Life in SoCal in 2195 is controlled by a corporatocracy. Elsa scavenges twenty-first-century trash, living on the edge of starvation in this ruthless world through her grit and instincts. When she unearths a metal tube containing maps to six Doomsday seed bunkers and a silver key, she dreams of renewable sources of food and a life based on more than subsistence, but GreenCorps will stop at nothing to acquire her find. Accused of theft and beaten half to death, she escapes with a handsome train hopper. They seek the long-lost bunkers, hoping to break GreenCorps' monopoly on food.

I sought this book out as a lover of train-hopping adventures, and got so much more than a good adventure out of it. The dystopian world-building was extremely believeable while being completely original at the same time. Greencorps, the ironically named corporation has a monopoly in the former United States, which is almost unrecognizeable due to extreme pollution and scarcity of resources. The corporation is a deadly foil to the innocent people being oppressed - think hard laborers getting paid in vouchers that only work at the company store. You will root for Elsa and Walker right out of the gate, and admire their toughness and tenacity in surviving a society designed to keep them down. The dystopian tale is balanced by moments of beauty, love and affection, and hope. I loved the ride and am ready for the sequel! The narrators did a wonderful job, and it was a very smooth listen while also being extremely dynamic.

Someone Wild is an opposites-attract, slow-burn, great-adventure rom-com-meets-heartfelt-romance-love story. Join Peter and Darius as they begin the adventure of a lifetime through rugged North Wales, passing crumbling castles and towering mountains, tumbling waterfalls and deep blue lakes.

This was terrific and it flew by. Both protagonists have compelling backstories and it found a good balance between hiking story and romantic thriller. Sweet but never loses its edge. The narrator is fantastic in all the parts and I look forward to many more of his audiobooks

Meet Jason Apsley, a 42-year-old divorcee who's an opinionated, miserable bugger—struggling with life, exacerbated by his negative attitude. A random event shifts time, causing Jason to continue life in 1976, six months before he's due to be born. He even left behind Beth, his one and only friend who supported him through some difficult times. Can life get any worse? Although Jason is the same person, he finds himself teleported into the life of another Jason Apsley from a different generation, one with a very different outlook on life.

Superb dialogue - sharp and wickedly funny while also offering poignancy. The narrator was born for this book.

Love this narrator and checking out his body of work. Story is a great fit for him—he’s not afraid to go places and he’s expressive and versatile enough to capture both of the leads

In Egypt, all things are possible. So discovers Albion Stanley, a recent Cambridge graduate and brilliant linguist, newly arrived in Cairo in 1902. Albion sees the unseen, including ghosts. It is a less than comfortable reality, which he tends to with copious amounts of whiskey and numerous other vices. Also in Cairo is Aleister Crowley, the famed occultist. Aleister is a dangerous man, but not an unsympathetic one and never a dull one. Together, they discover the world of dead Egyptians, some of whom are older than the pyramids.

Perfection
Revisado: 09-28-24
I read the book first; the narrator definitely understood the assignment and inhabits Albion Stanley (or the other way around).
Great pacing, gives weight to every moment. He nails all of the accents, but the pacing is the true gift.
Clearly had fun with it. Particularly when doing Aleister Crowley’s lines. Nick Johnson is definitely a scene chewer. Can’t wait to see what he does with subsequent books in the series.
