Historia
A pyramid predating all known cultures appears without warning. Its discovery throws into question everything we know about the origins of mankind. Inside lies incredible technology, proof of a culture far more advanced than our own. Something dark lurks within, eager to resume a war as old as mankind. When it is unleashed, it heralds the end of our species' reign.

What disappointed you about Deathless Collection: Books 1-3 and the Prequel Novella?
only the Bad Guys are likeable! The Good Guys are so sickeningly good, and STUPID!- if you don't have a second to spare due to your eminent demise, then why stand around for several minutes discussing that you don't have any time to spare???? Just get out, or kill the bad guy or whatever it is that needs to be done!
What do you think your next listen will be?
Certainly not any more of Chris Fox. I do Like Brandon Sanderson, however his Elantris book is terrible.
What three words best describe Ryan Kennard Burke’s performance?
could be better. why?-Good Guy characters are sickeningly good, and Burke manages to make them sound whiney as well.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Deathless Collection: Books 1-3 and the Prequel Novella?
too many to list. I found my mind wandering many times throughout, and could not finish although I have been trying to get though it for months.

Historia
Before The Company, Robert Littell made a name for himself with The Defection of A.J. Lewinter. Hailed as "a perfect little gem" and a "concise, smart, and funny [novel that] turns Cold War spy cliches on their head," A.J. Lewinter tells the story of an insignificant American scientist whose defection to the Soviet Union becomes a terrifying political chess match of deceit and treachery. Not to be missed!

Well Done
Revisado: 03-11-13
Would you listen to The Defection of A.J. Lewinter again? Why?
no
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
his voice is mellow and he does different characters in a slightly different way so that it is easy to follow who is speaking when the author does not write in who says what. He rarely does a sudden change to the volumeof his voice (it is REALLY ANNOYING to have your eardrums blasted as some narrators do) .
Any additional comments?
leaves you hanging a bit at the end, but the story line is good and it makes you think.

dissapointing
Revisado: 02-04-13
What did you like best about The Charm School? What did you like least?
narrator was great as usual. Story started out good, but dissolved into a boring romance, with a loud mouth female lead (I am a female, and could not stand her) that is supposed to be smart & educated, but cannot keep her mouth shut when it would benefit herself & her lover. Predictable ending.
If you’ve listened to books by Nelson DeMille before, how does this one compare?
have not & now will not
Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
great as usual
Did The Charm School inspire you to do anything?
no

Agatha Award-winning author Rhys Bowen’s charming combination of intrigue and romance blended with a touch of humor shines when performed by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Katherine Kellgren, whose deft range and impeccable accent work make it hard to believe this isn’t a multicast performance.

unbelievable (no, really, not believable)
Revisado: 12-20-12
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
anyone who likes the True Romance type of book.
What was most disappointing about Rhys Bowen’s story?
Cannot believe that the Heroine captures the heart of the male lead-
Would you be willing to try another one of Katherine Kellgren’s performances?
unfortunately I purchased 3 before listening to any of them- the story descriptions sounded intruiging. Her voice is quite annoying at times, especially when she shreiks(!!!!).

boring
Revisado: 07-25-12
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
perverts perhaps although they would just as likely rent an adult movie.
Would you ever listen to anything by Kerry Greenwood again?
no not ever. The story was not at all interesting. There was no mystery. The gratuitous sex was neither shocking nor believable.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Murder in the Dark?
all of it- sorry it just was not at all good.

This is Christie at her best. Emilia Fox does a superb job narrating, using subtle voice changes for each character which makes it easy to follow the dialogue.
