Dark , very dark
Revisado: 10-15-16
Where does When Gravity Fails rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In a peculiar place, it's a powerful even compelling book but so very dark. I didn't like or relate to a single character but listened to it until the end. I didn't like anything about the Boudayeen but this is an incredible book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of When Gravity Fails?
There are so many but the few times Marie was happy or felt love stand out
What about Jonathan Davis’s performance did you like?
Everything, his performance is perfect.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Abandon hope....
Any additional comments?
I'm not sure if I love this book or hate it. It's certainly not a fun cozy book

The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve.

Amazing
Revisado: 10-12-16
Action, humor, intelligent characters, subtle but effective horror. The suspense builds through the book to an intense climax. Read by the infinitely talented Ray Porter. Wow! This may be the best book I've read/listened to in 2016.

Although the exciting military career she hoped for never got off the ground, Ky Vatta ended up seeing plenty of combat when she took the helm of one of the commercial transport vessels in her family's fleet...and steered it into a full-blown war. Now the lessons she learned in that trial by fire are about to pay off---because this time, the war has come to her. Someone has launched a full-throttle offensive against Vatta Transport Ltd., Ky's father's interstellar shipping empire.

Good story, poor reader
Revisado: 11-23-15
Would you try another book from Elizabeth Moon and/or Cynthia Holloway?
I love Elizabeth Moon but I intend to never purchase a book read by Cynthia Holloway again.
This means I won't be listening to the rest of the Vatta's War series. I will look for the books in a print format.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Marque and Reprisal?
The hand to hand combat in space.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Some people perform a book, enhancing the material. Cynthia simply read it aloud. Very little differentation of character voices and common words mispronouced.

A knight of Cygnar follows a strict moral code. His integrity is beyond reproach. He holds himself to the highest standards whether dealing with friend or foe. And he values honor above all. The year is 606 AR, and Cygnar has been sorely pressed by its enemies both at home and abroad. In Caspia, the conflict with the Protectorate is about to erupt into full war with the looming invasion of Sul. The Cygnaran military is desperate for soldiers with the skill, strength, and bravery to take up the devastating galvanic weaponry of the new Storm Division.

Story predictable but enjoyable. Ray Porter's performance excellent. He really brought the book to life.
