Historia
A chain of subglacial volcanoes erupt in Iceland. The melting ice floods the countryside. Poisonous gas descends on Scotland. A tsunami devastates the Norwegian coastline. An ash cloud rises into the atmosphere, blotting out the sun across Europe, ushering in a new Ice Age. Dozens of nuclear power plants, flooded by ocean water, experience meltdowns. Millions perish. Many more are displaced. All on the first day.

Historia
Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

C J Critt is Stehanie Plum
Revisado: 01-01-16
What made the experience of listening to Four to Score the most enjoyable?
the narrator .... she is Plum to me. Just the right attitude in her voice, very well done.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
the plot was good enough that you didn't guess the end in the first five minutes.
What does C. J. Critt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
her reading was why I did the first 4 books, after trying the next two narrators I am leaving the series un read (listened to), sadly.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
light, funny, delivered well
I am sad to leave the series behind.
Any additional comments?
sadly I am abandoning the series, the voices in the next books (I tried two different readers) just don't do it for me. Great care should be given when selecting a reader, because it's difficult on listeners to get accustomed and than be asked to change, it doesn't often work well for me at least.

science fiction at its very best
Revisado: 09-15-12
Where does The Swords of Lankhmar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
first, the reading of the book is excellent, the tone and flow of the smooth voice draw you away from reality if even just for a little while. second, the story is classic for this genre, it defines the genre.for the type of science fiction it represents it is a classic, one of the best.
What other book might you compare The Swords of Lankhmar to and why?
perhaps in a slightly different off shoot of older sci-fi "Old Man's War" by Scalzi or any number of Heinlein's early works.They have a certain quality about their story's, a richness and thoughtfulness.
Which character – as performed by Jonathan Davis and Neil Gaiman – was your favorite?
Each of the two main characters, one in his youthful strength and simplicity and the other in his more worldly less trusting "there is always an angle" approach, is rich in his own way, neither is a favorite, both are relived in my mind in my everyday pursuits.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
moved me? no but the development of the characters and the adventures they have together provide a rich memory that continues for me long after all of the books in the series.
Any additional comments?
real sci-fi readers, listeners, should not miss this book, this series.
