Alistair Urquhart was a soldier in the Gordon Highlanders captured by the Japanese in Singapore. He not only survived working on the notorious Bridge on the River Kwai , but he was subsequently taken on one of the Japanese ‘hellships’ which was torpedoed. Nearly everyone else on board died and Urquhart spent 5 days alone on a raft in the South China Sea before being rescued by a whaling ship. He was taken to Japan and then forced to work in a mine near Nagasaki.

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of 13 dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

There is no one like Rob Inglis to bring Tolkiens beautiful stories alive - he is great at voices, accents and singing - an unbelievably great feat of narration and voice acting

Best story ever! Greatest narrator!
Revisado: 03-07-23
Yet another Tolkien Masterpiece, even more suspenseful than “The Fellowship of the Ring”. The narrator Rob Inglis is just unbelievably great! Not a single accent and voice that he can’t do - and even when he isn’t doing accents and voices his ability to convey the atmosphere is unmatched, this is particularly powerful as he truly captures the terror and darkness of Frodo and Sam entering Mordor,

- De: Daniel Suarez
- Narrado por: Jeff Gurner
Awesome read. Very educational!
Revisado: 09-03-12
Would you listen to Kill Decision again? Why?
Yes, as the author (an entrepreneur & technologist in his own right) has researched in depth the technologies already in existence or within the realms of the technically feasible in the foreseeable future.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The special forces protagonist for his understanding of war and politics beyond the rhetoric of headquarters and think tanks (while he clearly is smart enough to grasp those complex theories as well. Well crafted character with depth.
Which scene was your favorite?
The discovery of the cargo ship working as the formicary of the robotic weaver ants.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Capitvating & addictive.
Any additional comments?
Even as someone not listening to fictional literature at all, for its educational value I enjoyed it as the first piece of fictional literature I have read in 10 years.
