Historia
Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other televangelists first spoke of the United States being a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedoms and our way of life.

reads like it was written yesterday
Revisado: 03-24-25
It’s terrifyingly accurate in predicting the rise of fascist movements in the U.S.—not just the how, but the why. Every chapter feels like a headline from this week. It's more a prophecy than what fascists say the Bible is. If you want to understand where we are and how we got here, this is required reading.

Historia
If society collapsed, could you survive? When Morgan Carter's car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country's power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored - if it ever will be.

conspiracy theorists fever dream come true
Revisado: 09-09-24
The excessive focus on technical details significantly disrupted the flow of the story. Constant references to the lmf29k versus the mf29g variety of the woozoo wazoo felt unnecessary and often irrelevant to the plot. While I appreciate attention to detail, it became a distraction.
The government conspiracy plot was also a disappointment. It felt like a generic, over-the-top trope, lacking the nuance and complexity I expect from a well-crafted story. It was more akin to a straw man argument than a compelling narrative.

Historia
Jason arrives at a kingdom in peril and he's surprised to discover that it's not his job to save it. With the authorities fulfilling their responsibilities (for once), he looks forward to some quiet time to rest and recuperate. The locals might not find ceaseless monster onslaughts and an interdimensional invasion relaxing, but Jason has had a rough few years. He's doing his best to let go of his anger. While his team is caught up in duty, Jason has no shortage of people looking to interfere with his rest. Enemies—old and new—are circling, and even would-be allies are trouble.

Historia
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

New Favorite
Revisado: 11-07-21
I bought this book simply because I was looking to get more bang for my buck on my membership credits. Trying to find the most hours per credit so I had no idea if I would like this book or not. This is now my absolute most favorite series.
The character development and world development are hilarious and in depth. The storyline I just can't get enough of this buying more credits to get the rest of the series.

Historia
The sequel to the number one Audible Best Seller Earthcore, Mount Fitz Roy continues the tale of Patrick O’Doyle and Bertha Lybrand, who were part of the horror show that occurred far below the mountains of Utah. They learn that the "mother of all motherlodes” discovered there was not unique, that there is another deposit similar to it three miles beneath the towering peak of Cerro Chaltén on the disputed border between Chile and Argentina. O'Doyle, a middle-aged former member of a disgraced black-ops unit, gets his aging team back together to go after this fortune.

For countless millennia, the dwarves of the have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it.

Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone - indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. But all that is about to change.

Wolf brings it to life
Revisado: 01-13-20
Thanks to Matthew Wolf for making a great story explode to life. He made each character have their own distinct voice and personality without a hint of forced voicing. I predict he will climb to the ranks of "narrated by" royalty like Ray Porter and R. C. Bray.
Of course he had great material to work with. Dwarves is a great book and I will be listening to the next in the series.

Tears while Vacuuming
Revisado: 09-15-19
This book had my eyes full of tears as I was vacuuming and doing laundry, etc. My wife sees me and says what is wrong with you, you're just vacuuming. 😂😭 I was too choked up to be able to explain. All I could gulp out was, "this book!"

Audio Drama is like a drive in movie
Revisado: 07-09-19
Listening to this audio drama was like tuning into a drive-in movie but not been able to watch screen.
Love the series but I feel like this drama needed some more narrative guidance over much of the action sounds.
