor editing things that could have been avoided (word choices and the like) but nothing that could have taken you out of the story. The characters were real, the story engaging and it's part of a longer story that the author wrote. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Nethers-Audiobook/B01HH5DK0C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Not my kind of read but enjoyed the book Well worth your time and money... I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it reminded me of one of my favorite cult classic movies, "Mad Max". In a dismal post-apocalyptic world, numerous outposts vie for supremacy... and for survival. Each outpost is unique, with leader(s) established and governing rules imposed on its populace. In this dangerous world, there's not much to celebrate. And yet, there is still something to strive for: freedom. The two main characters, separated minutes before they were able to finish constructing their "flying airship", try desperately to find each other. Thus, the adventure begins. Along the way, they make friends... and enemies. The author did an amazing job of crafting the characters and giving every single one a distinct personality. Sub-plots abound, and the descriptions of the bleak landscape made it easy to imagine just what these survivors encountered on their journeys. This is one of those rare tales where you truly hate to leave your "friends" behind, and where it's difficult to move on to a new book. Fortunately, I suspect there will be more installments to look forward to. Definitely a must-have book; highly recommended. *** This book was provided to me from the publisher and/or the author as an ARC in return for my honest review. *** Thrilling adventure in brutal dystopia After the first book in this series, Jonesbridge, my first thought as this book opens is that heroes Myron and Sindra couldnât have it any worse. So naive. Thatâs what I am. Sindra and Myron are separated for most of the book, and neither one has it easy. Sindraâs baby is stolen. Her plight for most of the book is being chained to a new character who also doesnât have a delightful, fun time in the brutal dystopia of the bookâs setting. The setting is like Mad Max, if Max was not a super-capable warrior. There are no tank battles and mega-fights. The heroes struggle between bitter enslavement and rotten predicaments for almost 250 pages. But Myron and Sindra, and the new guy, are heroes. They persevere. Thatâs the underlying message of the book. They keep pushing through it, and the end result is thrilling.

Members Reviews: A Fun Collection Summary: 5 short fantasy stories featuring dragons, peasants, heroes, villains, and interesting twist on fairy tale heroes. Additional Comments: - In a collection like this, everybodys going to get something different out of it. I especially enjoyed the one in the middle told from Hansels point of view. - The ending of the Christmas one was predictable yet still awesome. - There was decent world-building even in something so short. This stood out in the one about the young man and the dragon. - The one with the young woman who finds truffles had the markings of traditional fairy tale. It felt very similar to the one with the young man and the dragon. - The narration was nice. Im a huge proponent of audiobook versions. It adds a wonderful layer to each story. The voice for the wood carver was my absolute favorite. Conclusion: This is definitely a worth-while collection to read. *I received a free audio version.

Members Reviews: Exciting sword and dragon adventures! If you could sum up Rite of Passage in three words, what would they be? Exciting dragon slaying What other book might you compare Rite of Passage to and why? The Last Dragonslayer &, Dragon Slayer series of books Which character as performed by Kevin Theis was your favorite? The father character, he had a great accent. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was a "on the edge of your chair" exciting kind of reation. Any additional comments? A short & fun dragon slaying adventure with superb narration. I really enjoyed it a lot. Great short story with a twist Rite of passage was a great short story. The only problem is I was left wanting more, but I guess that isn't a problem. The narrator has a deep full voice which is perfect for this Celtic themed book. Dragons and coming of age with a twist. Definitely worth a read... or two. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Twisted-Audiobook/B01EG4WYCM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Warden-Watch This book definitely took me down a different road from what I was expecting. I knew there was going to be a spiritual element to it, but I did not think it was going to be a Christian element. There were many interesting parts, but being a Christian myself I wasn't super comfortable with some of the ways the Christian symbols were used so I probably wouldn't recommend this to a friend. The narrator did a good job reading the book though the sound echoed a bit and it sounded like he was a bit far from the microphone. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review Those Myths and Legends are True. If you could sum up The Warden-Watch in three words, what would they be? Piercing the Veil. This book begins on the day that Casey is able to see and actively participate in the spiritual world around him. He enters a new realm and his reality will never be the same. What other book might you compare The Warden-Watch to and why? I would compare it to Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis because Casey (a young boy) enters another realm and meets spiritual characters. Warden Watch is also very well-written like Chronicles of Narnia. The author delights in language and plays well with words. It also reminds me of the movie, The Matrix because it uses symbols of salvation in a very edgy way. Have you listened to any of Locust & Honey Publicationss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, I am a fan. This is a great production by Locust & Honey. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? You would want to because the story is very good. At almost 5 hours, it would be impossible. Nobody has that much time. It took me three sittings to finish this story and I looked forward to every installment. Any additional comments? Very clean and very family friendly. There are some references to blood and drinking blood, but they are symbolic not horror/graphic. No gratuitous violence. Great book. I highly recommend. Monotonous and poorly written I did not manage to finish this but I got to Chapter 9 so feel I gave it a good go. This book was not helped by the monotonous and robot like voice it was read in. However it was also extremely badly written, everything is over explained and it feels as though someone has gone through with a thesaurus to add more complex words that do not quite fit. "Dollops of sweat". The storyline of this book is intriguing but not enough for me to put up with the long winded similes and poor writing. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com Really think hard before you listen to this. I am so sorry I asked to review this edition of this. I could not get past the 2nd chapter. The narrator's voice didn't change pitch the whole time I listened. And all the son's of blew me away. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Tommy-One-and-the-Apocalypse-Gun-Audiobook/B01DUX2XI0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Tommy One is packed with action and fun characterization Tommy One and The Apocalypse GunHey, this was a fun book! It starts with a gruesome death and keeps on popping after that. The chapters are super short, basically any time there's a scene change it's a new chapter. That's really my only complaint because it reads quickly at a rat-a-tat pace. The story? Well, the hero is Tommy One, a teenager who's a superhero in the 1950s (I think, judging from the cars used). He's well-liked and seems incredibly tenacious to the public and his enemies but otherwise has no apparent superpowers. They think he's just a teenager in a costume. What's to like? He just never seems to give up no matter how many times he gets knocked down. His secret (not a spoiler) is that he gets killed a lot and is replaced by a clone each time. That's all just the background though. He's put up against a brilliant scientist-crime lord who has invented a Tesla-like cannon. It's up to all the Tommy Ones to stop the bad guy and all his cronies. My favorite parts of the book are when Tommy teams up with his next-door neighbor, a teen age girl. Their dialogue is fun and interesting and I love how they are emotionally attached to each other. Both of them are teenagers, they're a bit emotional at times and that's a nice touch. At the same time, the two of them show some quick thinking that makes them respectable heroes as well. This is essentially an action novel though, and there's plenty of that in the vein of a light sci-fi movie. Gun fights, crazy technology, brawls, explosions and everything you expect in an 80s cartoon or an all-audience pulp magazine adventure like Tarzan or Indiana Jones. What's the readership level? Generally, I'd say PG-13, and it only goes that high because of some of the killing involved, but with a "power" like Tommy One's, you have to expect that, I guess. Still, it's a winner. I hope to see more coming along from the publisher. Exciting from beginning to end Wasn't disappointed with this story!!! A creative page turner to say the least.. Can't wait for the next installment of Tommy One... Fun with guns and gears Crackling with energy and flying along at a zippy pace, Tommy One and the Apocalypse Gun drops readers in Norfolk, Virginia, in the early 1950s. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Crystal-Run-Audiobook/B01CYUL6ZG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Crystal Run Author: Sheila O'Flanagan Narrator: Jot Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: On a typical afternoon, teenage Joe is being chased by bullies from school when he accidentally runs through a portal to another world. He finds himself in a training camp for a group of teenage boys and girls who will become Runners. Each cycle, three Runners are sent to place the power sources that will secure the shield that protects their land, Carcassia, and keeps the enemy Kabanians at bay. Once they've achieved their objective, a toxin is released into their bodies, and they die. No one is permitted to return through the shield. And nobody can remain in the enemy territory. Joe is sent on the next Run, accompanying the Runner, Kaia. He is hoping that he will find a way back to Earth - much to Kaia's annoyance, as she is focused only on her goal. Gradually a delicate friendship develops between the two, and Joe wonders if he can save Kaia as well as himself.

Members Reviews: Good but missed potential In The Crystal Run, a teen boy named Joe is transported into another world. In this world, two countries called Carcassia and Kabania were previously at war. Finally, Carcassia enacted a shield and for generations has kept the shield going to keep away Kabanians. However, three shield generators exist in enemy territory so they send runners to put new power crystals into those to keep the shield going. Joe is caught in Carcassia and sent on a run with a girl Kaia on her run. I listened to the audiobook and found the narrator to do a super job with all the characters. This book had a cool premise in that a country's answer to war was to enact a permanent shield. These people have been separated for generations without even communication between sides. There was a ton of potential here for some great story telling (I'd say it didn't quite meet the potential though). I found the characterizations to be well done... both characters seemed alien to each other and slowly formed a friendship. Both sometimes acted heroically, and at other times, immature and reckless. Both seemed to have a fairly good heart and were easily likeable. I did have some issues with the book. Having three generator sites so far into enemy territory didn't really make any sense from a location standpoint (it was more just a device to get the characters a destination). It might make sense if they were close to the border but they were not. Also, the book couldn't decide if Kabanians were still war mongering after so many generations or if they were peaceful. If they were indeed peaceful it could have been a good way to show Kaia's prejudice (and racism?) but ultimately the book sent so many mixed messages it is hard to tell. There wasn't enough to really like the Kabanians. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Wolf-and-the-Sorceress-The-Kings-Magician-Audiobook/B01D1X48X2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The sorceress, Nemeila, crash landed in the woods as babyâin a spaceship. She is rescued by a wolf. Now if that doesnât hook your interest right away, I donât know what will. Nemeila is taken in by a woodsman and his wife and is raised as their daughter. But thatâs not the end of the story. We meet Nemeilaâs real mother and an evil sorcerer who is her nemesis. Nemeilaâs adventure includes traveling to another land to rescue a prince when the sorceror kills his father. In addition to the wolf, the story includes a dragon, an eagle, and a horse. While the animals canât talk, I enjoy how the author puts their thoughts into words for the reader. This novel is perfect for middle grade readers and up. The character of Nemeila instantly makes you root for her. Parlan and Tyler, the prince and his friend, are also well developed characters. The conflict is great, plausible with just the right amount of magic. The very best news of all is that the author is planning five more books in this series. We donât have to leave Nemeila and her wolf yet! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Stars-Bleed-at-Midnight-Audiobook/B01B20V09Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you listen to The Stars Bleed at Midnight again? Why? Yes, the book surprised me. Wonderful writing and great narration. So many characters and interesting twists. Yeomans has a knack for the human condition and displays it in a fascinating world. Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Samuel Clemens and Oscar Wilde. What a wonderful partnership. What does Robert Rossmann bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hard to believe that one actor is creating so many characters, each with their own easily identified personas. Any additional comments? Loved it, it is a great find. I am going to look for Roland Yeomans and Robert Rossmann's other books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ways-of-Orient-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01A16B3LW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Madman Mumbled His Way to a 5 Star Review And a Madman Mumbled is a wonderful opportunity for new readers to become acquainted with how Blalock's mind works. In this collection, six speculative fiction stories are provided. Not only, do these works allow the reader to debate and think outside the box, but they allow the reader to see Blalock is capable of writing in any genre he pleases. The first story, Camouflage, is a cerebral piece based in an insane asylum. Our protagonist is a mental patient by the name of Jason. Although this story is chilling in nature, I found dark humor in the antagonist being a man eating tree. As the story spirals out into its nightmarish ending, the reader is left questioning what actually happened. For those familiar with Ray Bradbury or Richard Matheson, one might appreciate how Blalock has channeled their literary talents into his own vision. The second tale, Face of the Enemy, is sci-fi/fantasy themed and has a feeling compared to Robert Heinlein. This story takes place in our galaxy, and poses a catastrophic possibility that could be fatal for Earth. Such as most brilliant sci-fi stories, this segment lightly touches on politics. As Blalock proves to be the master of speculative fiction, the subject he touches here is simply presented for thought and not utilized as a soapbox speech. The third story, The Last Drive, is a disturbing sci-fi genre piece. Not since watching the original Terminator have I felt so unnerved about technology. The way Blalock describes the antagonists here shows a degree of originality that is sure to leave an impression in oneâs mind. The fourth installment, The Moment Frozen, is a chilling encounter about a man named Dan who is diving peacefully, until his car suddenly stops for no reason. After he has become stranded, he catches a glimpse of a creature that could possibly be a gremlin. In this white knuckled tale, I quickly became married to its suspenseful originality, as Mr. Blalock paints a subtle nightmare with hints of Lovecraft. What impressed me most, was his explanation of how gremlins come into our world and why they destroy our machines. The fifth segment, No Pay, No Pass, is the only light hearted story in this collection. However, don't let what I just said fool you, as it is a dark humor piece. In this simple, yet grin invoking story, our characters are a knight and a troll. The humor is found in their argument, as the knight wants to cross the bridge that the troll guards without paying its required toll. For fans of Christopher Moore, this has the humor one might need to recover from The Moment Frozen. The final story, Revenge, is a dark fantasy piece that introduces a necromancer named Tsiel, Lord Djemo. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Paradise-Audiobook/B014JJKMAK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Major Disappointment I normally dont purchase a book unless it has been thoroughly reviewed. I made an exception for this book and was reminded why I insist on reviews. While the characters are well developed that is the only redeeming feature of the book. The whole point of the story seems to be to convince the reader that humans are frail, fallible creatures that live inevitable lives. Half way through the book I considered asking for a refund but kept listening believing that it had to get better. It didnt. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Learning-to-Live-Audiobook/B0147QKXT0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Her parents were murdered, and now, at 21, her uncle and protector is dead, too.... This dramatic chain of events compels Mona to spend time amid a Welsh-speaking community in Ynys Môn, also known as Anglesey. It is here that her druidic ancestry begins to emerge, identified more quickly by those around her. Attacked by an enemy druid, Mona quickly finds herself at the center of an intense druid civil war. Branded with "the mark", she unleashes her power, only to discover she also has a terrible weakness. Mona quickly finds herself drawn to the warrior Cai, but they are soon separated when the community's fleet is lured out to sea by the threat of an Irish attack. With the Welsh druids convinced she is a spy working amongst them, Mona's uncontrollable power explodes for a second time. The Welsh druids must decide if Mona is their savior or their destroyer. A fast-moving, contemporary action story, Hiraeth is a trilogy inspired by the ancient Celtic texts of the Mabinogion and the Ulster Cycle.

I will definitely listen to this one again. Even with the extensive story line it is easy to follow the story line. I can't wait for more! Highly recommend this book Tom Holland does a very good job narrating this story. His voices are consistent and the emotions used make the story better than reading it yourself I received this audible from the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for an honest unbiased review. Could have been such more..... I struggled to finish it and that is saying a lot for me because I can read almost anythimg. I know it's a story about druids and magic but certain plot elements war completely unrealistic and it was all over the place to the point where sometimes you had a hard time following along painful narration. over emphasised. just horrible. I could not get past chapter three. a waste of money. The narration spoiled what could have been a good book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ascended-State-The-Ascendant-Series-Book-2-Audiobook/B010FX6CBM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: & cut When is the third book coming out! You left off at such a pivotal spot in the story... Very creative and I enjoyed the faster pace, the first book had a completely different tone Amazing concepts in this book Amazing concepts in this book. Take's a creative look at what our reality consists of, and a possible source of that reality. Read it in less than a day. Looking forward to the third book. Sounded good Odd direction to go with no apparent destination A great follow-up to the first book in the series A great follow-up to the first book in the series. Compelling plot full of thought-provoking concepts that stick with you long after you've finished the book. Ok for a short story Very short. Did a lot of leaping. Kool idea. More of a short story.

Members Reviews: Fresh, Original, and Fun Here comes a fresh, original take on the classic fantasy story in which every trope is twisted around. Marcus dies and is selected by God to become an super-human known as an Immortal, who must go on an epic quest to retrieve some mystic ancient artifact that will save the world, and must defeat plenty of evil along the way. Sounds like the same basic story that we've heard before, right? Well, this isn't. This story is set in modern times as opposed to historical or mythical times, so you'd think it would be urban fantasy ... except all the magic happens in their own magical realms. Also, the hero must be some nobody-turned-bigshot that all the other good guys treat with the utmost respect and help in however they can to complete his quest? Nope. The other good guys treat their magical titles about as seriously as clock-punching office jobs, and many skeptical and unwilling to help Marcus. And Marcus doesn't have a wise old mentor who gets killed in the second act. He has to do all of his training DIY, and it consists the exciting ancient art of ... reading. So the story is the same, but it's parts are inverted as much as possible. The world created is very interesting, with magical libraries that defy the physical laws of space, and over-the-top demons that are very entertaining. As for the lead character, Marcus is given enough depth for me to understand his motivations and see him as a guy that I would want to be fighting against evil. He knows his limitations in battle and compensates for that loss with his wits. My only real complaint was that the ending was fairly anticlimatic. However, due to the campiness of the rest of the book, I can't say that I was disappointed, and I guarantee that you won't be either.

Members Reviews: Great Conclusion to An Adventurous and Intriguing Saga In book three, the final piece of the Werecat Saga, we are introduced to some new characters... though we learned of them since book one. There is just as much action in this book, as the previous two. A few traitorous secrets have brought everything to this point. Secrets that bring the ferals and hyenas to the West. There is a huge battle coming and it will bring some unlikely creatures together as allies and will give many a sense of hope. There is a bit more love in this book, than the first two and the ending brings everything to conclusion. If you have read either of the other two books in the Werecat Saga, make sure you read book three to see how it all comes together and what happens to our beloved characters. Great read and as always, each book is an intense, quick read that leaves you wanting more (book three wraps everything up, but I always look for more when I get to know and love the characters...LOL) Book 3 After reading Nocturnal, I have to say that this one was my favorite and answered a lot of questions I had about the Ferals. There was non stop action and fighting in this installment along with personal discoveries. We are able to see Pippa and Abbey grow into their ferals, Jack's transformation into a nocturnal, and see Aidan and Salvatore change into their roles within the group. There are a few twists in this story as well as the cure is revealed. I did not want this one too end, I read it in one setting. I highly recommend this series to others. I would also love to see another story with this group. I received this as a gift from 711 Press. The doctor is dead and that's just the beginning of bad luck Jami Lynn Saunders does an excellent job taking the plot where you don't expect. You have to read the first two books to really get where one is going. The doctor who was the hope of a cure is dead, so it looks like humans are doomed to spend eternity as felines. But death doesn't come to the mutated humans just the same as alway, and the doctor evolves into a bat. The search goes on for a cure, but conspiracies and hardships continue. Another good fun read from the 711 press catalog. Nocturnal #3 werecat saga Great books loved them , this one needs better editing though.there are places where a sentence is stating something & then picks up in a partial sentence that 's coming afterwards. Decent Conclusion 'Nocturnal' is the last volume of 'Werecat' trilogy and wraps things up rather nicely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Endsinger-Audiobook/B00VMIX0II Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Scott Westerfeld) Members Reviews: I love these books~ I remember picking up the first book of this years ago and being wary. I was nervous for a lot of reasons: the Japanese influence, a female teen as a main character, a griffin... I really was completely unsure about how it would go. And I am SO glad I took the chance. This series had me emotional, and Yukiko is a protagonist that, while I may not wholly like her as a person, I absolutely LOVE her development as a character. She doesn't fall into the tropes that so many authors seem to default to simply because a character happens to be female, which is something I can most definitely appreciate. I love the world building, the infusion of magic and technology, and how the two, are to a point, not so different from each other. I won't get into details, that may lead into some spoiler territory, but it's a rich world, and it's not entirely based off of Japan, and we even see a little bit of a Russian influence! The characters are varied and unique, and the story is built with such care - there are things that are called to in the first book that come back to feature in this book. Everything was thought out and planned, and if there was anything that seemed shoe horned in at the last minute, I have a hard time finding it. The only critique I can give is that sometimes, some characters (usually the antagonists) feel cartoonish in how "bad" they're supposed to be, but it's never overplayed, though it can be slightly stereotypical. Samauri Jay is very lyrical in his writing. If that's not your thing, this isn't your book. He bring the world to life with his descrpitions, and the play on today's environment echoed in the plot is phenomenal. I was worried about the whole talk to animal super power, but it was so well done and perfect to the story that it made perfect sense. If say read it! Great series, easy read Great series, easy read. well wrote and lots of vivid detail and imagery. Nice blend of the Steampunk genre with Japanese culture. Recommended read for any fan of either steampunk or fantasy novels Dang This series was hard to get into at first because of all of the Japanese terminology, but it was worth it. The story wasn't all sunshine and roses. It was true and deep and the symbology is something that will leave you thinking for a while. I love this series and would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful ending to a tragically magnificent story The series was amazing. I always tell my daughter that every story deserves to be told no matter what it is sharing. I look forward to reading this one with her when she is older. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Spawn-of-Dyscrasia-Audiobook/B00UIBWGJY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is not science fiction unless the definition is stretched to breaking point. We never discover the underlying reasons for the protagonists being where they are, nor is there any attempt to describe the kind of dystopia that would condemn children to isolation on the basis of a single blood test. I listened to the whole thing expecting the 'science bit' but it never arrived. The narrator does an excellent job, and if you like love stories then I expect you would like this. A touching story of first love I loved this. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Echo-8-Audiobook/B00SVUYY6C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another Fantastic SciFi Romance! This is the third book Iâve read by Sharon Lynn Fisher, and Iâve devoured each one in large gulps and then looked around for more, only to realize Iâd have to wait for more new books to be published. This is one of those authors that I wish would write faster, I just canât get enough of her wonderful stories. They have all had unique worlds, storylines and fantastic characters in common, but otherwise stand on their own. This one involves Tess, a parapsychologist studying the phenomena known as Fades or Echos â people who come from an alternate Earth that was hit by an asteroid, throwing them to our Earth as beings of energy, who drain the life from anyone they touch, feeding on that life energy. When Jake, the man known as Echo 8, almost kills Tess but is able to stop before draining her, she is excited to realize that she might be able find a way to work with the Echoes to prevent more deaths. Of course Ross, the FBI agent assigned to protect Tess, isnât too happy about the situation, but as he and Tess work with Jake, they realize that the powers that be are trying to find a way to use the situation to their advantage. As the story progressed, questions were answered, glimpses into that parallel Earth were seen, and I began to wonder just how things could possibly be resolved. I loved the romance between Tess, the believer in all things paranormal, and the uptight, buttoned up FBI agent Ross, as they learned to trust each other and work together, as well as give in to their growing feelings. This was another thoroughly enjoyable story and I canât wait to see what this wonderful author comes up with next. A Fabulous Science Fiction Romance Read This is my favorite of Sharon Lynn Fisher's novels so far, which is saying quite a lot. Though she always provides readers with big surprises and unique twists in perspective, some of the hairpin turns in Echo 8 were amazing! I was totally caught up in this imaginative world--a Seattle not so different from the one I know but yet with some marked changes. The struggles and conflicts between the three main characters were so believable--and at key points in the story, either heart-pounding or heart-breaking. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Arcane-Savant-Audiobook/B00RM2M6GA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Smart Fantasy A pleasing mixture of fantastic magic and quasi-scientific steampunk told with a light hearted mood. Like many debut fantasies, the story is sometimes blogged down with exposition and explanations. However, the overall tale is worth it. Clever, fun, and inventive. Good story Story and plot was excellent, world building was amazing. No serious complaints, overall a decent book. Not sure what else to say, really. Wonderful storytelling!!! Would you listen to Arcane Savant again? Why? Loved listening to the story and will probably listen again when the next book in the series comes out. The narrator had a beautiful Irish accent and was excellent at telling the tale. What did you like best about this story? I enjoyed the fact that it was a mix of Harry Potter magic mixed with Steam-punk in a world that is pure fantasy. Also liked the idea of a young hero who is far from perfect, still mustering through his countless dilemma's to come out on top. Which scene was your favorite? My favorite scene was probably when the magic shop exploded and the main character makes his escape through the city. I felt as though I could almost see this like a movie in my mind. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? There was lots of humor in this rollicking adventure that kept me wanting more. The writer has done an excellent job of reeling the reader in and making them care about the young hero and the girl he loves. A lot of telling with not enough showing What would have made Arcane Savant better? The premise and characters are interesting but there is no real character development beyond some minimal development of the main character. Also it was more like someone telling me what happened rather than making me see it. Has Arcane Savant turned you off from other books in this genre? No. I love fantasy and while not the best book it did have some entertainment value. It seems like there could be a lot more from the author, a lot of potential, that isn't realized in this book. How could the performance have been better? I liked the narrators voice. I just had a hard time with a woman doing a male voice. Usually not an issue for me but I think maybe, because in some ways, the main character wasn't particularly masculine I kept getting confused as to who was talking. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment, there is potential it just isn't realized. Any additional comments? I would be curious about future work from this author but this initial stab was a bit disappointing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rudolph-Audiobook/B00QFW51M4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Narrated by Bernard Rosewood, one of the elves of the North Pole Consortium, the story begins with Santa's realization that a young girl's request to get her dad back for Christmas isn't going to happen. Dad, you see, died in a car accident on a snowy road shortly after Thanksgiving. The NPC can do a lot, but they can't do miracles. Enter Rudolph, who has been hairless, cranky, and perpetually irradiated since the unfortunate malfunction of the Nuclear Clock in 1964. Rudolph is a survivor of the worst accident in the 400-plus years of NPC delivery, and if there is anyone on staff who believes in miracles more than jolly Saint Nick, it's Rudolph. Bernie, in a valiant effort to keep Christmas from going off the rails, is swept up into a Heaven-storming, Hell-crusading, Night of Bad Musical Numbers adventure to ensure that every child wakes up with presents on Christmas morning. Rudolph! is a funny and fast-paced reaction to 50 years of world-weary cynicism, technological advances, and post-millennial ennui since Rankin/Bass brought a stop motion reindeer into our living rooms. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mark Teppo) Tue, 02 Dec 2014 10:07:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rudolph-Audiobook/B00QFW51M4 thebookvoice.com 10:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: BADASS SANTA WINS CHRISTMAS This book is totally badass and unexpected. I don't usually love books with awesome looking covers, but in this case it's ok to judge the book this way. ;) Five Stars love Five Stars a highly fun'tastic read.. :-) A hilarious holiday tale for adults!!!! If you are looking for a Holiday story and are wanting something a bit edgy and different, Rudolph! is the book for you. The story begins at the North Pole the night before the night before Christmas, where Santa is frantically searching the internet working to fulfill a last minute Christmas wish. Rudolph, Santa, Bernie the Elf and the rest of the reindeer team promptly set out on several no-holds-barred trips with the Mark V Sled, and of course the reindeer fly. They have a variety of high tech firepower and explosives that Rudolph and Company generously use in their encounters with Heavenly and Demonic Beings and even a few Bad Guys. The quirky characters will have you frequently chuckling with their witty banter. You should be warned that the story does have a couple of times where you may find yourself reaching for a tissue for "that" irritation in your eye. Rudolph! is a story of making miracles happen and the implications for fulfilling them. It is a story not to be missed this Holiday Season. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Beach-Blanket-Bloodbath-Audiobook/B00NLJ90D0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amanda Feral is back and I'm as giddy as a twisted school girl! 5 stars for a story that makes you wonder what kind of person you are for enjoying the twisted and warped mind of Mark Henry. I about wet my pants when I found out Mark Henry was writing 3 novellas to continue the misadventures of the gruesome threesome from his Amanda Feral series. Amanda, Wendy and Gil are on another road trip and they think their first stop will be quiet and peaceful but they should have known better. There is no such thing as peaceful when these three are involved. Golden go-go dancers, pageant queens, crazy annoying writer and Weresharks oh my. Mark has a way of finding anything and everything that is depraved, strange and oh so wrong. Beach Blanket Bloodbath gets The Crazy Booksellers stamp of approval for a novella that is a must read. Mark Henry does it again! Mark Henry has done it again. Amanda has returned and there is no holding her back. Apparently, you canât keep a good (if you can call her that) zombie down or quiet. Back on the road with Wendy and Gil, along with the addition of Abuelita, the now foursome continue to shock and awe at every turn. Markâs talent for melding snarky humor, gore, and sex makes for a delightfully decadent read. Whether you are just being introduced to Amanda or have followed her antics since Happy Hour of the Damned, you canât be disappointed with Beach Blanket Bloodbath, except maybe that there is not enough of it. Not to worry though, Amanda and the gang arenât finished yet. This is the first in a new trilogy of Amanda Feral novellas and I canât wait to see what or who they manage to get into next. A good time for all... except for those who got eaten Amanda is back, this time as the consummate starving artist. Minus the starving. Actually, she seems to stay pretty well fed. I guess that's one of the benefits of picking up your food behind the Safeway bottle return shed rather than inside the store itself. What I'm saying is; the girl eats even though she's beyond broke. Meanwhile Gil and Wendy are exploring new career opportunities, and I'm not sure Amanda is particularly happy about it, which means there's an extra layer of bitchiness on top of the already bitch-heavy layer cake that is Amanda Feral. God I love that bitch. There's so much packed into this little novella that I don't even know where to begin. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Starling-God-Audiobook/B00NFSBDAU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book with lovable characters As an bird lover, I can easily get into this book and imagine how my aviary of birds might act in like. Well written and with a deep message that is conveyed well through the eyes of birds. Worth the read and is good for all ages. Remembrance and Murmuration When Mentor Diver commends SLâan and the entire murmuration of young, eager starlings, the sage teacherâs words as if âreviveâ the acolyte bird. âInstead of making music with our voices,â Mentor Diver workshops his fledgling charges, âwe make music by the power of our union.â It is a âmusicâ we witness of the starling flockâs flight. It is a âpowerâ created when the birds fly as with the âsame wing beats,â so the âair-soundâ they each play together and as one realizes a âunionâ as if of the very godsâ were harmonizing. SLâanâs voice emerges during this âclassâ as a âstrange ringing out,â the young birdâs knowing without knowing that, with Mentor Diverâs tutelage, he is âseeing music instead of hearing it.â SLâan does not realize he must soon fly out into the world, alone, and actually live the sage philosophy Mentor Diver has illuminated. SLâan is the One, âchosenâ by starling lore, in fable, through tales passed down orally, as religion. He is growing into what he has learned, and must now experience that learning, both in the community of birds and alongside the society of people, embodying that knowledge he has always known, yet still needs remember. The idea of knowledge and remembering breathes light throughout Tanya Sousaâs first novel, The Starling God. Sousaâs vision illuminates a collective memory that has been forgotten, imparted, teacher to learners through the workâs first few chapters, as in the style of Ishmael, through lectures delivered by Mentor Diver, and as in a classroom, except outdoors in the starlingsâ native setting, like in Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. But unlike in those anthropomorphic classics, Sousa asks that the reader see along with SLâan, who must not only recall his forgotten, embodied memory, but he must actually experience the learning he does not yet know he knows. SLâan must both fulfill his individual destiny as well as help the entire community redeem the music inside of each individual starling. This music, Sousa shows, is of memory forgotten by all the birds. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Path-of-Anger-Audiobook/B00NB5C4C8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is the path of anger.... Members Reviews: brilliant Looking forward to number 2. The writing is exquisite, and well formed plots keep the reader captivated. Recommended to all. Stuggles to find its way Antoine Rouaud faces a real challenge in "The Path of Anger" which is: how do you write a likeable book about basically unlikeable characters? Unfortunately, I am not sure he is up to the challenge that he sets himself. The novel concerns a general and a boy, who become a drunk and a man over the course of the book. An empire falls, treachery abounds, love makes its presence felt in several forms, all as the action and plot moves back and forth across many years. It is this frequent movement across time and place that is one of the more obvious shortcomings of the novel however: the transitions can be jarring, even though they are handled in a surprising way: the shift is gradual, combining action and dialogue from each over several paragraphs until the move is complete. But this can be a bit confusing, and seems to serve no real purpose other than to handle the technique in a different way than is the norm. The other interesting narrative technique here is that the first half of the novel is devoted to the general, and the second half to the boy, and they each have very different and distinct perspectives on the same events. While this is interesting, I am not sure it is compelling, and doesnt seem to succeed except to reinforce the very unprofound idea that different people will see things differently. And that leads us to the primary flaw with the novel: neither of these very different characters is really very likeable. The general wallows in self pity and remorse for most of the novel, and the boy in anger and hate. Neither has much in the way of redeeming characteristics until the last quarter of the book. As a result, we really find it quite difficult to care what happens to them. With the rest of the plot being a bit contrived and a bit thin, there is just not that much here to really enjoy. Great fantasy debut 'The Path Of Anger' is a typical fantasy novel. It begins in an in, and as with many good stories, it's a dark and stormy night... Viola walks in with her mysterious protector and finds an old man she's been told is called Dune. When she discovers he's actually Dun-Cadal, the war hero she's heard a lot about, she persuades him to begin talking. The story jumps from the present, with Viola trying to get Dun-Cadal's help to find the sword of the Emperor, and the past, where he narrates some of his battles, and the events that lead to the fall of the empire. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Apocalyptic-Montessa-and-Nuclear-Lulu-A-Tale-of-Atomic-Love-Audiobook/B00MWB81JC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beauty and the Beast and the Beast and the Beauty, sort of... It's probably rude to start off by mentioning another author, but here I go. I recently discovered the writings of Laird Barron. At last,something new and different. I ran through his work like lightning and thought I would not find anything that good for a while. Along comes Mercedes M. Yardley and her seductively titled novella, "Apocalyptic Montessa and Nuclear Lulu: A Tale of Atomic Love." I began reading and I was stunned. First of all, her writing is to die for, her style and use of prose is like no other I have read. It is seductive and compelling, hypnotic even. As the tale began, I thought, "great, my favorite mythic theme, beauty and the beast." I actually cheered at Montessa's acceptance of her apparent fate, death at the whim of a serial killer. She baffles her abductor through her absence of abject terror and her refusal to beg for her life. Lulu, or Lu, as he is known at this point in the story, simply doesn't know what to make of this. So, Montessa = Beauty; Lu = Beast. Simple, right. I don't want to retell the whole story here. Through her extraordinary storytelling skills and her beautifully twisted psyche, Ms Yardley unwinds a story in which Lu,the Beast,brings out the Beast in Montessa and she brings our the Beauty in Lulu, as Montessa has now named him. That Yardley accomplishes this while telling the story of two serial killers is a literary feat the likes of which I have never before seen. This is brilliant prose, extraordinary storytelling. Hate, revenge, fear, sorrow, regret, tragedy and triumph are all woven skillfully into this glorious novella. I admit, it is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who fear the darkness in their own souls. It is for anyone who loves superb writing with a taste for the unusual. Think H. Ellison, Robert Bloch, et al. Think about reading something the likes of which you have never read before. I can't wait to get caught up with her other short stories. Her first novel is coming. It can't get here soon enough. Highest recommendation: don't miss this one! Absolutely astounding Life isnât always cut-and-dry. Sometimes, the most terrible of circumstances can directly lead to the most wondrous acts of creation. A personal tragedy can spur an artist to craft their lifeâs seminal work. Addiction can result in the addict steering an otherwise ill-fated existence onto a path of hopefulness. Society can rally around a national catastrophe, bringing people together, opening up pathways to communication and goodwill. This is true even on a cosmic scale, when something as violent as the Big Bang leads to the creation of life, itself. And sometimes, an abused woman and a serial killer can find love, because existence can be the darkest of jokes, whose punch-line is hidden beneath layer after layer of human frailty. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Shadow-Academy-Audiobook/B00MQ65SQM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As Mundy unravels the treachery and deceits behind the Authority, himself threatened and ultimately hunted by the ruthless Enforcer, Deadspike, the world of the dissident pagans and their hopes for freedom are cruelly tested. Events rush toward a fateful confrontation between the totalitarian Authority and the insurgents, culminating at the Midsummer festival and coinciding with a storm that will ultimately lead to tragedy. Members Reviews: I gradually grew to enjoy this book. 3 1/2 stars, rounded up. This book takes place in a future Grand Brittania after the Plague Wars have caused a worldwide collapse of civilization and dramatically reduced world population, while what little is known of what had happened is kept closely guarded, for the public's good, by the totalitarian Central Authority in Londonborough, which is concerned to protect GB from the expected Evropan invasion that has never comeâyet. The Historical Society does what it can in secret to find out and preserve what ancient knowledge it can, any way. The novel begins with a mysterious murder and coverup (It's SUICIDEâgot it? We know where your wife + kiddie live!) in the fortress-town school of Petra Dumnoniorum Academy, as the Way Things Are is gradually shown to the reader. There's quite a bit of hand-to-hand violence interspersed though out the book, along with some guns, and a bit of blackmail thrown in for good measure. More than a third of the way in, no spoilers, but something happened that for a little while had me wondering what kind of book this was. It hadn't seemed to be fantasy up UNTIL this point, and it's not. Although at first I found it hard to get into the book, partly because of the annoying PDF format provided, at some point I found myself drawn in, interested in the various characters, eager to learn more secrets. Another murder follows, cunningly blamed on the wrong people, to discredit them. Hidden knowledge must be unlocked. There's a clear split between the Christian Londonborough-based government who want knowledge controlled, and the outlying dissident heretical pagans who want to know as much as is possible about what REALLY happened before and during the Plague Wars. What exactly is the Daybreak project? (There's a tiny love interest, with a tiny triangle complete with crossed miscommunications, scarcely worth mentioning. If you like such stuff, it's thereâif not, it isn't large enough to detract from the whole.) The Epilogue, which is seemingly there to pull loose ends together, ends slightly abruptly. I gradually grew to enjoy the book, and so will rate it at 3 1/2 stars, rounded up. I'm still not entirely sure why it has the title it doesâ I received a free uncorrected proof advance reading copy (ARC) through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer Program. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Very-Maxie-Christmas-Audiobook/B00KX91YOY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very cute! Maxie just wants to be happy at Christmas and the same for her friends. When a little magic doesn't turn out the way she planned, Maxie feels disappointed. But the man with the white beard and jolly laugh gives her a Christmas she'll never forget. Cute Story The Maxie shorts are all very cute but I can't wait for a new Maxie book. This short is about about family and friends at Christmas and realising that what you think is best is not always the case. A cute and happy story. It's Okay Eh. Not good, not bad. A good fluff book to kill a few minutes time.I would not recommend it, but I don't hate it.

Title: Queen of the Amazons Author: Judith Tarr Narrator: Dawn Murphy Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Judith Tarr returns to the always fascinating character of Alexander the Great in this fantasy novel that springs from the legend that the Queen of the Amazons came to meet him in Persia, and became his friend. Hippolyta was Penthesilea, or Queen of the Amazons. She ruled as war leader and high priestess of a scattered tribe of women warriors who had dwelt on the high plains to the north and east of Persia for time out of mind. They were not isolated - travelers came and went through their territory, bringing news from the west, and carrying tales of the warrior women back home with them. But the Queen had a great grief in her life: her daughter and heir was a strange child. The girl had been born, so the Priestesses said, without a soul. And it was true that she was like no other child alive. She did not speak, and often seemed not to even see the people around her. She could not dress or feed herself, but she could ride and hunt like no other woman of the tribe. Many of the Amazons believed that the child must never be Queen, but that was a problem for a later time - Hippolyta was young and strong. Selene, the niece of the tribe's Seer, was put in charge of the child, to be her nursemaid and guardian. And it was a good, though sometimes difficult, life for many turns of the years. But then one day news came from the West of a new Conqueror, a young man who came out of Macedon with a spirit like flame, intending to rule the whole world. The Queen's daughter responded to the tale as a woman in the desert would to the sound of falling water. That very night she stole out of the camp and rode west. Selene could not stop her, and so she must follow, praying that the Queen would understand. Hippolyta herself followed the next day, and so they rode together, controlled by the child's compulsion, until they had crossed the mountains and entered into Alexander's Empire, and under the sway of Alexander's powerful personality. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Judith Tarr) Thu, 15 May 2014 02:35:56 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Queen-of-the-Amazons-Audiobook/B00KCCLI16 thebookvoice.com 11:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great setup to an anticlimactic finish Is there such a thing as plot-us interruptus? If so, then Tarr is definitely guilty. The first two thirds of this book were great, but just when you thought things were really going to heat up, someone lets the air out of the tires. Back up. OK, the book starts with the birth of a daughter to Hippolyta, the Queen of the scattered Amazon tribes. It should be a joyous occasion, but something is obviously wrong with the child - she has no soul. Even though the queen accepts this, she makes the child - unnamed, but called "Etta", or "that thing" - her heir anyway, sparking a rebellion led by her niece Phaedra. The first rebellion fails, and Phaedra is sent into exile. Then, Etta happens to hear about a new king in the west who has conquered Persia. The king is Alexander the Great, and Etta, still mindless and soulless but now with a purpose, is seized with a compulsion to find Alexander. Her mother and her guardian, a reluctant Seer named Selene, follow her. When they find Alexander, he is a likable, charismatic, sympathetic man who takes Etta in (rather like a pet). Alexander and Etta's fates are obviously intertwined, and Selene, who stays with his army to protect Etta, must figure out why and how - before the exiled Phaedra tries again to steal Hippolyta's throne. The twist in this book could have been brilliant - when it first happened, I was thrilled, figuring that NOW the fun would start. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ye-Olde-Idea-Shoppe-A-Fantasy-Short-Story-Audiobook/B00M9NUT7K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was pleasantly narrated and very cleverly written! Who was your favorite character and why? Abigail in the surprise 2nd story!!! Which character as performed by Maxine Lennon was your favorite? She was great all around! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I did giggle a bit!!! Any additional comments? ** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ** This was completely clever, and came with a surprise 2nd story! It takes a lot of talent to write short stories that are complete and well written....these 2 stories were both entertaining and left me wanting more of each...especially the 2nd one!!! Give this a listen, its quick and well worth your time! Great narration and story!!! Thank You, Audiobookblast(dot)com Fun Ye Olde Idea Shoppe is a timeless work that has fun with itself. The characters are all larger than life cartoons with emphasized qualities that made them enjoyable. The literal-ization of an idea shop is fun and done in such a way you want to visit yourself. It reminded me of the best qualities of a small book store, one in which you find yourself browsing longer than you intended on staying. The story is short but contained, letting the audience be satisfied with what they were given. There is actually a second story following Ye Olde Idea Shoppe, which is completely different in tone and equally engaging. A story about a woman with supernatural abilities in a domestic setting. It's a simple concept also executed wonderfully. I must say, the narration starts off a tad robotic, but once the story is in full stride the accent finds a pleasant groove. The free sample doesn't represent the quality of work in the full version. Ye Olde Idea Shoppe Any additional comments? This is an inventive little story about a shoppe that sells ideas.Maxine Lennon tells this story with flair.Sunshine works at the shoppe.Inventory is getting low.How to get new Ideas?"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast or MalarHouse dot com" More !! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would recommend this to a friend. There were 2 stories instead of one and both were well written and very enjoyable. Who was your favorite character and why? Abagail. I would love to read more about her powers and life. Have you listened to any of Maxine Lennons other performances before? How does this one compare? This is the first time I have listened to her and I really liked her accent and how she brought the characters to life. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I didn't want it to end and wish the author would write more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Drawing-Dead-Audiobook/B00LMGKE16 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Vampires and poker - a deadly combination This story is a good example of the classic make a deal with the devil theme. It was well written, well performed and entertaining, Vampires And Poker What about Alex Hyde-Whites performance did you like? Mr. Alex Hyde-White knows how to keep a listening audiences interest. With his many voices and suspenseful in tune characters, he makes your audio book listening experience top notch. Any additional comments? Eddie Nelson has an online gambling addiction that will bring him to the ultimate poker game. If you like poker, and you like a different sort of twist on the vampire story, then you will enjoy this listen. This is the underground world of gambling, where not everyone will walk away alive. "Drawing Dead," the perfect title. Vamps & Vegas What made the experience of listening to Drawing Dead the most enjoyable? The final poker game. What other book might you compare Drawing Dead to and why? I'm going to skip this question for now. Nothing is coming immediately to mind. Which character as performed by Alex Hyde-White was your favorite? Eddie Nelson, the main character. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Nope. But that's OK. Any additional comments? The story is told using a few flashbacks to bring the reader up to date on how Eddie Nelson got to this deplorable state. A Brit, he and his girlfriend came to Las Vegas for a vacation. He returned home to nurse his blossoming addiction for on-line poker. That on-line addiction grew to playing in live tournaments. Soon, he was playing professionally, and living by himself. Fast forward to present day and Eddie has been on a losing streak for weeks now. Hes out of money, considering who he can call to wrangle a plane ticket home when a sketchy stranger buys him a beer. Raphael wants to stake him in a high-stakes game. If Eddie wins, he gives half his winnings to Raphael. If he loses, then Eddie has to do Raphael a favor and play in a private poker tournament. This tale started off a little slow for me and I think that is because I dont play poker and some of the lingo was lost on me. There was a quick run down of game rules and terms at the beginning of the book, but such a list is hard to absorb in audio form. Anyway, the story does pick up with the flashbacks of Eddie spiraling into the poker addiction whirlpool. I really enjoyed watching Eddie go from a winning high to another high to another high and then the bum of a loss, and then another loss, and finally to the point where Raphael finds him. And I guess I am free to talk about the Las Vegas vampire aspect since there is line about these poker vampires in the books description. The vampires dont show up until about half way through the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Jane-Audiobook/B00LGVZS6I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Blaylock Narrator: Christopher Ragland Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: A suddenly appearing curiosity shop owned by a small man who might, or might not, be the Man in the Moon; a pair of strange spectacles buried in a fishbowl full of marbles; an old window glazed with sea-green glass found beneath a suburban house; and two adventurous boys who but the spectacles and climb through the window into a land of goblins, ghosts and rope ladders that reach to the moon. Who exactly is Mr Deener, the fat man who makes magic out of bits of coloured glass, has a passion for glazed doughnuts, and whose seeming twin brother sleeps fitfully in an attic room? And who are the little men that rise out of the forest on windblown sycamore leaves in order to whisper into Mr Deener's ear? Is Mr Deener, like a fallen humpty Dumpty, broken apart? John and Danny need to know. To find their way home they'll have to put Mr Deener back together again and solve the mystery of the sleeping land - a task that leads them to the pool of reflections in the deep woods and ultimately to a house built of light and magic and memory that sits at the edge of the heart's ocean...

What did you like best about Vegas Knights? What did you like least? I picked this one up because I liked the narrator sample. It was easy getting into the story. Vegas is usually fun. The gambling part was interesting but there was not much of it. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) You could see it coming for at least the last third of the book. Have you listened to any of Peter Brookes other performances before? How does this one compare? I was not a previously familiar with the narrators work Was Vegas Knights worth the listening time? In my scale any book over two stars is worth the time and this one was okay Any additional comments? Authors sometimes take too long to get to the point and that is how I felt about this book. The narrator kept me interested and since the title was Vegas Knights it would have been better with more Vegas and less about trying to escape from the bad guy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Walking-the-Tree-Audiobook/B00IYX28BO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a fantastic book in the classic Quest format that recalls some of the best work by author Robert Silverberg. However, better than Silverberg: Walking the Tree is a decidedly tender, smart and empathic book. The encounters among various societies and "ways of being" are very eye-opening, and the world created by Warren is quite beguiling. I hope to visit it again! While there could have been even more cultural variation among the various tribes, Warren balances sex-positive female characters with realistic views of both feminist and terribly chauvinistic societies. The ways in which conversation, child-rearing, and sexuality emerge among the characters is fascinating. Also, the characters grow and change in such subtle ways that they're quite different by the end of the book, before one even notices. The novella at the end â a bonus of the story written from the pov of another character is quite boring, but the main event so to speak, the novel itself, is fantastic. Fantastic world building and adventure This is the third book by Kaaron Warren that i have read (see my earlier reviews of "slights" and "Dead sea fruit") and i think this book really showcases here huge imagination. The fantasy world she has built in this book is mind blowing and epic, the characters live on an island called Botanica which is dominated by a vast tree which takes up nearly the whole island and effectively rules thier lives. The people are spread out in tiny villages on the edge of the island where they live and every few years the young women and children are sent out to "walk the tree" and go the whole way around the island visiting the different communities and interacting with them. This book deserves at least three stars just for being so inventive and original, one of the reasons i don't read much fantasy anymore is because the genre is flooded with imitations of great books. So Tolkien had dragaons, wizards and quests and now there are thousands of books with stories about dragons and wizards and quests. This book really breaks the mold and you should read it just for that reason but the story line is a great slow burner as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys having their imagination given a good workout and wants something different than the ususal stale fantasy fluff. Just be aware that it is a slow burner so you have to be patient and let the story develop but when it does you won't be dissapointed. Astonishing, immediate, gripping. This is quite an astonishing read. Kaaron breaks all the so-called rules of writing but does it with such finesse that you can't put it down due to the uncanny sense of immediacy. I did not enjoy the morbid cultural acceptance of all kinds of cruelty, but it is only a partial aspect and the main character is able to stand against this. Perhaps the intention is to make the reader squirm just as Lillah does; if so, then it's a success. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Ark-of-Humanity-Audiobook/B00HW2YCUS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hey Hey I really book and make think about life after the flood and out in the ocean. Joy of the Lord is our strength. Good character development the story had good character development but the storyline could have ran smoother. such an intense concept maybe should have been best conveyed in a trilogy. Adventure What an adventure at the bottom of the sea. Believing in what you can't see and coming together for humanity all in one book. so glad I made this choice. AWESOME A true unique idea. The book flows well and is an excellent read. Alternate History An interesting approach to the story of the flood in an alternate-history kind of way. Definitely worth a read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Renaissance-of-Hetty-Locklear-Audiobook/B00HPX7QUM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

So here I am having just finished TEMPERED, at nearly 5am. Was it worth it? Oh, yeah. It absolutely was. As a preface, please note that this series CANNOT be read out of order. You must start with book one, Tarnished. And I absolutely recommend this series. Another thing to keep in mind is that as I read each book, I'm more and more hooked. That is to say it is like the long con; while appearing slow at first, it builds with intensity at increasing speeds with each book. The end of the previous book, Corroded, I had absolutely no clue where the story was going to go. Cherry is so addled, so betrayed, so utterly drowning to the depths, that I was curious to see how the following events would play out. As usual, I went into this book with high expectations but no assumptions of what would happen (except for seeing Hawke naked) and was happily taken on a roller coaster with so many twists and turns I was blown away. Secrets revolving around Cherry's parents and past, and her mysterious guardian, Oliver Ashmore, are brought to the forefront in this novel. I was hungry for answers, and it didn't disappoint. And, I must admit that despite everything that is revealed, I do have quite a soft spot for Ashmore. I absolutely loved the journey Cherry goes through in this book-her journey to become sober, and her journey of self. She's an absolutely broken women as the novel opens, truly becoming the Fool, and with a new beginning in her grasp. I am DYING for the next book because (Hawke) although not a cliffhanger (there's a natural swell and crest of a solid storyline), I feel as if I've been raised to the top of the next hill on the roller coaster and am anticipating the next ride. Getting Better & Better After the previous book I was worried; the ending was rushed and, to me, frustratingly off kilter. However, there is no need to worry! This book was brutal in its portrayal of Cherry going through drug withdrawl and took an honest look at her, ugly parts and all. One of the top strengths of this series is the willingness of the author to give us a flawed, almost tragically damaged, heroine. I never know if Cherry will be strong, will fall apart, or run away. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Deeds-of-Men-Audiobook/B00HG1JPXO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Stephen King) Members Reviews: Snowblind This was a fantastic story really creepy, the snow storm comes and so does the evil that lurks in the snow,the description of the evil things that come with the storm really had me creeped out,i just thought what a fantastic story I could picture everything, again another book that would make a fab film. Listen during a cold winter! I found this book a really good listen. It evoked a cold bitter winter very successfully and I found the demons/ice monsters believable. I found that the mix of characters was slightly confusing and had to concentrate at times but overall I loved it. Good when it got going!! Would you listen to Snowblind again? Why? Maybe in the future sometime. What was one of the most memorable moments of Snowblind? It was touching to have your lost loved missed one come back but the Icemen are scary !! Which scene did you most enjoy? The guy with daughter Anna and playing with her near the end. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? BEWARE THE ICEMEN!!! Any additional comments? Good book when it got going !! Chillingly Atmospheric As a terrific snow storm rages over a town, various people disappear. Twelve years later, another storm hits.... will more residents disappear or will some be seen again for the first time since the last storm? awsome. defo recommend bit of a slow starter but if you can hang on in there it eventually picks up amd then you can't put the dam thing down! excellent ending!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wail-of-the-Banshees-Audiobook/B00GSXA0D0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A refreshing change from zombies Disclosure: I received this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review While zombie stories are all the rage right now, this is the story about a "new" ghost, Veronika, who quickly learns this isn't the afterlife she'd imagined. Talk about culture shock... getting used to the various creatures she encounters is a whole new experience. Veronika is in her early twenties at the time of her demise and the narrator does a great job of giving this sassy twenty-something a voice. This story and narration reminded me alot of Ellen Muth's character in the TV series "Dead Like Me" (about another twenty-something who finds herself amongst reapers and other unsavory characters). Fun audiobook for folks who enjoy listening to irreverent ghost stories. Lady ghost takes on supernatural nasties. Veronica Cain is a tough lady ghost, who kicks some serious supernatural butt. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. Ms. Boling is an excellent narrator. If I didn't know better, I would think Veronica herself was reading the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fortress-of-Lost-Worlds-Audiobook/B00GMPQN7Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Rypel pushes up the action and carnage in this book. The greater plot concerning multiple worlds, hinted at in the Deathwind Trilogy, is made explicit here and developed in typically cool fashion. Good, good stuff that should be on every S&S fan's shelf (or in their e-reader) I want to find this book! I read the other listed books of this author, which are just great, and I want to find the last one to satisfy my curiosity and complete my collection!

Schlaudecker has proven her skills as a writer with this book. I will be reading more of her work. As a fan and visitor of Scotland, England and Orkney, this was a fascinating read. The story progressed in such a manner that it was hard to put down and the characters literally sprang to life in my mind. Even though the time line is from King Arthur's crowning this book is not over run with historical facts that are not pertinent to the story. One of the best books I have bought and well worth more than the current price!! From a true storyteller! Mayhawk: Rising by Nicole Kay Schlaudecker is an exciting story that quickly draws the reader into the action. The author has created an Arthurian tale populated by interesting characters and does a good job making us care about them. She also uses drama and action to keep us turning the pages. Her greatest strength may be setting scenes and moods that convey a sense of the period, making the reader feel like we are there. Looking forward to more from Schlaudecker. Recommended read. I received this copy in order to write an honest review Very enjoyable read I really enjoyed this read and I really do want to know what happens next from this author's point of view. I want to read the next chapter of Arthur and Gawain and Merlin. The writing style flowed well and reminded me somewhat of Jack Whyte's style, which I enjoy, but more condensed. I personally liked the use of the Scots language for Gawain and his countrymen. A good read! Amazing story From start to finish, this is a beautifully told tale that captures the essence of the period as it transports readers back to King Arthur's beginnings. I recommend this book to anyone who has a love of Arthur, historical fiction, or just a brilliantly crafted read. Good read I enjoyed this look at the legend of Aurthur. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Fall-of-Awesome-Audiobook/B00G93VD80 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Fall of Awesome Subtitle: A Tale of Super City Author: Andrew Pain Narrator: Jarman Day-Bohn Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-13 Publisher: Andrew Pain Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The Super Squad is the Premier Hero team in Super City. For years they have maintained peace and order under the lead of the most powerful hero in the world - Captain Awesome. But everything hasn't been smooth sailing inside the team and when part of their past comes back to challenge them, the greatest hero must face his greatest challenge. Members Reviews: An awesome fall into enjoyment The Fall of Awesome is a fun romp through the often-overlooked world of superhero fiction. TFoA takes a look at a regular person's foibles when he is given super-human abilities. This once-ordinary guy is now the world's most powerful being - or so it appears - and his facade of super heroism is cracking. This super being is susceptible to the same very human traits as you and me; jealousy, anger, disappointment, temptation, greed, and employing and falling prey to deception. When a being has all the power he wants and is generally known for doing Good... what becomes of him when he harbors all those terrible Human emotions? The Fall tells the story of Awesome's descent into normalcy amidst a very strange and dangerous assault on his city by a new bad guy, seemingly bent on the takedown of all the heroic Supers in the city. The story is good, generally well written with the occasional "oh, that must be explained in other stories" gap in intrinsic knowledge, and is a fun, light read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Thads-Mistakes-Audiobook/B00F2JP1GC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Goodman is quickly becoming a favorite Indie read This book is heartfelt, intriguing and warm. This book is the most human sci-fi book I've ever read. A father willing to take his life to save his daughter's, ends up being transported into a robot of his own making. Throughout the story, we get to experience the father's regrets, hopes and fears firsthand as he races against the clock to save his mortality and to, again, save the life of his daughter. Truly heartfelt but also extremely sensitive, this book will be a "read again" for me, which is huge since the "to read" list keeps growing. T.R. Goodman is quickly becoming a favorite Indie read. Give this wonderful book a read and a review. It's well worth it. What is in a name? Could use a better title. Very Unique and worth the read for sure Really unique story! It was a little strange - but definitely keeps your interest from beginning to end. Very steam punk fiction. If you don't know what that means you just have to read it because I can't even explain it. The entire story is very creative and inventive and has mysteries you probably will not completely figure out until the end. I really enjoyed it. This tale was a delight! I can see it as a TV special ... This tale was a delight! I can see it as a TV special event someday. ;) Just the final chapters seem to have missed the editor's eye..lots of misused words popped up. Still I loved the story as a new fairy tale to treasure. Goodman is quickly becoming one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk authors T.R. Goodman is quickly becoming one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk authors. His otherworldly stories are infused with humanity in a way that one quickly cares and wants to know more about his characters. A truly talented writer, Goodman creates characters who are neither black nor white, neither likable or loathable, but very human, flawed and interesting. My Name Is Michael Bishop is a book that deals with very tough issues: loss, mourning and the lengths people will go for their children. The main character muses on the lengths he will go for his daughter when a mysterious magical illness threatens to take her life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Deathless-Audiobook/B00CP6XAUE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enthralling and an excellent reading Where does Deathless rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I'm not a huge fan of magical fantasy, but Deathless is a definite exception. What was one of the most memorable moments of Deathless? The main female character, throughout the story. So human, despite her surroundings. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? A literally warts-and-all re-imagining of life as it is lived when magic infuses the world. Any additional comments? Valente invokes the old style of fairytales without sounding clichéd. Original and thoroughly enjoyable. This is one audio-book that I am very likely to listen to again. So much happens and the reading is so enjoyable. A real pleasure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Anadi-Dolls-Audiobook/B00BSEDQLC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's been a while since I've read/listened to this, so bear with me... This was my first audio book ever, and it did not disappoint. I really emphasized with the main character, and the narration was clear, with very good voices for the eperu (neuter) characters. There's a twist ending, but I personally liked it. It shows how complex the main character is, and how difficult the situation that they were born into is. Rounding out the Jokka world The sweetness of this tale is definitely offset by the brutal awareness of the main character's place in the world, which hovers over every word. The ending is happy, yet there's a shadow over it because of the struggle that we witness in the main character's heart and mind. It is a very good tale, and if you enjoy the Jokka, or are looking for a place to begin to learn, I would recommend this story. Heart-Tugging and Engaging A late night whim that I deeply enjoyed, even if it was the bittersweet sort of looking in that the Jokka series always gives. A wonderful tale, but not a pick-me-up or a good introduction for new viewers, so start with The Worth of a Shell if you're new to this world. Twisty Jokka Tale This particular tale starts out in a way that's unexpected for the Jokka stories, with an anadi who was happy to be anadi, and upset that she wouldn't be any more, and finishes with a *different* unexpected twist at the end. The *only* reason this one gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the twist seemed sort of abrupt when I'd been expecting/hoping for something else, though after mulling it over a little, it makes sense, and I think it fits well into the world the author has built with previous stories. (And for some reason I can't put my finger on, I find it utterly charming that Jekun ended up in the garden. It seems fitting somehow.) A Beautiful Read As a long-time fan of the Jokka stories, this is one I've been waiting for a long time to read and it was well worth it. This is a very different look at these alien people, reversing many of the common themes in this setting. I read Jekun's story with a lump in my throat the whole way through and more than a little bit of envy by the end. If you've been reading the Jokka stories, this one sheds more light on these wonderful people and is well worth the read! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Conqueror-Worm-Audiobook/B00BM7HKF8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Syrie James, best-selling author of The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen) Members Reviews: I was a bit disappointed as I thought it was about Bigfoot more so ... The book is well written but does not really deliver on the title. It is more a tale of this professor's trek across the country with his students checking up on various legends and paranormal creatures, etc. They never really get into any real investigating but more so talking to witnesses and listening to stories, and the only brush they have with danger comes from other humans. I was a bit disappointed as I thought it was about Bigfoot more so than all of this other stuff. Good writing, but the title misrepresents the book. Amazing journey Jeremy Fishleder sees a six-foot tall creature with silver gray, extremely long fur and a smell bad enough to bring tears to his eyes as a child. This sighting ignites a lifelong passion in cryptozoology. When the university where he teaches decides his class is no longer science, he takes a sabbatical and begins a journey that will change his view on life in general. ike Robinson pens a compelling tale that draws the reader into the world of Forteans, people who search for Bigfoot, the Skunk Ape, or Chupacabra among many other creatures. The story isn't just about finding these creatures, but also finding one's self. I found myself drawn into the tale, at times laughing, or gasping with horror, or even crying as Robinson examined human frailty along with many theories of what these creatures are and why they are among us. Skunk Ape Semester is one of those books where I moved outside my comfort zone, and I'm glad I did. This isn't a story for the faint of heart, and all of those with a good deal of disbelief will cast it aside, but if you have a yearning for the mythic fabled and adventure, you'll love this story. Not really about Bigfoot at all. When I first began this book, I thought I knew where it was headed, which was squarely off into the realm of fantasy or perhaps magical realism. It took me until I had read about half to realize that this was actually NOT a work of fantasy, but rather a literary novel about a small group of people using the pretext of a search for a mythical creature to discover important facts about themselves as individuals. Therefore, I don't think it will give anything away to say they never actually find Bigfoot. This is not so much a novel as a series of vignettes chronicling the road trip of this intrepid band of cryptid hunters. Their fearless leader, Jeremy Fishleder is clearly the mouthpiece of the book's author, serving as a way for Mr. Robinson to offer up his own musings on Life, the Universe, and Everything.

But there are military scholars familiar with Dardas's tactics - scholars who may hold the key to stopping his army. Members Reviews: Great start to a new series The various city-states in the Isthmus have never known wholesale war but that is about to end. The ruler of Felk, Lord Motokin has planned for years to conquer the city- states and become Emperor of the Isthmus. He amassed a large army and trained in his own college a group of powerful wizards who would give that army instant transportation and communications. He places them under the command of a two hundred and fifty year old general remembered in the history books as Dardas the Butcher. The city states of Windal, Callah and Sook fall immediately and the entire population of U'delph are killed, the city leveled to the ground. Although Dardas knows he needs periodic rejuvenation spells from a wizard under Motokin's command, the general is plotting to turn the magician's loyalty towards him. However, there are plans in the works from an assortment of people to stop this madness. One man is raising up a resistance in Callah while the leader of the powerful city-state Petgrad is trying to unite the city states so there's a chance they can win against the horde that is coming for them. This story is told from the perspective of many individuals including a mercenary, a scholar, a collaborator, a resistance fighter and Dardas. Once the reader adjusts to the changing points of view, the transitions between these various viewpoints are smooth and makes for a fascinating reading experience. With the exception of the collaborator and the general who are deliberately made despicable, the audience will like the other characters and feel close to them. That Robert Asprin and Eric Del Carlo can accomplish such a feat is a testament to their tremendous talent. Harriet Klausner A rare miss for Asprin Robert Asprin is a great writer. That being said, I didn't love this book. It just wasn't my cup of tea. While it had good writing, it never spoke to me. Which is odd since most of Asprin's books hit me like a bullet right between the eyes. Worth a read I am a huge fan of Robert Asprin's, ever since my Uncle handed down the Myth series books. I was excited to see a new series from him, and was drawn into the story. I do have to agree, though, with the "6 mini stories" in the book. I sometimes had to go back to figure out where that character left off... which got frustrating at times. However, I still enjoyed the story, and while the theme has been done before, the style of writing that the authors use makes it unique. Recommended Very interesting.. I read this book about a year ago and since then I have been anxiously waiting for the next book in the series. I won't go into plot, but I will tell you this, the ending will force you to buy the next book in the series. Very intriguing use of Magic and politics in this book. It's not "Game of Thrones", but its a quick and dirty read. 4 out of 5: Very good book for the weekend.

Robert Cargill takes us beyond the veil, through the lives of Ewan and Colby, young men whose spirits have been enmeshed with the otherworld from a young age. This brilliantly crafted narrative - part Neil Gaiman, part Guillermo Del Torro, part William Burroughs - follows the boys from their star-crossed adolescences to their haunted adulthoods. Cargill's tour-de-force takes us inside the Limestone Kingdom, a parallel universe where whisky-swilling genies and foul-mouthed wizards argue over the state of the metaphysical realm. Having left the spirit world and returned to the human world, Ewan and Colby discover that the creatures from this previous life have not forgotten them, and that fate can never be sidestepped. With sensitivity and hopeful examination, Cargill illuminates a supernatural culture that all too eerily resembles our own. Set in a richly imagined and constructed world, complete with its own richly detailed history and mythology, Dreams and Shadows is a deeply engaging story about two extraordinary boys becoming men. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (C.

Members Reviews: dark and tragic but wonderfully written this story seems disjointed at the start. separate tragically horrible short stories beginning what turns out to be an excellently written plot and memorable characters Loving it Nearly finished this audiobook, and absolutely loving it, I only listen in small blocks to make the whole experience last longer! Good story, well read. Demonic Pixies There is a veil between this world and the supernatural world of fairies, pixies, goblins etc. It's not a case of pretty wee flower fairies at the bottom of the garden, it's Tinkerbell in major psycho beastie mode and drunk angels on the rampage. A baby is swapped with a changeling shortly after its birth and the two boys' lives are followed to adulthood. Avoid at all costs What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Nothing Would you ever listen to anything by C. Robert Cargill again? Never Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Vikas Adam? Anyone If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dreams and Shadows? All of them Any additional comments? Quite possibly the worst book I've ever suffered through, performed in an affected fake accent punctuated by falsetto screeching. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Conan-La-Fenice-sulla-lama-Conan-The-Phoenix-on-the-Sword-Audiobook/B00BAXPIQC Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> Titolo: Conan - La Fenice sulla lama [Conan - The Phoenix on the Sword] Autore: Robert Ervin Howard Narratore: Stefano Volpe Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 33 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 02-05-13 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Riepilogo Editore: Dal genio di Robert E.

Members Reviews: An engaging story, sensitively told I had looked forward to this book being released in Kindle format but unfortunately this didnt happen (as of this date, anyhow). A mixed blessing, perhaps, as the audio version is superb. Whether this is a fantasy or fictional novel is a debatable point but matters little as, what struck me the most, is the excellence of the writing. The storyline is simple enough, concerning a family transplanted from somewhere else to the United States. It recounts the familys impressions of everyday life in Reno, Nevada over many years, contrasting and comparing their own foreign traditions and beliefs with those of the ordinary people around them. The book is witty and thoughtful but not particularly judgemental; the latter being left to the readers discretion. A highly recommended read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Poisoned-Lands-Audiobook/B00APNCSJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Totally Hilarious! What if you had a knight with less alturistic nobility & more profit motive? Not a mercenary;just a guy looking for a peaceful way to make a buck.Having read chapters published in(if I recall correctly)the 'Flashing Swords!' anthologies edited by Lin Carter I just had to see how the story ended. I was not disappointed.Highy suggested. Not classic but still enjoyable There aren't any wars going on and local monsters have been pretty well subdued. So when his magician-instructor offers Eudoric Dambertson a deal--knighthood and his daughter for two yards of dragon skin, Eudoric agrees. He sets off on a quest that doesn't quite turn out the way he intends--ending up in prison for hunting season violations--but learns some valuable lessons along the way. One of the most basic lessons concerns women. Eudoric has problems with women. He'd like to get married, have a loving relationship, but the woman he gets interested in either run off with someone else, or come with dangerous entanglements. Spurned by his first love, Eudoric decides to make his fortune building a stagecoach line, offering shock-absorbed comfortable journeying to horse-weary travellers. In a magical world where enterprise is often scorned and where getting a business franchise is difficult, Eudoric doesn't find it an easy task--in fact, he's sent off after more monsters. Eudoric may not be the bravest or most noble guy around, but he's smart and manages to twist things in his own favor. Authors L. Sprague and Catherine Crook de Camp take a twist on traditional heroic fantasy. Rather than a muscled and empty-headed hero with women falling around him, Eudoric has problems with women, uses his head rather than his thews, and goes for pragmatism rather than heroics any day. It makes for an amusing story and Eudoric is an interesting character who insists on learning from what happens to him and making the best of the opportunities that come his way. Sprague de Camp has created several of the masterpieces of SF/Fantasy and INCORPORATED isn't in that category. But it is an enjoyable read. In search of an Honest Living Set in a far corner of de Camp's Novaria world, The Incorporated Knight follows the attempts of Eudoric Dambertson to succeed in his world not by becoming a knight of reknown and fame, but by becoming a businessman of good stature, a goal looked down apon by his contemporary's, who believe the proper knight is a muscle-bound, sword swinging bone-head who's main aims in life are wenching and deeds of valor. His first attempt to win into a family with spurs and commercial bindings pits him to recover a few yards of dragon hide. Which he does, it's through a miss-chance involving gun powder and the law, which disagrees with poaching dragons out of season and throws him in the slammer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Window-Audiobook/B0096PAJGA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was fun, lighthearted, had entertaining adventures and I just smiled and had fun, while I was listening to it. That Ah-tee-wa, is one funny Anasazi! As a reference, this book sort of reminded me of an Indiana Jones story and come to think of it, this story would be a fun movie, too.

Title: Some Kind of Fairy Tale Author: Graham Joyce Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-12 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Some Kind of Fairy Tale is a very English story. A story of woods and clearings, a story of folk tales and family histories. It is as if Neil Gaiman and Joanne Harris had written a fairy tale together. It is Christmas afternoon and Peter Martin gets an unexpected phone call from his parents, asking him to come round. It pulls him away from his wife and children and into a bewildering mystery. He arrives at his parents house and discovers that they have a visitor. His sister, Tara. Not so unusual you might think, this is Christmas after all, a time when families get together. But 20 years ago, Tara took a walk into the woods and never came back - and as the years went by with no word from her, the family, unspoken, assumed that she was dead. Now she's back, tired, dirty, dishevelled, but happy and full of stories about 20 years spent travelling the world, an epic odyssey taken on a whim. But her stories don't quite hang together, and once she has cleaned herself up and got some sleep, it becomes apparent that the intervening years have been very kind to Tara. She really does look no different from the young women who walked out the door 20 years ago. Peter's parents are just delighted to have their little girl back, but Peter and his best friend, Richie, Tara's one-time boyfriend, are not so sure. Tara seems happy enough, but there is something about her... a haunted, otherworldly quality. Some would say it's as if she's off with the fairies. And as the months go by, Peter begins to suspect that the woods around their homes are not finished with Tara and his family.... British narrator John Lee has read audiobooks in almost every conceivable genre, from Charles Dickens to Patrick O'Brian, and from the very real life of Napoleon to the entirely imagined lives of sorcerers and swashbucklers. He has won numerous Audie Awards and AudioFile Earphones Awards, and he was named a Golden Voice by AudioFile in 2009. Lee is also an accomplished stage actor and wrote and co-produced the feature films Breathing Hard and Forfeit. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Graham Joyce) Wed, 25 Jul 2012 00:17:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Some-Kind-of-Fairy-Tale-Audiobook/B008L47ZO6 thebookvoice.com 09:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I couldn't stop listening. I was hypnotized. Who was your favorite character and why? Tara. What about John Lees performance did you like? The narration was so good, I hardly noticed it. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The characters. Any additional comments? Download it. Your imagination will thank you. Excellent writing and great narration 'Some Kind of Fairy Tale' is such a beauiful audiobook. It is well writen, with vivid discriptions of both scenery and characters alike. John Lee's melodious voice brings added depth to the story that could probably not be achieved in print. Both the writer and he reader carry you away quickly into the tale, capturing your imagintion, and making you not want to press the pause button! A real page turner I really enjoyed this book. Loads of mystery and a rivetting "read" which I recommend highly. Only a couple of things bothered me: Firstly there were a lot of Americanisms in a book based in the English midlands: trunk instead of boot; schoolyard for playground were a couple. A minor point but it did grate a little. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Chasing-the-Dragon-Audiobook/B006P556IU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The daughter of Polish immigrants growing up in the 1830s on the Missouri frontier, Nadya knew she was not like other girls. But when she became a woman and the Change came, she discovered just how different she was. For Nadya was a shape changer, a werewolf like her Polish immigrant mother and father before her. After coming through a great personal tragedy brought about by her trusting nature and burgeoning sexuality, Nadya heads west to California, seeking a place to be wild and free. Nadya befriends the more cultured Elizabeth and the prepubescent Jenny, and together, the three young women fight their way across the vast American frontier. En route, they encounter rattlesnakes, Indians, the remains of the cannibalistic Donner party, and Elizabeth's repressed sexuality, which leads to an affair between her and Nadya. Critic Reviews: With its strong heroines and passionate storyline filled with romance, adventure and dangers both physical and moral, this novel will appeal to a wide array of readers. (Publishers Weekly) Based on thorough research, featuring convincing characterizations, and sparked by a page-turning pace (despite the fact it is so richly detailed that you want to slow down now and then), this is a comprehensively excellent yarn.

Review of The Last of the Wilds Having read the first in the series, and being familiar with Canavan's other series, the Black Magician Trilogy, it was easy to draw parallels between the two story lines. Both featuring girls of a poor, unassuming background being elevated at a remarkable rate through both hard work and determination to a position of respect and power. A position that is then challenge, in this case by Auraya's discovery that the things she loves the most aren't all that they seem. The naration is very good and clear with a good use of different accents to give the different species and races their own identity and it also makes it easy to follow who is speaking. A very enjoyable story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Regional-Office-Is-Under-Attack-Audiobook/B076XFJ79H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Certainly uncertain Characters that often name three or four feelings before settling - well, not always - on one. Descriptions of actions that may or may not have happened. Vague references to never detailed inter dimensional and magical battles, while the characters spend most of their time in New York City, small town Texas, or unknown earthly locations. Well written enjoyable read about (mostly female) guardians of the earth that leaves one wanting more. Promising, but unfulfilled This strange novel can be entertaining at times, but it's ultimately frustrating and pointless. Decent escapism This had an imaginative structure and premise, and plenty of action scenes. Somehow, I still didn't get into it. Maybe the next book by this author will be more to my taste... Unique time hopping melancholy mystical fantasy I liked it a lot though I'm not sure I understand it! Witty and self-aware, back and forth in time and thru various characters' eyes, there is something fresh and refreshing about the writing and the experience of reading this. A real treat! Good idea, bad execution The book is original and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately the characters are undeveloped, so you never care about them. The narrative constantly shifts between characters and time periods making it hard to keep track of what is going on. It's a great concept with a poor execution. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Witch-with-No-Name-Audiobook/B00NVPQ4BK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a good end to a good series Would you listen to The Witch with No Name again? Why? yes i would listen again and i have listened to the hole series again, the story moves at a good pace the characters for me have taken on a life of there own there is good times and bad times and the narration has given the characters there own identity What did you like best about this story? i like how it follows on from the last book it brings every thing to a nice close and i do like a happy ever after, the dialog to me seems realistic and the response of characters to each other felt as if i was there Which scene did you most enjoy? this is hard as i have loved all of this book but i have to say any scene where jinx is in it all ways makes me smile Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? i still now, even after listening to it twice it can makes me sad and make me smile and i fine my self looking forward to the parts that have grabbed me Any additional comments? i,m not much of a reader. I started listening to this series about book 8, when i had listen to them all i brought the books and read them because i had listened the these books, the read was easy as the voices of the characters was established in my head and for me this was the first time i brought the book before the audio book came out and i still brought the audio book as soon as it was released still go back to them. it is well worth the listen. Do not miss reading this book What did you like most about The Witch with No Name? The story line was well presented and kept my interest, in truth, I was sorry when it came to an end. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Witch with No Name? That is always such a difficult question, because there were so many, and in simple truth, I feel it would be unfair to spoil it for others, read it and discover the magic in this authors wondrous skill. What about Marguerite Gavins performance did you like? again please do not ask me such questions, i just loved this book. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? very much so, in fact I did. Any additional comments? A great book, as has been the series of her books. As always, fabulous! I have listened to all Kim Harrison's Rachael Morgan books and each one is even better than the last one! Would highly recommend. brilliant I love it. ready great. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Flossed-Found-Audiobook/B076FFMK4B Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Flossed & Found Author: Pepper MacDonald Narrator: Pepper MacDonald Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-17 Publisher: Pepper MacDonald Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Pepper leads a busy life with all the freedom a Gen-X kid could want. She lives with her distracted father on a hippy commune transitioning to a biker maintenance and repair garage in North Georgia. Getting around on her lovingly maintained two-wheeler, she juggles commune chores, food scavenging, and two paying jobs. When her first permanent tooth pushes through, she comes into some easy money. By capturing her tooth faery, she secures a knowledgeable mentor who will teach her how to eat in the wild and honor her own true North. Iris is a young woman coming of age in wartime England. She shares her frustration about limited career opportunities and dreary fashion choices with her faery friend, who enjoys visiting the beck behind her parents' home. When Iris makes some photographs of herself with Maeve, she launches a controversy in the human realm, putting Maeve's reputation and her people's way-of-life in peril. The unintended betrayal strains their friendship to the limit. Matthew's mother excessively dotes on him, worrying incessantly that he is not eating enough, despite clear evidence to the contrary. His weight isolates him from his peers and traps him in a struggle against his only loved-one. Maeve helps him tune in to his emerging inner voice and stand up for himself. Unwittingly, he is drawn into faery politics and Maeve's network of benevolent manipulation, reaping both benefits and heartache. Macie is tough and shrewd, but takes too many hard knocks as a grifter. As Macie's life falls apart, Maeve does what she can to salvage the only good thing from the tattered ribbons of Macie's destruction. Through narrative and letters, Flossed & Found tracks tooth retrieval agent Maeve Faedent as she meddles with her clients' lives, using the relationships to undermine the secrecy protocols in her own world and rescue a few humans along the way.

This book was previously published as Pillow Talk. Members Reviews: A different kind of faery tale - these characters will stay with you. A lively romp, both big and small, with indelible characters scattered across this world and Maeve's. This is the kind of earnest faery a kid dreams of after placing their tooth under their pillow. Read this novel and it will surely conjure up childhood summer adventures and possibly give a little hope to cynical adults that someone or some creature out there has your back. A charming, uplifting blend of magic and realism Iâll be honest â as a contributing writer of this book, I am slightly biased! However, I wanted to write a review anyway because it really does deserve a look. Pillow Talk is an atypical book â part fantasy, part autobiography, part history. While it is most definitely a work of fiction, some of the most surprising and unusual events in the story are based on facts. Books have been written about tooth fairies before, but the story of Maeve Faedent, the tooth retrieval faery, and her loyal human friends is not just a light and fluffy piece of fun but an inspiring tale of life, replete with all of lifeâs usual challenges. Women take charge of their lives and a boy becomes much more than his upbringing suggested he could be. While Maeve is the central, unifying force of the novel, the other characters are strong and important in their own right. In short, Pillow Talk is a fun, unusual and uplifting read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fallenwood-Audiobook/B07665RNRB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Needed some fleshing out. This book could have been really good, but fell short of that for me because of a few glaring mistakes, and just not enough background. Too many things that are really important to the storyline, are not only unexplained, but ignored. I won't give any spoilers. It's a good premise for a story,and it does have several redeeming features. The characters, other than the heroine, were interesting and it's a shame the author didn't go into more detail about who and what some of them were. The main complaint I have about the story is that the heroine of the piece is ridiculously wishy/washy. One minute she is insecure, the next, full of confidence, for no apparent reason. She is "in love" with someone, then ready to give him up to fulfill her destiny, (with no real turmoil to speak of); again, without enough reason, or anything happening to explain this abrupt change of heart. There are also too many instances where the transition between points of view is abrupt, and sometimes makes no sense to the story, (again, not enough info.) One of my pet peeves in a story is tying up all the loose ends in a neat little package, without enough information to let the reader understand how, exactly we ended up, "Happy ever after". The bottom line is that there were so many holes in this story, it sunk, (at least for me). I gave it a 3* rating for it's potential. I hope the author will go back someday and write the Whole story. That would be well worth reading! A Fast Paced and Interesting Read Fallenwood turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise for me. I downloaded it while it was free on Amazon to read during a readathon because it seemed like it'd be a short and fairly interesting read, and it turned out to be a fantastic read that I would have been more than willing to pay for. The author has quite the imagination and I look forward to reading more from her. The summary seem to promise a fairly standard tale, girl has some personal issues and ends up submersed in a world she didn't know existed. But this turned out to be quite different than what I was originally expecting. The main character, Ashley, does have some personal problems rooted in the death of her stepfather but it's not something that she just happens to overcome as soon as things start to change for her. It's major part of her character and she actually finds a way to coupe, it's not something magically disappears. The writing is fluid and has a unique fantasy flair to it that makes it feel like a different sort of reading experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed-Audiobook/B076DNMPD4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Filled with jungle adventure, danger, suspense, romance, mysticism, reincarnation, and the supernatural, the series also has a strong female protagonist. It is well-written, and highly-entertaining escapist fiction. BUT... The complete series consists of FOUR books, not just the THREE contained here (and, for the record, those three do not constitute a trilogy). In order of initial publication, the four books are: (1) SHE (2) AYESHA: THE RETURN OF SHE (3) SHE AND ALLAN (4) WISDOM'S DAUGHTER (Missing) That last one, not included in this set, MAY have some copyright issues in the U.S., that being POSSIBLY why it was omitted. Nevertheless, it should have at least been mentioned so as not to give the (false) impression the series consists only of the three books included here (and incorrectly called the "Ayesha Trilogy" on the front cover). Because of that deception, and because this set is incomplete, I have rated it 3-stars. Had this set honestly explained it provided only 3 of 4 titles and did not try to pass those 3 off as a completed trilogy, I'd have rated it 4-stars. Had it contained all four books, however, I'd have rated it 5-stars (which the FOUR stories in toto deserve). Happily, a complete, 5-star set of all 4 books in the AYESHA series is available in the Kindle Store from Timeless Wisdom. Titled SHE: THE FOUR NOVELS, it also costs only $.99 and that is the set I would recommend to all those who wish to read the entire fabulous series. In my review for that edition I briefly told about each of the four books (something too long to repeat here). If you would care to read it, I would kindly invite you to locate the aforementioned book in the Kindle Store under, "Timeless Wisdom She." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Do-Overs-and-Detours-Audiobook/B075TFX4M3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was prior to human dominance of the planet. Animals ran the world. The famine was the second disaster that had befallen kingdom Animalia since the Continental Drift created the two Supercontinents of Gondwana and Laurasia from Pangaea. The first disaster was the Coup d'état, an illegal seizure of power, by humans that split Animalia. There was still hope, if only animals could collaborate to save what was left of the wild from the advancing human settlements. The first step would be to find sources of food beyond the control of mankind. It was at this time that the birds encountered the sky creatures who offered to feed the animals and replenish the diversity of crops on earth. The sky creatures invited the animals to the heavens for a buffet and a gift of stem seeds. But would the absence of mankind prevent malice?

Members Reviews: I think it will appeal to highly intelligent young people A very interesting book which is partly for children but with very advanced explanations of all things spacial. I think it will appeal to highly intelligent young people. A Unique Blend of Science and Imagination the author does a brilliant job of incorporating scientific fact with folklore and legend in this very engaging tale. It is a story that will appeal to youngsters who already have an interest in science, but may also inspire others to learn more about both the scientific as well as the natural world. There is an excellent glossary at the back of the book for inquiring minds who may not understand certain words and phrases used in the text. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/From-Mountains-of-Ice-Audiobook/B074MDBRR7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Request for More! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characterization, vocabulary, evident research and depth of portrayal of the human spirit place this author in high standing for this genre. My only disappointment was that these are entirely new characters and apparently a new writing direction for Lorina Stephens and she hasn't as yet done any others in this style. Upon finishing the book, I wanted to find one or two similar writings by her, but regrettably, there are none... Lorina, please grace us with another. Nice quick read A jealous ruler, a banished advisor, a misunderstood gift and a country being destroyed from within. Lorina Stephen's From Mountains of Ice is a lovingly told story of rebellion and sacrifice, of love and fear. In the 10 years since Sylvio's banishment from the court of the young Prince Carmelo, he has made a life for himself and his wife Aletta in a rural village. Able to relax away from the problems of state, Sylvio would like nothing more than to retire to a quiet life of making bows by hand. A gifted bone speaker, he creates bows of the bones of the recently deceased. These bows speak to their users, and supernaturally protect their homelands. Sylvio doesn't brag about his gift, but he doesn't hide it either. Aletta on the other hand, is a gifted Strega, or truthsayer, a skill that is welcome anywhere she goes. When Prince Carmelo demands Sylvio return to court, he and Aletta have every reason to be nervous. They travel with the village's caravan to the capital city, only to be faced with ruinous taxes, foreign mercenaries, rumors of Carmelo's waning sanity, and trade ambassadors with ambiguous alliances. With little warning, Sylvio and Aletta must decide who they can trust, and they must decide fast. Sylvio must choose: betray the prince he loves, or leave his countrymen behind to fend for themselves. When Sylvio is captured and horrifically disfigured by Carmelo's mercenaries, his choice becomes clear. But is he strong enough to go through with it? Carmelo has forced Sylvio's hand, and Sylvio speaks with the voices of the dead. There is so much more I want to tell you, characters, betrayals, yearnings, latent gifts and madnesses . . . but trust me when I say you'll enjoy it more if you discover it for yourself. Along with natural sounding and witty dialogue, Stephens presents a renaissance Italianesque world populated by a unique ancestor worshipping population. You can't help but love Sylvio and Aletta, this is a mature and intelligent couple who has been together for decades. They trust each other implicitly, and know when they can be selfish and when they can't. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Neil-Gaimans-American-Gods-Audiobook/B0749PXDV8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Neil Gaiman's American Gods includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "about the author" section. American Gods is a novel about a war between old world gods, who have been transplanted to America, and the local, more modern American gods who have sprung up in the United States over time. The old gods include divine beings and mythological creatures from various traditions, including Viking gods like Odin and Loki, Egyptian gods like Thoth, Irish spirits like leprechauns, and African gods like Anansi. The American gods are less well-developed and individualized, but include personifications of media and technology. In most mythological systems, gods create the world and human beings. In American Gods, however, Gaiman presents a world in which human beings create gods. The deities require human belief, sacrifice, or worship in order to survive. Many old gods came to America with their worshippers over the years. However, the old gods, who no longer are worshipped, have lost power and solidity. While they still have some special abilities, many of them are not much more powerful than humans, and they can be killed and destroyed much like humans can - though it takes a little more effort. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Start Publishing Notes) Fri, 28 Jul 2017 05:18:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Neil-Gaimans-American-Gods-Audiobook/B0749PXDV8 thebookvoice.com 00:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Loved the twists and turns, the story was complex and not formulaic as I sometimes feel YA can be. Can't wait for the second book! thumbs up for me i found it really interesting and a different take on the whole witch concept. River got quite annoying sometimes with her internal conflict but the ending made up for this i think. i loved that it didnt have the very typical ending of happily ever after. i would recommend it. i was curious as to what happened to "it" after that one scene though and how exactly River had changed. DNF It The cover is stunning. The story; however, is stereotypical and problematic af at times that I finally gave up. Four Stars This book was great. Could notbput it down! Five Stars Loved this book! It kept me wondering almost to the end if they Graces were witches. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Minecraft-The-Island-Narrated-by-Samira-Wiley-Audiobook/B073VV4R2J Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Two editions, two narrators, one thrilling story. Enjoy this version read by Samira Wiley, and then be sure to check out the other available version narrated by Jack Black. The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the number one New York Times best-selling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero - stranded in the world of Minecraft - who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive. Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. 'Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks?' But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore! The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island...like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow. In this world, the rules don't always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

Sometimes the load of obligations becomes a bit heavy, as I slog through mediocre and pretty good and really-not-bad stories, and I find myself wondering why exactly I put myself through this â I mean, for decades of my life I read what I liked when I liked, and enjoyed myself just fine. But now and then a book comes along which I might never have discovered without this hobby of reviewing, without the nets I have spread to catch advance copies. One of these was an audiobook version of Gwendolyn Druyor's Geoffrey's Queen, which I loved dearly â and which led to my receiving more from the author. Last year I listened to Dee: A City Sidhe Story, my introduction to this world of ... well, sidhe in the city. It was a tremendous story â and it was really marvelous when the connection between that story and this became suddenly clear. I think I even said "Oh!" out loud when the penny dropped. (It's been a little while since I listened to "Dee", so it probably took longer than it should have for that to happen.) It's so beautifully done. Junior has his own story â but then when it overlaps with Dee's, there is no sense of "aw, I saw this episode already" â it's still suspenseful, still tense and engaging to see the events from a different angle. Junior â son of the boogeyman, living in a constant cloud of fear (his own and everyone else's) â is a beautiful, damaged character, absorbing rare kindnesses like a plant soaking up water, but never quite trusting that there isn't a kick behind the caress. He wished he had never been born, you see, and he's been dealing with the repercussions of that ever since. Periodic invisibility isn't all it's cracked up to be. I hope he comes back in other stories. I love Gwendolyn Druyor's writing. There is a framework in this story a little like that in "Dee", and it's brilliant. It's the language that really sets her apart â that clarity of storytelling that appears completely effortless (and I say that with full understanding that it's probably the complete opposite of effortless). I mean, I read "a statue of a woman in blue robes fronted by a fire hazard", and laughed, and then said to myself, "Actually, yeah", and then laughed again. I love it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Apprentice-Mistake-Audiobook/B06Y4C8HRM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Fantasy with a Superb Ending Even though this was shorter than the first story, it is even better than the first one. It contains lots of action and ends on such a humorous note that one can't help but like it. The first story should be read first, however, to appreciate the second. Very cool dragon! This is an interesting fantasy short story with a likeable main character who is an apprentice wizard and a very cool dragon. I hope the author plans to write more about this character and situation, because I want to know the history of the dragon (and if there will be more about her) and if the apprentice wizard completes his training. An Unexpected Encounter Recommended Audience: 10 to 15-year-old fans of Harry Potter Teslanar, a curious young apprentice wizard, discovers a huge secret behind a hidden door. Although a young audience is likely to enjoy this engaging little story, the adult reader will probably find the writing a tad too simplistic, with a style that makes you feel like you are reading a detailed description of the story rather than the story itself. The story is also marred by several inconsistencies (e.g., being trapped in a hiding place by falling stalactites and then suddenly free with no explanation) and plot holes (e.g., an unexplained explosion and the head sorceress overlooking rips in the lead character's robes). Still, the story shows potential, could be significantly improved with just a little editing and rewriting, and has an ending that brings a smile. Science fiction is one of my favorite genres. A lot of creativity has to go ... I receivedApprentice Mistake : A Short Storyin exchange for an honest review. Science fiction is one of my favorite genres. A lot of creativity has to go into books under that category, one of the reasons I love it. I wasn't bored while I read this, Tyler's writing style entertained me from start to finish. The main character Teslanar unknowingly endangers himself. He's a student who is studying to become a wizard. Curiosity during a study break is what lands him into a situation he never dreamed of. Tyler's descriptive words made me feel like I was there with Teslanar. Just like most works of art, this book could use some light proofreading. Readers who are looking for fiction sans curse words and sexual content, this is a great option. I hope this review was helpful. Happy reading. Entertaining short story Teslanar is a sorcerers apprentice who on his free afternoon discovers a hidden cavern where, as his curiosity leads him to enter, he accidentally awakens a dragon. Now he has to put it back into its stone form, as he found it... Having little magic left, will he manage to do so? It's an entertaining short story, although too short for my taste, I'd really like to know how it goes on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Russian-Noose-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B06XKP2LHZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you try another book from Wendy Fisher and/or J.S. Arquin? Seems like an interesting concept How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Flesh out some of the ideas. Any additional comments? It makes for an interesting short story, but some of the motivations for characters aren't made clear enough for them to make sense. I think it's still worth a read, though. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Ninth-I-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01N8XNR4O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's set in a world with long, frigid winters and iron giants. Having discovered that his son doesn't have long to live, Seven leaves his primitive, viking-like tribe to take his son to the centre of the world to save him. The journey is a constant battle for Seven and Erik as they fight against iron giants, black bears, other people, and the freezing cold with absolute determination. The plot and storyline themselves are fantastic and unique while still remaining familiar and believable. I enjoyed the world Speck has created and the characters very much. There is such descriptive detail given that you can truly immerse yourself in the situations the characters have to deal with. Sometimes it was hard to tell who the point-of-view character was but the plot is strong enough to carry you to the last page.

If not, this hidden gem may have gone overlooked by me. I don't usually write reviews, but I feel the need to share what a great book this is!

Almost switched it off after the first couple of chapters as it started a bit too slow, but I'm so glad I carried on as the story later really get exciting. I can't wait for the next book in the series! Excellent fantasy adventure I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The world building is intriguing and the characters interesting. I also enjoyed the narrator, who injected plenty of differentiation between the characters. Highly recommended. So original - genre fusion at its best Brilliant story that doesnt pause for a second and the mix of genres, I found, kept me guessing at where this could go. Narration was also superb - one of the very few narrators I have heard actually shout when the story required it.......excellent :) Jen Williams is an underrated star of British fantasy. No wait, of the whole fantasy genre! I'm a huge fan of Jen William's previous trilogy, the Copper Cat Trilogy, so I was excited to get this new book, starting a new trilogy, in a new world. I was not disappointed. All the elements I loved from the Copper Cat series were there. Jen Williams is such a wonderfully inclusive author and I don't think I can shout enough about how much I love that. The characters she draws are always complex, flawed and so likeable (unless she doesn't intend for you to like them). So getting to know the people that they are and understanding their variety of loves, lusts and desires adds to the exciting plot immeasurably. I'm a huge fantasy fan, but having an author who is willing to challenge the old, poorly thought out gender and sexuality tropes of the genre, but without making that the whole story... it actually makes me jump up and down with excitement when I tell people about it. And the exciting plot I mentioned! I'd agree with other reviews on audible that the first few chapters don't rush. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pandora-Audiobook/B01LY31NOM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: but I started reading Anne Rice years ago and really enjoy the universe of characters and events that she created I'm not generally a fan of vampires, but I started reading Anne Rice years ago and really enjoy the universe of characters and events that she created. Her stories would work (with some adjustment) even if her characters were not vampires--they're basically just human beings with some extra powers and some degree of immortality, which allows Rice to put them in historical situations. Pandora goes back to Roman times (Anne Rice is great with history--really does her research) then goes into the 20th century. Great Origin Book I'm the biggest Anne Rice Fan in general. Every summer for over a decade I make a point to re-read most of her books. I'm a big Marius fan so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this book. After years of wearing out my paperback and rebuying them I finally started picking up the eBooks. This review is a result of that! This book is basically a journal written to David Talbot about Pandora's human life, her life was a free un-married woman in Antioch, her vampire origin, and the complicated relationship she had with Marius. I know many other fans wouldn't put this book at the top of their list but this one is special as it is the only one of her vampire novels in the voice of a woman. Also, how can you not love the ancient world? I get my vampires and historical fiction in one swoop! Rice never disappoints I don't know why I never read this book as I have read all of Anne Rice's novels. The beautiful richness of the history in her novels draws you in like no other. Thanks again for this amazing book. Cannot wait for the next Mummy book. I've preordered. Great reading I love Anne Rice. Her characters are wonderful and stories great. She did it again! Wonderful read. I would love just five minutes in Anne's imagination or is it her reality? I am never disappointed with her writings. I would recommend this book to those that enjoy suspense thrillers! It is another book that is hard to put down and cannot wait to read the next in this series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wolf-of-the-Tesseract-Audiobook/B01LXHF2M7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As they flee his wrath, she must decide if these romantic feelings for her guardian belong to her or the alternate-self whose soul suddenly inhabits Claire's mind. Zabe, the only remaining member of the royal Guardian Corps escaped the warlock's conquest of the Prime Dimension and wages a one-man resistance. As he sneaks through an enemy camp he discovers they plan to use their sorcery to annihilate all the aligned planes of reality. To stop it, Zabe must break the forbidden dimensional barriers, reach Earth, and hide the key to the dimensional rifts. If he fails and the Warlock acquires the prize, it could spell the end of all existence. After a dimensional shift, Zabe discovers the key is really a human woman: a college student named Claire Jones whose blood holds the ability to unlock cataclysmic power. The enemy seeks her desperately, yet Zabe and Claire fight - knowing that her blood could rip open a cosmic fissure if even the slightest detail of their plan goes awry. Members Reviews: What a ride! This was an intense story which ended well with some wiggle room to continue the story. It was a clean story and lovers of subtle sci-fi (no space ships, but portals and inter dimensional travel) will enjoy this book. I received this book free from one of the book subscription emails. What a read! Beginning with the first sentence, the book pulls you into the action. The twists and turns of the plot make it akin to riding a roller coaster. The author masterfully weaves the actions and interactions between the multiple dimensions into a marvelous tapestry of delicious enjoyment. The characters are multidimensional in both the literal and figurative sense. The magical elements are prominent but not excessive. The book provides and excellent, albeit temporary, escape from mundane reality. I highly recommend this book. Great Read Wow the intense action and magic and love all mixed up in this thriller a must read for everyone .. you will enjoy Nice blend of genres in this clean read The idea of alternate dimensions, parallel universes, shapeshifting bodyguards, and the like are not new concepts, especially in the realm of science fiction. However, what is new is the idea of all of those disparate concepts being present in the same book without any one idea being completely overshadowed by the rest. Christopher Schmitz has done an admirable job of combining ideas from various genres into one tapestry that is an extremely enjoyable adventure. The only reason that I did not rate it higher is because the various threads that go into this book started out a little tangled at the beginning of the novel and it took me about a third of the way through before I was able to get them straightened out enough that I was able to understand the bigger picture. What I think that I liked the most about the book is that, eventually, the worlds blended to the point where it almost ceased to matter which âversionâ of the person was acting. I am definitely interested in seeing if this world has any more meat on the bone for the author and, if not, what other worlds are in his imagination for us to explore. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-City-Dreaming-Audiobook/B01LT63XW0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A terrific book Not quite a novel, not quite a short-story cycle, but full of delight and cynicism and immensely satisfying. A magic of texture, flavor and perception and adventures and encounters that are city life writ large. A work of fantasy that sits comfortably alongside Lev Grossman's THE MAGICIANS and Neil Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS. Magic for those who are bruised by life but have hung onto hope. And a funny, perceptive, enjoyable book. Get it. A collection of stories, not a story in and of itself. I only made it about 40% through this book. Its a collections of short stories with a very thin thread between them. Its more of a students imaginative writing journal, if that student missed living in NYC. Meh I really wanted to like "A City Dreaming" but though I felt it began well as something reminiscent of both the Sandman Slim series, and Neil Gaiman's urban fantasies, the story, which is actually more a series of loosely connected vignettes, never really went anywhere. It doesn't so much have a plot as characters interacting in a semi-magical New York. It's amusing, but repetitive, just like those interactions. No one seems to grow or change, not even the protagonist, M. He never really cares about anyone or anything, so honestly why should the reader care about him? He's a slacker, which would be fine if he was a secondary character, but as the lead, the guy you're supposed to identify with, or at least involve yourself with, he's not exactly riveting. We never learn too much about him. It's implied that he's been around for a very long time but whether that means decades or centuries, we never really know. We don't know what made him so indifferent to everything but sex, drugs, and music, or if he was always like that. If any of his friends had any redeeming characteristics we could assume that me must have had some in the past as well, but they're as... I can't say they're unlikable, even M isn't unlikable... dull is a better word. For all their eccentricities, they're dull. It pains me to write this because I SO wanted this book to be satisfying, and it was merely occasionally diverting. By the end, I found myself thinking, "Is anything going to happen?" And basically... no. Nothing much did. The writing is good, and it is often amusing, though never quite tipping over into witty or hilarious. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Chinibuck-the-Observer-Audiobook/B01L2HHXHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: the impossible and mysterious become reality.... I love books where the impossible and mysterious become reality and humans are transported into the unknown or unexplored sans safety net. No writer creates such scenarios better than Charles. Foertmeyer. Chinibuck left me gasping for air, my imagination reeling as the author created reality from the impossible. Henry Kellogg is a reclusive web designer, living at the edge of an old growth forest in southern Ohio. Henry enjoys his lonely existence. His daily routine includes drinking an occasional cup of special blend coffee, working on the computer, and hiking in the Shawnee forest. Henry's adventure begins innocently enough, with a leisurely hike through the forest. This day he hears more than the chirping of birds and rustlings of small animals. He hears the moaning of an injured human and discovers a Wauami Indian in full native regalia. Henry knows the Wauami tribe has not lived in Ohio since the 1700s, so where did this warrior come from? The Indian says his name is Keyawa, and that he's dying. He grips Henry's arm and says, "You are now Chinibuck the Observer. You must only observe - never interfere. I pass this on to you, as it was given to me." What did Keyawa pass on to Henry? Is it gift, curse, or both? And can a white man fulfill an obligation meant to be passed from Indian to Indian? Henry struggles with the Chinibuck legacy, forced into a world of dreams, dreamers, and dream catchers. He seeks answers while navigating between past and present, wondering if Chinibuck represents greed or greatness. Will he honor the legacy, or end up a broken man, trapped in the past? You'll have to read the book to find out. review by Laurel Johnson https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Tale-of-the-Body-Thief-Audiobook/B01M10GFON Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lestat the dimwit While I did enjoy this, there were moments where Lestat was just a bit too stupid. I get his needs and his impetuosity, but, for a being as developed as he has become over the course of the Chronicles, there were moments where his naivety was a bit too unbelievable. Oh, and there was one confusing moment where Louis seemed to develop a Russian accent - a little odd. That said, I was hooked and can't wait for another episode. Couldn't stop listening Filled with suspense, couldn't stop listening to find out what happened to lestat. There were twists I couldn't have imagined loved it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Red-Glen-One-Volume-Audiobook/B01M0XYDNS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amazing Fantasy Adventure For All Ages Would you listen to Red Glen One Volume again? Why? Yes there are enough stories in this one volume to keep a listener engaged and entertained for many times. It is a great set of stories complied into one volume. What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Glen One Volume? It is very hard to pick just one memorable moment from all the great stories in this set. I would have to say the battle with cats and mice at colony of Greening was most likely my favorite though. The detail and all the different characters involved was really great Which character as performed by William L. Sturdevant was your favorite? My favorite character was Chance the great grandson of Montgomery Worthington. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed several times and smiled and wanted to cheer on the mice it was a nice set of great family tales. Any additional comments?

Thomas Fool, now the head of Hell's Information Men, must solve a new mystery that crosses the divide between Heaven and Hell. Members Reviews: Fabulous Sequel! This is the second book in the Thomas Fool series. I loved it! I was originally recommended the first book from Audible due to my browsing/reading history. When I heard this audiobook was available to pre-order, I quickly bought my copy without even reading the synopsis and began listening to it as soon as I could. I was not disappointed. I found myself gripped by the storyline. This audiobook is narrated by David Rintoul. I love his narration. He brought the story and characters to life with his clear and precise reading. His pacing was excellent and I was amazed at how he could vocalise the various characters without losing his voice. He gave some of the characters incredibly gravelly voices that came across as menacing, which made me shiver, as well as lighter tones for the female characters. I would definitely listen to more books read by this narrator. Thomas Fool is a wonderful character. He is an "Information Man", a policeman to you and me, who investigates things when the denizens of Hell cause chaos or misbehave. I really liked this person. I don't know what he did in his previous life to end up in Hell, but I got the impression that he was a good man. Perhaps he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like his character grew as much as it did in the first book. In this story an arsonist is setting fires in Hell. Thomas and his fellow Information Men are sent to investigate and quickly find themselves facing a mysterious adversary. Unfortunately, they also have to deal with the Evidence, a new group of demon-lead investigators that shadow the human Information Men. Sent on a mission into Heaven, Thomas realises that all is not well in paradise. As danger threatens and both Heaven and Hell prepare to go to war, Thomas will have to dig deep for answers. Though I am not a huge lover of horror, I love detective stories. I started to listen to the story with no idea of what to expect, though I knew it was going to be a huge roller coaster ride. What I got was an unexpected journey through the eyes of the main protagonist, Thomas Fool. Hell is not a pleasant place to be in this book, and the demons are not exactly puppy dogs either. Heaven is more peaceful, though no less dangerous. I love the descriptive quality of the horror in this book, though it can be pretty graphic and a little shocking. Some readers may find it too gruesome. Then again, my imagination can be a little too quick to paint vivid pictures and some may find that it may not be graphic enough for them. As only a moderate reader of horror, this story definitely shocked me (in a good way). I was quickly hooked and sat entranced as the story unfolded. I must admit that I was a little disappointed by the world building of Heaven. I can understand why the author would make it this way, but still, I am not sure I would want to go there if all I'm going to do is sleep and dream for the rest of my afterlife. However, as I said, I can understand why the author did this: Thomas would see it as a boring and uninteresting place to want to stay. Having said that, the mystery surrounding the fires in Hell and the disappearances in Heaven kept me hooked. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Macaque-Attack-Audiobook/B01KINS9IS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a weak way to end the trilogy i reviewed the other two books, so i'll review this one too. i thought that "hive monkey" was a real improvement over the first book, but unfortunately, this one fails in other ways and is probably the weakest of the three, and a poor finale to the trilogy. if it even is the final book, since there is obviously room for more books in the series. ack-ack and victoria are still great characters and reading how their lives change was the best part of the book. victoria finally has to let go of her long-dead husband paul, and ack-ack faces his impending mortality in several interesting ways. sadly, characters like merovech and k8 are still not all that interesting, despite how hard the author tries to make k8's personality crisis a focal point for the plot, it seems contrived and solved too easily. merovech is still a pointless character, and i wish he wasn't in the book at all because he really serves no purpose. the main problem is the plot. it jerks around too much, skipping important details and scenes just to have them explained away later (like when ack-ack goes through the portal after celestine). the book takes place 3 years after "hive monkey" so the early part of the book is just explanation of what happened in those 3 years, but there are lots of unanswered questions. and then there's the completely random inclusion of the subplot with katherine abdulov. honestly, that killed the book for me. randomly introducing a new character like that throws a monkeywrench (haha, monkey joke) into the entire story. the big twist in the novel comes completely out of the blue, and the other characters accept it way too easily. i won't announce a spoiler here, but it's a doozy of a plot twist that seems utterly out of place. then the book seems to be leading into a huge violent conclusion with ack-ack and his army of monkeys heading to mars to fight celestine's forces, and the book just changes gears and ends in a completely anti-climactic way. the last 20 pages seem like the author intended to write like 200 more pages but the publisher demanded he finish it immediately, so he just threw together a fight scene and said it was done. the baffling katherine abdulov subplot and the abrupt, unsatisfying ending really ruined it for me. but i'm still giving it 3 stars because i love the characters of ack-ack and victoria, and most of the book is fun and exciting to read. if you liked the first two books, there is a lot to like in this one too. A Title Character Who Has A Name That Is Hard To Get Out of Your Head! Our son recommended this series and I was afraid it was going to be something like a cartoon/graphic novel, but I was pleasantly surprised. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Silver-Manticore-Audiobook/B01JQCYFWG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Book Review Thursday, March 6, 2014 The Silver Manticore: Friends and Foes Like the first Silver Manticore novel, the reader will find this one absolutely chock full of references to the great pulp magazines that went before. Some a subtle and others not so much! The first tale is a tad too brief and comes to a rather hurried conclusion. It does establish The Silver Manticore as a Green Hornet clone. Actually the twist in the tale which I wonât spoil is pretty good. Making it a tad longer would have fleshed it out more on the level of the first book. The second story and the fourth cause a bit of a continuity problem. Doctor Richard Henry Wylie, Jr. in the first of the two stories is described as âa couple inches under six feet and 180 pounds.â This is great if Wylie is based on The Avenger (where the Richard Henry comes from, anyway). But Wylie from other data in the stories is based on Doc Savage. Headquarters in the ESB, a flea run to a warehouse on the Hudson, and four aides who roughly match up to Monk, Ham, Johnny, and Long Tom. Also in the first story he is married to Mayan Princess Monja. In the second of these stories he is suddenly six foot eight and weighs 250 pounds! I wonât spoil the stories otherwise, they are very good. The third story spoofs Seabury Quinnâs Jules de Grandin, and does so with aplomb! Loved it! Now on to the fifth tale. It introduces The Maggot, a Spider clone whom Commissioner Kirkpatrick has set Doc Wylie chasing. The surprise ending I will not spoil but itâs a doozy! The sixth tale brings back The Silver Manticore with two people who might be Lozitoâs versions of a certain Transylvanian Count and an Oriental Doctor of ill repute. Perhaps not! Is the Manticore going to be turned in for the reward after all. Read and Heed! The next story involves agents any pulp aficionado couldnât mistake and yet another person who could be that insidious Oriental Doctor. Or not! You will also find references to a certain Submarine Captain and The Master of Darkness. I wouldnât know where to begin with the next tale. The Insidious Doctor is back. A certain Colonel and a certain international peace keeping force keep interfering. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Way-of-the-Brother-Gods-Audiobook/B01IU90JJO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One of my favorite series! The Way of the Brother Gods (The Malja Chronicles #3) by Stuart Jaffe takes this series to a whole new level. I just adore this series! The imagination, the fantasy, the characters, the world building, the interactions, the dialogue, well...everything about these books have been so right on the mark! Now when I get more money, I will get the next three books LOL. These three books end the time on their planet. But I am satisfied right here. It was a good place to end, a place I feel good at. The next three they will be on a new mission to track a world jumper so I assume that is what they will be doing. D B Chapman Great read. Intense cliff hanger just like the 1st two books. Malja continues to struggle in her attempt to find her home world. This book is a winner. I'm reading the 4th book now I hope that Stuart will write more. Another great read I'm loving this series.The characters and quirky but relatable and the story line isn't the same old same old. It's a winner. Good development of story line This was a good installment. I like the fact that each book is self contained. The writing continues to improve and is descriptive with out going to extremes. And while Malja isn't necessarily a good person, she has a good heart, and you root for her. Worth the money If u are enjoying the Malja Chronicles, then absolutely... do not under any circumstances start this series anywhere but book 1 !!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Streets-of-Red-Glen-Audiobook/B01IIP7WW2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Well developed characters, and very well written. The author has a wonderful imagination and shows us a story of Sol Lidden who gives us a glimpse into his drug induced world. From a machine to end all wars to "the moment we absolutely commit ourselves to change, providence moves too." It is a very engaging read. There are wonderful illustrations throughout this book. I was really impressed with the artwork. Both in words and pictures. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more by this author. Fascinating story. This boo really took me off guard. Not sure what to expect as I started reading it went much deeper than I thought it would. Following Sol through flashbacks/ hallucinations while under medical hypnosis is stunning. The writing is well done, and pretty easy to follow. There are pictures here and there through the book as well. Overall I did enjoy reading this and I reccomend reading while you don't have many distractions. gret read and always entertaining An astonishing read; I was captivated by Benjamin Trumanâs masterpiece of invention; a 'Collider' that can split space-time. Edward C. Harwellâs expert interpretation of Sols Liddenâs journal provides a provocative insight into life in other dimensions. Often bizarre, always entertaining, Iâm sure âWho is the Sun Kingâ will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come. A very good book this book is very interesting, talking about a pax team that finds all kinds of planets, it also talked about other characters like Von Clapp , the doctor blunt, his buddy clown, about when he was young and his first small telescope that magnified x24. i liked the part about the 3 paintings that made it into the smithsonian , have to say that blew my mind. Von Clapp seems to be really smart on how he deals with things. in this book he talks about alot of different places, stars, planets, and so many others. this is a very good book packed with all kind of surprises. I really enjoyed it and i thank you will too. Breath taking read! Will definitely get you thinking! A beautifully written and amazingly in depth book! Complete with sketches and illustrations, it really takes your mind to places that it's never been before. I've never read a book that has tested my imagination as much as this one did! There are so many twists and turns, and it leaves you questioning so many things and really gets your mental cogs going. The characters within the book are all described with such precision that you feel as though you have met every single one of them yourself. This book is a fantastic read! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be passing it onto my boyfriend for him to enjoy too! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Duskfall-Audiobook/B01HQF19H4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Papa Schimmelhorn at his octogenarian finest Papa Schimmelhorn is my old, in many ways, hero. When I was half his ostensible age I hoped for half his manly virtue. This says nothing of my admiration for his subconscious "chenius" which opens the path to other dimensions, time travel, anti-gravity and now the liberation of stranded UFO-aliens, beside, more or less as along the way, mastering the alchemical puzzle of turning lead to gold without lethal radioactive consequences...

Members Reviews: From "The Horror Fiction Review" I am a big fan of both Sharyn McCrumbâs Ballad series of Appalachian mystery/thrillers, and of Edward Leeâs depraved goretastic backwoods horror. Desper Hollow is like an example of what youâd get if those books had a baby together. Itâs also a zombie story, but donât let that fool you â this is no ordinary zombie story in the whole outbreak apocalypse sense. Like the rest of the book, itâs kept close in, confined, rustic, and remote. The rest of the outside world has no idea whatâs going on up there in the hills. Of course, that will change if Jenkie Mustard has her way. Sheâs inherited a little something extra-special from olâ Granny Mustard, something other than the thriving moonshine empire her brutish cousins have taken over. Better yet, ever since Jenkieâs sister Suze went nuts and burned down the town, she doesnât have to share the credit with anybody. She reckons, though, itâll make her famous. The power to bring dead things back to life? Sheâll be a celebrity for sure! Her letter is enticing enough to get some TV people to come visit, maybe to turn her into her the star of her own reality show. If Jenkie hasnât quite perfected the process, so what? Sheâs got a few examples of what she calls âhollowsâ stashed in her old trailer. She can even control them. Kind of. Soon, the TV people and Jenkie alike are in for some surprises. One of the âhollowsâ is different, not just mindless and hungry like the others. Desper Hollow did leave me with one agonizing unanswered question, but otherwise I found it a great read, highly entertaining and well-written, enjoyable from start to finish. Desper Hollow is a brilliant piece of zombie fiction loaded with multiple characters all ... Desper Hollow is a brilliant piece of zombie fiction loaded with multiple characters all who I liked. Our main character, Granny Mustard, is a vicious cruel person who created moonshine that turns people into zombies-or at least, it really helps them along into becomming a zombie. The book is like a wierd mix of that tv show "Outsiders" and "The Walking Dead" fans will certainly love it. It's gruesome, it's full of blood, guts, and gore, and the writing is pretty steller too. Desper Hollow is my first zombie book that I've read, though I've watched enough zombie movies and shows *cough, cough, Walking Dead, cough, cough* that I know a good zombie plot when I see one. I could easily see this turning into a short tv series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Prince-of-Red-Glen-Audiobook/B01EXA0X7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is a good follow up for this series The Prince of Red Glen Once again there is a war in Red Glen.Our mouse commander,Tony Price,picks up his sword and prepares to save his people from the likes of the 'Betrayans' (cute name).On the day after his wedding he finds that village mice have been mousenapped by Brawn,a terrifying mouse who holds a grudge that Tony didn't come rescue his town.Tony had no idea they needed help,but nothing will deter Brawn.Through an underwater opening word gets back to Red Glen and the war ensues.William L Sturdevant is great with all the voices in this series.I do wonder how all these mice,English,Irish,New Jersey ish,etc all came to be in one town.Anyway,in the end we have Red Glen back and many mice with new titles just in time for the next book. I was given this book free for an honest review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Winds-of-Change-Audiobook/B01EIH2KDU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awesome I will have to say that this series has given me a few mixed feelings but all in all it was a awesome book and I cannot wait for the 3rd one to come out. The book is a little slow to get into but once you start reading it is very hard to put down. The only thing that made me give it only 4 stars is there was a little confusion to the book you have to pay very close attention to every word or some parts will not make sense and some of the paragraphs start on a completely different subject then the last one did so it gets very confusing. Other than that this book is a wonderful read. Awesomely wonderful I chose this rating because, the story kept me on the edge of my seat at all times. I liked that they were all close and helped one another at all times. I liked the love that was between them all. They had their ups and downs but in the end they took care of each other. I recommend this book to everyone because it is a very good book to read. Four Stars This book was addicting hard to put down. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fantasy-Adrift-Audiobook/B01E7IPD3Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yeomans Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The Rival, a standalone Victor Standish urban fantasy. Victor Standish. Some call him the young Indiana Jones of New Orleans. Others call him the teen Ulysses of the French Quarter. The undead and worse spit his name as if it were a curse. Their cornered victims breathe the name as if it were a prayer. Victor says, "I'm no hero, certainly no saint. I'm just me." Alice Wentworth, the Victorian ghoul of his heart, raises an eyebrow. "Sometimes that is entirely too much." She hugs his arm, murmuring, half hungry for his heart, half hungry for his flesh, "Sometimes it is just right." Zombie love is like that.

To keep the young Edgar Allan Poe from sweeping Alice off her feet and into the poet's arms. The undead Abigail Adams, the revenant Empress Theodora, the all too alive President Andrew Jackson, and the voodoo demigods of Legba and Erzulie provide near-impossible odds.

Members Reviews: Oh no While I am not a hugh fan of paranormal romance, I thought I would try this one. Now I wish I hadn't bothered. Maybe this was a mid series offering and so I was coming in the middle but I was lost from the beginning. It is ok to have immortal characters, but let us know why and how they are here The Rival--A Rare, 3-Gem Novel Sometimes a book comes along that strikes me as rare, a gem, if you will. The Rival: The Legend of Victor Standish is one of those books. #1 gem: An urban fantasy filled with historical figures, ingeniously woven throughout. Not to give anything away, but readers won't be disappointed. In fact, as the main character time travels to 1834 New Orleans, I had hundreds of moments where I found myself smirking (and giggling) at Victor Standish, and the way he handles himself when in the most precarious situations. Prepare to face many creepy supernaturals, and by creepy, I mean way beyond sparkly monsters. Speaking of Victor, the #2 gem of the novel, one cannot help but adore him! A literary legend, hell yeah. His dry, witty humor will crack the face of the stoniest of souls. Victor and I have a special bond, as he helped me through a tough surgery last month by telling me the most ridiculous jokes. He will remain in my mind for years to come. If he'd allow me, I'd adopt him. His unworldly love for his classy, Victorian ghoulfriend, Alice, brought me to tears more than once. "I wasn't an orphan anymore. In her arms, I was home." ~Victor Standish, The Rival. And, as for Victor's authentic character, well, that brings me to the #3 gem, the author. Many applause go out to Roland Yeomans, the amazing author of The Rival. His creation of Victor Standish is a superlative example of authentic characterization. Roland achieves the ultimate with his writing, he types, allowing Victor to tell his story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Extraordinary-Audiobook/B01CYYUZSQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I wanted more of the story. Really like Rough Passages This is the first of Rough Passages series of stories. They tell the stories of people who mutate/develop powers later in life, not born with them. The characters are richly drawn, and the stories inherently human. This story, in particular, impressed me enough to submit it for a Hugo nomination. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Ocean-Callings-Audiobook/B01C4OOOEW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Innovative take on the well-loved theme of fairies and dangerous wishes." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: The Fairy Godmothers Union is back! The Stellar Guild series hopes to help new authors get a jump start on being discovered by pairing them with established authors. I really enjoyed The Magic Touch by Jody Lynn Nye and was delighted to discover that it had a sequel, of sorts. This is the Fairy Godmothers Union novella Wishing on a Star. Wishing on a Star was published in 2015. Ms. Nye wrote Best Wishes, the next chapter in Ray & Rose's story, and then newcomer Angelina Adams wrote a companion novelette Homecoming about one of the new characters, Vicki. I just read both recently on my Kindle. I highly recommend both short works of fiction and I really do hope Ms. Nye is able to write more Fairy Godmother Union books! Youth Adults only First go read the ad copy about the book. Both stories take play in Nye Fairy Godmothers Universe. This book screams that it was written for the tween crowd and covers adult situations happening to kids. Since was written for youth, I had trouble getting into it. The new comer author does a good job give the backstory about the genie, and how the genie is dealing with coming out her lamp. That bump the book up to 3 stars. Five Stars Loved the book, well done. A God read. Intriguing twist on an old tale The Stellar Guild format works well for this volume. The established author, Jody Lynn Nye, leads with a sort novel that lends a modern twist to the genie in a lamp granting three wishes traditional tale. Inevitably the wishes lead to trouble as the initial wish-recipient tries to broker further wishes to friends and aquaintances. The story is set in Chicago (not the first time that city has been the location for urban fantasy) and features a number of other supernatural beings (fairy godparents, sandmen) and mentions a number of others (brownies, witches, efreets and demons) most of whom lead outwardly normal lives - the hero figure is a student - that are organised into guilds and unions. It transpires that the genie has somehow slipped through the guild net - and this leads into the second part of the book with the newcomer author, Angelina Adams. Making full use of the change this part follows the genie in her new home location and the change in narrative style works to advantage. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hellmaw-Soul-Larcenist-Audiobook/B01BLRHVQ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A riot I picked up this book because Suzanne is a riot to read. And I use that uncareful word carefully. Like an actual riot, Suzanneâs stories can be loud, fast, funny, full, purposeful and end with a lot of broken glass and blood. Her novel length work is no different. This book moves and moves and moves. I enjoyed the blending of genres and moods - gritty procedural, shadowy horror and a hint (only a hint, I actually wanted more) of rom-com just to throw you off. She is a skillful writer. You can sit back, read and relax, knowing that she will continuously entertain. Ménage à trois with Suzanne Church If you havenât tried it and were curious about a ménage à trois, try Suzanne Church. She knows how to do it masterfully. She did it before and she does it now again in a manner that will sent shivers down your spine. For the sensations she gives us, we all thought she has a pen to help her in the process. You know, one of those antique, ivory with feathers at one end and a gold tip at the other. And ink dark like dried blood. But, apparently, she does it all with just a keyboard. The times we live in. Her last one she called Soul Larcenist. Not for the faint of heart. For those brave enough to venture into Suzanneâs painful imagination, the ménage à trois waiting for you is a mélange of horror and thriller with a dash of science fiction. She grabs hold of you from the first moment, thrusts you on rusty iron hooks and drags you all the way to Hell and back before you have time to think if you can endure the journey. I can tell youâthe thrill, the pleasures, the whole experience leaves you gasping for air and wishing you still have the strength to dive in again. Thatâs the kind of stories Suzanne writes. Thatâs the kind of experience, Soul Larcenist offers you. The cliché most reviewers useâitâs a must readâdoesnât do her novel justice. Soul Larcenist itâs an essential read for all those looking for a book with real human drama, unforgettable characters and thrill rides on steroids. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Darkling-Prince-Audiobook/B01B6O8NO8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The war is taken across the river - the conclusion to the story This is the second part of Issel's and Jendre's stories and the wrap up for this series. The feel of this book is quite different to the first book in some ways, especially as the war really takes of in this instalment of the story. Issel finds crossing the river a shock that changes his ability to access his power making him much more lethal to his Maras enemies, who won't know what hit them. Jendre finds the new Sultan will drive her to the pits of despair and an action from which there is no return that will lead her to Issel and his friends. I have to say I enjoyed both of these books, and while I found Issel to be somewhat reminiscent of the author's main character inDead of Light (New English Library (Hodder and Stoughton).)I nevertheless would like to read more about him in another book in this universe. These are enjoyable fantasies in an alternate Turkish style world, and while the world is not defined in detail and the writing a tad abstract as a pair these books are still a worthwhile fantasy read. terrific political fantasy It took a day to destroy a millennium of prosperity when the Marasi created a magical bridge that scaled the walls of Sundain to enable their conquering army inside (see BRIDGE OF DREAMS). Now two decades have passed since the conquering led to twin cities bridged by the dreams of children whose lives are sucked out until they wither and die while the Marasi magical rule. By happenstance the sultan of Marasi's latest wife Jendre meets Sundain water mage Issel after he has done the impossible by crossing the river to Marasi. They agree to help one another at a time when rivals battle for control in Marasi as she wants to save the life of her "dreaming" sister. However, their plan goes awry when the sultan is assassinated and Jendre captured as she has value to those craving power. Issel knows he must liberate her or else face failure as she is his only access into the castle. This terrific sequel assumes that the audience read the previous fantasy as much of the political intrigue especially the abuse of power was set in BRIDGE OF DREAMS and built upon that foundation rather than repeated in the deep RIVER OF THE WORLD. The story line is fast-paced once the lead couple recognizes a mutual need for one another and abets each other to achieve what they desire. Whereas Issel wants to free a city, Jendre wants to free a person as morality plays havoc with this duo with issues like sacrificing one for the better good or saving one at the cost of the many (early Ayn Rand). Chaz Brenchley writes a terrific political fantasy. Harriet Klausner Good Story, But...

Members Reviews: A Prose-lover's Fantasist Chaz Brenchley is the prose-lover's fantasist. He first hit the American scene with his six-volume Outremer epic --Outremer #1: The Devil in the Dust (Outremer, Book 1)-- which stood as quite the peculiar fantasy series. Mixing myriad heady themes with a vastly exotic locale and challenging, not exactly likeable characters, it didn't quite gain the overnight fan base the man deserved. Having enjoyed all six of the Outremer books myself, it was nevertheless easy to see why so many (at least so many American middle classers) failed to share my admiration. It's an unusual fantasy, by-and-large a re-imagining of the Crusades and the trials faced by the people therein, although while most Westerners think of Merry Olde England, knights and shining armor and holy grails and little else besides whenever "The Crusades" is mentioned, the truth, however, being that England was simply where knights set off from and came back to. The actual Crusades, (i.e. the actual warfare/struggle) took place in the Middle East, and the only other work of modern fiction I can think of to placed the Crusades inside its actual, natural habitat, was the movie Kingdom of Heaven...and we all know how wonderfully that flick went down (it tanked). Add to this already-doomed-to-failure set-up a strong seasoning of poetic prose, and not just purple prose, which fantasy lovers are (unfortunately) more than accustomed to and willing to accept, but rather a high-brow and personal sense of word-play that, honestly, I've yet to discover in full outside of Brenchley's own, singular wordsmithery, and it's understandable why he's wasn't an overnight sensation. But wait, isn't this post about Bridge of Dreams? Yeah, it is, so let's get to it: with no peer support group for my love of Outremer, over the years I lost track of Brenchley and failed to discover his newer works. Recently, however, I was once again took the plunge, this time into the author's first US-before-UK work, the duology Selling Water by the River, the first book being the outstandingly-conceived Bridge of Dreams. Whatever reservations anyone may have had when sampling Outremer, I can unabashedly say: Bridge of Dreams is by far a superior work. The world herein is remarkably well rendered, filled with a cavalcade of wild ideas and concepts though tightly focused upon to see a smaller, personal tale. It's about two neighboring countries: the ruling Maras and the ruled-over Sund. Maras marched into Sund long ago, due to crossing an unbridgeable river by crafting a Bridge made out of magic, out of children's dreams. The Bridge, being a bastard thing of wizardry, poisons the water it touches, and the result is an impoverished land peopled with deformed mutations, including one small boy who develops an ability that just might turn the tide in Sund's favor once again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Hand-Over-the-Candle-Audiobook/B017TA47FC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Creepy, quirky and I want more One of the best things about this book is the characters in it. Thereâs a fairly large group of them, but they each get just time for you to know and love them all by the end. But the one that really stuck with me is the witchâs familiar, a âtubby tabbyâ who can talk. Think a less intelligent but equally sassy and loveable version of Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Thereâs a part where he comes back from a very close encounter with the thing from the church bathroom and draws out his tale like a masterful story-teller, milking all of the attention he can get from the group. You want to hug him and smack him all at the same time. The pacing and action in this book is addictive. It lingers where you want to explore Widdowshins and whirls through the action and fighting in a masterful way. If this book were a television show it would make itâs full hour on-air feel like 10 minutes. Itâs such a fun ride. My favorite scene is the the first proper attack where the creature makes on the Pastor and his wife. Itâs scray to see how brazen and powerful it is, but the way the two fight it off and deal with facing the supernatural thing is hilarious. I donât want to spoil the why part, so Iâll just say itâs a story I plan to revisit because of itâs mix of horror, humor, and action. The best part of this book by far was what listening to the story brought to the experience. The narrator, comedian Steve Harris, brings such life to the performance, and for those of us outside of the UK, his accent is so much fun to listen to. Well, itâd still be fun to listen to if youâre from the UK as well, but thereâs some extra zest for those of us who arenât used to it. I will say, it could be a little challenging to understand if youâre not familiar with listening to accents outside of your native one, but itâs certainly worth doing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/ShNyr-the-Gulp-of-Fire-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B017RLMFSO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/778/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.
