When Aydiin shirks his duties to search for ancient ruins in the Soulless Desert, he unleashes the power left behind by a god over a thousand years ago. Upon his return home, he is faced with the dual threat of assassins around every corner and an arranged marriage. Intent to flee from both, he crosses the sea in search of ancient knowledge. Instead of answers, he finds unexpected love and even more questions. It is the Rise of the Forgotten Sun. It is the beginning of the end.

Probably Harrison’s Worst Book
Revisado: 08-19-22
This probably Harrison’s worst book. The story doesn’t really make any sense, and he recycled many of the lines from other books. The narration is very sloppy. He or the production team were lazy to find out how to properly pronounce the names of places in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It was hard to listen to.

Historia
In this sequel to Harrison's True North, Donald Burkett, a middle-aged Chippewa-Finnish man, is dying of Lou Gehrig's disease. While his wife, Cynthia, transcribes, Donald begins dictating his family history for the benefit of their children, stories that he never before has shared. As old crimes, dreams, wounds, and sacred moments are revived for the members of Donald's family, each is affected in different and profound ways.

Lazy Narrators
Revisado: 08-19-22
This is not Harrison’s best work, but half of the narrators were too lazy to find out how to properly pronounce the names of places in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Please record more Henryk Sienkiewicz books! Some my find this kind of children’s adventure book a little outdated, but it is a lot of fun. It is narrated very well, and a pleasure to listen to.

Historia
American children today spend 90 percent less time playing outdoors than their parents did; instead they spend an average of seven hours a day interacting with a screen. Scott Sampson asserts that not only does exposure to nature help relieve stress, depression, and attention deficits, but it also reduces bullying and helps boost academic scores. Even more important are the long-term benefits linked to cognitive, emotional, and moral development.

Best book of its kind
Revisado: 07-28-18
I have read a number of books about the importants of raising children with a connection to the natural word. This one is probably the best. Dr Scott (known to many parents and children from PBS’ Dinosaur Train) lays out the problems, gives actionable solutions then gives you reference if you want to do more reading on any particular idea. Well done.

A Solid Start To A Potentially Great Series

I can't wait for the next!
Revisado: 08-02-16
This is a wonderful first book. O'Connor is a great writer; the world is interesting, the characters are complex, and he leaves you wanting more. I have read 50 books so far this year (Jan. 1 to Aug. 1) and I would put this in my top 10.
Mikael Naramore is also a top notch narrator.

Not the Jake Sullivan I Love
Revisado: 06-12-16
So for I have never given a Grimnoir Chronicles story less than 5 stars, but the Jake Sullivan in this book sounded more like a Dashiell Hammett character than the one Larry Correia has been writing about. I work in Detroit, love Correia, and even like radio drama's so I had great hope for this book, but it is probably one of the worst books that I have listened to.

Historia
In the follow up to his "vivid, ardent, and engaging" John Donne: The Reformed Soul (New York Review of Books), John Stubbs finds his next subject in the turbulent period of the English Civil War. With a centuries-old conflict between the monarchy and Parliament threatening to explode, a group of poets known as Cavaliers emerged to defend the king against the Protestant reformers and, in doing so, defined an artistic movement exemplified by lines such as Robert Herrick's "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

Good book, so-so narrator
Revisado: 12-31-14
This is a very academic book and great if you are looking for more information about the social context of the Caviler Poet and the world they lived. It points out many of the inconsistency in what many of us were taught in survey classes. My only complaint is that the narrator, John Lee, reads this book in a really odd cadence. It was very distracting, and not his best work, but I am glad that I stuck with it and listened to the end.

Historia
Who was Robin Hood? Throughout history the figures of the hooded man of Sherwood Forest and his band of outlaws have transfixed readers, listeners, and viewers; but where does the myth come from? The story appeared out of the legend of the Green man, but found its location during the reign of Richard I, the Lionheart, who was away from England fighting in the crusades. In his absence, his brother John laid waste to the country. But does this tell the full story?

For the love of Robin
Revisado: 11-21-14
This is a good book, and it was well read. It does lean more to the scholarly side that the action, adventure so be warned. Nigel Cawthowne does a great job exploring both the origins of the legend of Robin Hood and looking at how the legend has changed over time. While he doesn't pin down the “real” Robin Hood, I did find it interesting to find out how many parts of the legend can be tied to historical events and people.

Historia
In our culture, artistic genius and poverty seem inevitably linked, but does it have to be that way? Jim Henson didn’t think so. An iconic creator and savvy businessman, Henson is a model for artists everywhere: Without sacrificing his creative vision, Henson built an empire of lovable Muppets that continues to educate and inspire - and a business that was worth $150 million at the time of his death. How did he ever pull it off? And how can other creators follow in his path?

Great book for Artists!
Revisado: 10-29-14
First off I am a lover of all things Jim Henson, so I might be a little biased, but I think Elizabeth Hyde Stevens does a wonderful job breaking down what did and didn't work with Henson Studios. It does seem possible to make art and money without feeling guilty.
