Ben Brice lives alone in the New Mexico wilderness where he battles memories of Vietnam with oceans of Jim Beam. Miles away in Texas, his estranged son, John, an internet geek-turned-billionaire, half watches his daughter Gracie’s soccer game while conducting business on his cell phone. When her mother Elizabeth arrives, the coach reports that her uncle has already collected Gracie. But Gracie has no uncle - she was kidnapped.

A posthumous recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, Marion Zimmer Bradley reinvented - and rejuvenated - the King Arthur mythos with her extraordinary Mists of Avalon series. In this epic work, Bradley follows the arc of the timeless tale from the perspective of its previously marginalized female characters: Celtic priestess Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar, and High Priestess Viviane.

A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets and astronauts into space. Among these problem solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation.

Worth reading/listening
Revisado: 09-04-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes!
As usual Hollywood left out most of the good stuff and added things for drama....
So pop in our ear buds and listen to the WHOLE story there is so much more to it that is worth discovering!
These women are/were amazing!

At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Unable to read or write or recall the name of his hometown or even his own last name, he survived alone for weeks on the rough streets of Calcutta before ultimately being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia. Despite his gratitude, Brierley always wondered about his origins. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he had the opportunity to look for the needle in a haystack he once called home.

Would you consider the audio edition of Lion to be better than the print version?
I read the book before I watched the movie and was glad I did!
The movie is good but as always the experience of being inside the story does not translate for me on screen.
In this world of made up far fetched Hollywood nonsense a true tale is much appreciated!

Not very well written.

The basic idea has merit but it isn't developed.

No too long for such thin content.

Where does Big Little Lies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It was one of the better books. I watched the series
AFTER I listened to the audio and hands down the book is better.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
As a child of a"charming" violent father it was tough at times. That said the characters and actions were true to life from my experience.Refreshing to see flawed people with realistic reactions to events in place of pure heroes often portrayed.

Not very original. Had potential but fell short by using overused elf vs man vs dwarf strife. Some parts felt like a rip off from Lord of the rings

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Intriguing and a good listen
Revisado: 08-21-14
If you could sum up The Way of Kings in three words, what would they be?
I enjoyed this audio book, the narration was pretty good.
The story is involved and draws you in and keeps you listening.
The use of of modern terms, accents and military tactics in a fantasy world seems a bit lazy. When an alternate world is constructed it should be complete.
What about Kate Reading and Michael Kramer ’s performance did you like?
The voices were clear for the most part, there was a time or two I was not sure WHO was speaking until the text clarified it. The use of accents was disappointing to hear modern accents from an alternate planet was distracting.
