Ever wonder what it would be like if Moonfall and World War Z had a baby and dipped it in fondue?

Revisado: 04-06-25

I never wondered this, but I’m so glad I listened to it. The short story style perspectives of the world dealing with a new catastrophe brought me warm memories of when I read world war z. I really enjoyed the style and it worked great with the subject matter.

My wife asked me how I enjoyed it and I told her it was weird. Weird for a Scalzi book, and that is really saying something. I can’t wait to start this book over again so I can catch the little things I missed on my first time through.

I laughed along with the absurdity just to then be forced to reflect on how the world reacted and looked back at the events 1, 10, and 50 years in the future. Damn you for the reality gut punch that comes from all good sci-fi!

Never thought I’d see “Drew Hayes” and “family friendly together

Revisado: 09-03-24

This book is great. I had a blast listening to it and can’t wait for my 10 year old son to read or listen to it once he gets home from school today.

In true Drew fashion it takes place in an interesting world that I am now dying to learn more about.

Great story telling and made me crave a good craft beer

Revisado: 02-26-24

I was genuinely upset when this book ended. Don’t get me wrong, the story and ending were great, I was just so immersed in the story that being jarred back to reality suuuucked.

I usually am just emotionally invested in one or two characters in a book, so it was a surprise to want to know more about everyone and crave back stories. I even found myself wondering about backgrounds of side characters that had little to do with the overall story. Wanting them to get their afterlives together and enjoy their time. You can continue growth in death!

I am pumped for the second book to come out in the fall of ‘24.

Fun and witty start to a new series

Revisado: 04-27-23

I have loved every Alexander C Kane book so to date, so I came into this book with very high expectations. It still blew me away with how clever and funny the book was. Alexander has this amazing way of writing side characters that gets me so engaged that my mind wanders thinking about what their back stories must be, causing me to miss parts of the actual story and have to rewind a minute or so. I highly suggest getting this fun Urban Fantasy book, and I can’t wait for the next one!


However, my wife was annoyed by how much I was laughing out loud this morning while she was trying to work.

Solid prequel

Revisado: 04-20-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I enjoyed the diary style telling of this story, and the origins of world building. The story was a little fast paced and vague, but that worked with the diary style from a teenagers point of view.

I am generally an audio only person, but am getting this series on kindle because I really want to see where this world takes me.

Whacky crime solving shenanigans

Revisado: 12-30-22

How did I miss this release by over a month? I have been dying for a sequel to the Authorities and this in no way disappoints. The whole cast is back with all of their quirky amazingness.

I love that Rutherford has slightly more accepted his job, and tries his best to play the part he was hired to do.

My one complaint is that Scott does not have coffee mugs for sale I want to drink from the same one I Rutherford has.

The story keeps building

Revisado: 09-11-22

I am in love with this series! I am so happy I got to find out what Cori is, and to watch her magic grow. I am completely pulled in by this series and am devouring it at the rate of a book a day.

Great take on magic

Revisado: 09-10-22

I loved the world Mel built in this book. Magic has interesting rules that really pull you into the story. I am buying the second book as soon as I submit this review.

The pop song we all need

Revisado: 03-19-22

Scalzi never disappoints, and this book is no acceptation. The world has been a horrible place the last few years, but at least we haven’t had a Kaiju breech into our existence. At this point that wouldn’t surprise me at all. I highly recommend getting this book to help you leave behind our current existence and jump into a world with a few more problems, but is also as entertaining and funny as watching Mr Scalzi do his Kermit the frog impersonation in person.

Great continuation!

Revisado: 03-10-21

This series never disappoints. Faced paced action with fun characters and witty banter.

I’m not one for spoilers, so I am going to vague the hell out of this. I loved the chess match scene, and hope there is more to come from it in the next book.

Time to listen to the book again and try and catch more of the Easter eggs always hidden in this series!
