Historia
Have you ever seen a planet invaded by rampaging space mutants from another dimension or Nazi dinosaurs from the future? Don't let this happen to you! Rifts happen, so you should be ready when universes collide. A policy with Stranger & Stranger can cover all of your interdimensional insurance needs. Rated "Number One in Customer Satisfaction" for three years running, no claim is too big or too weird for Tom Stranger to handle.

The most AWESOME Insurance Agent ever!
Revisado: 06-07-16
I give Tom Stranger an 11 on a customer satisfaction scale of 1 to 10.
I have not laughed so hard in a long time! I had to listen to it again because I was laughing so much!
Imagine Hitchhikers Guide, meets lots of Guns, evil aliens, demonic hordes, Nazi T-Rex's, crazy random pop culture references, cool bow ties, and total customer service satisfaction.

A Fascinating account of the Colonial British Empire
Revisado: 06-02-15
Professor Allitt gives a broad, detailed account of the rise and decline of the British Empire. Though not strictly chronological, his lectures encompass the history backgrounds of many of the colonial lands, people's, and outstanding individuals and their contributions to the Empire.

Historia
Starting with the premise that all civilizations owe their origins to warmaking, Keegan probes the meanings, motivations, and methods underlying war in different societies over the course of more than two thousand years. Following the progress of human aggression in its full historical sweep, from the strangely ritualistic combat of Stone Age peoples to the warfare of mass destruction in the present age, his illuminating and lively narrative gives us all the world's great warrior cultures.

Interesting but not Outstanding
Revisado: 03-31-15
Keegan's History of Warfare takes broad approach to the subject of warfare. Keegan spends too much time at the beginning of the book addressing the origins of man and his psychological makeup in regards to war. While admittedly it is a part, Keegan takes this tangent, and others away from the main point of the narrative. I found myself struggling to find cohesiveness until half way through the book when Keegan regains his footing. It was only by the excellent performance of the narrator that I was able to finish the novel.

Historia
Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world....

Sanderson Delivers in Alloy
Revisado: 02-09-15
Michael Kramer gives an awesome performance reading Brandon Sanderson's "The Alloy of Law". A quick jaunt into the Mistborn universe, Alloy of Law is a fast paced adventure in the style of a turn of the century western, and even a train robbery. Top marks for Sanderson and Kramer. Fun to listen to even the third or forth time.

Historia
Medicine Creek, Kansas, has been slowly dying for the last century. In a town where nothing changes, the community is terrified after a series of grisly murders takes place. Even more alarming, the bodies are displayed in bizarre tableaus. With the entire town in shock, FBI Agent Pendergast arrives from New Orleans to investigate. From the fields to the local caves, Pendergast discovers the remnants of a Prohibition-era moonshine operation and the truth behind one of the town's greatest mysteries.

Preston and Child finally hook my wife.
Revisado: 08-25-04
I have been reading the Preston/Child novels for years. The "vacationing" Pendergast helps solve a strange series of murders in rural Kansas. Rene Auberjonois portrays Pendergast as I have always seen him in my mind's eye. A quick pace helps this adaption feel like a modern suspence movie. An UNABRIDGED version would get 5 stars, and give the listeners a better understanding of the events as they unfold. This was one of my first audible downloads. On a recent drive to L.A. from Northern California, my wife listened to this audio book, loved it, and is now reading all of the Preston and Child books (she usually reads Grisham). She has not been able to put their books down since!
