Historia
It’s the $10 million heist you’ve never heard of. In a matter of months, dozens of truckloads disappeared from American highways. But what were they carrying? Nuts. Marc Fennell takes you into a rabbit hole of crime syndicates, stolen identities and private investigators that will change the way you think about food forever. Eighty per cent of the world’s almonds are grown in the heart of California, but this journey will take you to Italy, the Spanish coast, deep under the earth and even into space.

The slivered almonds that garnish my salad creation may have a storied origin.
Can the way humans grow and supply food be sustained is questioned from many angles in this story. Well worth a listen if sustainability is part of your mindset

Historia
On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

Fascinating!

A look into the past at some things we take for granted or passé in our current times but in the Victorian era were considered new, exciting, provocative or even taboo.

Historia
This heartfelt Audible Original, narrated by Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker, follows three military veterans as they reclaim their most painful memories and turn them into comedy. Michael Garvey, Isaura Ramirez, and Patrick Harth left combat zones to challenge themselves in a stand-up comedy boot camp. As they learn to transform their raw emotions into cathartic experiences, they face the daunting challenge of trying to make an audience laugh with jokes about war, trauma, and mental health.

Laughter is the best medicine
Revisado: 11-06-18
A fascinating insight into how laughter truly is the best medicine. I'm sure others who've written reviews for this audio documentary have used the same saying, but this shows how looking into one's experiences, both bad and good, seeing the amusing side and telling others about it helps some to psychology heal.

Historia
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.

a Must for any Star Wars fan of the original movie
Revisado: 01-31-18
Set during episode 4, the book provides insight into the events of Star Wars from characters that might not have been the focus of the movie. Humorous, poignant and interesting the 40 stories provide a certain point of view that we may not have considered.

Timothy Zahn at his best.

Fans of the Heir to the Empire series will not be disappointed with this. It effectively reinserts Thrawn into official Star Wars canon while also describing his origins and cunning.

It rehashes the movie from Rey's point of view
Revisado: 08-15-16
Very little extra is learned about Rey in this book. What little is learned is very quickly spoiled so I won't mention it here. This book is actually meant for pre-school children and this fact is not mentioned in any of the descriptions at Audible.com, otherwise I would have given it a miss.
Also, I'm used to the high production values of sound effects and sound track included in other Star Wars audio books, but this is sorely missing from this title.
Only listen to it if you're a die hard Star Wars fan. I am, but was still disappointed.

In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic, former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself.

If you like the Clone Wars, thus is a must read
Revisado: 08-01-15
A story of falling, redemption and love, this tale fits nicely into existing Star Wars The Clone Wars canon. Although a little heavy on the romance, this is to be expected when the story is about Quinlan Voss and Assage Ventress working closely together.
