Historia
While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for Fat Chance, Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery - our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover. Dopamine is the "reward" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction. Serotonin is the "contentment" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don't need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression.

This book was a great review of what I already knew and added even more knowledge of how to live a healthy life. The biochemistry and behavior connection is brought home expertly. I am a pharmacist and lifelong fitness practitioner and found this book enlightening, a bit scary, and has prompted me to re-examine some of my OWN behaviors and diet. PRICELESS.

Historia
Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

I hemmed and hawed about this one for months, but finally took the plunge and listened. Very entertaining in a light-hearted humor sort of way but kept me engaged throughout. Give it a try...you won't be disappointed!

Historia
Sandman Slim has been to Heaven and Hell and many places in between, but now he finds himself in an unknown land: the far, far edge of the Tenebrae, the desolate home of the lost dead. Making his way inland with nothing but his unerring instinct for trouble to guide him, he collides with a caravan of the damned on a mysterious crusade, led by the ruthless Magistrate. Alone and with no clue how to get back home, he throws in with this brutal bunch made up of human souls, Hellion deserters, rogue angels - and Father Traven.

As with all the other books in this series, I absolutely loved both the story and the narration. I was expecting a bit more bad-ass-ness, but I suppose we all grow and mature. :)

Historia
Maps have a mysterious hold over us. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.

I am a habitual Sci-fi/Fantasy listener. Occasionally I branch out to non-fiction. This was WELL WORTH THE CREDIT. I would have given my 2 credits for this book. Extremely well written. Narrated masterfully (yeah...Scott Brick..how could it not be?) and keeping your attention through detailed technical points, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this book. I just wish it were longer.

I couldn't wait to listen to this one....I couldn't wait to find out what happened...and when it ended I revisited the last bunch of chapters several times to relish the story. Maberry writes the epic story and Porter delivers it with his usual punch. It is like eating an epic meal without the calories but with all the satisfaction.

I don't *do* children oriented fiction generally. Actually, I avoid such stories. Not. My. Thing. However, from the beginning I enjoyed this listen. The writing is superb and draws you in...even if you don't want to be drawn. Bravo, Mr. McIlveen for leading me outside my literary comfort zone!

When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But for Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems. The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, leading him to the gates of the nation's royal academy - a whole world of secrets in itself. But this is only the beginning of his discoveries.

I took a chance on this one because it had brilliant ratings and was long (I love long books!) I was happily surprised! Normally I dislike the 'coming of age' storylines, but this was so well written *and* expertly narrated that I found myself enthralled from the beginning. Well worth the credits!!!

Historia
It's not easy being king. Especially when you've got an allergy to sunrise and sunset, a fire goddess for a mother-in-law, demonic adversaries, random assassins, and a basement full of insecurities to cope with. Add to that his daughter, the fire priestess/princess; a couple of lightly deranged professional magicians; a whole city full of wizards; and enough squabbling princes to resemble a kindergarten argument. It's enough to make a man want to just go home.

I stumbled across this series by accident, and wow, am I glad! Don't be put off by the length of the books...you will get sucked into the story, even when there is no 'action' happening, by the excellent writing and phenomenal narration. I love the 'train of thought' moments! This is a unique and brilliant read...both books!

Maberry does it *again*...I continue to be blown away by the trouble he puts Joe Ledger through! Never a dull moment, Ray Porter's narration is *amazing* (as usual,) and another fascinating plot premise in the series. I found myself looking for reasons to listen at every opportunity. This is a *must-have!*

Since time immemorial the Spires have sheltered humanity, towering for miles over the mist-shrouded surface of the world. Within their halls aristocratic houses have ruled for generations, developing scientific marvels, fostering trade alliances, and building fleets of airships to keep the peace. Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship Predator. Fiercely loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the enemy's shipping lines by attacking their cargo vessels.

I am a long-time Jim Butcher fan and was curious to explore his brand new world. Wow, did this one blow me away! This new series is solidly based both in character and world-building. The essence of 'cat' is spot-on... it really depicts what I like to refer to as 'cattitude!' The narrator is fantastic and helps draw you into the story even more. Try it, as it shall not dissapoint!
