Historia
When prospector Bob Broadhead went out to Gateway on the Heechee spacecraft, he decided he would know which was the right mission to make him his fortune. Three missions later, now famous and permanently rich, Robinette Broadhead has to face what happened to him and what he is...in a journey into himself as perilous and even more horrifying than the nightmare trip through the interstellar void that he drove himself to take!

Overall enjoyable read
Revisado: 01-05-15
Where does Gateway rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This audiobook, really kept me on the edge of my seat ready for something substantial to happen. Which unfortunately never did. Still an enjoyable book.
Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman and Robert J. Sawyer ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Never have before, but I'm a fan now. He saved this book by his performance.
Any additional comments?
the psycho-analysis parts are pure brilliance. This book is really about a guy who faces up to his feelings and fears, rather than the space opera I was expecting. Those parts of the book are what really save it.

Historia
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Great Narrator
Revisado: 11-06-14
Would you listen to Steelheart again? Why?
Yes, a very engaging book, with tons of action. Maybe directed towards teens, but audible is the perfect medium for this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but being over 6 hours alas I had to sleep.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend this to anyone. Great production value, great story, and great voice. Worth every penny!

Epic Fantasy
Revisado: 11-03-14
What did you love best about The Eye of the World?
That his characters were flawed, just like the rest of us. They weren't willing participants like alot of other fantasy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Eye of the World?
The Beggar pointing at Rand and screaming. I can totally picture that in my mind.
What about Kate Reading and Michael Kramer ’s performance did you like?
I enjoyed both of them. it took a bit of getting used to them switching back and forth. But it was intentional and they switched at perfect moments.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend this to anyone. Glad there are so many books to go through. I originally heard of these books due to my favorite author Brandon Sanderson finishing this series. He cannot come out with new Stormlight archive books fast enough, so I figured I'd read everything he's written. I'm glad I have to read all the Jordan stuff first to get to when Sanderson finishes this series.

Historia
After sixty years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick lets the secrets in his Little Red Book be heard by the golf world in this classic work. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hypertechnical jargon that's grown up around the game, and lets all golfers play their best - whatever their level.

Historia
His gentle demeanor and timeless wisdom made Harvey Penick America's best-loved teacher of the game of golf. At the time of his death in April 1995, Harvey was well along in the work on this, his fourth book of golf instruction. Like his classic Little Red Book, The Game for a Lifetime is filled not so much with swing tips and stance aids, but with a timeless philosophy that seeks to improve your play by improving how you feel about your game.
