Historia
Time is a resource that has to be managed. On Discworld, the Monks of History store time and pump it from the places where it's wasted — li ke underwater (how much time does a codfish need?) to places that need it —like cities, where there's never enough of time.

Great writing, but bad audio quality
Revisado: 06-24-24
The review title pretty much says it all. This is a wonderful story with clever, insightful moments that also managed to be funny and entertaining. Unfortunately, the audio quality of this book is not very good. It sounds like an old radio playing at the bottom of a well. Turning the volume of the device up very high, allowed me to listen to it anyway, but this caused the audio to occasionally spike uncomfortably and becomes somewhat distorted. Anyway, as a blind person, I would rather have bad audio quality than no audiobook at all. Still it would be nice to have a better version with better audio quality.

Historia
Catherine "Cat" Leblanc is an orphan that is about as far from super-rich as one can be. When the Incursion alarms start blaring and the sky starts raining hungry xenos, it's just another blemish on an already piss-poor afternoon.

Good book, but fair warning about sequel
Revisado: 06-10-24
Warning, the sequel of this book is erotica.
I really enjoyed this book, it was fun, had funny moments and was action-packed. I was very excited for more of this series, however, I was very surprised and disappointed to realize that the next book in this series is erotica. The dialogue in book 2 is filled with sexual innuendos out of a porn movie as well as a couple explicit sex scenes. I would’ve liked to have gotten a warning about that before I purchased book too, which is why I’m taking the time to leave this review. All of that being said I genuinely did enjoy this first book and would recommend it, but do not expect the series to be like this one

Historia
Having only recently ascended from your average nobody to what many would consider the pinnacle of humanity, the inexperienced Cat is overwhelmed, to say the least. She’s worried about how her girlfriend, Lucy, will react to the changes, and wonders whether she can use her newfound power and growing influence to care for her “kittens,” a group of orphans in her charge. Meanwhile, as if black-ops assassins and their corporate masters weren’t dangerous enough, the alien Antithesis have infiltrated the mining town of Black Bear.

Unexpected change of tone
Revisado: 06-10-24
I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was excited to see how the series would progress, so I was very disappointed with how different book 2 was. My main issue isn’t with the unexpected explicit sex scenes but more with the dialogue of the book in general. To give credit to the author, they do a very clever thing by keeping the sex scenes contained in easy to skip chapters called interludes. The problem is, that the book overall has a constant sexual undertone, and specifically the dialogue is filled with constant sexual innuendo. I suppose this is the authors idea of humor. While there was some sexual innuendo in book one, it was minor and felt more like teasing. In this book, the sexual innuendo and puns were, so constant it felt like dialogue out of a bad porn movie and more like sexual harassment than teasing. It is especially annoying because book one was so different making it feel like a bait and switch.

Historia
Once a scrap-wrangling nobody from Phoenix, Arizona, Juliet Bianchi's life was forever changed when fate handed her a hyper-advanced AI chip that launched her into the arena of high-powered, high-stakes operators. To her surprise—and everyone else's—she had a natural talent for cybernetic-enhanced mayhem and mercenary work. Now, that work will take Juliet where she's always wanted to go: off world. Unfortunately, the reason is that her faithful friend Honey and a child prodigy she was caring for have been kidnapped.

Revisado: 06-02-24
This is an amazing series so far, and I can’t wait for more. I thought the characters growth and overall progression has been great. I appreciate that. There are some video game themes, but they are kept minimal. This has become one of my favorite series and I am very excited to see where the story goes.

Historia
In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it.

Historia
Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Not long ago, NSLICE-00P—short for Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer—performed her job with cold, calculated, merciless obedience. When she was ordered to destroy something, it got seriously destroyed. Unfortunately, that led her to take out her own creator before he created her, casting the cyborg out of her reality and into a world of magic, levels, and skills, with her very own dungeon core and no one to tell her what to do. As it turned out, fate put NSLICE-00P in the right place at the right time: she's become a legit heroine in this new existence.

Revisado: 05-28-24
I very much enjoyed this book, it was a fun, fast-paced story with great characters and world building. I am excited to continue this series. Also, the narration was excellent. My only complaint is that the stat messages for the main character are excessively long, But that doesn’t actually affect the story and I can fast forward through those parts, so it’s still a five star for me.

Historia
Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

Cringe worthy harem story
Revisado: 05-18-24
As a general rule, I usually don’t take the time to write bad reviews, I figure artist subjective, and it’s not worth hating on other peoples art. However, in this case, I think there are a few things I wish I would have been warned about before buying this book. I think my main problem is that the description of this book felt misleading because it didn’t mention the overall sexual tone of the book and specifically the buildup towards a harem. I am not a prudish person and usually have no issue with sexual Contant in my books. However, I usually try to avoid books with a specific focus on harems because they tend to feel like the cringe writing of a horny teenager describing a power trip fantasy. Perhaps other people familiar with this author Felt as if he was holding back because in this book he does not explicitly describe the sexual act, but I would almost prefer explicit erotic content over this awkward, main character being worshiped by all the women in the book. The sexualization of women in this book felt uncomfortable overall, and the fact that the writing was bad, at times repetitive and definitely in need of an editor did not help. Unfortunately, the combination of writing and narration made the book in general and specifically the dialogue feel stilted and unnatural, almost as if written by an AI. On the plus side, the narration for the AI character in the book was well done. I personally will not continue this series and will remember this author‘s name so I can avoid their books in the future, but if you are a male interested in power trip, fantasies and harems, then you might like this, I suppose there are worst ways to waste your time.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

This was a great story, great writing, and great narration. The summary description is good and not much more needs to be said. If you are familiar with this author, then you know, he writes consistently good stuff. If not, get ready for a fun action, packed adventure.
