Great Performance and Story

Revisado: 05-08-17

I read this story in an anthology a while back, and enjoyed it just as much the second time around via Audible. It was a great story-telling experience and I recommend this to anyone who loves a great tale!

Another Great Time Travel Story!

Revisado: 01-16-17

Being a fan of time travel stories, I’ve been looking forward to listening to the audio book version of Michael Bunker’s short story, “The Santa Anna Gold,” ever since I heard it was coming out. I read it in the anthology Synchronic a few years ago, and was just so-so in my feelings towards it, but times change (I had to use the phrase since this IS a time travel story).

Perhaps, at least for me, the way this story is told comes across better when someone is spinning this particular yarn into your ear, as if you’re sitting around a campfire at night with a bunch of friends. The narrator did a great job bringing “The Santa Anna Gold” to life, making you feel like you are part of the story.

No doubt Bunker is one of the most talented writers in today’s crowded field, and if you haven’t read any of his fiction yet, you’re in for lots of fun.

Strongly Recommended!

Revisado: 12-18-16

Who doesn’t love time travel stories? Sometimes the consequences are unavoidable (think 12 Monkeys, the movie), sometimes scary (The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis), and sometimes just plain fun (Replay by Ken Grimwood). Some creators use sophisticated devices for their time travelers (whether a TARDIS or a Time Machine a la H.G. Wells), while others don’t fuss over the science or magic behind it, instead choosing to focus on what the time travel means to the characters via plot. But no spoilers here, because Jessup’s Door is a great story, and that’s what you really need to know.

I listened to the Audible version of this story, and very much enjoyed the narrator’s (Alex Silver) style. Michael Bunker never disappoints, and I strongly recommend giving this a read or a listen.

Fantastic Novel Brought to Life with the Narration

Revisado: 06-01-16

If you are a fan of zombie fiction, then The Red King: Wyrd, Book 1 by Nick Cole is a must read for you. If you are NOT a fan of zombie fiction, you still need to read it. And especially so if you appreciate nerve-wracking, post-apocalyptic novels and the exploration of such worlds.

Cole has multiple story lines going on, from survivors, to special ops guys, to mysterious insiders. There's a lot of mystery going on in The Red King, such as the origin of the relentless zombies, and I'm looking forward to learning some answers.

Nick Cole never lets his readers down. He knows how to write action scenes, but more importantly, he knows how to draw readers in and have empathy for his characters. He is a fantastic stylist, and if you've never read The Wasteland Saga or Soda Pop Soldier, you need to put them on your reading list.

The narrator, Guy Williams, does a fantastic job with the story, bringing it to life in a way that may leave you looking over your shoulder, hoping against hope that the zombies aren’t coming after you!
