Historia
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Exceeds expectations by leaps and bounds
Revisado: 07-23-24
I have listened (and re-listened) to many of Brandon Sanderson's works, many of them narrated by Michael Kramer, but this one took me by storm. The fact that Mr. Sanderson chose to narrate this from Hoyd's perspective gave it a delightful level of whimsy, and yet another glimpse into a beautifully imaginative world with dynamic characters who feel like actual and relatable people made me knock this volume out in a single over-time shift at work. Mr. Kramer's performance is to be expected for any of his performances, which is to say that when I listen to an audiobook and just can't get into it because the narrator is simply lackluster, I remark to myself, "Well, they're no Michael Kramer." Absolute titans of their respective crafts. I highly recommend.

Historia
It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Absolutely Incredible
Revisado: 02-14-22
This was one of those books that you have an incredibly hard time pausing. I was hooked from the very beginning, and I felt like this was a somewhat terrifyingly believable unfolding of a post-apocalyptic/pandemic world.

Historia
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

This Guy
Revisado: 07-13-21
Brandon Sanderson is the only author who has managed to get me to binge his books more than once. Absolutely brilliant story, absolutely brilliant performance by Michael Kramer. To any listeners just dabbling their toes into Sanderson's Cosmere, I would suggest this and its following storyline as a good place to start and get really hooked into his writing style.

Historia
Take a wonderfully crazed excursion into the demented heart of a tropical paradise - a world of cargo cults, cannibals, mad scientists, ninjas, and talking fruit bats. Our bumbling hero is Tucker Case, a hopeless geek trapped in a cool guy's body, who makes a living as a pilot for the Mary Jean Cosmetics Corporation.

Absolutely Grand
Revisado: 06-18-18
The first time through, this was not my favorite Chrostopher Moore book. But after relistening to it, you pick up on little things you probably missed the first time, and honestly, now it's one of my top five favorites by him. The amount of research this man does to put forth a credible (despite the paranormal aspects) story is incredible, and you would do well to gives this comedian with a pen a listen. It'll be well worth the credit, or however much this book costs.

Historia
The Lord of Hell has a staffing shortage; there aren't enough devils and demons to torment the ever-swelling ranks of the eternally damned. Satan thinks Steve is an ideal candidate for the Demon Corps. He's smart, tenacious and able to dish out punishment when the need arises. But as Old Nick tries to recruit Hell's handyman in chief, Steve gets distracted by a more pressing issue: Florence Nightingale, his on-again, off-again girlfriend, is missing, possibly kidnapped.

Historia
Deep below the University, there is a dark place. Few people know of it: a broken web of ancient passageways and abandoned rooms. A young woman lives there, tucked among the sprawling tunnels of the Underthing, snug in the heart of this forgotten place. Her name is Auri, and she is full of mysteries. The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a brief, bittersweet glimpse of Auri’s life, a small adventure all her own. At once joyous and haunting, this story offers a chance to see the world through Auri’s eyes.

I suggest listening to his other work first, but this is one of my favorites by Rothfuss.
