Title: Alice in No-Man's-Land Author: James Knapp Narrator: Miette Deschenes Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 01-29-16 Publisher: Curtis Brown Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Alice Walshe has led a very charmed life, until now. Twenty years after a pandemic crippled the country, things are finally back on track and her father, a major player at real estate giant Cerulean Holdings, has made billions renewing the pockets of urban decay that were left behind. As his protégé, she has accompanied him to one such area named Ypsilanti Bloc, a particularly valuable site due to its proximity to a major thriving city. When their airship is attacked by Ypsilanti's biggest militia, however, Alice and her brother, Cody, only barely escape and end up as the sole survivors of the crash. Alice emerges from the drop ship to find herself trapped in the very Bloc that her father was meant to re-purpose - a ruined city that militias, gangs, and even cannibals now call home. She is discovered by a pair of teens who have tracked the wreck hoping to scavenge anything useful, and with few options open to her, she employs their help to find her brother and get home. Things grow more complicated, however, when she realizes that the attack may not have been random, and that Cerulean's renewal project may not be as benign as she had been brought up to believe. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James Knapp) Fri, 29 Jan 2016 11:57:15 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Alice-in-No-Mans-Land-Audiobook/B01B3IOKEO thebookvoice.com 09:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Entertaining and interesting story....but Any additional comments? The story itself was very entertaining, engaging, enjoyable and interesting. Original concept for the apocalypse/pandemic. The story is pretty fast-paced and constantly moving forward. There is always something happening. Even though the story drew me in immediately I could only listen for a little at a time especially in the beginning. The narration was the problem. It just did not flow smoothly at first. Which is unfortunate because the story itself is actually very good. As the story continued the flow of her narration evened out a bit and it became much more enjoyable. Action, suspense, mystery, danger, intrigue and betrayal at every turn. An interesting post apocalyptic twist on a modern day Alice in Wonderland with an Escape from New York feel. The aftermath of a world where mad cow disease was rampant. (A truly scary thought) Now the corporations are in control of different areas of the country. There are the have's in this split society like Alice and the have not's. The have not's live in areas that are considered no- mans- land and are for the most part lawless and are run by gangs/ martial law/scavengers etc. Is that the ending? Is there going to be a sequel? The book is worth your time but you may want to read it instead of listening to the audiobook. A narrator should never distract you from the story. Miette Deschenes did the narration for this book. This is the first time I have listened to her narrate a book.Overall her narration was enjoyable. It looks as though she has only done a couple of books. With a little more experience she could become a really good narrator. Pleasant voice. Really very good character voices. She was able to bring the characters emotions to life through her narration. The non character parts of the narration just did not always flow smoothly. It sounded as though she wasn't familiar with the material. You could tell when she came across a word she wasn't sure how to pronounce. Awkward pauses occasionally. My suggestion would be to read through the material first to familiarize yourself with it. This would help the story flow more smoothly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/If-Then-Audiobook/B019NCC6LG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointed Whilst the description of the war was excellent I felt that the base story was just an excuse to describe the war. Tedious Good narration but quite a tedious and convoluted story. Too unbelievable for sci-fi. Too realistic for fantasy. Flatters to deceive If you could sum up If Then in three words, what would they be? Beautiful but slowDe Abaitua's writing constantly impresses with slick figures of speech and leaps of imagination. It's almost worth listening for that alone ... but not quite. The story evolves agonisingly slowly and it many places it is just not credible. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The story ran out of steam in the end. What does Mark Meadows bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? The characters were distinct but I didn't warm to them. This is probably more the author's fault than the readers' but a less languid pace might have kept it moving. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Some of the phraseology was very impressive and little gems popped up out of nowhere. But the main characters were so weak and irritatingly passive that it was hard to get involved. Any additional comments? I understand that this is the authors' first book. I wonder if he could see the plot for the writing. I'm sure he'll do better next time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/GI-JOE-Invasion-Audiobook/B016AVRKWS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Very Long Review For a Rather Short Book I am sorry to say that this book was practically unreadable. Structurally, thematically and grammatically, it is an absolute mess. Normally I would give examples of the issues I mention, but in this case they are so numerous my review would be nearly as long as his book, and I came close enough to that anyway. The author chooses to write in present tense, which can be a challenge. However, he is horribly inconsistent with his tenses, switching to past tense quite often, even within a sentence. Another thing is that he has a large problem with homonyms. This is a common problem in self-published works, but he has a bigger problem than most. Then he has an issue with singular versus plural agreement between nouns and verbs; it makes reading an awkward experience. Also he seems to ignore the rules of possessives at random. Spelling is one area where he seems to be about average, though it is still a medium-level challenge. Then there are the dropped or missing words in a sentence, which tend to make the reader stop and back up in order to try to understand what seemed to be the point being made. Finally, as part of the author's writing style, he uses sentence fragments with abandon. As an occasional writing tool, it can be effective in portraying immediacy and seriousness. The problem is that the author uses the concept in almost every paragraph, and quite often more than once in a paragraph. The upshot of all these issues, along with several more I have just forgotten to mention, it is a battle for the reader to move on with the story and still be able to make sense out of what it seems the author is trying to say. As to his writing style, for this book it seems to break into two parts. For about the first third of the book, He jumps between time periods quite often. Now, some of them are titled as such, and I can understand his reasons for using it an expository method for the backstory. However, there are many other scenes where there is just a section marker, followed by something completely different. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Z-Walkers-The-Complete-Collection-Audiobook/B0157AMYLU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This tells the story of 3 different characters. We see Colin first. He is in the midst of a robbery when he first sees the Zombies. He is now stuck in a house with rapidly dwindling supplies and no chance of escape. Then there is Sara, a personal trainer who is at work when the outbreak happens. Finally Hank, a school janitor who is in the process of cleaning the school when he sees the Zombies. He phones home and his wife tells him that she will come for him. Hank sets about cleaning the school of the infected while waiting. Each character has his/her own troubles to deal with and each has to try stay alive. The final installment sees all 3 characters come together. Can they all survive? Now, while I enjoyed this book tremendously, I did feel like I was missing something. Like maybe I started at book 2 instead of 1 because we don't get to see how the outbreak happened. We get no information at all about the where, how, and why. I think if we had that, then this would of been 5 stars. Character wise. Colin was a bit whiny and annoying. Sara was capable and Hank was great. Each of them has a story to tell and each of them developed throughout. Plot wise, it was fast paced and entertaining. It didn't bring anything new to the genre but it was like reading an old favourite, comfortable and enjoyable. Ben Kass was clear and concise and I enjoyed his narration. He gave each character their own personalities and I had no problem with seeing who was talking. *I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review via Audio Book Blast. All thoughts and opinions are my own.* A Great Beginning! Would you consider the audio edition of Z Walkers: The Complete Collection to be better than the print version? I don't know because I have not read the print edition. However, I always prefer audiobooks because it allows you to close your eyes and immerse yourself in the story. What did you like best about this story? I enjoyed how the three stories came together but I would have liked a little more detail. Which character as performed by Ben Kass was your favorite? Collin Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely. I found myself unable to stop listening to it. It was very exciting and left me wanting more. Any additional comments?

Trapped in the basement of their home, Kyle Reynolds; his wife, Mary; and his son, Eddie, are in hiding. Hiding from creatures no one thought could ever exist. Instead of fights about sex and money, the couple find themselves at each other's throats over supplies and safety. The day finally came where Kyle had had enough. After every fight, Kyle would glance at the picture of Jasmine, the girl he should have married, hidden inside his wallet. She was his one and only love. He had to find her. Kyle's journey begins the second he witnesses his wife murder their son before committing suicide. When death is replaced by an existing hell, the world as we know it ends. The recently dead have been coming back to life and infecting the living. Kyle's only source of information comes from recorded radio broadcasts by lead researcher of the cause, Dr. Theodore Greenly. The dead cannot be killed, only stopped. Destroying the brain puts the infected in a dormant state. They are not alive, they are not dead, they merely exist. The Existing Dead continue to evolve, making them harder to stop until Dr. Greenly makes a shocking discovery.

Members Reviews: Refreshing, Original, Action Packed... Worth the buy. WARNING!!! This review contains spoilers, big ones. If you don't like spoilers skip this review!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book was damn near a home run. I read every Zombie novel that comes my way, and I have read a few hundred already. I love the genre and have a love/hate relationship with zombie authors sometimes. I love it when a good book comes along, and I hate it when I'm done with the book. That is exactly how I feel about this one. This is the most original take on the zombie genre I have read to date. When I first started reading the book, I couldn't figure out if the author was making the actions and thoughts of his lead, Kyle, jump around on purpose or if that was just the way he wrote. It made the story hard to follow at first, but the more I read, the more I realized the genius in this. Kyle is you, me, your brother... a real person. He isn't some hero with perfect morals, or some evil monster hell bent on doing bad things because he likes them. He is an average everyday man thrust into a bad situation on top of already having to settle for a life he didn't want to begin with. Kyle does things, bad things, but he does them with good intent (well, at least good to him). We follow him as his mental stability breaks down and snaps back at random moments. There were times I felt sorry for Kyle, and other times I was horrified at things he planned on doing just to keep a grip on what was going to keep him sane during this zombie apoc that he found himself in. He killed for what he considered good reasons, but not necessarily for good reasons. That is what made this seem so real. It's what you and I would realistically do instead of being the knight in shining armor. The Zombies: Amazing. They start out like the Romero-esque type we are used to, but then they begin to evolve, adapt, and overcome challenges that make being a human survivor in this dreadful world the author created a real pain in the ass. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Woman-in-the-Night-Audiobook/B013QH0W38 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The suspense continues! The suspenseful story continues! Hold on to your seats! You will love the story as it continues! ! As good as the first I am enjoying these books. The author has a great reading voice. The plot is interesting and keeps you wondering. Just ordered book 3. Where the story really gets going Any additional comments? I think the second book adds so much more to the story than the first one, which I feel just set the scene but not much really happened. This book answers a lot of questions, but of course brings up even more which is good, you feel more immersed in the book and attached to the characters for it. There are a few audio editing mistakes (repeated sentences and bloopers) which I mentioned to Luke through his facebook page. He was really nice about it and apparently these are resolved in the combined book version, so I would probably recommend getting that than buying them individually. Gripping!...hurry up with books 3 & 4!! What did you like most about The Woman in the Night? As with Book 1, I loved the originality. Book 2 carries on where we left off, but the mystery deepens. I honestly can't imagine where this will go in Books 3 & 4 but I can't wait to find out. What other book might you compare The Woman in the Night to, and why? The first book of The Black Room series is all I can think to compare this with...I can't think of any other book I'd liken it to. What about Luke Smitherds performance did you like? He's easy to listen to and he brought the characters to life...what more could you want? Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? yes but I'm not posting any spoilers here. Any additional comments? It's so exciting when you stumble across an author you've not heard of before and find you instantly love their work. 'The Stone Man' was my introduction to Luke's work and it was a fantastic book. Now I'm looking forward to reading (listening to) the rest of his books as soon as they are available. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Red-Queen-Audiobook/B00UG9A8DO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Red Queen Subtitle: Substrate Wars, Book 1 Author: Jeb Kinnison Narrator: Mikael Naramore Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-10-15 Publisher: Jeb Kinnison Publishing Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: They fought their governments... to free the world! Red Queen is a science fiction thriller set in the US of a not-too-distant future, when the Bill of Rights is ignored and the US is run by the Unity Party, combining the worst of Democrats and Republicans. Red Queen is a story about young people searching for freedom and agency in a world dominated by bureaucrats, administrators, and propagandists. The world of Red Queen is a police state with its roots in today's events: post-9/11 warrantless physical and electronic surveillance; the erosion of personal liberties for supposed security reasons, even when the government's actions are shown to be ineffective or wrongheaded; and the rise of a penal-industrial complex that imprisons one in three black men, often for victimless crimes. When the next terrorist action occurs, there may be calls for even more restrictions on freedom and privacy. That's where Red Queen begins. Justin Smith is a grad student studying simulated biology. He was home-schooled and read the classics of economics and history. He recognizes the police state for what it has become, but also knows to keep his head down. Steve Duong is a child prodigy, self-taught in Vietnam, who has distinguished himself in mathematics and physics and is now researching advanced quantum computing. Steve makes the discovery that could change everything. Samantha West is a daughter of West LA privilege, self-assured and knows what she wants - and she brings Justin into the cause. Ben Ramirez leads the Students for Liberty, a student civil liberties organization, and believes in the Constitution. This is Book 1 of the Substrate Wars series. The story starts on a California college campus just a decade from now. The world is post-terrorist disaster: repressive and censored, governed like China is today but with a stagnant economy and no jobs for young people. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeb Kinnison) Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:07:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Red-Queen-Audiobook/B00UG9A8DO thebookvoice.com 07:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very interesting premise I liked the premise of the book. Science advances to where things we've dreamed of are possible, like moving between places through a "door". But what if the discovery is so new nobody else knows about it yet and what if your government has become extremely Big Brother-ish? What do you do? (And underlying it all, is another question of how real is it all?) Some of the writing seemed a bit raw, but this is a first book. I'm pleased you see that the series is continuing as I'd still like to find out more. A good read which is hard to put down I really enjoyed this book; I read it on vacation and I didn't want to stop reading it. There were a couple of sections where the dialog was a bit stilted and it was reminiscent of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon in being somewhat didactic, but that's just nit-picking - it had engaging characters and the plot moved along quickly. I liked the emerging universe he created and feel that the stage has been well set for a good series. I actually thought Samantha was going to be a government agent but happy to be disappointed ;) I look forward to book number 2! Fast paced, well plotted read. Good, well paced story. Reminded me of Heinlein's "juveniles" in the pacing, dialogue, etc; and I mean that in a good sense. Young people (and some not so young) faced with making choices that have far-reaching consequences. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Warchild-Pawn-Audiobook/B00U3NEV4U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting This book has a lot of death, but what book about war doesn't. Still some can't handle the violence so I figured I'd throw that in there. For the grammatical clan, this book didn't have any major errors that I recall. So if there were any, they were easily overlooked. On to the story itself. The characters are quite interesting. The lead heroine is young, but strong. She's struggling with the new responsibilities she's taken on while also struggling with learning what she is. Even though she struggles, and at such a young age, you can see the heart and bravery she has. She's not perfect, which I prefer over the "never has anything happen to them, always perfect" heroine, but she seems real. There are two male heroes. Both being unlikely heroes. Both choose their side early on and stick with that conviction despite numerous obstacles and dangers. There's also a cast of minor characters that add to the story without going too far where you need a chart to keep up with everyone. The plot is consistent and pretty fast paced. It's easy to blow through chapter after chapter because you want to know what happens next. The concept of the story has some of the typical things that make this a dystopian novel, but I did enjoy the idea of the Kinders and the why and how of where they began. Overall a good read and worth the time. But the good thing about not expecting is that you easily appreciate ... I did not expect anything from Pawn since I've never really seen it before. Heck, I don't even know anyone who has read this (must check goodreads then, lol). But the good thing about not expecting is that you easily appreciate a story, a book, more. Pawn is a dystopian novel that's got a nice world building, great characters, thrilling action and adventure. While I do not approve of the world they live in - being divided by belief system - the way Ernie Lindsey wrote it totally absorbed me. It's your usual scifi-dystopian novel where the heroine's got a big role to play and struggles to face things. Caroline is a heroine that's quite easy to relate to. She's got the power, the strength, to save everyone yet she has no idea how to control it. While other heroines would go about romance problems and such (which sometimes annoyed me), Caroline struggles to be brave, to lead, to make decisions, to take responsibility. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Birth-of-a-Nation-Audiobook/B00TKIXARI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story was sort of interesting but the narration was horrible, the absolute very worst. The guy has poor distinction between character voices. I could have lived with that but not the incorrect pronunciations, stuttering, email chimes, cell phone noise, background noise and poor overall audio quality. Would you ever listen to anything by James M. Butler again? Maybe this story if another narrator was used. What didnt you like about Anthony R Schlotzhauers performance? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to like about this guy's narration. Hint: he should go to a quite room to record but first learn how to read and re-record parts where he messes up... that would mean re-recording this whole book! You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The story was interesting but the narration made it simply too unpleasant to listen to at all. Any additional comments? I might buy the book to read myself. The premise was interesting, much like Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove. But no author should allow Schlotzhauer to voice their books. Even the free podcast of books are better than this guy, who I am assuming was paid for his "work." Persevered and quite enjoyed it What disappointed you about Birth of a Nation? The narration was bad, but eventually it grew on me and I found the poor recording quality quite funny but not too irritating. The biggest irritation though was the time-travel contrivance which drew me in initially, but failed to score any plausibility merit when 1000's of incidental characters quite happily committed themselves to believing time-travel being possible and immediately accessible to them, and volunteered themselves faithfully to permanently "relocate" to the past to risk their lives fighting a war with no personal guarantee of outcome. The time-travel and unlikely social compliance in the circumstances were conveniences to set the stage I think for the author's primary fantasy interests rested in the battles and politics of the time retrospectively tweaked. What could James M. Butler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I have no real interest in the period or the war etc. - alternative history and current technological and social/political influence on past time periods interest me more in a generic sense; but still, the characters gathered about them some depth as the reading matured and I could not abandon the story unheard. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/London-Warriors-Audiobook/B00SAHC6MK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unable to finish What disappointed you about London Warriors? I found the narration to be so bad that I couldn't follow the story at all. I gave it 7 or 8 chapters and found I didn't know what was going on at all so I had to give it up. What was most disappointing about Paul Rudds story? I can't honestly say. I really wanted to enjoy this book. It sounds like the type of stuff I like. The narration really turned me away from it. How did the narrator detract from the book? The accents sounded horrible and fake! I found the voice altogether annoying! I listened to samples of his other work and it didn't sound like this one, so hopefully he does do better work. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No Any additional comments? If this were to be re-released with a new narrator I'd love to listen again. One important thing all authors should remember when putting one of their books onto audio is to get a good narrator. A bad narrator can ruin a good book! one of the most complex listens I experienced London Warriors by Paul Rudd was by far one of the most complex listens I experienced. This 10 hour and 24 minute book was so jammed packed with events throughout. I was completely surprised it did not split at the seams with all the action throughout the book. I enjoyed this book immensely. Filled with reality, fantasy and apocalyptic scenes in an environment that has gone amok! He has built an enormous cast of characters. With the story opening in the year 2013 in London. The thought that these events can possibly be a reality as Paul Rudd has written in London Warriors. He has filled it with some amazing legendary creatures appearing after the first third of the book right to the end. The ending has a twist I did not see coming. One I am sure the reader/listener will gasp at! Gangs begin forming and money seems not to serve a purpose for many. It is the power to survive and rule. A Super Solider Serum which is called G-meth is having adverse effect on people. Something that was not its original purpose. Now it has caused rioting throughout the city. It is splitting the city in half. Moving 3 years into the book it is now 2016. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Ways-Audiobook/B00TJ41MUU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Series addiction Seriously so good, I read through it and was like, crap it's done? So well written, loved every moment and could not put it down. Am really engrossed in this series. The writer in my humble opinion, does a great job of separating the characters so it really feels like different people 's personalities are present. Sometimes writers make the mistake of making all their characters sound like the main protagonist and you aren't able to relate individually to any one person in the story. You have to read it, amazing series! I read about 100 books a year and it has been a while since I was so touched by a book (series). I started with Book 1 bought in 7-pack. It was very original, but I was still hesitating whether I would like to read more. Then Chasing Spirits - very nice book, but still it didn't kick in. But eventually I started to read Book 2 and I was immediately sucked in. After finishing I was left begging for more and I already started think a lot about possible continuation and potential outcomes. All the books (Book1-3, Chasing spirits, At last goodbye) form a fantastic series, a single book read will be nice, but may disappoint you. The power is in how all those books wind and meander together. It is a fantastic read - sometimes very serious, sometimes very touching. I love the author's style and word selection. Ah, you just have to read it! Very interesting series I just happened to stumble across this author while reading a collection of stories by various authors. The first book Diary of the Displaced caught my interest enough to purchase the second and third books of the series. I found this to be a very good story line with a strong central character. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. I can only hope Mr. James comes out wiith at least one more installment to show us how Eleanor follows in her grandfather's footsteps. I don't think you will be disappointed with this world Glynn James opens up for our reading pleasure. Come get Displaced ! What an amazing conclusion to the journey. A fresh spin on Zombies and Apocalyptic fiction. I was hooked by the time I'd hit page 2 of Part 1. I read on the authors website that there will be more chapters in this saga, and await same with baited breath. Will defeinitelty be trying some of his other stuff ! Over all, I believe the first book was the best. But, still not bad as far as an adventure goes. I felt the same comfort in reuniting with the characters as I did in the second book, but something in the story was lost. Too much detail? Not enough surprise? The climax was forever building but over far too fast. What happened behind the scenes was then... summarized. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fury-Audiobook/B00TIZFVAM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Beneath the rolling seas and deadly atmosphere of Venus are the Keeps - fully enclosed cities that house descendants of the survivors who first harbored atomic energy to escape a dying earth. In massive superstructures built beneath the Venusian seas, a complex feudal society devoted simply to decadence has evolved. Presiding over that society are Immortals - genetic throwbacks to the mutant atomic survivors. While the society is stable, the stability will only lead to its destruction, and the harsh environment outside the Keeps is malevolent and encroaching. Born into it all is Sam Harker, son of an Immortal and the object of his father's disdain after his mother perished during childbirth. Sam is subjected to treatments which stunt his growth and leave him hairless, and he is exiled from the society of the Immortals and set on the tumultuous path of a rebel's life - one inspired by hatred and a desire for vengeance on the society. Sam's search for revenge and his great abilities make him more powerful than the more decadent residents of the Keeps... and perhaps even more powerful than the Immortals themselves. He seeks mass appeal as a politician in a campaign that assaults society. It is not until everything is destroyed - that is, in the aftermath of destruction - that the reclamation of human destiny is even a remote possibility. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Henry Kuttner) Fri, 13 Feb 2015 12:44:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fury-Audiobook/B00TIZFVAM thebookvoice.com 07:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I love retro fiction especially 1930's and 1940's. This series inspired David Drake to write his Battleships on Venus Stories Surface Action and the Jungle which I love! A Passion fo Science Fiction Warning: There are spoilers partway through (You'll be warned again). But you may want to come back and read them after you read the book. "There is a wonderful point in many stories which comes after the characters and general lines of action are set, when things begin to move by themselves. This is where the unconscious takes over. All the writer's submerged beliefs and fears and hopes come surging joyfully to the surface to take full charge, and the writer's only function is to type fast enough to keep up. This happy state unfortunately isn't common. But when it does come, there are few greater pleasures in life. "The reason, of course, is that (besides the necessary money) such stories bring their writers that glorious free-fall sensation which is a kind of catharsis of the unconscious. Characters personifying one's deeply felt beliefs and values test them out in a fictional world. You don't know at the time what's happened. You just know you feel wonderful. Long afterward, rereading the work, you can see what lies just under the surface." There's an obvious passion for writing in those words, and yet you won't find them in a manual about writing, or in the autobiography of some world-famous writer. They're in the introduction (sadly never to be reprinted in other editions) to a 1972 Lancer Books paperback edition of Fury, a classic sf novel that was first serialized in Astounding Science Fiction in 1947 under the pseudonym Lawrence O'Donnell, came out as a hardcover book three years later as by Henry Kuttner, and had been retitled Destination: Infinity for a previous 1958 paperback. Fury's publishing history makes the novel seem purely a matter of commerce rather than art. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Heat-Audiobook/B00PJEHF3M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Heat - Global warming with a solution What made the experience of listening to Heat the most enjoyable? That Arthur Herzog perdicted global warming in the 1970s What other book might you compare Heat to and why? All of Arthur Herzog's books What does Kenneth Campbell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His wonderful voice. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The ending Any additional comments? Arthur not only was psychic but that combined with his interviewing every scientist on the subject of Global Warming, makes this book a MUST READ. Action all the Way as the Earth Heats up Would you listen to Heat again? Why? Yes....would like to compare his insight to what the future is bringing us What was one of the most memorable moments of Heat? When the Government gets caught in a cover up to hide the truth. What does Kenneth Campbell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I thought at the start that this mage telling a reporter the story of what happened during a world changing event wouldn't go anywhere. The mage was a bit too omnipotent and I thought it would simply get boring fast. I was happy to learn I was wrong. Sometimes I saw something coming but often I was quite surprised at the turn of events. This was a very enjoyable book. I don't think it rates 5 stars but the author and narrator really earned 4 solid stars. This book is amazing, I look forward to the next. This book reached out and grabbed me on the opening . From there it was pretty much all I could do to not take our trip specifically so I can listen to this audiobook. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Il-mondo-perduto-The-Lost-World-Audiobook/B00P6U3PN8 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> Titolo: Il mondo perduto [The Lost World] Autore: Arthur Conan Doyle Narratore: Silvia Cecchini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 7 hrs and 57 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 11-04-14 Editore: Collina d'oro Categoria: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Riepilogo Editore: Il mondo perduto (The Lost World), fu scritto nel 1912, ed è una delle opere più note del filone avventuroso del mondo perduto che si sviluppò a cavallo tra il XIX e il XX secolo. In particolare influenzò tutte le opere che in seguito parlarono di dinosauri, a partire da King Kong e a finire con Jurassic Park. In questo romanzo viene introdotto un personaggio, il professor Challenger, che, come dice il none, è quasi allopposto di Holmes, istintivo quanto questultimo è riflessivo. Questo personaggio sarà poi il protagonista di una serie di romanzi di avventura. Cona Doyle fu ispirato, nella scelta dello scenario del romanzo, dalla conquista della cime del più alto dei tepui venezuelani, il tepui Roraima.

Members Reviews: So So The last half of the book wore me out waiting for something to happen. Don't think I'll be following this series any further. Other wise the story was ok, a lot of instruction though and the rest wasted far too much time with chit-chat between characters for my taste. Hilarious survival story This apocalyptic story is just plain funny and the narrator really pulls off the southern characters accents. I loved Bertha and Clem`s voices and antics! Survivalism with a smile, a good prepper fiction book to learn tips and tricks while being entertained. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Red-Dwarf-IV-Audiobook/B00LSU9KES Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I read it all in a short time and can't wait for the next installment. I then passed it on to my teenage grandchildren as I feel it will be something they will also enjoy. The words really paint a picture of an extreme disaster and the love of a father for his son. The book hooks you in and I want to know what happens next........to the Rocketman! Brenda Settles Exciting new voice I really enjoyed reading this and can't wait to see what comes next. It's sort of sci-fi but it's more about the characters and the relationships that evolve through the story than it is about space travel or fancy gizmos. I'm also excited for what this means for the future of literature--the serialized novel is back! For less than the price of a New Yorker, I was able to check out a story by an exciting new author. Can't wait to see what comes next. Loved it. This is a page turner. It goes very fast and is very well written. This author knows how to write. It starts with a natural disaster and a is a very compelling story about a father's love for his son. It is a very good read, but would make a fantastic action movie that would interest young people as well as mature individuals. I look forward to the next adventure with great anticipation. Engaging Rocketman has a very intriguing plot. I was very engaged through out the reading. Although I'm not a fluent/fast reader in English, the novel has a lot of visual elements that makes the story connect very effectively. The use of metaphor is very appealing. I can almost imagine an apocalyptic LA. I strongly recommend it! Looking forward for part II. Awesome Rocketman is written beautifully. Crain is a talented author - his writing is so lyrical, and I can really envision exactly what is taking place in the novel! I can "see" it in my head so clearly. Very well depicted and incredibly compelling! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Channel-Blue-Audiobook/B00K33OMIA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She has a loving and devoted husband. A caring community. A glamour job as the only civilian allowed to work inside the temple of Isis, Our Lady of the Absolute. But there's one thing Meres doesn't have: a child.

When Meres learns her beloved sister-in-law Pu is pregnant with a foreigner's child, everything changes. As a member of the Pharaoh's harem, Pu is bound by law to be faithful to him, but she's unintentionally broken that law and committed treason, a crime punishable by death. Now, only Meres and Pu know her secret. As a loyal citizen, Meres is bound by law to turn Pu over to the authorities. But how can she do that to someone who didn't mean to do anything wrong - especially someone she loves? Suddenly, the life Meres cherishes turns into a nightmare. Torn between love and envy, family and country, duty and faith, Meres risks rejecting the hard and fast rules of her religion in order to help the people she loves.

Members Reviews: Ancient Egypt Revisited A white-walled city along the Nile, a self proclaimed Pharoah/god, evil priests, gods and goddesses... even a harem: the many elements of a typical excursion into the mores and beliefs of ancient Egypt. Or, so it would seem. When a temple scribe sees a spreadsheet and a form with 1040 on it, the reader begins to suspect that all is not what it seems. When the evil head priest sits down to his computer to work on âthe bottom lineâ as it were, the attribute âancientâ appears to be misplaced. There are too many surprises in this tale for me to reveal any. I prefer to let the unsuspecting reader discover the truths behind the fiction. A total entertainment. An Excellent Read It's a excellent read that pulled me right into the story. It captured the essence of an abusive sect and those who live within it. As long as you don't look too closely or start thinking for yourself, everything will be ok. And it clearly wasn't. I don't want to give too much away, but after all the horror, there is hope and healing in the end. but I did not like the storyline Our Lady of the Absolute by Resa Nelson is a different type of book to read. It tries to combine ancient Egyptian and modern society in a "today" setting. The book was well written but I found it hard to follow and identify with. I just could not get into the story. This book just didn't do it for me. I give it four stars based on writing style, but I did not like the storyline. Amazing When I first started this book I was not sure where it was going. I almost didn't finish it. I am so glad I did. This one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It is a must read. When Fiction Becomes Fact OUR LADY OF THE ABSOLUTE By Resa Nelson This is a most strange story and it flows along making sense for about half of the book, and then it takes a twist and the reader struggles trying to determine how to fit the two halves of the book together. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Reapers-Return-Chronicles-of-Aesirium-Book-1-Audiobook/B00H1WYTV6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Everyone in Oldtown had heard talk of the Reapers. Even though nobody had seen one in years, everyone whispered the tales: flying from rooftop to rooftop, stealing the souls of the unwary, letting their undead beasts hunt through the streets for any member of the community too reckless or fearless to heed the nightly curfew ... mysterious and terrifying, most feared to even mention them by name, lest they appear and gather your spirit away.

Members Reviews: A dark, brooding & captivating read What did you love best about Eleven Twenty-Three? I love Hornsby's writing style. The language, the sentence structure, the vocabulary that not only describes but also emotes. His stories are twisting and complex, and this is his best one yet. I was completely hooked on this story from beginning to end. Couldn't stop listening Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I recommend anyone with a proclivity for conspiracy theory and hair pulling anxiety to give this a listen. It will leave you exhausted and uneasy. Once the action picks up, you won't be able to put it down. Who was your favorite character and why? You can't really bring yourself to like any of the charters. Then you feel the pang off guilt when you realize they are the reflections of yourself. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I was literally yelling at the characters out loud in the middle of the grocery store with my ear buds in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dragon-Badge-Audiobook/B00F4A7JUA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Terrible This book was terrible. It starts off pretty good, you get sucked in then it just gets stupid. Moon keeps throwing stuff at you and you feel like, where the hell is he going with this? But you never get an answer. There's a part where I think the main character dimension shifts, but I'm not fully sure. It's very weird. Then the end is just nothing but cop killing and death and no fight scenes and then the two guys who absolutely hate each other team up and kill a guy. It's like thinking that Batman and Joker might team up to take somebody down. Between the raped junkies and the man eating dogs...It was just terrible and stupid. Save your money/credit for something that isn't' a complete POS. Had me wondering and guessing the whole time! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, the story is very compelling and will have you guessing. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragon Badge? The realization by Michael Prim that all is truly not as it seems, himself included. Which scene was your favorite? Too many to list. Any additional comments? The narrator takes a little getting used to, but about an hour into it I realized that he did a really good job with his characterizations. This book is not my usual sort of read, but I really enjoyed it. The police codes threw me off and confused me a bit at the beginning, but a quick internet search took care of that. The world and the characters in that world are carefully thought out and seem very "real", even when things start to change and the not so "normal" start to come out and play. One of the things that I liked about this book was that there are so many subtle little hints given from the very beginning that things are not as mundane they appear. I've read the book twice now and listened to the audio book version. Each time I caught something new that I had overlooked. This is not a light and fluffy urban fantasy read. There is loss, love, violence, mystery, and drama. There is a wonderful blending of the real with the unreal that makes the world it's set in believable. I plan on reading the second book very soon... if I don't go back and re-read or re-listen to this one once again, that is! Books like this one keep me completely engaged with the world in which they are set and have me going back for more, which is why I gave it five stars. I purchased this book for myself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Last-Man-Audiobook/B00EV18WJK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is only a relatively short book but there was a lot of emotion in the story. Definitely worth it Mind Numbing As you might have noticed, my screen name bears a striking similarity the the title of this book. It is in fact the reason why I bought it; usually choosing much longer "reads" to eat up my miles of travel. I've had the nickname long before I ever found this short story and it irritates me that such a bland uninteresting story read by a talentless narrator shares it. The story never seems to hit its stride, the main character comes off as fairly useless, and it ends very abruptly. The main character (the only character actually, unless you count a bunch of dogs that really serve no purpose in the book but to add filler as the author spends time describing them) isn't believable as a "lone survivor" type. He comes across as a coward and, whats worse, and ignorant coward. This guy isn't Robert Neville from "I am Legend" by a long shot; he lacks that character's bravado and technical proficiency that makes you believe he was able to make it alone for the many years post-pandemic. I love dystopian fiction, and have come to accept a certain amount of the "stupid decision variable" to be put into any story. Its actually a necessary evil, used to keep a story interesting by adding in more difficulty and misfortune. This guy though... Whats worse is the performance. I had never listened to a book read by Mr. Outfield before and I am fairly sure I never will again. This may seem harsh but his voice, cadence, inflection, and slight (irritating) lisp does not lend itself well to dsytopian story telling. Performances for this genre need to have a grittiness or a weariness that make you believe the character's metal has been tested and they've made it through, even if they're a little worse for wear. Mr. Outfield's performance carries none of that; instead carrying a softer more verbally precise tone. It comes across perfectly read and pronounced, sounding more as if he's reading a story to a group of 5 year olds. I enjoyed every minute of this audio book. Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Man to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version, but I'm sure that a good storyteller can use the spoken word to enhance any story. What other book might you compare The Last Man to and why? I would compare this to Earth Abides, The Long Walk, and On The Beach. What does Rish Outfield bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Clear conveyance of the story. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me wish I still owned a dog. Any additional comments? I loved every minute of this audio book. Why wouldn't I? I like apocalyptic novels, stories of survival, and I love dogs. The only complaint I have about this book is that it ended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Going-Alien-Audiobook/B00F9DXZKU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Stories of Aliens and Dragons I really enjoyed each of these stories! Although I had already read other books by Jeffrey A. Carver, these short stories would make a great introduction to him if you haven't read any of his novels so far. I especially enjoy his Star Rigger novels. I think my favorites of these was "Shapeshifter Finals" - or How to Wrestle An Alien! Visit Jeffrey A. Carvers universe - I'm pretty sure you'll go back for more! Some good short-story fun of the alien persuasion from one of my very favorite authors Jeffrey A. Carver. If you haven't read any of his books, this one would be good introduction to his writing. Included are short stories that became the foundation for some of his novels in his Star-rigger universe. I highly recommend this sci-fi fans. Going Alien The plots were good. Mr. C writes well. Perhaps there was not enough information about the characters to create a fondness for them in me. There were times I could not " suspend my disbelief." But it was a good read. good set of stories Liked most of his stories. They got better as the book went along. It's a bit of an anthology of his writing, and he gets better as he heads into his Rigger story that develops into a great story a bit later. Just getting to the good part about half way through the book. Good Stuff I always enjoy Carver's stuff. I didn't realize the Starrigger universe was *his* when I started reading his short fiction. This collection includes a short that became a Starrigger novel I remember reading an enjoying when I was younger!

Members Reviews: More dull discussions of useful prepper products This second book continues the dull discussions about useful prepper products. There is no "savage awakening." The book should be a manual. It includes several pages on the Crank a Watt electrical generator, complete with photos and the characters discussing multiple uses for it. Like the first book, it ends with pages of products and where to buy them. This book is also full of annoying editing errors that pull me out of the story while I try to figure out the real words he was trying to write. thumbs up I love all Ron's books, the characters are are detailed, and his knowledge, and tips are real world things that you can use. Great read! This is the first book by Mr. Foster that I have read and I must say it was a very good read. Simple and straightforward and chock full of tips and tricks to make it work. I like that he doesn't get too complicated or into the violence and horror like a lot of the "Doomsday" type books. He just lays it out like you're doing it and makes it very accessible to his readers. I will definitely be checking out his other books too! I like in spite of the p!ss-poor editing. (and product advertisements). Mr. Foster, let me edit one for free and see if it doesn't turn out better. I'm not a professional editor or writer. I'm much better at finding things wrong with other people's stuff than my own. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Terminal-Audiobook/B00CLUOLUM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gripping all the way! What was one of the most memorable moments of Terminal? The most memorable moment was when Elliott sprouted insect arms! What does Paul Chequer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? I think his reading makes the story a lot more lively Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was very tense at times, I shed a tear when Drake was shot... Any additional comments? The whole series is brilliant. I listen to audio books in the car, but I've had to listen to it in the house, the story is so exciting. The main characters are very well built up, you feel you know them by the end....and the story doesn't hold any punches, the tragic twists and turns are shocking and make the characters so believable. Such a shame it had to end....might listen to them all again! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Purgatory-Audiobook/B00BQ0O2UC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Galactic Comedy? Comedy as in "Greek comedy"; and easy on the comedy. Was looking for something humorous and spacey. This is a plodding trudge through colonialism dressed in a cheap sci-fi getup. Evans voicing of the conniving reptilian leader puts me to sleep. Just as true in 2016 as it was in 1992 I was looking for a comedy sci fi series. This series was not that. It was a parallel of the problems of human civilization with the "aliens" dressed up as the working and under employed saddled with debt and not having the hope to get ahead. Substitute the quote "the tree still stands" with "BLM" and you'll see what I mean. I'm not exactly happy about looking in the mirror, but the story was well written, well told and kept my interest. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Battle-for-the-Stars-Audiobook/B00C77LZ58 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For 200 years Earth's power and prestige as the center of galactic government has been increasingly eclipsed by that of her growing colonies in far distant star clusters. Now the weakened mother world, celebrating the anniversary of the first space flight, has become a helpless pawn in a struggle between the scheming Orion cluster and the other clusters it hopes to conquer. Enter Jay Birrel, captain of a squadron of space ships in from the cluster Lyra for the celebration, and his brilliant wife, Lyllin, whose exotic looks betray her birth on distant Vega. Jay is of terrestrial descent, and a visit to the ancient family homestead earns him friends and stirs a sense of belonging to the mother world he never knew he possessed. Jay might even want to live here. But the neighbors aren't as quick to cotton to the alien-looking Lyllin, and the pair soon find themselves at odds over their feelings about the old homestead and the old home planet. Then Orion strikes, and before he can work things out with Lyllin, Jay finds himself called to duty, with only hours to prepare for an epic battle between his own cluster and the aggressor - with the independence of Terra as the prize. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edmond Hamilton) Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:59:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Battle-for-the-Stars-Audiobook/B00C77LZ58 thebookvoice.com 05:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worth every penny Edmond Hamilton is one of my favorite authors, and this book is a highly entertaining read for fans of pulp SF. The characters are not thoroughly fleshed out, but not really one dimensional either, and the science is plausible given when it was written and holds up pretty well today. Although not as much fun as his Starwolf trilogy, this book holds up for me because the space flight and battles here are interestingly portrayed. Interstellar War and Intrigue Battle for the Stars by Edmond Hamilton Battle for the Stars (1961) is a reasonably good tale of interstellar war and intrigue. It reminds me a little of some of the military SF I have read, with its honest, loyal, patriotic, family-oriented space naval officers and ruthless, sneaky, selfish, lying politicians. Earthmen settled the galaxy over a century ago, but instead of remaining united under the Earth government have split into 6 competing space empires. Two of the empires, the Lyra Sector and the Orion Sector, are engaged in a cold war that could turn hot any second. In fact, it appears that the Orion people are about to try to conquer old Earth. Jay Birel, the main character of the novel, is commander of the Fifth Lyran squadron, consisting of over 40 warships, and he is charged with making sure the Orions don't get their greedy hands on humanity's birthplace. Besides the space naval battles, over the course of the book Birel, and his beautiful wife, get involved in various diplomatic and espionage capers. Hamilton keeps everything more or less realistic, his pacing is good, and he strikes a good balance between action/suspense scenes and scenes in which we the characters and their relationships evolve. Battle for the Stars is no ground breaking masterpiece, but Hamilton keeps it interesting, and I am comfortable recommending it to people interested in space adventures and military SF. I read the 1967 Paperback Library edition, 52-609. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Sucker-Punch-Audiobook/B00BMW05T6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: sooooo boring I had read and reviewed the first book, but forgot how mediocre it was when I bought this one. Three hours in and all they've done is train, get new uniforms (complications due to the tails and tail stubs of some of the species) go on a date or two with Krissy, and agonize over whether she wants to get married, and then finally, finally they are on the ship to fight somewhere. The narration is mediocre too. His best voices are the aliens. His Earthly accents give out after a few lines. My money is better spent elsewhere so I am returning this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Terraforming-Earth-Audiobook/B00BMEGVM4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Theology, Bad Science What Williamson does well, incredibly well: Contemplating the future and the afterlife. I have no idea if he is coming from a Theist perspective or not, but this is a very interesting take on what eternal life might look like- in two different ways. How could our scientific understandings be merged with common dreams of humanity- to live forever? AndWho Wants To Live Forever?Is it a something we want if it's like this? Is this what we hope for? Is it even eternal life that's the goal? If the best of Science Fiction raises questions, and does not answer them, then this is it. And I believe that is the highest SciFi can aspire to. Williamson also creates multiple fantastical worlds, mostly on Earth, as time goes by, and is to be credited with a heady imagination. However, good science fiction is also good science, save the caveats to make the story move forward. Clones don't partake in the personalities of their prior. Yes, there is a nod to a similar environment given in a throwaway line in the book, but the environment is only similar- not the same. They are raised in that, and then there are many differences as things continue on. There will be small genetic changes in each cloning, as well as large environmental changes- yet the personalities remain the same. Second, we are talking about millions of years here- at least. That is enough time for quantum changes to occur in the original sample of the DNA. The problem is worse if they are repeated clones of clones, but the book seems to indicate they return to the original source material. But no working through the problems of physics here. Third, Williamson writes post-web. Yet nary a mention of the web. This is a rather key human development, that should be impacting everything in the early years, and how the clones view things. I kept on thinking that Williamson was writing pre-web, because of the complete exclusion of our now way of life. Lastly- and for me, the most important issue- *the continents remain the same!!!* This is *millions* of years in the future. Actually, considering that there are at least two ice ages that come and go, two major impacts that liquify the surface of the Earth, which then cools, and major terraforming of the Earth by advanced humanoids, one would expect major changes to the continents, making them nearly unrecognizable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Snipers-Audiobook/B00C7SVG3I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch, so well known and appreciated for her Retrieval Artist series (which are truly wonderful renderings of a strange alien-filled future, mainly set in one of the cities on the Moon) has given fans of time-travel novels a masterfully told SF detective story. Coming from multiple viewpoints about several odd murders committed in 1913 Vienna (including the sniper's own visits in 1913), Rusch ratchets up the suspense as historian Sofie Branstadter uses all her creative wit to research for the definitive book on the Carnival Sniper Case. Crucial evidence is missing and a bullet from a disinterred body is far too advanced for 1913. Only Sofie's dogged persistence drives her to discover more evidence--and toward what one lab scientist calls an Asimovian universe explanation.This is a clever, fascinating variation on a time travel trope that SF fans are sure to eat up like delicious Viennese pastry. A well-crafted SF mystery/thriller. I read an introduction to this book in the "Astounding" SF magazine and I'm glad it encouraged me to purchase the Kindle edition. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Most authors who write around time travel have a hard time resolving the inevitable paradoxes, often leaving their readers confused and unwilling to suspend disbelief. This author takes the line that you can go back and change the past, introducing a fork in the time line, with the consequences of the change working themselves out in a parallel universe. But if you do so, you will necessarily return to the changed universe your actions caused, forever unable to return to your own initial time line. So you end up facing the consequences of your actions. A neat and morally satisfying approach. In addition to a plausible handling of time travel, this novel has several finely drawn and quite credible characters, a far cry from the cardboard cut-out figures who populate so many SF novels. They misunderstand each other, and feel their way to mutual understanding in a way that seems true, at least to my experience. The sympathetic handling of personalities shaped by tragedy and loss is also endearing. Indeed I would say that the sensitivity and skill of the writing is of a very high order indeed. There isn't a great deal of action in this story: less than I expected from its description as a "thriller." However, here are some thrills, and it is gripping, but definitely not space opera. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/LYCCYX-Episode-1-The-Declaration-Audiobook/B00BLVGR7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What did you love best about LYCCYX Episode 1: The Declaration? Thing I like about this book series is that it is designed to be done in one sitting. The book is setup in a journal entry format. I like this style for this kind of scifi genre because it helps me understand the perspective from Zander, Kate and other characters. More so the main character. What was one of the most memorable moments of LYCCYX Episode 1: The Declaration? The scene where Zander and his foe meet up and are faced to either fight or let one another go. The two friends have two agendas that butt heads. It's great to see the intensity build. Have you listened to any of Mike Paines other performances before? How does this one compare? I actually listened to Ep. 2 before Ep. 1...so yeah technically I have. Mike has a nice radio voice that IMO fits well with the story. I'm not bored or anything like that and my attention is kept. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The hard decision to fight his friend because there is a higher cause. Any additional comments? I'm looking forward to more installments. Wow, just wow. What disappointed you about LYCCYX Episode 1: The Declaration? There are many things about this book that are just bad. 1) The narrator seems to be on a speaker phone held up to a microphone. 2) The main character of the book blacked out a few times to wake up in a safe and other people fill him in on what happened. Once he was in the office of the main bad guy and passed out only to wake up in the hospital because he was rescued without the bad guy knowing. What was most disappointing about Brian Barbers story? Pretty much all of it. How did the narrator detract from the book? The way it was recorded. I could hear papers or other background noise. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment Narration amateurish I tried. I thought this might make an interesting story, however I felt the narration was very amateurish. I felt like I was being told the story, rather than shown, and although there is only 45 minutes to this audible title, I gave up. I just wasn't interested. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Thunder-Strike-Audiobook/B00BJ98KVC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Some verbal punctuation would help. What disappointed you about Thunder Strike!? The narrator doesn't seem to breath at all. No pauses between sentences. No pauses between scene shifts. Makes it hard to tell when one thought ends and the next begins. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Story idea is interesting. Kind of over does it on the math and physics part. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Keith O'Brien? Almost anyone else. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I think the book would have been okay with a different narrator. Any additional comments? Might be willing to try this author again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Return-to-Camerein-Audiobook/B00BM6FFU6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not as good as I remembered What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The performer has a weird cadence, often putting pauses in the middle of sentences. I had grown used to the sometimes bad voices in the first two books, but some of the voice choices for characters in the third book -- such as the gay hairdresser voice for the Prince -- were particular bold and unfortunate. Was Return to Camerein worth the listening time? Yes, but I probably won't re-listen to it. There are some interesting bits involving space combat, but there are two many problems with the plot in all three books. While the tactical bits are well done, the strategy both sides use is baffling at best. It's problematic that things happen because everyone is being stupid. Any additional comments? The sequencing of scenes really seems out of place. At some point you figure out that the author is jumping back and forth in time. I think this is because it's supposed to enhance the mystery, but there is a difference between presenting the reader with a mystery and trying to confuse him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Cometeers-Audiobook/B00BI4RWIU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Campbell, Jr. at _Astounding_, American science fiction grew up. It became more mature, more sophisticated, less pulpish. Standards for story acceptance were tougher than before. But what of the old guard of pulp writers from the twenties and thirties? Many (like Otis Adelbert Kline and Ralph Milne Farley) stopped writing. Others (like Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Cummings, Stanton Coblentz, E.E. Smith, and David H. Keller) continued to write. But their stories of the forties and beyond were pretty much the same fare as what they wrote in the thirties. A few (like Jack Williamson, Murray Leinster, Edmond Hamilton, Clifford D. Simak, and Raymond Z. Gallun) were talented and flexible enough to change with the times. Gallun is still best remembered for his work from the thirties. But the other four writers are best remembered for their later, more mature works. Jack Williamson's _The Cometeers_ was written for Harry Bates, not John Campbell. It does not come from the days of the mature Williamson who wrote _The Humanoids_ or _Darker Than You Think_. It comes from the days when he was still experimenting with scientific adventures, weird horror tales, and space operas. It was serialized in _Astounding_ in 1936 and was first published in hardback in 1950. It is a sequel to his 1934 serial, _The Legion of Space_. The action takes place about twenty years later. Bob Star, son of John and Aladoree Star takes center stage. Returning are Legionaires Jay Kalam, Hal Samdu, and that loveable rascal, Giles Habibula-- always searching for food and drink: "A platter of ham and steak and eggs, with hot brown bread, and a pot of coffee to wash them down. And then perhaps an apple pie. You got up too mortal early, dragging a poor old soldier out of his bed without a blessed bite to eat. Let's go back to breakfast!" (187) As before, Giles is still moaning and complaining every step of the way: "Ah, me!... If that last lock was difficult, this one is impossible. The masters of the comet couldn't open it themselves, with all their precious science, if ever they lost the combination. What a lock! You could try possible combinations at random till the universe runs down, and the odds are a million to one the door would still be closed." (314) But it seems to me that there is a difference. In _The Legion of Space_, Giles makes complaints that are often whining and self-serving. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lifeburst-Audiobook/B00B2S9Y6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Didn't know this wasn't the first book Now I had no idea that this was book three of a series, for some reason the first is not an audiobook, happily though there is no need to listen to the first two audiobooks as Dead Earth: Sanctuary stood alone just fine. To me that is the way all book in a squeal should be, great stories independent of all others in the series. Dead Earth: Sanctuary is about the aftermath of the Earth being attacked by aliens that could control the dead, and one group of survivors trying to make it to a town called Sanctuary, a place safe from the walking dead. In this action packed gruesome zombie tale you will find interesting characters with a solid plot and that there is always something worst around the corner. Take a helping of Walking Dead, stir in a dollop of Falling Skies, season well with a few ground up bits of The Wizard of Oz, even a shake or two of Reign of Fire, and you have the broad-strokes start-up for Dead Earth: Sanctuary. HellBound Times Jay Snyder is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators. You wouldnt think that with such a deep and polished normal voice that he would have the range to evoke the voices of the characters in this or any book. Snyder commands each and every aspect of the story and mesmerizes my imagination with crisp clear enunciation that seems second nature to him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Invasion-Earth-Vs-the-Aliens-Audiobook/B008F9MV8C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A bucket of Suck This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This book should be under young adult books. It's that bad. It should be for those who don't love Sci-fi or war of the worlds. I always wanted a tale to enhance or expand the War of the Worlds tale, maybe even an update. THIS IS NOT THAT BOOK. This takes the story of WotW's and pours a thick coating of cat box all over it. Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Reginald again? Only if I was an international terrorist and I was caught and exposed to constant torture I'm sure then I would be forced to listen to more of this guys poor story telling. How did the narrator detract from the book? It's hard to know it's it's the words or how they are said that suck so bad. Sorry Mark F. Smith you should not be reading books. Your tones great like the a summer road crew working over time in hot Nevada summer. The way you talk sounds like you are 17 and not a 17 on my way to college but a 17 on my way smoke a bowl. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It did use Verbs, I found that acceptable. Any additional comments? This book fills a necessary void of books that should be turned into movies that star Matt Damon. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Thousand-Emperors-Audiobook/B0087EZH7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Standalone sequel warns danger in entrenched rule This sequel to Gary Gibson's 2011 novel "Final Days" takes the setting forward a few centuries to explore humanity's reaction to Earth's destruction, with a storyline structured around a murder investigation conducted by protagonist, Luc Gabion (whose surname reminds me of the author's own, perhaps deliberately). After a fairly action-filled opening raid, the story then slows down considerably as the investigation/mystery portion of the story proceed, and finally accelerate violently once the villains and victims are established. Aside from FTL wormhole transportation used in a strict government-controlled way, and ubiquitous non-sentient robots, the everyday technologies Gibson writes for Gabion's world is only very cautiously advanced from our own. He reserves the wider SF ideas and ambitions for a second society, called the Coalition, and resembling Iain M. Bank's Culture, glimpsed briefly in the ending chapters. With a quick opening lesson excerpted from a fictional history text, Gibson explains the division of society into two separate civilizations representing the opposing approaches to Earth's final disaster. On one side is the fearlessly progressive Coalition, which continue to explore and study the alien Founder's Network of wormholes and artifacts that brought about the cataclysm, and which culturally parallels the Western culture of our own society. In self-imposed isolation from these, we find the worlds of the Tian Di, a strict empire which takes a more conservative position by outlawing such investigation, and which suffers from technological and political stagnation. It is within this Tian Di society that our story unfolds, and though the eyes of a Tian Di commoner character that Gibson progressively acquaints us with his wider story universe, allowing the reader to experience the same surprises and discoveries. The story's conclusion hints at a future installment to the series which will hopefully be set in the Coalition, and will have a more cosmic, space-opera outlook. Unanswered questions regarding some of the characters from 'Final Days' can be addressed, and perhaps a multi-character perspective can break up the narrative again. Even without these elements from the first book, (not to mention the fascinating acrobatics with time paradoxes), I found 'The Thousand Emperors' to be an enjoyable five-star read, which can incidentally be enjoyed as as a standalone story, apart from the earlier novel. A thousand times before! Gary Gibson's story here is a decent one. Its well paced, has enough red herrings and twists in the plot to keep you interested throughout the telling. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Psychlone-Audiobook/B0096TP9BQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unusual horror/X-Files/sci-fi B-movie theme and style This is an unusual book - even for Greg Bear. You notice this right away from the writing style which evokes the time period in which story takes place (1960s I believe). Greg has created a weird mash up of creepy horror, X-Files, and rural B-movie sci-fi. The story does not fully crystallize until about 60% of the way through the book when he reveals the core issue around which everything revolves. What was missing for me was the hard science fiction I have grown used to reading from Greg Bear. What little "science" there was was mostly parapsychology type stuff, which is fine, but it was not as fleshed out as I would've liked, and the only so-called hard science was vague references to particle beams. The book definitely creates a dark horror tone that left me with nightmares for two nights in a row. This book left me wanting something more that I can't define. Intriguing Ghost Story In the small town of Lorobu, New Mexico, a horror struck. For an unknown reason all but one of its more than eight hundred citizens wound up dead. But not just dead...they took whatever household objects they could find and in a fit of unspeakable madness, killed each other and themselves. At an isolated cabin in the backwoods of California, a man took time off to visit his father for a few days. Later, the two men were found dead...the father killed his son and then himself. The military, along with a few select "civilian contractors", (and the one survivor from Lorobu) begins to research the horrible events at these two places -- Lorobu and the cabin in California. What they discover may flip our whole world upside down and bring to bare some of Humanity's worst fears and most profound horrors. Greg Bear's Psychlone is an interesting ghost story. What on Earth could turn hundreds of people so mad that they would kill themselves and others as they did. Psycholone explores a very tenuous ground for science fiction...viewing death from the spiritual point of view -- what happens to us after we die. (I say "tenuous" because science fiction is generally grounded in fact and then from those facts extrapolations are pulled. But with death and spirituality, there is very little hard fact.) Bear does a decent job of melding science fact with the realm of spirituality. The main problem with the tale was that there were just a few too many holes...how exactly were Lorobu and the cabin connected?? Nonetheless, I applaud Bear's attempt at combining science with the world of spirituality. The novel is recommended to anyone who enjoys Bear's stories...but don't expect a literary masterpiece. Lack of focus leaves this reader confused and disinterested A mysterious force plays havoc in a remote community in this sci-fi/fantasy by Greg Bear. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Great-Game-Audiobook/B0085LQCYE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unforgivable Casting Mistake I am really, really upset with Audible for what they did with this audiobook. There really isnt any excuse for it. For a company who is the leading distributor of audiobooks, and one of the major producers of audiobooks, a mistake in casting this bad should never be made. The book is told from the perspective of a woman, with many strong female characters, and the main antagonist are also female, yet, the narrator is a male. Not just a male, but a male with a pretty deep baritone voice. I can not tell you how many times in this 6 hour production that I had to remind myself that the narrative voice should be female. The funny thing is, when the book originally started, I thought that perhaps the Hardemans were a homosexual couple, until I found out that our perspective characters name was Lucinda. Now, Dennis Holland isnt a bad narrator. He did a great job giving the book a Texas feel, but it was a male Texas feel. Having a male narrator was simply asinine. There are so many great female narrators that could have taken on this role, Xe Sands, Cassandra Campbell, Khristine Hvam Hell, Tai Sammons would have been brilliant here. It angers me to no end how simply wrong and lazy this casting was. It would have been like casting Tom Arnold to star in Pretty Women, or to have Carrot Top star in a Malcolm X biopic, or cast Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher oh, wait So, yes. WRONG. I just wonder if anyone at Audible actually read the novel. Harrumph Good not great Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, it was well worth the listen. What does Dennis Holland bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book? Narrated well, production was seamless, no heavy breathing or noticed edit breaks. Any additional comments? This was not as action packed as I had expected. The story is good enough that you pay attention to characters, but not as exciting as other titles in the SHTF / T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I. genre that seems to be expanding with new stories monthly. As a prepper myself I love to read(listen) these books for the authors point of view and research on post fall living. What the HECK? This is a post apocalypse story of a family who lives out in the wilderness when everything goes to hell in the world. They for the most part had been living off the land and fending for themselves when it happens so for them not much changes. The story was well written and there was some depth to it. However, I felt like it was written in a way that was to pleasant for this type of subject matter, she was as uneasy as a fox in a box or they were as busy as ticks in a tar bucket. A lot of statements like this in every chapter; it just didnt fit with this genre. I have probably read/listen to just about every Post Apocalypse book out there and had never come across one that was as warm and nice as this. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Proxies-Audiobook/B007MD7TYS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Kiteworld Author: Keith Roberts Narrator: Gideon Emery Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-11 Publisher: Wildside Press LLC Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Kiteworld was the last major work from Keith Roberts, one of the 20th century's great masters of science fiction, whose classic Pavane was selected by Anthony Burgess in Ninety-Nine Novels as one of the best works of fiction published in the English language since World War II. The Sunday Times (London) has characterized Roberts' work as "something like a cross between Thomas Hardy and Russell Hoban... powerfully imaginative and absorbing." A panoramic novel of men and machines, Kiteworld presents a future world in which sturdy, highly trained crews launch daring pilots into the stratosphere, borne aloft on giant Cody manlifter kites to watch the horizon and the skies for demonic monsters strikingly suggestive of guided missiles and aircraft. Intense, detailed, and meticulously observed, the world of the novel is a future in which our world, after a catastrophe that has severed humanity from its past, is such a vague memory that details survive only as myth. Against this background, several lives and stories unfold: Raoul, the Kite cadet, who has killed a strange and unsettling mutant and is doomed to suffer pangs of guilt that ground him; Tan, the "special" child, whose brother, Kitecaptain Manning, is devoted to her protection at any cost; and the child-woman Velvet, orphan, procuress, and thief. As the world of the Realm resolves and becomes clear and sharp, all the conflicts heighten, and it is everywhere evident that a great battle is to come, in which the whole world will be altered forever. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Keith Roberts) Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:44:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kiteworld-Audiobook/B005KBQU6M thebookvoice.com 11:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A muddle The premise of the book seemed good, and the writing style is fine, but the story seemed very opaque to me. I got a but under 1/2 way though before giving up, confused and somewhat bored. The story seemed to be going nowhere and was rather depressing to boot. Gideon's reading was fine, with good modulation and phrasing that did not distract, and although his range of voices was not huge it was quite up to the task. Possibly if I had continued on I would have seen threads pulled together, but I'm afraid I lost the will to find out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Molt-Brother-Audiobook/B005Z4ETX0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Slower-paced, but still OK The concluding books of a trilogy are usually a bit disappointing because much of the novelty of the saga's "universe" and much of its plot and character development have been told in the first two books. The familiarity starts to wear thin by the last book. That is definitely true here. I thought the first book of the trilogy WITHOUT WARNING rated five stars, and the second book AFTER AMERICA was even better, being flawless in plot, action, and characterization...and especially enlightening as to the chaotic world that would be left if 96% of the U.S. population suddenly disappeared. Because the first two books are so excellent, there is a bit of a letdown here. The first few chapters move very fast and then the pace slows down. There's just not that much to add to the story line that hasn't been told in the first two books. Despite being on the slow side toward the end, the book does have its high points. Here is what I liked: * The exploits of the Echelon operative Caitlin Monroe are well told. Caitlin's character is fleshed out and gives us the feeling that we're reading about a real person instead of a plot device. * The infiltration and combat sequences seem realistic without being cartoonish in a James Bond sort of way. * The characters are complete. Birmingham knows how to portray characters as real human beings. The "good guys" have their weaknesses and most of the "bad guys" have some virtues. No human being is all-white or all-black. The book shows how people make difficult compromises to cope with dreadfully difficult circumstances. For example, it suggests that some of the defeated jihadist prisoners who were captured after infesting America's depopulated East Coast might be granted American citizenship in return for agreeing to join our armies and fighting for us against other enemies for ten years. * The story line is realistic. The book explains in a very rational sort of way how the United States would go about rebuilding itself if 96% of our people suddenly vanished in an incomprehensible natural catastrophic event (In this trilogy the extinction event happens to be an energy "wave" of unknown cosmic origin). The 4% who are left as survivors would have an immense but not insurmountable job on their hands. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Karls-Last-Flight-Audiobook/B00507ANZK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is great book, dealing with terrorists and marines. The main character was a Marine pilot turned astronaut, who due to an accident crash lands and gets into a situation more dangerous then one he experienced. Once I started listening, it was hard to pause.Great audiobook. Incredible characters! Loved the chance to get to know the characters. I thought I knew where the plot was going several times, but was pleasantly surprised each time things went a different direction. Just Brilliant! This book was an unexpected delight, from the story itself, the writing style, to the fantastic narration. I was only about half an hour into the book when I hopped onto audible to see what other books the author and narrator had done, only to see the author and narrator were one and the same. I'll be getting the rest of Basil Sand's novels after this. The story is book-ended by amusing but relevant advertisement for StrataCorp, the lead character's employer, and then proceeds into a tale of incredible adventure where chance leads Karl into another world and an adventure on a global scale. In parallel to the main tale, there is also a flashback story, also relevant, tying into the ending. The characters are all well developed, individual, and likable. And the narration fantastic, and each character having a distinct voice. Highly recommended. Another amazing performance! This book started out action packed, ended action packed, and it was action packed in between. I love how he was able to combine two completely different professions very believably. Astronaut and Marine. You get two great stories in one book with the suspenseful flashbacks. The only thing keeping me sane was, I knew he lived through the past. One thing that really stood out for me was the fighting; the way he describes the action, gore, suspense, and the fear. It takes real skill to be able to picture the fighting scene in your head then recreate it in writing, on paper, for the reader; but with his skill narrating, it adds a whole new level to the book, making it tremendously entertaining. His ability to create the characters so flawlessly and bring life to the accented voices, makes me think he is inhuman. Excellent! I will recommend it to many! Could Not Finish Reviewing this book is really not possible, since I could not get past the first hour. The narration is inadequate and the story worse https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Bones-of-Empire-Audiobook/B0043BQT2K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Bones If you could sum up Bones of Empire in three words, what would they be? Jack Cato - WOW What did you like best about this story? Bill's ability to move seamlessly from scene to scene and never miss a beat. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? There were a number of WAY-TO-GO moments for both Jack and CeCe. The ending was especially touching and a little emotional. CeCe's love for Jack and Jacks love for CeCe and all she went through for him was masterfully developed. Way to go Bill. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Titus-Alone-Audiobook/B005DG4P5M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Well written but tedious A lot of excellent writing. Interesting, well-drawn characters. Just a bit too tedious for my tastes. This first volume does not stand alone, so plan on the whole trilogy. I doubt I'll continue. The writing in "Titus Alone" is less brilliant than in the previous two books Mervyn Peake's unique masterpiece. The writing in "Titus Alone" is less brilliant than in the previous two books, but still a verbally dazzling and very evocative novel. Five Stars Excellent! Lyrical, morose Scares you with words! If you love well written fantasy this is for you! In the genre of Tolkien meets Catcher in the Rye fantasy at its best If you like battle of good and evil in a fantasy setting this is for you. Dense plottimg, full characters, language intense. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Burn-Audiobook/B002VCL70W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Harlan Ellison reads Harvey Jacobs' existential fish story, "Spawning," with comic restraint. From the pen of the wonderful Pat Murphy comes "Dragon's Gate," a tale about a prince, a minstrel and, of course, a dragon, that sets the entire tradition of such stories on its ear.

A few of these stories were good (Dragon Gate, Repository) and a few were surreal (Clem Crowder's Catch, and Spawning).

So twisted, and more! Only if you read the book! ONLY IF YOU READED THE BOOK. I had to state it twice! I am about the give a few spoiler without total spoiling. 1.In the Book the duke loves to takes footage of people deaths and takes pride in his art. (Guy really twisted!) Audiobook don't go into detail about how twisted this guy is! 2.While entertaining a few guest. the Duke brought out few slave girls. One of his guest is female, (in the audiobook there is nothing about is never mention...) Listening to the audio book the Duke is nothing, plain, just a gun dealer who took other groups from other earlier books, and forming a twisted army. The audiobook paints a small pitcher of him that makes him week and his evil army... As of every audio book. They are not complete and that is why I give a one star for audiobooks.

Members Reviews: A good AD (Audio Drama) addition to this series My 2Â First off, if you don't like the Audio Dramas (versus the eBooks), then I don't really see any reason you'd want to buy this (other than getting anything with the Horus Heresy stamp on it). If (like me) you appreciate the Audio Dramas in the HH series, you should like this one. Unlike some of the earliest Audio Dramas in the HH series, in this one they do not reuse battle sounds over and over for what are supposedly different battles. This story progresses the one from the Horus Heresy book The Outcast Dead (which wasn't a great read), and also intertwines some elements from the previous Audio Dramas in the HH series. I firmly believe the HH ADs are a story inside the overall HH series, and they are leading to their own conclusion separate from any book. If you read The Outcast Dead and think you will be missing something if you don't pick this up, don't worry you aren't. If you like the HH ADs as their own story, then i would definitely pick this up. The ending will undoubtedly tie into the future AD's in the series and it also raises a rather strange question about Terra and what happened in the wake of Magnus' warning to the Emperor. Fav Just amazing everyone that took part in this and all the Horus Heresy are top list in my book Out Cast Dead part 2 This story takes place after the events of the OUT CAST DEAD. The last of the escapees is on the run. The Lunar Wolf must try to escape the maze of the Petitioners City in the Shadow the Imperial Place. The Wolf has decide where is loyalties reside. The Hunter is trying not kill has prey, but he may have no choice. It is good piece of the Horus Hersey collection for fans of the Lunar Wolves. Not long enough This was an excellent story, very well presented, unfortunately I didn't do enough research to find that it's only just over 1 hour long. This is NOT and audio book, it's an audio "short story" I guess that what they mean by audio drama. If it was more content for the price would have given 5 stars. Love it. Great audio book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Watcher-Audiobook/B077P9Y23Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wow,i loved it There are moments to everything. Time travel is no different. As many as I like time travel stories it ever annoys me when people go galavanting within time like going to the limited Walmart. In We Happy Few there are serious results connected with time travel. To hear what they are you'll have to know the story. You will not be dissatisfied.While far-fetched with no reason for history, it was completely changed and amazing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Pizza-Man-Audiobook/B074ZSZT45 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Highly entertaining and quirky sci-fi This is my third "Fembot Sally" book that I've listened to. I find this series so fun and entertaining. This book was a bit more sexual than I remember the other two books being, but I guess you have to expect that with the Wild West, saloons, and whore-houses. I absolutely love the narrator for this book, Alison Campbell. She really adds to the story and makes the Fembots come alive. She is exactly what I would have chosen as narrator. If you like quirky science fiction, I highly recommend this book (as well as the rest in the series). I can't wait for the next audio to come out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wandl-the-Invader-Audiobook/B071XXLFTY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This tale gets pretty exciting at times. An explanation of the characters leads the reader to recognize them as the story proceeds. A great tribute to the author who passed away in 1957 after writing a series of sci-fi tales.. If you like to read science fiction in the old way, you will enjoy reading this story.

Members Reviews: A Necessary Short So, you see the length of this short and wonder why? It's a necessary elaboration about Viktor's early days, after waking up in the Carpathians, told as a story to Kira. After reading this, you will understand more fully Viktor's bond with his ship, Sleipnir. Well done, and completely worth a couple bucks. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Lament-Audiobook/B0713WK5J7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Thoroughly enjoyable. Vivid characters. snowcrash-esque (which I continue to love). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the interesting Dystopian world it was set in. I wanted to read more! The code holds the secrets Would you listen to Lament again? Why? Yes it was well written and the narration was excellent What other book might you compare Lament to and why? I don't compare books , I think it is rude and not helpful. Have you listened to any of Jack Wallens other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes , many of the books he has narrated. I like his style. He uses his voice instead of sound effects that drown out the narrator's voice to get the utmost reaction from his audience. Any additional comments? It was unlike anything I had read before. Fast, Complex and well written.I am not Tech savvy or a Cyber Geek and yet this book was enjoyable and not over my head. Cyber punk Jet is the one who discovered Lament and named it and is the creator of Somnambulous and it employs some of the top hackers a team thats main purpose is to look after Human population and protect them by taking down Big Data &Big Pharma .The team consist of the best of the best Jet ,Sidy Sin for short, Anvil,Rez is second in charge, and the newest member Lurch. Jinnai(Jin),has always been on Jets side and will help him in any way she can.Plus Jet is one of the few people that can understand Jin speak.She may have a future at Somamabulous as a team member(She is a delightful character.)She is the Princess of OR. A cute smart and inventive cherub of a girl. Their Arch nemesis is at Pharm Con is Dorian Drake a construct that may not be as bad as he seems. Eccentric yes,but perhaps not altogether bad.His boss or the Boss over the whole of Pharm Con and DataThe CHER a much more sinister Construct that has evolved and holds human life in such low regard. A few other players is the World Security Agency (WSA) Lament the overwhelming craving for Data.It does bad things to the human body and mind if they cant get their fix of data. This story takes place in two worlds, Real Time (RT) and Ocular Reality (OR).A few of the key players in OR is Kagami The leader of Yakuza in the Shinjuku area a dark and seedy place.And she can call the Reavers if you are a troublemaker to whipe you out. AK is the main Club in OR Built for the Cosplaying folks seeking petabyte data downloads. Ravenouse can get you whatever you desire in clubAK.Be careful in Club AK or you could find yourself a willing prisoner . There are many dangerous forgotten fragments of old code that have evolved into things that can easily take your life in Plague town in OR This was a delightful hackers dream of a story in a future world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Fun-City-Punch-Audiobook/B06XKPQL61 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Not exactly, but yeah. I got hooked. Trace is a colonial scout. They have these portable wormhole devices and explore the galaxy looking for habitable worlds. I really liked the Stargate movie and all three tv shows, yes including Stargate Universe so the premise was an easy sell. I received an audible code for a free review copy of this story and listened to it while trekking nearly unknown country backroads in Upstate New York. Trace had a bit of a bungle on his first mission as team leader, so hes surprised when his better qualified girlfriend Impeny gets passed over and he is selected to lead a five person team on a rescue mission. Now Trace needs to save the day and figure out how to get along with his girlfriend again. He learns that each persons traits can either be troublesome quirks or great strengths, but did he figure it out in time to stop the mold zombies from taking every last living colonist into the fungus forest? Dont be lazy, read it for yourself! Har har har. On top of Traces other difficulties, the colony is run by non-other that his father, who has a bone to pick with Trace for his career choice. The colony is about more than money, they are studying the rapid growth of the indigenous plants to find a cure for galactic famine. I have not read the first book, but it was very easy to jump into the adventure with Alien Jungle. This story is appropriate for all ages and Im looking forward to listening again with my nine year old son as soon as we get past our sword and sorcery kick. I sometimes feel a bit bogged down when a story has multiple points of view, but there was a really good balance here. We get bits from a few other characters, but its easy to tell that Trace is our protagonist and the side POVs often give the reader a glimpse of Trace that he wouldnt see about himself. Exciting, involving, visual I have been a fan of Roxanne Smolen for many years, and have read this book in print form. But I must admit that hearing it gave it a new dimension. Her books are excellently plotted, her characters multi-layered, her descriptions so real you can smell them. This book is no exception. It is a fast-paced ride through danger after danger, yet the young people of the Colonial Scouts manage to find their way past them. Ms. Fournier, the reader, has hit her stride here and gives an outstanding performance. Listening to the words allowed me to visualize the worlds Smolen has created more clearly and I enjoyed the experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Night-of-the-Long-Knives-Audiobook/B01N7PKCSI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Night of the Long Knives Author: Fritz Leiber Narrator: Edward Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: "The Night of the Long Knives" is an uncompromisingly bleak and rugged sci-fi novella by Fritz Leiber, published in 1960. America has been transformed into a nuclear hellhole called the "Deathlands", where the survivors must do just that - survive - by pillaging and killing...

After an atomic holocaust, a man meets a woman in what he calls, The Deadlands, a post atomic area that has still a few survivors â but they survive because the are killers. But they make love, they learn to trust one another as best they can, they meet an old guy with a lot of wisdom who appears after an odd plane from another area lands and they kill the pilot. Then follows adventure after adventure as the old man, who is now amember of âMurderers Anonymousâ â tries to convince the couple that killing solves nothing. This is a classic sci-fi/fantasy tale from one of the masters of the genre from the Golden Era of sci-fi/fantasy â a fun read! Give This Fritz Leiber Sci-Fi Novella a Try. The Night of the Long Knives by Fritz Leiber simply stands the test of time as far as post-apocalypse SF stories go. Written over fifty years ago, the concept of survival in a radioactive wasteland that was once America is still fresh. This is a very promising short novel by Fritz Leiber. It makes me want to read more titles by this author, some available on Kindle. No Finlay art, just a good story Despite listing "art by Finlay" there is no Virgil Finlay art in this kindle book; however there is in other e-versions, and you can always poke around the internet and turn up an illustration or two. But the book is free, so you can't really complain too much. The story is a novella - 93 kindle pages, with a distinct beginning, middle and end. That might sound trite, but in structure its closer to novel than merely being a glorified short story. This is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival in a world of radiation poisoning, madness, and social and religious upheaval. It's a bit fast and loose with the timeframes on occasion, as well as how much of the "old world" people remember, but a large part of that can be put down to having a narrator that is not just unreliable, but pretty much insane. Said Narrator is "Ray", and the book starts out with him in the Deathlands, meeting "Alice", doing murder, and running into a strange old man called "Pop", who is a card-carrying member of Murderers Anonymus (MA for short). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Europas-Child-Audiobook/B01N32XVFU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Really great story that made me think about whether we should be poking around out there in space looking for life. Kellie did a really great job narrating the story and bringing it to life.

Übersetzung von Petra Koob-Pawis und Michaela Link (P)2017 der Hörverlag Mitglieder Bewertungen: ein guter, solider Auftakt zu einer innovativen, interessanten Reihe mit Potential nach oben In einer Galaxie in der die unterschiedlichsten Völker leben, von friedliebend bis kriegerisch, hat jeder Mensch eine Lebensgabe. Diese sind so unterschiedlich wie die Menschen an sich, jede Lebensgabe ist besonders, aber nicht immer angenehm für den Betreffenden. Cyra ist die Schwester von Ryzek Noavek, dem brutalen Herrscher von Shotet. Ihre Lebensgabe ist Schmerz, den sie gezielt gegen Feinde ihres tyrannischen Bruders einsetzen muss. Das sie dabei selbst unter unbeschreiblichen Qualen leidet ist Ryzek völlig egal. Er kämpft gegen sein eigenes Schicksal das er unter allen Umständen verhindern will. Akos stammt aus dem Volk der Thuvhesi, einen friedlichen aber zähen Volk. Er ist das jüngste von drei Kindern und seine Mutter ist das Orakel von Thuvhe das die Schicksale bestimmter Menschen vorhersehen kann. Akos und seine Geschwister haben alle Schicksale zu erfüllen. Als eines Tages Shotes Krieger in sein Haus eindringen und Akos und seinen Bruder Eijeh entführen und deren Vater hinrichten hat Akos nur zwei Möglichkeiten, zerbreche an deinem Schicksal oder werde stark. Um seinen Bruder retten zu können, muss Akos das böse Spiel von Ryzek mitspielen, der ihn in den Dienst von Cyra gestellt hat, da nur seine Lebensgabe Cyra und ihren unbeschreiblichen Schmerzen Linderung verschaffen kann. Doch Akos ist nicht der unterwürfige, schwache Thuvhesi für den er gehalten wird und er hat einen Plan. Die Frage ist nur ob Cyra ihn unterstützt oder ihn an ihren Bruder ausliefert. Rat der Neun war ein absolutes "Must-Read" Buch für mich, die Geschichte hat mich angesprochen und ich fand die Idee innovativ. Das Cover ist sehr gelungen und meines Erachtens sehr ansprechend. Der Schreibstil von Veronica Roth war jedoch stellenweise sehr anstrengend und verwirrend, sodass ich zu anfangs etwas Schwierigkeiten hatte in die Erzählung hinein zu finden. Auch empfand ich den Stil als recht "steril" bzw. fehlte mir die tiefe der Charaktere etwas. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Colt-Coltrane-and-the-Lotus-Killer-Audiobook/B01M5GT2T0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Captivating Mystery with a Soulful Narrarator! This audiobook is a blast to listen to! It is a great mystery with suspense, depth, and humor. I definitely found myself sitting on the edge of my seat as well as laughing out loud! Chase Bradley is an excellent narrator and really draws the listener in with his rich and colorful tone. It is as if his voice steps right out of the era this story is set in. His various accents are right on the money and really help to visualize the characters! This is a great read/listen and I would highly recommend it to anyone that loves a great mystery! You will be on the edge of your seat! Great performance! As this book was a departure for me from what I normally read or listen to, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It had a kind of "film noire" tone and the narrator, Chase Bradley, did a stellar job at creating a believable picture in my mind. Loved his rich, deep voice! I highly recommend this audible book! Entertaining Book! the narrator was awesome. He definitely kept you interested in the book and was very easy to listen to. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to another audiobook narrated by him https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Alien-Fear-Audiobook/B01M336XP0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"COME GET YOU WEE LEE UM" Members Reviews: A good modern day fantasy-ish read with roots in reality. This review is for all 5 parts to the story. I really enjoyed how the story flowed. About the only thing I didn't care for was how exaggerated the part was about the cop that pulls him over. Unless he shows up in The Rock and has a major role, there was too much time spent on that arc of the story in my opinion. Now the rest of the story however, is a great read. I really enjoyed how real the story was. A good example is when he tells about the shotgun only holding 3 rounds because there was a plug in it to reduce magazine capacity. Granted, most tactical versions (at least in my state) don't come with them, but it is a realistic aspect that I really appreciate because all too often you have the heroes that never run out of ammo, and that really annoys me as a true second amendment enthusiast. I really related to the character as well because my step dad is a tinkerer, not to the extreme that Wil-ee-ums dad is, but I too learned from a young age to tinker, do projects, and put together random things to create something useful. I'm eagerly awaiting The Rock. On the author's website, he mentions that he's working with an agent or getting an agent so who knows when the next installment will be available....and I'm hoping it won't have some crazy price because I'm really put off by expensive ebooks, as you can't share with friends, sell or trade them after you read them...but that's off topic. Read all 5 installments of The Island, they are well worth the $1.98 you pay for the last 2 parts. Best of all the Parts Part 4, for me, is far and away the best of all five parts of this book. Stark pulls out all the stops: the descriptions are gruesome, danger comes from unexpected places, and the suspense is palpable. The humanness of the main character, William Hill, made me love Part 4 also. Hill is likable but also makes dumb decisions. When writing William Hill, Stark walks that fine line where Hill isn't the infallible apocalypse hero, but also manages to not make it look like he's trying really really hard to not make Hill come off as "that guy". *Review re-posted from goodreads.com The Island part 4 Wow....

Gray Narrator: Melissa Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-16 Publisher: Wanderlust Publishing Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The refugee caves have been destroyed, and most of the refugees are dead. The Potentate now knows of their existence and will stop at nothing to wipe them out completely. He suspects that terrorist Jackson MacNamera is among them, as well as reporter Kate Brandeis's fiancé, hacker Will Anderson - and probably therefore Kate herself. Now that the Potentate is aware of security threats, most of the strategies the rebels used to get back onto the grid before now no longer work. The Potentate knows the rebels are on foot, and he knows they were at the caves not long ago. They can't get far. The remaining rebels, among them Jackson and Kate, have Kate's fiancé Will to thank for their survival: he arrived back from the dead and in the nick of time, bearing classified information about the Potentate's plans to expand his influence internationally. But the remaining rebels and the Council cannot agree on whether their top priority should be spreading truth far and wide and freeing as many citizens from government control as possible, knowing that they will likely die in the process, or escaping to New Estonia, in hopes that they might live out the rest of their days in peace. Kate, meanwhile, finds herself torn between Jackson and the fiancé she thought she lost, and between the damsel-in-distress she once was, and the rebel she believes she has always been underneath. Whether the other hunters will support her or no, she knows she must use her influence over the people of the Republic to tell them the truth, no matter the cost. But is she strong enough to withstand the government's lies? biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.A.

Members Reviews: Realistic Dystopia I really liked how the main character Kate progressed in her skill levels throughout the book and was trying to overcome how in her past where everyone else did everything for her. I am not much for love triangles but I actually do like the Jackson-Kate-Will dynamic, which adds some interesting situations in a world where the rebels are always on the move. As what continues from the first book, is this question of what is the truth and is it better sometimes to be living in a lie? All of the characters in this book have to ask that question to themselves. I honestly really like this book and it's actually a little frightening that it seems like all of these things could really happen in real life! Great continuation of the story. I think I actually liked book two in this series better than I liked the first book. I felt like we got more answers, and could start to really piece the story together and understand what was really going on. I enjoy the main characters, and the conflict is well written. The storyline is unique and keeps you guessing. 5 Stars. This keeps the story going When I first started the series I was not sold on the first book but this one really brings it on . I love CA Grays Piercing the Veil series and this one is starting to prove it is as good. Four Stars Good read. Smart, well-written, and entertaining dystopian fiction I loved The Liberty Box, and I was so excited to get my hands on an ARC of The Eden Conspiracy! The sequel to a favorite book can sometimes be a little lackluster, but that is definitely not the case with The Eden Conspiracy. I may have loved it even more than The Liberty Box. The writing is smart and drew me in right from the very beginning. I love the characters â especially Kate and Jackson. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hive-Monkey-Audiobook/B01JPL5QDA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: finally, a sequel that's better than the original there were several problems with the first ack-ack macaque book, and i was very pleased to see that this sequel fixed some of them and in general was a better book. ack-ack himself takes center stage and the majority of the book revolves around him, which is exactly what i wanted. ack-ack is honestly one of the best characters i've read about in the past few years, i absolutely love him. hive monkey also dumps some of the pointless stuff from the first book. merovech and julie aren't really in the book at all, which is a relief because i thought they were pretty bland characters. the hacker girl k8 is back, and i was very impressed at how she finally turned into a real character instead of just a plot device. her complex friendship with ack-ack served as the emotional center of the whole story, and the suicide run that ack-ack makes in order to rescue her was thrilling and rewarding. the villains in this book are also more interesting and creative, and their actions really seem directly threatening, which really gives the heroes a solid enemy to face and allows for some great action scenes. the big climax of the book during the attack on the airship was just fantastic, and ack-ack's meeting with the "leader" was also wonderfully clever. my only problem are the other side characters, the scifi writer guy and his family from another dimension. honestly i wasn't sure they were even necessary in the book at all. i don't even remember the writer guy's name, that's how unmemorable he was. and the ending of the book really annoyed me, because it just stops without a clear resolution to all that has happened, instead giving a big hint about the upcoming third book in the series. after reading all that, i felt kind of cheated that it lacked a real ending. Review of Hive Monkey A fun action-adventure romp through the world Powell established in Ack-Ack Macaque, very satisfied with my purchase. Hive Monkey pits everyone's favorite cigar chomping, whiskey swilling primate against a Borg-like hive mind with nefarious goals for this earth. Well worth reading, I finished in just a couple of days because once I started reading I couldn't put Hive Monkey down! A monkey of a wild tale! Ack-Ack Macaque made his debut in the eponymous novel from last year, and comes back strong in Gareth Powell's sequel, Hive Monkey. The cigar-smoking, hard-drinking, Spitfire-flying, enhanced monkey helped to save the world from nuclear Armageddon in the first novel. In Hive Monkey, he's called on to save the world again, this time from an invasion from a parallel universe. This is a sequel, and readers will want to read these in order. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dekkers-Dozen-Audiobook/B01IA810AC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

One in particular, transporting Austicon - the assassin who stalked his family for generations - to a max-lock detention, was supposed to close a dark chapter in Dekker's life. After Earth's constables botch Austicon's incarceration, Dekker's team is forced to hunt down the galaxies' most heinous criminal all over again when a mysterious man claiming to be an ancient, time-traveling prophet intrudes on them. Ezekiel claims Dekker will soon annihilate of all reality - and he knows all of Dekker's secrets: that he wields an ancient, celestial weapon, was once married to a terrorist, and is the last member of the Watchmen - an ancient secret society with roots tracing back to Solomon. Following Austicon's theft of a superweapon, Dekker and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Earth's annihilation.

Christopher has done it again! Fantastic worlds come to life in an epic way. Beautiful and terrifying language depicts a realm that will leave your mind reeling at the possibilities. The amazingly descriptive writing style offers nearly hallucinogenic detail for your imagination to feast upon. Buy a copy today! You won't be disappointed. Great read Right out of this world, got it all demons,gods, good guys and bad. Space ships of all sort its here Science Fiction. Zombie bad guys. And a unique religious twist. Readers will love it! Having read one of Chris's non-fiction works (Why Your Pastor Left?) recently, I wasn't sure what to expect from his fiction side. I was not disappointed. The Last Watchmen was a brilliant exercise in leaving genre-boundaries behind. There's certainly an element of science fiction as Chris introduces new and unique races to the typical pantheon as well as bringing in fascinating technology. Guns blaze, ships soar, and epic battles ensue - everything sci-fi readers love. But there's a low fantasy element as well. Without giving away too many secrets, any author who can effectively insert zombies into his science fiction, is definitely worth his salt. And if that isn't enough, Chris brings in a spiritual basis that is so much more than the genre typically permits. The apocalyptic theme weaves right in with the rest of the book and enthralls me - making me want to keep reading. Seal all of these elements with deep characters and a hot-and-cold love affair, and you have the makings of a great work of art. Chris develops all of this at a quick pace and never gives the reader a chance to catch his breath. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Question-Woman-Howling-Sky-Audiobook/B01H7TTWJG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Question Woman & Howling Sky Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? A very intriguing mystery, part supernatural and some part of romance, the reader and the listeners if this book will remember this book for a long time. Interesting take on the dystopian novel This was an interesting dystopian novel combined with some Navajo spiritualism. I think the part I most enjoyed were the bits of Navajo culture and philosophy. The characters were really interesting and I liked the fact that the main character, Maya (AKA Question Woman) practices healing as an herbalist. This book keeps a pretty steady pace all the way to the end. I listened to the Audible audio version narrated by Gary Roelofs. I think his voice was perfect for the narration. He did a great job with the different voices and was a pleasure to listen to. Overall, I think this is an interesting take on the dystopian novel, and am looking forward to reading more by this author. and He does it again!! Love Phillip Mather! What did you love best about Question Woman & Howling Sky? Narration If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Make Phillip Mather the narrator in the MOVIE! Any additional comments? Yet again, looking forward to more from P.Mather! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Prepper-Reconstruction-Audiobook/B01G91LL6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Music to my ears Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The narrative is as beautiful as the story itself. I've written a full review for the paperback edition of Tiny Instruments. The same holds, here as well. I can't imagine someone who won't fall in love with Tc5. The creativity is really detailed. Aside from being a story that is moving, it builds a world that really draws the reader in. Though the story is self contained and does offer a resolution, I wouldn't mind reading a part 2 of this. Highly recommended. What other book might you compare Tiny Instruments to and why? I could compare it's exploration of human behavior to the Hobbit, though I like this one more to be frank. I know that's a bold statement, but that's just what I think. The writing is in a league of its own. I haven't come across such quality in a really long time and I would not hesitate to mention this author in the same vein as some of the greats. What does Phil Mayes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Well, I recognized the beauty of the writing when I read the book very early on, but Phil Mayes' voice narration really amplified that quality. The prose is so lyrical and elegant. Like I said, music to the ears. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Many. I don't want to ruin any part of the book for a new reader, so I will refrain from giving specifics. But there were many. All I will say is that you will cry. Any additional comments? Really looking forward to another work from this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cooking-Will-Survive-Audiobook/B01F8T342I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The author had a chance to do something incredible with zombies and cooking in survival mode, but in my opinion she failed.

Members Reviews: Amazing but Something Was Missing *I received an ARC of this book from the author and this has in no way affected my review.* A strong 4.5 but not quite a 5. This book is exactly what I wanted from this series. You may remember my review of book 2 in this series in which I said I wanted more action and backstory and this book fulfilled most of that wish! We got to see so much more action instead of just guidebook-like tips for living and I think that is what made this book. The reader got to see Addison and her friends actually get chased around and sometimes, some of them died but again, that is what MADE this book. The action and actual story fueled this book and kept me interested the whole way through. I also loved learning a little bit more of the characters that are only mentioned, such as Genie and Milo. The reader is finally let into their world and learns more about them. I think this book is the best one of the series and I do hope there are more like this one! I'd actually kind of like to see what happened after the book - if they actually got to JFK, what happened to Addison and Milo, and what the JFK community was like. This book is what I needed from this series and I'm so glad we got it! Zombie gripper I love zombie fiction of all kinds so a bit of YA zombie fiction was a must have for me, and even though this was well into the series, and I hadn't read the others [want to now!] I could easily follow the story and get to know the characters and visualise the action. From the outset it's an all action book, and it's really good, up there with other zombie fiction, surpassing some in the 'adult' category. Yup, safe to say I enjoyed this as much as I hoped I was going to when I bought it.

Title: Andy Weir's The Martian Summary & Review Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Charles B. Burrell Format: Unabridged Length: 30 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The novel The Martian very skillfully captures the attention of science fiction lovers as well as young adults. Andy Weir's ability is showcased by the exquisite portrayal of a story woven around a person who is stranded on Mars. The story covers the hurdles faced by Mark Watney when he is deserted accidentally on the surface of Mars during a space mission. He has to utilize the limited resources available and needs to reach a place from where he can be recovered. To rescue Mark, a mission is proposed by his previous crewmates and the administration at NASA. The end of the book is positive, as it results in Mark's recovery and emphasizes the progress in humans' interplanetary future. The book contains some content that might offend secondary listeners like teachers and parents. They might find sentences like "I'm pretty much f--ked" obscene. The same pattern is followed throughout the book, which might create a political and social environment that might obscure the book's objective. Some challenges might also be proposed against the text and, in extreme cases, banning of the book might occur. But the hype against the book cannot diminish its purpose and appeal. The text that might appear obscene to some teachers and parents is not included to promote vulgarity. It is included just to highlight a person's reactions when he faces difficulties. Any person facing the hardships that are faced by Watney may say similar sentences. In fact, bans will only promote the book, as listeners will be curious to know the reason for the ban. The text contains specific details and facts that were provided when the book was written. The text glorifies the story contained and does not encourage obscenity, as some listeners worry. The thoughts during the narration of the story flow freely, making it a good script. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ant Hive Media) Fri, 18 Mar 2016 01:60:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Andy-Weirs-The-Martian-Summary-Review-Audiobook/B01D3U1KVG thebookvoice.com 00:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worth a look... but look for it on a deal The blurb for 'Night of the Nazi Zombies' reads I"n the early hours of the D-Day invasion, Sergeant Smith and his unit of elite airborne infantry arrive in occupied France. Their mission is to capture a series of important bridges deep behind enemy lines prior to the arrival of the main infantry. It soon becomes apparent, however, that the Germans have a terrifying secret weapon, one that could drive the Allies back into the sea and could change the fate of the war!" I had not heard of the author Michael G Thomas before but as it turned out the author has certainly done a far bit of work with several other zombie titles. Doug Miller is the narrater, I could not find too much information on other titles narrated by Doug Miller. I'll start with comments about the narration, as usual in what seems to be in the industry standard the narration is slow and can be easily listened to at 1.25 or 1.5x speed. Of course the big negative with this is not the quality of the sound, rather how it changes the dollar per hour ratio dramatically. The audio book is already on the short side with only just a tad over 6 hours long. Increasing the speed certainly lessened the listening time. So if you are cheap like me please take that into consideration. The narration was ok considering the task set out for the narrater, he was faced with having to do several different nationalities and both genders. I could not really fault the narration. I could clearly understand him and only in one spot could I hear the tell tale paper wrestle. While it was no RC Bray type affair is certainly wasn't bad! With my gripe of the total listening time being addressed it is time to move onto the story itself. I have listened to a lot of zombie stories but strangely this is the first I have listened to from start to end based on the concept of nazi zombies. This is strange considering on how many zombies stories actually have somewhere at some stage some nazis involved (for example the Apocalypse Z series). The story itself is very simple and it is exactly as the blurb describes. But hardly any details are given in the how or why the nazi's go about the plan. It is a simple, chased by zombies to a building and run away type affair. The end is abrupt which leads you to believe there has to be another in the series. If there isn't then I would have to say the story is very incomplete. However, if there is another in the series to come I will be thinking carefully about purchasing it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cradle-of-Dragons-Audiobook/B016QTS7QC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of Cradle of Dragons to be better than the print version? Never got a chance to look at the written version. What did you like best about this story? Actors were good, easily identified from each other to prevent confusion. Big fan of Fantasy as well though so that was a plus. Which character as performed by Derek Newman was your favorite? Probably Miki. Hard to beat a French cat/rogue. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Mostly just the concept maybe someday, but will be all old and stuff before anything similar could be possible :'( Any additional comments? Fun listen, great acting. Some pauses that made me check to make sure my headphones didn't get unplugged but, other then that great work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/An-Unproven-Concept-Kraken-Edition-Audiobook/B016UWWB4O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Young Jr Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: "There are lots of ways to make history. Sometimes one's purpose in life is to serve as an example of utter folly...." The Confederation of Man has overseen the prosperous expansion of humanity for almost eight centuries, with the Confederation Fleet its shield against all enemies both internal and external. Despite its numerous successes, the Fleet is a shield that is becoming warped by the schism between its Carrier and Line factions. In the year 3050, Fleet Admiral Malinverni has overseen the design and commissioning of a vessel intended to merge the best of both factions: the battlecruiser Constitution. Intended as a harbinger of a better future, the Constitution is considered a flawed concept by all except her crew. If either Fleet faction has its way, neither the Constitution nor her captain, Mackenzie Bolan, will ever get a chance to prove their naysayers incorrect. The starliner Titanic is considered to be the epitome of her type. With a handpicked crew, the Titanic is expected to see to passengers' every need and whim, be it a rare artifact of opulence or stringent, discreet security. Unfortunately Captain Abraham Herrod, her master, is confronted with the growing likelihood that his vessel may soon be rendered obsolete by the ever-pressing march of technology. Pushed by his superiors, Captain Herrod must decide just how far he's willing to go in an attempt to prolong the "Golden Age of Starliners". biacuaduc@gmail.com (James Young) Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:27:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/An-Unproven-Concept-Kraken-Edition-Audiobook/B016UWWB4O thebookvoice.com 15:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Clever Military Space opera at its best Although this is a tried and tested genre, the author manages to come up with something original and fun to listen to. It would seem Mr young has some significant experience in the military and this clearly bleeds over in to the way he deals with his characters and makes them believable. Another aspect of this sort of book is making the universe that it is set in consistent - this is done really well yet doesn't dwell overmuch on how the technology actually works which I always find distracting. Anyone buying this book should also note how long it is and so what good value it represents. Mind you calling a Space Liner 'Titanic' was asking for trouble from the start! Decent Space Sci-fi This was a good listen and will probably be enjoyed by most space science fiction fans. There was a lot of action including space battles, boardings, and alien encounters. All-in-all I would say that it was good but had a few drawbacks that, while noticeable, didn't take too much from the overall book. There are several parallel stories which include an advanced new warship in final testing and a new luxury liner carrying hundreds of VIPs. The luxury ship is attacked by aliens and the story progresses from there. While the story was still engaging, the fact that I started with this book and not book 1 in the series was to my disadvantage. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Legend-of-the-Future-Audiobook/B0170OO798 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Legend of the Future Author: Agustin de Rojas, Nick Caistor - translator Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: The first book translated into English by the patron saint of Cuban science fiction: a canonical, riveting parable in the vein of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey about the intense pressures of life inside Communist Cuba. This mesmerizing novel, reminiscent of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, is a science fiction survival story that captures the intense pressures - economic, ideological, psychological - inside Communist Cuba. A Legend of the Future by Agustín de Rojas, the father of Cuban science fiction, takes place inside a spaceship on a mission to Titan, one of Saturn's moons, while back on Earth, warring super powers threaten the fate of humanity. When the ship malfunctions on the return journey, the crewmembers must face their innermost fears amidst experiments in psychological and emotional conditioning and aliens that may or may not be real. Critic Reviews: "The best science fiction writer in Cuba; the only possible debate is which of his works is the best.... His trilogy of Spiral, A Legend of the Future, and Year 200 is still the best of Cuban science fiction.... With a very refined style and well-established scientific-social background, Agustín's work surprises through its humanistic content. His concerns surrounding the meaning of life and the evolution of human beings put him in a privileged place among national writers." (Cuenta Regresiva) "The best and most popular novelist of this genre that the Island has ever given.... He is considered one of the principal exponents of Cuban science fiction, and he was undoubtedly the one who knew how to best combine solid scientific formation as plots and attractive characters with a confidence well-based in humanity's socialist future." (Yoss) "One of the best science fiction writers in Cuba - and, until [his death], one of the best Cuban story tellers alive.... Today Agustín de Rojas' work, from Spiral through Catharsis and Society, is admired by cult readers, pro-government thinkers, and elitists alike."

(Félix Luis Viera, Cubaencuentro) Members Reviews: The blurbs are right This is not a classic Cuban science fiction novel. It is a classic science fiction novel, period. Certainly the best I've read since The City and The City, perhaps the best I've read since The Yiddish Policemen's Union. But it is hard core sci fi, unlike those books. I eagerly await publication of more of de Rojas's work. I'm astounded that this book was published in 2014 and mine seems to be the first review. Isn't anyone paying attention? Wake up! Read this book! Year 200 is an amazing piece of literature Augustin de Rojas is for a reason named one of the fathers of modern Cuban science fiction. Year 200 is an amazing piece of literature. If you are new to Cuban Science Fiction his books is a must. After reading his books i moved quickly to Yoss books. I really hope Restless books will publish more Cuban Scifi soon, as i really fell in love with it. The editing is terrible. Often The editing is terrible. Often, scene breaks are not separated by a space (though it's not consistent, so it's not like this is a deliberate choice). Peoples' thoughts are put in quotation marks, which is incredibly confusing because guess what! dialogue is also in quotation marks. The translation isn't that good, either. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Kraniec-nadziei-Rubiee-Imperium-1-Audiobook/B016BYZ4YK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Following the Great Bailout, the multinational Lee-Pi corporation is the only institution that can hold the country together, providing basic services, security, and order. Leonard Cheung is Lee-Pi's most reliable field operative: a negotiator, assassin, and clean-up expert who does the behind-the-scenes dirty work to keep the corporation running. When the city of Philadelphia is evacuated after a suspected terrorist attack, the corporation drops Cheung into the insanity to retrieve a priceless possession: a champion racehorse belonging to Mr. Lee himself. Cheung is the perfect man for the job, having grown up on the outskirts of the city. In this surreal homecoming, Cheung must track the majestic animal through the deserted streets of a dead city. But Cheung soon discovers that he is not alone. Freedom fighters, long opposed to Lee-Pi's authority, are hunting the horse for their own reasons. And the collision between the resistance movement and the obedient company man will force Cheung to question everything he believes, who he has become, and what is worth fighting for. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert Repino) Tue, 01 Sep 2015 18:15:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Leap-High-Yahoo-Audiobook/B013KQ6TCI thebookvoice.com 01:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not sure what to think? I gave it 4 stars because it is a good story that makes you think. I have been sorting out my opinions on these conundrums for a couple of days since reading this short story. Where do your loyalties lie in a post apocalyptic world? Corporations that can maintain order? Freedom or security? Love or disdain for your boss? Hunger over beauty and majesty? Personal relationships? SURVIVAL......I think that's what you have to choose in a post apocalyptic world. Interesting read. Disappointing... Despite the premise of the book sounding interesting, the story gets bogged down in dysfunctional relationships and reliving the past. The ending is incredibly predictable and unoriginal. Unappealing Very Short Story This mini-book is predictable, with no particular plot. It was written like a TV episode for a boring, action-oriented show, without any originality. A Singular Look at the Future Dirty bombs have gone off over most cities. The U.S. has been bailed out by a Chinese corporation named Lee Pi. American's. Call it Leap High. The Chinese call the Americans Yahoo's after the people in the story Gulliver's Travels. Instead of the obsessive and highly qualified corporate executives that commonly subdue the world after the apocalypse in most novels, instead we have Wun, a short, over weight, control freak who is mediocre at his job. Cheung, his aide, is tasked by Wun with finding Lee's race horse. The horse is coursing through miles of irradiated land, looking for food and freedom. Cheung must decide what is most important, his marriage, pandering to his boss, or his ties as an American. Interesting story. Very human. 3.5 stars. Satisfying world building Very enjoyable realistic post apocalyptic first two . I'm new to this author-looking forward to more.

Members Reviews: NEEDED A MALE NARRATOR! If you could sum up Auxiliary Hero Corps 1 in three words, what would they be? Interesting, potential, short Who was your favorite character and why? I will say Val....but I haven't really bonded with any of these characters yet... What three words best describe Eliza Wetherss performance? She was ok...but this is not a book for a female narrator... Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did, its short... Any additional comments? ** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ** I like a superhero story...and this one is decent...but they have the wrong narrator! Why would you pick a female narrator, for a main character that is male! I do think this little series has potential...and I am interested in book 2!! Urban Fantasy with Potential Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? It was a short light listen and didn't waste any real time. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I would of made the story longer with more substance and a more well developed plot. What three words best describe Eliza Wetherss performance? A satisfactory performance If this book were a movie would you go see it? It would be better as a first episode of a tv series than a movie. Any additional comments? This novella had potential but was too short and underdeveloped. What there was of it was well written and could be a decent teaser for a more developed series. It seems that even vigilante heroes have bureaucratic rules that they are expected to abide by. This is very discouraging to Val as these rules cause a villain to win. So will Val become a rouge hero or will she evolve from auxiliary status to the full fledged hero? Hopefully the next book of the series will evolve as well as this series does have potential even though the first book is only mediocre. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot come I wanted to like this title, but couldn't get into Would you try another book from Charles Eugene Anderson and/or Eliza Wethers? Sure. This particular title wasn't for me, I had a hard time getting into it despite its short length. But I would give this this author another shot. If youve listened to books by Charles Eugene Anderson before, how does this one compare? NA Which character as performed by Eliza Wethers was your favorite? I really didn't have a favorite Any additional comments? I really wanted to like this title, but I couldn't get into it. I thought that certain parts were a bit cheesy for me and throw me off a bit. Narration was good, and the story has potential.I was given a copy of this total for an unbiased review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Chronicles-of-Kilix-Audiobook/B011S1XGYQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: DUDE Heyyy Mann, in the future pot must be legal everywhere, cause in this book they all sound stoned. Well, the dad, he sounds Drunk. Listen to the sample, Dude. This story is very YA and I think junior high kids will like it the most. I gave it four stars and thought it was Okay, but I won't continue the series, too many really good books out there. MANKIND AGAINST THE MACHINES What made the experience of listening to Chronicles of Kilix the most enjoyable? I enjoyed listening to Kilix because it brought back thoughts of when I was in High School. And I found the use of computers in the future to be interesting. Particularly the twist when we find out that the word was taken over by them. What about Joshua Benningtons performance did you like? Joshua Bennington did an excellent job of doing the different voices. I liked the voice of Loren. Half the book is in her voice and half is in Kilix's voice but there are many other characters in the book and they all have different voices. Big job!! Talented reader! Any additional comments? I gave this book a 5 star rating because one I loved it and two the author and narrator kept the action moving.it was nice to listen to. COMING OF AGE IN THE FUTURE Where does Chronicles of Kilix rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? "Chronicles of Kilix" rates among the top audio books I have heard. The story is entertaining and the narrator brings the characters to life. Hard to turn off! Who was your favorite character and why? Kilix was the main character and the story line follows him more than Loren. But both characters were my favorites. The story is about a young man moving into a new school and making new friends. Loren takes a liking to him right away but she is not sure about her feelings or even why she has them for Kilix.. And the whole thing takes place in the future where the computers are the dominate activity.. What about Joshua Benningtons performance did you like? Joshua' Bennington's performance was out standing. I enjoyed hearing his narration because it gave the characters life and I was able to almost picture them in my minds eye, every time they spoke. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Shadow-of-Maynin-Audiobook/B0118FE55G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's well written and a fun clean adventure for my kids. I'm always on the lookout for good books to read to my boys and this fit the bill! Great story. I really enjoyed this book. It will be a regular read for my kids. I would highly recommend this book! Hooked on the first sentence. Just listened to the audio of the first chapter and, first of all, I really liked the reader. He does a terrific job. I am so hooked on the story and cannot wait to find out what happens. Now to decide what version to buy? I definitely want to let my children and grandchildren read this adventure as well as recommend it to all my students at school. This series will be a hit! Kathy Perfect For the Whole Family I loved this book!! Imagine a cross between Fablehaven, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson. But don't be fooled by the comparison. This book's concept was so exciting and original that the pages were flying! I'm definitely going to be handing this down to my 13 and 11 year-olds to read next. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Hallowed-Be-Thy-Name-Audiobook/B00TY4LARK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Before his stroke and the onset of old age, Frank Lazorg was the king of the fantasy illustrators - with an ego to match. But he can paint no more. That is, until he starts taking a bizarre new drug that promises to restore his creative powers. Unfortunately, artistic reinvigoration comes with a steep price tag: addiction and madness. With his rage and jealousy unleashed and his grasp of reality severely compromised, Lazorg is led to commit an unspeakable act, and, in turn, is led... somewhere else. Suddenly naked and helpless, the artist finds himself in a world of abiding strangeness, filled with monstrous things that seem to mock, yet oddly mirror, Lazorg's previous reality. And here is Crutchsump, a remarkable creature possessing great love and rare compassion, who could possibly aid in Lazorg's ultimate salvation as he spirals downward through the Cosmocopia and ever-closer to the Conceptus. Arguably the most inventive force in science fiction since Philip K. Dick in his heyday, Paul Di Filippo outdoes even Paul Di Filippo with his remarkable Cosmocopia. Outrageous, ingenious, nightmarish, funny, provocative, and utterly unforgettable, this is a glittering testament to the towering heights science fiction can achieve. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Paul Di Filippo) Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:27:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cosmocopia-Audiobook/B00RW0FQSC thebookvoice.com 04:12:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

That is, until he starts taking a bizarre new drug that promises to restore his creative powers. Unfortunately, artistic reinvigoration comes with a steep price tag: addiction and madness. With his rage and jealousy unleashed and his grasp of reality severely compromised, Lazorg is led to commit an unspeakable act, and, in turn, is led... somewhere else. Suddenly naked and helpless, the artist finds himself in a world of abiding strangeness, filled with monstrous things that seem to mock, yet oddly mirror, Lazorg's previous reality. And here is Crutchsump, a remarkable creature possessing great love and rare compassion, who could possibly aid in Lazorg's ultimate salvation as he spirals downward through the Cosmocopia and ever-closer to the Conceptus. Arguably the most inventive force in science fiction since Philip K. Dick in his heyday, Paul Di Filippo outdoes even Paul Di Filippo with his remarkable Cosmocopia. Outrageous, ingenious, nightmarish, funny, provocative, and utterly unforgettable, this is a glittering testament to the towering heights science fiction can achieve.

Members Reviews: Can't Wait for the Return of the Return of the Matka-Zem! Sci-fi/fantasy Yay! Okay, no space-travel or space-wars. Oh yeah, that's what makes this more real than male sci-fi. But this author didn't waste time showing her research about science. You see, in the sci-fi realm, without the science, life on other planets, or those same lives on our Earth has to take on the label: fantasy. But that becomes the problem doesn't it. If we added in all that extra research and boring science facts that the main male sci-fi authors put in, we lose story. And this was full of story! Oh, a bit about the title. Return of anything sounds like it should be a sequel of something. But you'll get it as you start to read the story. I was able to get the Audible version to read along with my Kindle edition. Steven Barnett (Narrator) was great! I usually can't stand listening to stories whose main characters are female read by a man. Not that they can't tell a great tale but as they project female voices they sound comical. That usually takes me right out of the story. But Steven Barnett grew on me. I soon could see how many voices he was able to act out and keep separate. And after my initial giggle of his Matka-Zem, Valencia, I found he was able to portray this young woman in all her flaws and strengths. Great job! I love the characters in this story. There are the Matka-Zem and her romantic bodyguardâ and then, once they hit San Francisco, we get the human, Donna. I love her! She helps the humans who are reading the story to ask the questions and get the answers the aliens wouldn't have thought of. She is delightful. And she has my biggest flaw: constant talking. I love her the most! We are so glad she is along when the get to the Matka-Zem's planet. She steps up and show her strength when needed. If you get the chance, this is a fun book to read. I can't wait for the next in the series as I want more of these characters and strange new worlds! Beautifully Written Valerie has returned to her planet and has foes knocking on the door. She rises to the occasion only to be knocked down and trampled on. Just when she and Thane are on the verge of togetherness, she is captured by the enemy. A sacrifice from her friend and guardian allows her a moment of peace. This journey is fascinating and exciting. I look forward to reading more about Donna, Thane and Val. Hopefully, all will end well. Great Job!! Excellent read, it's long but I has a hard time putting it down. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Star-Road-Audiobook/B00Q3J3FRW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Star Road Author: Matthew Costello, Rick Hautala Narrator: Pete Bradbury Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: A rebel and an outlaw lead an unsuspecting group of adventurers on a secret mission across the vastness of space, in Matthew Costello's Star Road. Ivan Delgato, a former leader of a rebel group called the Runners, is released from jail on the condition that he carry out a secret mission for the World Council. His assignment is simple: stay under cover, but do absolutely anything necessary to reach the planet Omega IX and offer the renegade Runners clemency if they surrender - which may be complicated since Ivan's brutally violent brother has taken lead of the Runners in Ivan's absence. In search of the Runners, Ivan catches a ride out to the wildest reaches of the galaxy via a mysterious transportation system, the Star Road. His fellow passengers on Star Road Vehicle-66 are a suspicious group, all with their own hidden reasons for traversing the star road. As the travelers contend with increasingly deadly encounters, it isn't long before suspicions build against Ivan. And as the Runners must choose one brother over the other, on a planet filled with ancient secrets, those who survive will confront a mystery that changes the Star Road, and humanity, forever. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Matthew Costello) Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:19:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Star-Road-Audiobook/B00Q3J3FRW thebookvoice.com 10:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: On a scale of one to ten, this puppie's at best, a strong two. This is a difficult review to write due to the myriad flaws in the book. I just plain don't know where to start. So, in no particular order, here goes: 1) The book starts out with a bang. Lots of shooting & etc. Then we *never* hear directly about this group of folks again. 2) The next step has a guy going to jail (a prison planet). He'll be encountered later. 3) Finally, we are loading onto a small merchant carrier & on our way. 4) The run down the "star road" now devolves into a continuous string of shoot-em-ups. 5) At the end of the line, we encounter the climax (and a lot more shooting). 6) Our happy survivors disperse at the end of the book (to continue their adventures in subsequent books). So, what's wrong? 1) Incredibly crummy character development. The Tin Man & Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz had more personality than all of the characters in this book combined. Wooden, straw-stuffed, tinny, one-dimensional characters abound in this book. 2) A shoot-em-up storyline with little else to give it any depth. I thought I was stuck in the novelization of an extremely bad video game. 3) A totally fantastical (and unbelievable) set of circumstances that the "heroes" have to shoot their way through. Yup, more shooting. And, even more shooting. (Funny, just like in most games, no one ever runs out, or stops to reload.) By the third chapter, I was lagging. By the sixth, I was forcing myself to complete the book. By the end, I was glad that the torture of reading this shoot-em-up game between two pieces of cardboard was finally over. All-in-all a bland narrative with little to go for it in a poorly written book. Don't bother with this one. Or, if you really want to try it out, get a copy from your library. It'll save you a bundle in the long run. PS. Look at the author's other books on AMAZON. Yup, there are a few shoot-em-up game novelizations in the lot! Who knew? Disclaimer: I picked this book up from the Browsing Section at my local library. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Crashed-Audiobook/B00OSI4OUC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I expected I wasn't expecting a story like this, I was expecting some facts & not a storyline. This was more entertainment then getting the truth through. This was not for me, but maybe someone else. Great read This one went fast. Cooper's take on a financial collapse and the societal impacts is in ways similar to many in the genre but he puts forth some unique perspectives on the local social impacts, military dogma and the inevitability of escalation. The protagonist is reluctant, the state resistant to relinquish any power and the military predictable. Cooper lays out a chain of events that is not at all implausible. Some books like this become how to manuals for preparedness; this is one that encourages one to not lose sight of the bigger picture. Heavily laced with Libertarian and classical liberal thinking I will be recommending this to a few friends that cannot imagine life without the false solace of the state. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Destination-Earth-Rise-of-The-Da-Vinci-Audiobook/B00OAOHNOS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Who was your favorite character and why? CJ was a great character. His gritty attitude combined combined with that genius level intellect was well written. Have you listened to any of Barry Abramss other performances before? How does this one compare? This is actually a first for me with this reader. He really helped bring characters to life and added to many scenes. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There was a moment in the book that will move everyone, but I don't want to be a spoiler! Any additional comments? I believe this was this authors first book. If so, I'm really impressed and looking forward to more from him.... Why have I never heard from this author before What made the experience of listening to Destination Earth: Rise of The Da Vinci the most enjoyable? The plot lots of action What did you like best about this story? The way the main character grew up seemingly before our eyes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Waiting-for-Godalming-Audiobook/B00OAJFMXM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great concept, but... ...this story seemed underdeveloped. I understand that short stories can be challenging and are often used to lay the groundwork for a larger novel later. In this case, there was so many underdeveloped aspects that I believe it would best be made into a larger work. The basic premise of children growing up in isolation but parented by a virtual reality machine has so much potential. Even the unethical scientists have their own story to be told. So, do I recommend this? Yes, if you want to explore a neat concept. No, if you're looking for something with more depth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Omega-Virus-Audiobook/B00NGQFK82 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

First, there's no mention of zombies in the book description, but by chapter 2, there they were. I hate zombies. Zombies will never be, and they're boring. Second, this reader is the absolute worst. His female voices were laughably bad, and his male voices were forced into a deeper register and monotone. The narration was done in a distracting sing-song with the emphasis on the wrong words. I couldn't even make it through chapter 4, I'm sorry to say. The characters were not described, except for the tan man who kept the group focused on what needed to be done. Tan. Really fleshed that one out. By chapter 4, I should at least have known who they were and what they looked like, a little something about their personality. The virus was not described except that the death was agonizing. The virus was dispensed, it killed off most of the world's population within the first chapter, and it was a short chapter. By chapter 4, they were running out of food and water and surviving on roots. I couldn't take any more. Even if you love zombie stories, you may want to think twice before purchasing this one. I Want To Hear More If you could sum up Omega Virus in three words, what would they be? Intriguing, modern, epic What did you like best about this story? It feels like something that could happen so easily Which character as performed by Nicholas Minadeo was your favourite? My favorite would have to be Fanny, she just seemed so sweet and innocent Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When the boy sacrificed himself to save everybody else in the wearhouse Any additional comments? Really good story, really well read, im not sure i agree with the ending but i still loved it https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dead-Trees-Audiobook/B00NY8RLL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Humanity was unprepared. The undergrounders came with nails and claws and speed to kill people in the night, dragging bodies downward into dark tunnels teeming with rabid life. Civilization is now a ghost of yesterday and the remaining humans fight for survival. One thing's for sure - a scientist mommy battling beasties better be handy with a scalpel. Elise Swanson is a widow and mother. She fights and prays that she can keep her little, broken family safe. She drives and drives, day after day, trying to escape a threat that seems...inescapable. Her hope fades, food is scarce and she watches her eldest daughter's attempts to soothe the younger babe. Then she meets Jason - a father mourning the loss of his son, masking his pain with bravado and charm. He's strong, despite his sadness, and love re-grows within him. Weeks pass and Jason's singular desire becomes the continued safety of Elise and her daughters. Bloody fights with beasties define the survival-road the companions travel. Even a few moments of safety and relaxation elude the group; time and time again, Elise must kiss her children goodbye, just in case tomorrow never arrives. Against all odds, they reach a government safe zone. Even there, Elise finds that there's no rest for the weary. Doctors O'Toole and Peters have been studying the beasties under lock and key, trying to find an answer, but the doctors aren't interested in saving humanity. Forced to lead two lives, Elise assists the good doctors in their pursuits while working secretly in sublevel lab 8 with her own team, Nick and Jamie. Their combined knowledge may be the key - the only hope humanity has of reclaiming the planet from the beasties. As long as they can keep their research secret, safe from O'Toole and Peters, they might discover the way home, the formula to click Dorothy's sparkling red shoes three times and begin to recreate Earth as it was...before the humanoids came out to play on the surface. What will happen when Elise, a neural engineer; Jamie, a medical researcher; and Nick, a computer wizard, are humanity's best hope? The answer might be surprising.

Members Reviews: An evolution apocalypse What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead Trees? This book drew me in from the beginning. Elise is a mother of two young girls just trying to survive. You can't stay in one place long, and you definitely never stop at night. As the mother of a five year old I could really identify with her. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened in two days, but found I was sitting in my car waiting to get to a good stopping point before I would go in. I just had to find out what was going to happen next. Any additional comments? This is an excellent apocalypse story, very different from the zombies that I love- but almost scarier. The beasties could think and learn and adapt. That makes your enemy even more dangerous. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/In-Search-Of-and-Others-Audiobook/B00K30UPFC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderfully Off-Beat Stories Beautifully Performed What did you like best about this story? This is a fascinating collection of stories that put me in mind of Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick, and other masters of the fantasy/horror genre. Adding to the pleasure of the stories is the superb reading of Mr. Hoffman, one of the best I've listened to. I will definitely seek out other books by this author and readings by this narrator. Awesome power of the imagination Would you listen to In Search Of and Others again? Why? Yes. Because its good. What did you like best about this story? The twists and turns. A wild ride. What does Philip Hoffman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Phillip Hoffman has an amazing range. He has a knack for portraying the characters in a very believable fashion. Loved his voice. It was a scary book and his voice is soothing. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The Speed of Dreams blew me away. Any additional comments? Looking forward to another book by Will Ludwigsen narrated by Philip Hoffman! Shades of the very best Twilight Zones! Brilliant! What did you love best about In Search Of and Others? Guided by the warm soothing tones of Philip Hoffman, this imaginative collection of short tales takes the listener on a wonderful series of strange though surprisingly relatable journeys. Filled with delightfully imaginative writing and surprising twists, this is one of the most enjoyable audiobooks I've experienced in ages. Thank you!

Members Reviews: Can't wait for the novel! What a great introduction to the Avar-Tek series! I really liked the fact that the alien probe was engaged in its own moral and sentient growth as it decided how to proceed with the newly-discovered planet. And I truly felt for John and Dipesh's loss at the end (but loved the hopefulness of the captured beetle.) I would have liked a little more "alienness" to the probe (it felt fairly Earth-like to me.) And I would have also liked to get to know more about Dipesh - he is only revealed as a scientist who believes in God. But this is a short story, so I understand there wasn't time to get into more personal thoughts. The final resolution with the probe was really unique, and I could see it being an integral part of a larger story. I hope we see Hachiman again. I also hope the full-length novel delves more into character as well as the moral issues and the science touched upon in A Taste of Earth. Overall, very well done. I will look for more books by Justin Tyme. Hard to read while rolling eyes Interesting premise. Awful execution. People cracking jokes in the middle of a crisis. Not during a lull, like say a John Scalzi story. No, dab smack in the middle. "Hey it looks like the World is ending, have you hear the one about ..." Cliche military guy. The Humans were so stupid that I was rooting for the alien. But the alien turns out to be an idiot. Creates a lexicon of Human languages in microseconds. But, didn't bother to parse those peculiar radio waves in the days approaching the planet. High tech sci-fi delight Fast paced, and action filled, this short story sticks to one of my guiding principles when rating science fiction, that the word "science" comes first. Plausibility, no matter how improbable, is key and the author has respected that. Sure, some of the ideas seem recognizable, the recent version of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" most prominent, but it's hard to attain total originality. So much has been done before. When the alien probe uses human definitions, like "the Milky Way" and a few other details that would have been picked up by a good editing, I was forced to lower my rating by one star. But still, this is an enjoyable read for action high tech science fiction fans. Thoroughly enjoyed this short story! Storyline picks up right where longer books start "getting good," and maintains momentum throughout. You get a good feel for the characters by their interactions, without the author delving too deeply into their backgrounds. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Dark-Days-Audiobook/B00JEEBYWQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: entertaining sci-fi read The thing i like about Angry Robot books is they have a real old school "pulp fiction" type ethos and aesthetic to how they do things. They pump out these cheap paperbacks at a good pace, usually several titles a month now and they remind me of the old fashioned sci-fi publishers that used to be around when i was in school. I can recall a publisher that i think was called Ace science fiction that used to put out books like this and when i was a teenager i lapped them up. Winter Song is a good book, there is nothing really spectacular or new in it, if you're a sci-fi fan you've come across all these ideas before but it is very entertaining and enjoyable anyway. It is a cracking good old fashioned adventure that would be ideal reading for a plane trip or daily bus commute. I enjoyed this book a lot and would happily read anything else Colin Harvey has written and will continue to follow the latest releases from Angry Robot Books. This is better than the sequel This is better than the sequel, which I just abandoned half way through but I wish the choices of mood and pace and characters included, often confusing, drags, and I have no idea WHAT mood the author was reaching for. A promising start fizzles I won't rehash the plot here. It has been adequately covered in many of the previous reviews. This book has a reasonably good beginning. I would have given it three stars if it hadn't deteriorated so badly toward the end. However, the ending was so bad that I dithered over a one star rating. I eventually opted for two stars since I did find the first two thirds of the book entertaining. There are a wealth of SF ideas in the book. They include Artificial Intelligence (with the ability to download themselves into humans w/o consent), Nano technology, terra-forming, human genome engineering, lost colonies, etc. With few exceptions (more on this below), the author does not attempt to give even a pseudo explanation for how any of these might work. Worse, the author does not explore how any of these might affect human attitudes or society. What is left is a flawed adventure story. This book has more than it's share of typos, awkward sentences and bad punctuation. I frequently had to stop and puzzle out the meaning. A typical example: "A construct, the same as you." You made yourself grow bigger, ... The first "you" referred to a second construct while the second "you" referred to one of the protagonists (also a construct). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Preppers-View-Of-Societal-Collapse-Audiobook/B00IA915VQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I would recommend this or any other of Ron`s books. This series is great, I wish someone would make a movie out of the Prepper Trilogy Who was your favorite character and why? Well besides the hero David I like that crazy Cajun Boudreaux his antics and accent tickles me What about Duane Sharps performance did you like? Duane is a fantastic actor and very talented narrator. His enthusiasm in relating the story brings out all the humor and excitement that really makes the fantastic tale sparkle. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Boudreaux and the snapping turtle. I can just picture it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rolands-Post-Apocalyptic-Railroad-Audiobook/B00HWGK0PK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Southern Apocalyptic Humor Who was your favorite character and why? Pappa San HopSing, he is just so darned interesting. I wish he had more lines though.His antics and his families are delightful. What about Duane Sharps performance did you like? He can do every accent from A-Z and dosent miss a beat changing back and forth between characters. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes its a perfect size, I like these shorter books. It is like being able to listen to a whole movie and holds my attention from start to finish. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Silver-Bullet-Audiobook/B00LZZQ5HG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Silver Bullet Subtitle: The Order of the Air, Book 3 Author: Melissa Scott, Jo Graham Narrator: Matt Patterson Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-14 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary Publisher's Summary: A series of mysterious plane crashes in the Rocky Mountains in the midst of a Depression winter call Air Corps reservists Mitch Sorley and Lewis Segura out to fly search and rescue, but it's more than just a simple navigational hazard. Fortunately, Mitch and Lewis are more than just pilots. With Lewis' wife Alma and their old friend Dr. Jerry Ballard, they're members of an esoteric Lodge dedicated to the protection of the world. The Silver Bullet Mine is haunted - or is it? Can ghosts bring down aircraft? And are the small-time crooks who are interested in the Mine simply looking to make a buck - or the vanguard of something more evil and deadly? Aided by their former con artist office manager Stasi Rostov, they've got to get to the bottom of what's happening at the Silver Bullet Mine before more lives are lost. It may be that Jerry holds the key not only to Silver Bullet, but to an even more dangerous secret, one that men have killed to gain for 2000 years. The Lodge is in deep, and there is only one man who can help them, the legendary scientist Nikola Tesla! Critic Reviews: "Although part of a series, it is also a good standalone novel. It contains elements for everyone: a bit of mystery, romance, history, and adventure, plus some paranormal happenings and humour. It has a wonderful, magical sense of time and place and is pure escapism; however, the authors still capture the feel of life in the 1930s. The novel has all the things a great adventure should be: it is a quick and easy read with nail-biting tension and great descriptions and dialogue." (Historical Novel Society) "Scott (Point of Knives) and Graham (Black Ships) avoid the pitfalls of conventional occult adventure thanks to their clean, well-crafted prose and their embrace of unconventional characters in unorthodox relationships. What could have been a mundane collect-the-plot-tokens supernatural thriller becomes a pleasantly intriguing story in their talented hands." (Publishers Weekly) "Melissa Scott has returned. And she's done so in less a whirlwind of activity than a tornado... the entire novel unfolds in this effective, fluidly organic, and ceaselessly engaging way. It's a subtle skill, an impressive book-length balancing act. It's beautifully captured in Bob Eggleton's cover art, in which the novel's airship balances dreamily with symbols of the moon-goddess in the dreamlike sky of another age. And it makes Lost Things a decidedly difficult novel to put down. I hope you'll pick it up. I know I'll pick up the forthcoming sequel, Steel Blues."

Members Reviews: Funny Sci Fi Never Gets Old If you could sum up Space Danger! Part One: The Deadly Planet Of Death in three words, what would they be? Unrequited AI Lust What other book might you compare Space Danger! Part One: The Deadly Planet Of Death to and why? This book is somewhat similar to Red Dwarf in terms of British accents, humorous dialogue, emphasis on widespread booze consumption in key parts of the story, feline characters and milk toast junior officers who, over the course of the story, go from zero to hero. What about Barnaby Edwardss performance did you like? Magisterial. Barnaby Edwards is a narrator of the first water. Each character's voice was unique. He even threw in a quality rendition of what cat people and aliens probably sound like, if they could talk. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Join us and see how the Munstro's Artificial Intelligence quenches her obsessive thirst to be Captain Dangler's submissive e-slave as she begs him to download his humungous hard drive deep into all of her ports over and over and over. Any additional comments? This audiobook won't exactly unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, nor will it get you any closer to that MENSA membership, but you will laugh at least 27 times and maybe forget about that nagging "life crisis" du jour that has you by the stones. Drop a couple dimes, get the audiobook and just relax for a couple of hours. You deserve it. Dangerously good Would you consider the audio edition of Space Danger! Part One: The Deadly Planet Of Death to be better than the print version? Yes, the audio edition is definitely better. I think I wouldn't have really fallen into the story itself if I just read the print version. It doesn't mean that the story isn't interesting - it's rather fun and exciting actually - but the best part of Space Danger is the narrator's performance and the sound design. Not funny: avoid What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I love Brit-Wit, so I was expecting something amusing and thought-provoking.. What could Doug Strider have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Made it funny or thought-provoking, like Douglas Adams, rather than dull and negative. Would you be willing to try another one of Barnaby Edwardss performances? No. His voice was almost as if a tape of his performance was being played at too low/slow a speed. Any additional comments? If you're looking for amusing British SciFi, try Douglas Adams or My First Planet or The Spaceship https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Manipulate-Audiobook/B00H2VT0F6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Smart and charismatic, he has become one of their favorite cadets, but although he's come to trust a few of the aliens, he isn't blind to their harsh treatment of Earth. Now he's on his way back to Earth to work in their Los Angeles headquarters, and to find the line between being used... and using them. When Sam's homecoming speech sets off a string of violence, he realizes his words carry more weight than he realized.

Members Reviews: Secret double probation for Earth Garrett's premise for Manipulate: Alien Cadets is straightforward - Earth is being judged for entrance to the galactic organization of sentient species. If they make it, they will be treated as equals; if they don't, then Earth is fair game for any other sentient race to use as they see fit. Earth is on probation and their "sponsor," an alien race has forcibly removed Earth children for "cadet" training. The story begins with the cadets coming home and preparing for the hearing that will determine their fate. At this point, mysterious happenings occur to the cadets that threatens Earth's future. Overall, the story is engaging with good pacing throughout. The sci-fi elements are standard fare with alien capable space travel and the use of neural tissue for space navigation. The characters are respectable; however, the aliens are not very imaginative. Weak elements include rather unsophisticated aliens who can't recognize subterfuge as well as lack of motivation on the part of specific characters for their actions. All the secrecy that was maintained was essentially pointless. The narration is well done with a great range that includes multiple alien races. It's O.K. for Y.A. You see that, I rhymed my headline - impressed? Anyway, after reading the summary I really thought I would enjoy this book but honestly it didn't do all that much for me. At first glance this book reminded me a lot of "Forging Zero"( which I really liked) so I thought what the hell, sounds good, I'll give it a shot - I chose poorly. Don't get me wrong, it's a very well written "Alien Invasion" story and the characters are well developed but after finishing the book I thought it was just a little too "Y.A.-ish" for my taste. If I had to describe this book to someone I would say that "Manipulate" is "Forging Zero's" virgin little brother with the latter being more violent and gritty. I still gave "Manipulate" a 4 star rating because I cannot give a bad rating to a book for something that's my fault - I knew it was geared for a younger audience going in and I purchased it anyway. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/A-Pox-Upon-Us-Audiobook/B00FPO6F00 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vernon doesn't think it's your ordinary run-of-the-mill aircraft. For one thing, it's been buried under the Arctic ice for hundreds of years. When it actually starts talking to him, he realizes it doesn't belong in Kansas-or anywhere on Earth. The problem is, a lot of folks know about the ship and are out to get it, including the Nazis, the U.S. Army-and that's just for starters. Vernon has to figure out how to communicate with the ship and unravel its secrets before everyone catches up with him. If he ends up dead, and the ship falls into the wrong hands, it won't take a rocket scientist to predict the fate of humanity. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jay Lake) Tue, 16 Jul 2013 03:47:42 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Rocket-Science-Audiobook/B00DQD9K22 thebookvoice.com 07:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If the narrator would have taken his time. Instead I felt as though he was just breezing through the stories, giving slight pause when necessary, Then continuing on till the end. A couple times it was difficult to determine which character was talking since he gave no additional pause or inflection in tone when the characters were interacting with one another. It is a shame too since the stories seemed they could have been so much more entertaining with the proper speaker....or simply just a different speaker. I feel I was not even able to fully absorb what I was hearing and that the story was just barreling toward the end. I have listened to some books where I did not care for book simply because I did not feel the narrator's voice/own character did not mesh very well with the story I was listening to. This was not the case with this book. It was simply just the performance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Learn-English-with-Short-Stories-Science-Fiction-Section-10-Audiobook/B00DGBU8Z2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The first story led to some deep discussions about the universe with my ESL students. I am intrigued by the concept the story puts forth.

Members Reviews: Dead Tide Rising doesn't let up. When I write a review I prefer to keep my spoilers to a minimum. That being said Dead Tide Rising kicks into overdrive picking up where Dead Tide left off. The author throws you back in with the original characters from Dead Tide as they have to fight off zombies at every turn. Our survivors have to fend off attacks from the undead as they confront a growing sadistic menace other humans. There is no let up in the action as you seamlessly flow between story lines. I was paranoid with each turn of the page as the author fills you with a sense of fear and dread. He delivers unmerciful blow after blow to the survivors. With Dead Tide Rising we are introduced to the zombie outbreak on a whole different scale. All of these authors story lines tie beautifully in to the overall zombie filled experience that is Dead Tide Rising get it, got it, great! Outstanding Follow-Up in a Great Series Great second installment in a wonderful series. This was a great follow up to Dead Tide. Like most great stories of the genre, this book centers on the human characters versus the undead they face. Great writing and admirable second book in the series (a sometimes daunting place to be, like the middle child in a large family). Getting ready to purchase Book 3! Go, go, go! Book 2 keeps the ball rolling. We learn more about what is happening in other places. We see the world and the remaining people differently. I am really enjoying this series! Dead Tide Rising and rising and rising! Another great read indeed! My only complaint is that I was left hanging yet again wondering if our heroes are going to make it some place safe. Keep writing and hurry with the next book! another great read! I loved the 1st book "Dead Tide" and I loved this one!!!! Again all I can say is ,it's a GREAT entertaining read.I'm looking forward to the next one.

Members Reviews: Four Stars I have enjoyed all of Ms. Nye's writing. 3rd installment in Taylor's ark. This is an engaging series with likable human, animal and alien characters. This installment sees them on a seemingly idyllic world, Doc is smart and savvy, and a great mom, and the kids are real and fun to read about. I could only wish there were more of these! A sequel that's just filling time It's quite clear that Jody Nye has some talent as a writer, but this book, the third in a series of separate novels, appears merely to be cashing in on the previous works. This novel is basically set up as a mystery thriller--what is it about the planet Jardinoor that the very rich inhabitants are hiding from their substitute doctor? I'll avoid spoiling the plot, except to say that it has something to do with the animals and alien that travel with the heroine, Shona Taylor, and the planet's inhabitants fixation on animals. The writer is deft at handling the larger construction of the book, but this book is disappointing on a variety of levels. For starters, despite the milieu and onstensible setup, it is not an SF novel or even a sci-fi novel, not really. Search-and-replacing "starship" and "planet" with "tramp steamer" and "island" would make this a contemporary novel. Indeed, very minor wordsmithing would make this a Western ("horse", "remote Western town") or a tepid spy thriller ("submarine", "Soviet Union"). The core of this novel contains a variety of interesting modern concerns (animal welfare, cloning, stem cell research, bio-ethics, climate/plantary change, even gay marriage). Despite spending time building up such weighty topics freighted with possibility, the author avoids or plays down the sticky issues (turning the real crime of the black-hearted villain into theft, rather than confronting the ethical problems at hand). The characters are entirely stereotypical, with no moral contradictions (good people are invariably good---often by who they associate with---while the bad people are mostly misguided). Many of the characters actions and events are driven by the necessities of the plot rather than the plot emerging from the personalities and foibles of the characters. The author actually seems unwilling to allow even her bad characters to violate what appear to be her own ethical standards. I gave this book three stars because it is readable and literate in its faults and I genuinely like some of the central characters. There are some nice touches, such as the handling of personal space or an entirely automated culture. As pulp fiction it is almost adequate. But I must admit that I'm almost angry that a writer with this level of talent is just churning out something this uninspired. If you've not read "Needle", "Case of Conscience", or "Word for World is Forest", go pick those up. Each of those confront some of the themes that this book uses as mere window dressing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Proteus-Unbound-Audiobook/B00B9FCZ6C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Rather sophmoric look at the future Hear ye, Hear ye! It is the future and Earth is over populated, the economy and the ecology are near ruin (sound familiar?). So, as an answer the (in)famous form-changing, mind-altering machines are invented that allow anyone with enough money to become whoever or whatever they want. (How this goes about solving the previously listed problems is not explained but then this IS fiction). Naturally there is a bad guy (who may or may not be bad) and there is a tracker, Beh Wolf (ain't that knee slapper) who must find and make that determination as to which category he falls. There is a lot of business, several conversations, but one can never forget that this is just a book - and an unconvincing one at that. Wolf runs into the same problems and even uses the same dialogue as 19th century detectives (only jazzed up with techojargon). Unfortunately it appears that this story duo will become a trio. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Mind-Pool-Audiobook/B00B2R2QZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I remember, manymany years ago, sitting around at an SF convention talking to Mike Resnick, and he mentioned the "Tales of the Galactic Midway" series, which was just about to begin coming out. Now, Mike Resnick is a dog breeder (or was; he may be retired by now - us geezers are doing that a lot, lately) - collies, as i recall. And he mentioned that one of the "Tales" was inspired in large part by two dogs he'd had that apparently hated each other. SO, he'd used the method that the circus owner uses in this book to deal with the problem. Like all of his books, this is a good, fun read with at least a bit of serious themes running below the surface. You could do worse - a lot worse - than to pick up this book - or any Resnick book; though you really should try to read the series in order, if you can. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Moon-Goddess-and-the-Son-Audiobook/B00AQ2PRFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A rare treat. Donald Kingsbury is a science fiction readers science fiction writer, using his fiction to explore ideas in depth while grounding his books firmly in existing reality with engaging characters. He's kind of like the proto-Neal-Stephenson-(prior to the Baroque Cycle). While he's only written a few books, they have consistently been nominated for the big name awards in the genre. This book in particular will be a real treat for fans of well written, insightful science fiction, with relatable characters; all the while maintaining a sense of wonder and optimism about the ability of western civilization to adapt and succeed as a society and our future as a species in space. Glad to have this pristine, hardcover copy Kingsbury needs no review. All three of his big novels were nominated for the most prestigious awards. Writing simple and clear. Character brilliantly dissected and pivotal to plot. Ideas original and fascinating with the most ambitious ideal of human dynamism anywhere. A mathematics professor at McGill,he appreciates logical coherence down to the most refined distinctions with big consequences. One of the best S. F One of the best S. F. novels of all time. Right up there with The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Cryptonomicon, and works of Buljold. It blends humor, scientific & technical possibilities, insightful human narrative, and the best insight into the historical reasons for the peculiarities of Russian politics I've ever read. It is hugely ambitious and still a can't-put-it-down page turner. One of the most neglected novels of its time. Yet it does all this without boring the reader with dry facts Hidden deep inside a Science Fiction story is perhaps the most in depth history of the Russian empire from The kahn until the USSR. Yet it does all this without boring the reader with dry facts. In many ways it teaches how to understand, more than what to understand. One of the few books I've developed the habit of going back to and re-reading every few years. If you love Heinlein Asimov Clark and similar. You will love this as well. more than just science fiction After a slightly disorganized start, Kingsbury hits his stride and offers some thought-provoking ideas in addition to telling a good, if dated, science fiction yarn. Several themes run through the book, and his evaluations of historical and national cultures are suggestive: 1. Americans are a curious blend of energy and high technical competence, individualistic yet capable of spontaneous organization into productive groups. They are also deeply nave, and seem unable to understand that their openness, voluntary contribution and sharing, and even a kind of optimistic friendliness are simply not shared by many cultures (maybe most) in the world. Their culture has spawned a profound material success that is beyond the Marxist's wildest fantasy. 2. The Russians are not often appreciated for the genuine individual heroism, showed by millions of them, who defied the regimes that their country has historically been cursed with, sometimes at the cost of their freedom and lives. 3. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Big-Jump-Audiobook/B00AHHET80 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I expected. I'm sorry I didn't like this sci-fi novel. Leigh Brackett was a hugely talented and prolific story writer, novelist, and screenwriter and I admire her for that. But some people like one thing and some like other things, and this just wasn't the science fiction novel I was expecting, and not the kind that I like. The novel's title and blurb led me to expect something totally different, maybe something like Fred Pohl's Gateway e.g. But it read, to me, like a 1950s hardboiled tough-guy private eye novel (and she wrote some of those), not a space opera or even a space adventure. The whole tone of the novel is dark (noir?), gloomy, even depressing. If you like that sort of thing, then you may very well enjoy The Big Jump. Even the title evokes hardboiled crime novels, and its interesting that Leigh Brackett co-wrote the screenplay for Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep. Bottom line -- if you want a sci-fi novel that reads like Hammett or Chandler, The Big Jump might be for you. It just wasn't what I was looking for. Very macho reading I really tried to like this since it was on a list of one of the Best SF Novels Ever! It was just sooo macho. I understand times change (thank goodness), but I was expecting more from this. CNF. Sorry, Leigh. Three Stars Skilled craftmanship by the author. However, somewhat antiquated plot. 130 pages of old-fashioned Brackett Back in the 1950's, when this was written, Leigh Brackett was "the Queen of the Pulps", a writer for Weird Tales and Planet Stories, as well as a Hollywood scriptwriter with The Big Sleep under her belt. She wrote this for an Ace double, I think, and its truly a novella rather than a whole novel - although it is now reprinted as such. Still, don't let that hold you back: this is fantasticly evocative piece, a character-driven drama in a sci-fi setting, from the cold dusty roads of Mars to an enchanted garden on the Moon, to the first world visited by man outside the solar system - the trip there being the "Big Jump" of the title. Brackett specialised in gritty dirty semi-heroes and characters of many moral hues in settings that make Blade Runner's LA look like paradise. The protagonist here, Arch Comyn, is a hard-living tough, with his only redeeming feature being loyalty to a friend. He's driven, reckless, and doesn't have a lot - if anything - to lose. The book opens with Comyn investigating the loss of his friend on the first Big Jump: 5 men left, and only one came back, dying, mad and babbling about...things. The atmosphere in the opening is redolent of the movie Event Horizon of 15 years back, and is pretty well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Zombie-Battle-4-War-Audiobook/B00A4FRLZ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An enjoyable space adventure At first this book seems to be a fantasy, about a warrior of a privileged and constrained warrior class in a pre-tech culture. We quickly learn, though, that Wanbli, while a member of a warrior class, and one of the few to earn the cherished third eagle feather tattoo, is far in our future. His world is not primitive, but it is poor. His career options are basically limited to being a bodyguard for the same man his mother guarded, and who may or may not be his father. And while he's very, very good at it--witness his third eagle feather tattoo--he does not find the satisfaction and pride in it that he knows he's supposed to. On the first day he's legally able to, he leaves his employer, heads for the city, and books passage offworld. His goal is to reach what is, for that age, the center of what is effectively their motion picture industry. He's going to be an actor. Along the way, first on one ship, then on another, then on the world of the movie industry, working bit parts, he meets people and learns things that shake many of his core assumptions--including one of the core assumptions his planet relies on. Decades ago, his planet contracted for a space station which would make their world much less poor, by tying them in much more efficiently to the interstellar trade routes. They've been making regular payments ever since, awaiting the day when they are paid up and their station will be delivered. What they don't know, and Wanbli learns, is that the company they contracted with went bankrupt, and was sold to another company that, it turns out, is not legally obligated to deliver their station. He's honor bound to tell his people. In the course of trying to do so, he discovers a much bigger outrage, one that is causing deaths--and that might, paradoxically, contain the solution to his own world's problem. That is, assuming he can get everyone involved, many of whom now want to kill him, to see things his way. MacAvoy does a lovely job developing the characters and making us care, as well as making this fictional universe feel real and lived in. For those who remember them, there are hints that this may be the same universe that Alexei Panshin's Anthony Villiers novels are set in. That's just an added bit of pleasure for those who do remember them, though, and not at all necessary to following and enjoying the story. Enjoyable, and recommended. I bought this audiobook. It was so boring!!! This is one of the few SF novels I quit listening before reaching the end... when I reached the middle despite falling asleep for five times and still nothing interesting or significant had happened, I said, "That's it." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Amderesta-The-3rd-Republic-Audiobook/B008XM86EO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The first one was basically a set up for this book and while I did not really like the first this one rocks. I love the revenge factor and the degradation of what turns out to be the four remnant schisms of the Catholic church with all the intersect fighting, condoning of the murder of men, women and children, the use of torture and sex, all copy what was done in the Middle Ages. Not pretty to picture though. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Thrall-Audiobook/B008TT4DPW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After young Jesse Coaglan leaves behind the horrors of his hometown, Thrall, where weird is normal and people disappear inexplicably, he receives a phone call from Mia, the young woman he left behind. She needs his help, but not just for her but for the daughter he didn't realize he had. Now, Jesse returns to the small New Jersey town, accompanied by his best friend, Nadia, but he's frightened and unsure what he will find. Or even if Mia and Caitlyn are even still alive. Fans of Lovecraftian cosmic horror will totally dig this wild ride to its horrific gut-wrenching conclusion! Highly recommended! A Very Creepy Haunted Town Tale Jesse left the town of Thrall and his girlfriend, Mia, years ago. Strange things happen in Thrall and he got out while he could. He comes home one day to a message on his answering machine from Mia, begging him to come back to Thrall and save her and the daughter he never knew he had. Jesse has never quite opened himself up to anyone, but a girl named Nadia. She is the closest he's come to a real relationship and asks her to go to Thrall with him with only a little bit of an explanation. Nadia has the hots for him, but friends is as far as he can go. Once in Thrall Jesse and Nadia realize how wrong the town is. Nothing is as it seems. Buildings move. People have disappeared. The Raw, a red fog of evil things, appears at night and those that go into the mist don't come back out the same or at all. There are a few people who have managed to survive in Thrall and they all come together to find Mia, the child, and to stop whatever it is that takes the lives of the townsfolk and keeps Thrall alive. Yep, I did it. *smirking* I gave out 5 stars. This book had it all folks. The characters were fleshed out, each with their own back story. You cared what happened to them. Every man and woman added to this atmospheric read in their own way. When I say atmospheric, I mean, when they were walking down the streets of Thrall looking at all the abandoned buildings, seeking out anything strange, or listening for noises, I was too. I could genuinely picture the places in this story. The actions and reactions were dead on. The writing was on point and the pacing was perfect. Not a dull moment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Light-of-the-Earth-as-Seen-from-Tartarus-Audiobook/B008SEGX7O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What disappointed you about Skeletons? The performance of the narrator was horrendous unless you are fond of lisps and stammering during a reading. There was no production value as the narrator would repeat sentences and phrases and they would not be edited out. Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Jude Ricciardis performances? Never again just horrible... Is there anything you would change about this book? I decided to buy this because I remember reading it in high school and wanted to see how it held up and if I would enjoy it as much now as I did then. well...I have no idea how it holds up because I couldn't finish listening to it because of just how awful the reading was. I'm having trouble putting into words just how bad it was. I'll give an example..."he said dreamily" makes no difference at all to the narrator, who reads it just like every other line, practically at a yell. I honestly feel like he was trying to get through this as fast as possible so he could get his paycheck. no timing, no pauses at all between sentences. just the exact same tone, no matter what is being said. and don't even get on the narrator deciding Abe Lincoln(from Illinois) needed a southern accent. What didnt you like about Peter Jude Ricciardis performance? better question, what did I like about it? nothing. I hope you have changed careers by now you hack. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Macrolife-Audiobook/B007CMP734 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A utopian novel like no other, presenting a dynamic utopian civilization that transcends the failures of our history. Epic in scope, Macrolife opens in the year 2021. The Bulero family owns one of Earth's richest corporations. As the Buleros gather for a reunion at the family mansion, an industrial accident plunges the corporation into crisis, which eventually brings the world around them to the brink of disaster. Vilified, the Buleros flee to a space colony where young Richard Bulero gradually realizes that the only hope for humanity lies in macrolife - mobile, self-reproducing space habitats. A millennium later, these mobile communities have left our sunspace and multiplied. Conflicts with natural planets arise. John Bulero, a cloned descendant of the 21st century Bulero clan, falls in love with a woman from a natural world and experiences the harshness of her way of life. He rediscovers his roots when his mobile returns to the solar system, and a tense confrontation of three civilisations takes place. One hundred billion years later, macrolife, now as abundant as the stars, faces the impending death of nature. Regaining his individuality, but falling away from a highly evolved macrolife, a strangely changed John Bulero struggles to see beyond a collapse of the universe into a giant black hole. Inspired by the possibilities of space settlements, projections of biology and cosmology, and basic human longings, Macrolife is a visionary speculation on the long-term future of human and natural history. Filled with haunting images and memorable characters, this is a vivid and brilliant work. biacuaduc@gmail.com (George Zebrowski) Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:45:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Macrolife-Audiobook/B007CMP734 thebookvoice.com 13:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excruciatingly ... good What made the experience of listening to Macrolife the most enjoyable? Several days after finishing it, it started to gel. What other book might you compare Macrolife to and why? 1961 Dandridge Cole Space World Magazine articles entitled "Macro-life". They made the points that this puts a story around, kinda like the tomes you have to read to make flesh of e-mc2 What do you think the narrator could have done better? Seems there were two readers, but they were very close to each other... both seemed to be crying. That's a lot of hours of pleading, whining. But in the end the story comes through and it all works. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Macro-life: Longer than Lord of the Rings, no flashy action but far more epic Any additional comments? At first you may think you're channeling Ayn Rand via the stiff characterizations from The Roads Must Roll era Heinlein, and then it takes off like Methuselahs Children or Time For The Stars. And then... and then... If you get part way in and feel it's just too thick and lifeless, hang on just past your wits end. It's worth it. It just needs to ferment in your brain after the reading is done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Trinity-Paradox-Audiobook/B008963KF4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: just couldn't stay with it I had just finished a sci-fi book of theirs and was expecting the same type of writing. I just could not stay with this story. Elizabeth, sent back in time to possibly change the course of history, I got, but the endless details of the making of nuclear weapons in Germany was uninteresting to me. The story was so removed from Elizabeth so much of the time I just got really bored with it. Finally gave it up. I'm sure if some one is riveted by that subject they would like this book. I simply was not. Recommended if you love science & history Loved it! I found myself continually going to history timelines and scientific descriptions of the events described. So I learned a lot and we had great family discussions about the controversies involved. Trinity Paradox book Good sci-fi book to read. Interesting twist to the alternate history. The action or rather drama is slow but your interest keeps going until the end. Terrific Time Travel Story In this exceptionally well written and thought provoking time travel story, Elizabeth Devane, an anti-nuke activist, tries to destroy a weapon in modern day Los Alamos and is somehow transported back in time to the Trinity Project. Elizabeth must struggle with her ethics. Should she help America win the war by working on the Project or should she deliberately sabotage it? The main fear at the time was that the Nazis would build an atomic weapon. Elizabeth makes a relatively innocuous comment, to Fox, a British Agent that the Nazis will not beat America to the bomb because Heisenberg screwed up his calculations and irrevocably changes the timeline. Elizabeth realizes that it might not be the worst thing if America got the bomb after all. I really enjoyed the ending, but no spoilers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Blindfold-Audiobook/B0058JWOQ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I like that the author used both sci-fi /fantasy ideas to form the general premise - an inhospitable world terraformed by pilgrims struggling to survive in the outer reaches of the known universe / feudal system with landholders who scrap by on dwindling resources and slave labor while being kept in line by mind reading testtube babies. Overall, Blindfold reads more like a fantasy novel with feudal infighting, intrique and conspiracies. The sci-fi elements border on the simplistic - there is a trip to space which reads about like following a russian astronaut to the ill-fated Mir Space Station. So, do not read this if you are looking for sci-fi. In fact, the meat of this novel is an exploration of the human condition. In the face of extinction, why do influencial people still resort to petty manipulations and meaningless power plays? Blindfold Kevin Anderson I chose this rating because I love Kevin Anderson's books and I have never read one that didn't captivate me. If you love Sciene Fiction you will love this one Pretty good Blindfold is an intriguing story about a colony world where justice is meted out by telepaths who are under the influence of a drug, Veritas which allows them to see the truth in people's minds. There are no lengthy appeals, no costly lawsuits, just perfect justice- every time. Every time that is- until someone starts tampering with the drugs, and the truthsayer's esp begins to fail them. I listened to the unabridged audio version of this book, and found it well narrated. The story rotates between 5 major characters, a newbie truthsayer girl, Kalliana, a young hapless boy-nextdoor type,Troy, the villain, and the leader of the truthsayer's guild, Tharian oh and a sociopathic murderer. My favorite character was the leader of the truthsayers, Tharian. I felt he was well developed and interesting. The plot was somewhat predictable, there is a wealthy landowner who plots to take over the colony. He does it by cruel and despicable means, despite the fact that he seemed charismatic enough to win the affection of the people, with his charm and charisma alone. His motivation felt weak, as did the major characters who all seemed to be easily suckered by him. I also felt the characters were a bit unlikeable. Kalliana was a bit cold, and far too easily rattled. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Heretics-Audiobook/B003QTOTWC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(SF Signal) Members Reviews: book 2 and its getting really good The narrator takes a while to get used to, he is like William Shatner when he talks - there are pauses at od times and speed ups at strange parts making words sound funny as if there are a set amount of words that must be said per minute and no matter what the sentence structure it is the same amount of words per minute - at times it is fast and then slow as ever, I had problems with this at first but I got used to it and you should as well, I just cant wait to get on to a better narrator - and Audible.com, let the narrator be rated separate from the book rating Well first let me say this this is a review for all 3 books, I listened to all 3 of them back to back and they blend together because they are a single story this starts off good and then there is religion in there, about some saint and stuff like that - I understand why things like this are needed in sci-fi books because lets face it there will always be people who believe that religion is something that they need in there life for whatever reason - this author has put religion everywhere and its almost the whole story since there is someone trying to be like god but thats not my point, what I am saying is that the main characters are all into religion also and this gets old quick The religion is something that I dont really like but I do like the whole trilogy as they are the best part comes at the end of book 3, I wont ruin anything here but there are these 2 sisters or more accurately the same person just from 10 minutes removed in time and they think alike and everything, well they decide to hook up with each other, so that makes the religion tolerable, lol but really the story ends pretty good, my only complaint about that is that like most books when the end comes and the problem is solved or the bad guy is defeated there is little after that before the end - I would like more after the fact to see more of how things are doing but I guess thats not a good story https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Wingman-8-Audiobook/B002V0K1QK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

RS is one of my favorite authors. He has written some really good stuff, such as Downward To Earth, The World Inside, At Winter's End and Sorcerers of Majipoor. He has edited some of the best collections of all time such as Legends and Far Horizons. This book is about a Prince who is separate from his Kingdom by 10,000 miles on a planet colonized by Earth. The planet has a small indigenous population. Sound familiar? The book had some good parts, but there was really no plot. I kinda of think it important for a story to have one. I like the book, I just did not love it and there are two many great books out there to spend time on a travel log of a planet that does not exist. Sci-Fi This novel is really a classic adventure story of a boy becoming a man through experiences that challenge him physically and mentally, that happens to be a classic hard science fiction story set on a planet around another star system. The sci-fi aspects function rather more as plot devices to enable the author to put the protagonist, a fifteen year old child of wealth and privilege in a feudal society at the start of the story. When the society is suddenly beset by a revolt of the peasant "volk," Joseph must find his way 10,000 miles from the estate of his cousin back to his own home. He is helped along the way he is rescued by the other sentient species native to the planet, as well as by sympathetic members of the "volk." Along the way while he comes to question the beliefs and values of the society in which he was raised. I would recommend the book highly for teenagers, with the caveat to parents that there is some fairly graphic sexual content, alhtough presented tastefully and lovingly. The reader has a good voice who adds just enough dramatization to add to the enjoyment. My only quibble, since I take the "science" in science fiction very seriously, is that the author assumes (as do most science fiction writers) that human beings will go to distant worlds populated by plants, animals, and sentient creatures that not only look outwardly very similar to earth species, but that have a biology sufficiently similar that we can live off them. Excellent detail. Very good reading. Robert Silverberg has always painted elaborate starscapes in my head, so I was glad to see he had not lost any of his ability. This was an entertaining audio book, but lacked the suspense of most of Mr. Silverberg's writings. Although "The Longest Way Home" kept my interest until the end, it ultimately let me down. The only way the ending works is if Mr. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Corax-Soulforge-Audiobook/B0765C5W9L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/853/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.
