Historia
One morning, the residents of Walden, Virginia, woke up to find the rest of the world gone. Just...gone. Surrounding their town was a wall of inky darkness, plummeting Walden into permanent night. Nothing can get in - not light, not people, not even electricity, radio, TV, internet, food, or water. And nothing can get out.

The concept is pretty cool, but the execution is lacking. Dumb decisions, aimless plot, mediocre characters. Lots of promise but absolutely no depth.

Misses the mark
Revisado: 10-09-23
I like the Robinson - Bray duo, however this story seriously misses the mark. The first person present perspective from an allegedly 13 year old is challenging. The secret half god society is a bit derivative. I was really looking forward to this series, but bailed halfway through book 2 because the story wasn't compelling and the character was super lame.

A Country Cinderella Story
Revisado: 08-28-23
The voice acting in the audible version was great! The characters were complex and detailed. The story was engaging and heartwarming. The only issue I had was the unrealistic and contrived manner in which Annie Lee's deep dark secret was maintained until literally the last 10 minutes of the book. The book would have been perfect if they had just dealt with her having a secret realistically. That being said, the book was really fun and the voice acting was fantastic!

Historia
After twelve-year-old John Boarhog’s mom dies, the last thing he wants is to be schlepped off to the Jersey Home for Boys, where kids are forced to make skinny jeans for hipsters and are fed nothing but kale. Instead, he makes himself a snug home in the ceiling of the New York Museum of Natural History, where he reads anything he can get his hands on and explores the artifacts after hours. But when a rare Egyptian ruby—the highlight of the museum’s new exhibit—goes missing, John is accused of the crime.

Engaging and fun book!
Revisado: 07-08-23
This book is very well written. The characters are fun and larger than life. There are moments that are legitimately laugh out loud. I really appreciated the depth of plotting and storytelling - the author never took the cliched approach of building suspense by having the characters not communicate or be unbelievably dumb about things. Everything fits intentionally and seamlessly into a wonderful story that engaged both me and my 12 year old son! The narrator for the audiobook did a great job.

When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy. Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy.

Starship Troopers meets Hammers Slammers
Revisado: 07-02-23
This series is excellent military sci-fi! It's like a zoomed in version of Heinlein's Starship Troopers - more depth to the characters, the battles, and their interactions - combined with the grit of Drake's Slammers series.
A+ world building. Likable characters and believable situations. The military aspect is woven into the story seamlessly and adds to the whole story. Great example of what military sci-fi should be!

Historia
The Earth’s navy is left drifting among the stars as Nyctus ships swarm, their purpose unknown as they continue their advance, burning one system after another. Humanity's extinction seems inevitable. But on one of the forgotten worlds, a boy is left behind, and he holds a talent unlike anything the galaxy has ever known. Thorn Stellers is a mage, trained to lead and fight. With a renegade division of warriors at his side, and with weapons far different from those of old Earth, Thorn has a chance at standing up to humanity's enemies.

Pass
Revisado: 06-19-23
I lasted 1/3 of the way through the book before I decided to stop wasting my time. The pacing is a slog, the "training" for starcaster recruits is haphazard, and the military ranks are nonsensical.

Purposefully Different
Revisado: 03-05-23
If you're struggling with the book, the afterward helps provide structure and a framework for understanding. That being said, this book is a wonderful fantasy novel about power, ordinary people, and magic set in Earthsea. 9/10, recommend!

Historia
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

Fantastic story, performance, and surprises!
Revisado: 02-14-23
First, the story is fantastic! I appreciated how the author writes three dimensional characters. He explores the complexity of politics and power within a society without dumbing it down. Many of the characters are multi-faceted and have multiple goals/agendas. superbly done!
Second, the performance is spectacular! During action scenes the performer speeds up his diction, really thrusting the listener into the scene. His voices are great and helpful - not cliched and annoying like some books.
Third, the surprises are perfect. Can't say more. Enjoy!

They arrive to find the frontier colony strangely deserted. When the shit hits the fan and the Argonauts face a possible alien infestation, it's time to pull out the big guns.

Decent sci-fi from a new author
Revisado: 09-02-22
The world building was good, solid tech and military elements. The limitations on planet and the adversary faced there were good. Audible performance was really solid.
All that being said, the dialogue was awkward and the ending felt contrived. Overall 3/5.
