Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Good story line but I don’t real like having the f- word used in every sentence of the books I listen to.
Revisado: 12-17-24
I think good authors can write with out having to constantly shock their readers/listeners with f word invectives. It’s a shame because it’s not in the preview that one hears before buying and since I got it on sale I can’t return it. I guess that’s why it was on sale. Clean up your thoughts John and your writing and I might listen to more of your books, but I doubt it after getting burned on this series. It’s so bad I couldn’t even finish it!

3.8 seems too high to me
Revisado: 07-10-21
Unfortunately a good performance can't overcome a weak plot, author seems to try to make up for it with overuse of invectives. I'd skip this one next time. Even B.P.'s great narrative abilities can't make up for it. Reader is left mostly guessing what is going on.

Historia
Kate Schechter would like to know why everyone she meets knows her name - and why Thor, the Norse god of thunder, keeps showing up on her doorstep. Dirk Gently, detective and refrigerator wrestler, can uncover the mystery, and only the absurdist wit of Douglas Adams can recount them with such relentless humor.

Useless

Waste of time, and the ending, well, there isn't one, it just kind of stops. Real glad I only paid $2.95 for it, in fact I'm going to ask for it back!

Good performance except for invective use
Revisado: 05-10-14
If you can wade through all the invective use with the f-word you could find a story that's interesting. Not waiting for future books.

Historia
Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are in Mexico, when they come upon a remarkable discovery - the skeleton of a man clutching an ancient sealed pot, and within the pot, a Mayan book, larger than anyone has ever seen. The book contains astonishing information about the Mayans, about their cities, and about mankind itself. The secrets are so powerful that some people would do anything to possess them - as the Fargos are about to find out. Before their adventure is done, many men and women will die for that book - and Sam and Remi may just be among them.

Another Clive Classic
Revisado: 11-05-13
As so many of Clives books are, imaginative and slightly beyond realistic, which makes them so much fun to read. Oh, Yes, can't forget adventurous!! I can't wait for the next fearsome Fargo feature :)

I thought by the 10th episode the quality of this excellent and very entertaining fiction would fall off, I was wrong. I'm as thrilled by the 10th as I was by the 1st. The character development is deep, the storyline is gripping. This is as good as I've listened too in a long time.

In my Top 5
Revisado: 12-20-12
This is in my top 5 books I've ever listened too. The story draws you in and doesn't release you, which is why I'm so anxious for Day 3 to come out! Good balance of thrilling action, mystery and interesting characters. This is one of those books that is worth a lot more then one credit.

remarkable
Revisado: 09-08-11
not long enough, the story and performance are so good the only issue is that it was over too soon. Same with the second book - I only wish the third in the series was already available.
