Historia
Richard K. Morgan has received widespread praise for his astounding 25th-century novels featuring Takeshi Kovacs, and has established a growing legion of fans. Mixing classic noir sensibilities with a searing futuristic vision of an age when death is nearly meaningless, Morgan returns to his saga of betrayal, mystery, and revenge, as Takeshi Kovacs, in one fatal moment, joins forces with a mysterious woman who may have the power to shatter Harlan's World forever.

Not As Good As Its Predecessors
Revisado: 01-06-25
Technically good writing, as usual. That’s something not all that common now days. The world building is solid. Where this book falls short is its tendency to bog down. It could have been a hundred pages shorter and been a much tighter, better flowing story. Still worth reading to finish out the series.

Historia
Robert "Bubba" Brabham never wanted to hunt monsters. He mostly wanted to drink beer, hunt deer, and chase women, like every other giant redneck in the world. But life interfered, and Bubba found himself holster-deep in the family business: monster hunting. Now he's the Southeastern Regional Hunter for the Holy Roman Catholic Church...Bubba has to save the world from the things that go bump in the night! Just as soon as he's done with his beer. And maybe after one more lap dance.

Entertaining But Flawed
Revisado: 12-15-24
The stories were entertaining and I enjoyed the listen. The reason I only gave it three stars is twofold. First, the continuity between the different stories/books is terrible. Sometimes it didn’t match from chapter to chapter. If that sort of sloppy writing doesn’t bother you, then you’ve got no worries with this audiobook (except maybe my second point). Secondly, the reader was constantly inconsistent. It seemed like there were multiple readers, even though there is only one person credited. It was enough to sometimes distract from the story.

Entertaining
Revisado: 10-23-24
Good voice acting. Entertaining overall, but filled with a lot of Hollywood cliches. If you are going to write about something, at least do some research. It is not hard to find out about the law or crab fishing. That one, half watched episode of Deadliest Catch was not enough.

Historia
In the interlocking Tales of the Dying Earth Vance explores the world at the end of time when sun is guttering. Light itself is different and Vance’s landscapes —described in language that is lyrical, seductive, and partly self-invented —are wild and surreal, full of opportunity and danger. On the Dying Earth, the rules of physics as we know them have been amended and replaced by magic. The laws of evolution have spun out creatures that are humanoid, hybrid, and often terrifying.

Historia
The Theocracy has been dead for 20 years, and the Polity rules on Masada - but it is an order that the rebels of the Tidy Squad cannot accept, and the iconic Jeremiah Tombs is top of their hitlist. Tombs, meanwhile, has escaped his sanatorium. His insanity must be cured, because the near-mythical hooder, called "the Technician", that attacked him all those years ago, did something to his mind even the AIs fail to understand. Tombs might possess information about the suicide of an entire alien race.

Good Story, Unnecessary Bashing of Religion
Revisado: 10-01-24
As usually, an entertaining, well written story by Neal Asher. And as usual he sometimes plays fast and loose with basic laws of physics to further his story. What I take umbrage with is his bashing of religions (not just in the books revolving around Masada). Why bother insulting fans who aren’t insulting him. I’m not offended for people who are religious, but I do believe there is wisdom in “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Where is the tolerance and acceptance liberals are always espousing?

Glacial Pacing

I would say this book plodded along at a pedestrian pace, but that would be disparaging to pedestrians everywhere. I offer some advice to the author; bone up on your physics and don’t dive so deep into your thesaurus for a Marvel adaptation.

POW Aden Jansen has lost a decade of his life to both the war and internment when he’s recruited by the Alliance. He’s to return to Gretia as an undercover Blackguard operative and destroy Odin’s Wolves—an insurgency that’s setting his home world afire. The mission comes with a full pardon and a chance to reclaim his identity. It also means rejoining his friends and family in space. That’s motive enough. If he can succeed—and survive.

And Yet Another Narrator
Revisado: 08-05-24
The book is what I’ve come to expect from this author. Good story, good writing, and very few factual errors. As always his work is entertaining and enjoyable. Now for the elephant in the room, can we get some consistency in narrators? I mean if you want to call it consistently inconsistent, you’re not wrong. Four books and four narrators. It can’t be that difficult, can it?

Well Written But Flawed
Revisado: 06-12-24
As usual Dugoni is technically a good writer and he or his editor (or both) did a good job with the editing. However, the book is filled with factual errors that could easily have been researched with internet access and a search engine. There were also various plot holes and several faulty leaps in logic by the characters. Probably the weakest book in the series. But I have to say, overall it was entertaining.

Meh

A few clever lines of dialogue here and there, but nothing that would make someone laugh out loud. I did take umbrage with the implication that no one cares about the victims of HIV. More money is spent on HIV research, domestically and abroad, than even cancer.

A Worthwhile Listen
Revisado: 02-10-24
It brings the series to a satisfying end. The story was good, albeit with some foreseeable incidents that were foreshadowed in the earlier books. In fairness it also had a few unexpected twist. As usual the author is heavy on theoretical physics but light on practical physics. The narration was not as consistent as in previous entries in the series. Overall an enjoyable experience.
