Historia
When two young sisters disappear from a strip mall parking lot in a small Pennsylvania town, their devastated mother hires an enigmatic bounty hunter, Alice Vega, to help find the girls. Immediately shut out by a local police department already stretched thin by budget cuts and the growing OxyContin and meth epidemic, Vega enlists the help of a disgraced former cop, Max Caplan. Cap is a man trying to put the scandal of his past behind him and move on, but Vega needs his help to find the girls, and she will not be denied.

Historia
Offering a nuanced and transformative take on immigration, multiculturalism, and America's role on the global stage, The Newcomers follows and reflects on the lives of 22 immigrant teenagers throughout the course of their 2015-2016 school year at Denver's South High School. Unfamiliar with American culture or the English language, the students range from the ages of 14 to 19 and come from nations struggling with drought, famine, or war.

Best One Yet!
Revisado: 09-03-19
I liked this the best of Ms Thorpe's book. The character development in all her books is excellent and she does a nice job of reporting context without judgment. She reports on the consequences she witnesses. In this sense, she presents a journalist view. It is obviously difficult to see some of those consequences when she has been close to her subjects for a year... Some might mistake her lamentations as fake news, I understood it as just news. The reader also did a good job of balancing author's emotions and care without sounding preachy.

A little too much
Revisado: 11-09-18
Although I agree with the sentiment, the story was a little too predictable and slightly preachy.

Historia
Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Short but thought provoking...
Revisado: 11-08-18
Love the narrator for his acting and narration to take a flyer on this short story.
Just enough young snark and mature approach to a job description for modern times in the character and from the reader.

The truth is still out there. The iconic hit that had millions searching for UFOs back in the 90s is now an exhilarating audio event, only from Audible. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reunite as FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, joining an ensemble of original cast members in an out-of-this-world production.

Annoying
Revisado: 09-13-18
I like sci-fi but I don't think, at least this screenplay, translates well into this format. The performance review does not pertain to actors...only to overall production cohesiveness.

Historia
In the chaotic last days of the war, a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find - his briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the world's finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine - an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food.

A little over the top... Even for a horse-person
Revisado: 05-18-18
I work with horses and I love and understand their personal intelligence and beauty. I learned a great deal from this book but felt that the author tended to anthropamorphise and attribute non equine motives and feelings. The deaths, injuries, and grit that all animals, along with their counterpart humans, face in war was probably only half described in this book...which made it more readable.

Historia
Two days before Christmas 1996, the broken, battered body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found outside her vacation home in West Cork, a serene region on Ireland’s idyllic southern coast. Decades later, no one has been charged with the murder, but the aggrieved inhabitants of West Cork are convinced they know who did it - and he still lives among them.

Tantamount to advertising, it is annoying. If I like a production, I will look up the talent. As you can see, the production was good but I won't be downloading many Audible productions if they persist in interrupting the flow of the story.

Historia
This is the bizarre tale of 12 young American soldiers who are deployed to Iraq in the summer of 2006. Rather than fight the enemy in combat, the men are unexpectedly assigned to guard the country's notorious leader - Saddam Hussein - in the months leading to his execution. Living alongside and caring for their "high-value detainee" in a former palace dubbed The Rock and regularly transporting him to his raucous trial, many of the men begin questioning some of their most basic assumptions.

Author was thorough in obtaining a wide array of related interviews and mostly let the reader come to her own conclusions. A hard ending for many involved. "Had he and I but met..."

Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.
