Historia
If there is anything more dangerous than the Plague itself, it is the journey that awaits those sworn to stop it. Tyrus, the renegade magic-wielder exiled from Kenatos, knows this firsthand. His original mission through the Scourgelands met a tragic end, leaving him as the sole survivor.

Story was great, plenty of intrigue, twists and surprises. Loved the ending. My only dissatisfaction was with the narrator and both oddly pronounced and sometimes incorrect words.

Historia
More than any other writer before or since, Louis L'Amour brought the American West to life. His action-packed stories deal with eternal themes: honor, deceit, passion, betrayal, loyalty, courage, love. His settings are historically accurate, his prose riveting, and his characters colorful: good guys, bad buys, toughs, roughs, sidekicks and saints.

Revisado: 10-14-24
While the narration by Willie Nelson wasn't too bad the frequent guitar "interludes" became irritating as they broke up the stories' flow.

Historia
"The Defiant Agents" tells of an encounter between Western heroes, and the Russian Communists, and a mysterious alien race that has used time travel to alter Earth. The alien library discovered in the previous novel ("Galactic Derelict", published in 1959) proved to have locations of many unknown worlds. Finding the secure location of planet Topaz compromised, Apache operatives, including Travis Fox, are sent on an emergency trip by Earth with a mind-altering machine, Redax, that crash lands.

Good story but frustrating narration
Revisado: 07-05-24
This was a good read following Travis Fox from the previous Time Traders book (#2) who encounters unique challenges on another world. My frustration with the narrator was that he sounded more like a Librevox narrator beginning each chapter with the book title, author and chapter number, and stating "end of chapter __" at the chapter conclusion. That really breaks up the flow of the story. Very disappointing. I've found another recording by a different narrator and got it too.

I was very glad to have listened to this Norton find on Audible, because I now have the whole story that begins with, To The Stars and concludes with Star Born. I have the latter book but hadn't heard of the former. So this was well worth the listen to get the full picture!

The first book written by C.S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity.

Challenging listen
Revisado: 05-01-24
This is a very interesting tale which I believe would have been more understandable in written form. Then I could have look up unfamiliar words and taken time to ponder what was being communicated. As it was I floundered trying to follow the concepts related, in addition to remembering the names of characters and places!
Of course this may well be due to age and other factors, but in future I think I will stick to the written word when such books come up.

Historia
Now that Pern can look forward to a future without the threat of Threadfall, the people are free to leave their protective stone holds and spread across more of the planet, as well as improve their lives with the newly discovered ancient technology. Not everyone is happy, though. Some resist the change, and consider anything new to be an "abomination".

Skies of Pern is a great conclusion
Revisado: 01-02-23
Before commenting on this story I want to address the narrator. I particularly like Dick Hill and have been thankful for the consistency of his narration through the Pern series. Those who don't like his voice are entitled to their opinion, but in numerous instances it seems to me the dislike may have a gender bias to it. Personally, since the majority of characters in the books are male or dragons, a man's voice makes sense, and I think Mr. Hill does a fine job: he has a wide range of character voices and communicates a variety of emotions effectively. So thank you, Mr. Hill for the MANY hours of listening pleasure you have afforded me!
Anne McCaffrey's Pern series is phenomenal and I really appreciated this last book that ties up some loose ends that I've wondered about, as well as providing a look into Pern's future beyond obliterating thread. The story of the romance between Tai and F'lessan takes you through the gamut of emotions, from uplifting to poignant, gratified cheer to deeply sorrowful, drawing to a conclusion that is satisfying and impressive.

Historia
The first of these novels, A Princess of Mars, was Burroughs' first book, and he wrote the next two novels in quick succession. Together they tell the story of John Carter of Mars - how he came to Mars, met the love of his life, and quickly found himself occupied full-time defending her and saving his adopted planet from interplanetary evildoers.

Great rendering of The John Carter Trilogy
Revisado: 12-05-22
Besides enjoying the overall trilogy, I truly appreciated the narrator's style (hooray for voice inflection!), and the insights he related in the "notes" chapters following each book. There were a number of factors I wasn't aware of regarding the historical time period and the author himself, so the notes added significantly to my appreciation of Burroughs' tales.

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.
