Historia
For eight years, Commodore Honor Harrington was in the forefront of the battle between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the powerful People's Republic of Haven. Then she was captured and publicly executed. But Honor is far from dead, what's more, she's going home and taking her people with her.

Really enjoyable listen
Revisado: 11-04-20
Ya, its long. As a few other reviewers have mentioned there are a lot of details, long conversations and internal thoughts of these characters that take a lot of time between action segments. But because of that, the characters are very well developed and understood. I like the detailed character development in stories, and with so many people in the Harrington epic it does fill a lot of the book; but I can feel I know the characters and understand their lives. Really a good listen, and a good story.

Historia
Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Historia
Things were starting to look up for Magelord Minalan the Spellmonger: The magic mountain in his domain not only made him a wealthy man and the most powerful mage in history, it also produced a lode of magical gemstones with unique properties - properties the Alka Alon, the masters of magic on Callidore, are fascinated by. When Minalan gets his chance to trade some of his magic rocks for irionite, he finds himself in a position to raise hundreds more magi with the stones...making them High Magi.

Surprising, delightful,, awesome story continues
Revisado: 12-05-18
Terry Mancour continues to surprise and delight me with truly unexpected twists, just when you think you know where the story will go, it takes a unexpected but believable and well thought out twist. Characters are well developed, with honest and believable feelings and face issues I can relate to well. The choice of language makes the story feel real, as I found from page 1 of book 1, each word seems perfectly chosen. All this brought to life by John Lee who performs the story with great expression and enthusiasm.

Historia
Opposites attack! When the Magelord Minalan the Spellmonger’s two apprentices, Tyndal and Rondal, were knighted after the battle of Timberwatch, they were dubbed Knights Magi: A new class of nobility for distinguished High Magi. Designed to combine the pursuit of arcane knowledge with the noble aspirations of chivalry, it elevated them above common warmage...in theory. The problem was they had no idea how to be a Knight Mage...because no one had ever been one before.

A year had passed since Ben Holiday bought the Magic Kingdom from the wizard Meeks, who had set a series of pitfalls against him. Ben survived, by the aid of three loyal friends: Questor Thews, an ill-trained wizard; Abernathy, a talking dog, the Court Scribe; and the lovely Willow, who sometimes had to be a tree.

Bad version of great audiobook
Revisado: 10-31-18
I loved this story when I first bought it. While that was 10 years ago, when I signed up for audible I was promised (still have the e-mail) that titles could be re-listened to forever. All seemed true, book 1 worked fine, but this and the next 2 had "database error" in place of a download. To Audibles credit they gave me credits for the 3 failed files, so I could buy the current versions. I can't stand the new narrating / performance. Its hard to here, and very depressing. Really ruined the story. I'll be on the lookout for the Cameron Beierly read version published in the books in motion studios. I will immediately download all my titles and may consider going back to physical media instead of Audible - TBD.

Historia
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Historia
Psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware confronts a killer who takes as much pleasure in matching wits with the police as in robbing human life. A diplomat's retarded daughter is murdered on a school field trip. The girl's father denies the possibility of a political motive, leaving LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his longtime friend, Alex Delaware, stymied. When another killing occurs, Alex finds himself ensnared in one of the most menacing cases of his career.

Enjoyable
Revisado: 06-10-14
What made the experience of listening to Survival of the Fittest the most enjoyable?
Not the best of Kellerman's work, but a good part of Alex's story. As always, reading by Mr. Adams is top notch. I enjoyed it, I think I may be a bit spoiled by some of the others in the series. Dont miss it if you like the series; but dont judge the series by this story.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
A bit predictable, no real surprises. An attempt at suspense but it lacked something many of Kellerman's others have.
Have you listened to any of Alexander Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not the star of the series, but not bad either.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not quite all of it; but I did look forward to getting back to it.

In this prequel to The Sword of Shannara, in which many details of the Four Lands' history are revealed, Druids, horrified by the misuse of magic, have eschewed it in favor of science. But Bremen the Druid studies magic, and becomes an outcast on its account. Bremen discovers that an invincible army of trolls are fast conquering all that lay to their south. Before them come the Nazgul-like Skull Bearers, disfigured and transformed Druids who have fallen prey to the dark arts.

Excelent Addition to the series

I don't find the detailed descriptions and background uninteresting as others have reviewed, it helps make a full bodied story. Characters are well developed, and the story fits nicely as a prequel to the series. Listening was a true pleasure.

Well worth a listen. Definitly get the unabridged version (too bad audible doesn't have the 2nd book unabridged, had to order it elsewhere, perhaps this has been fixed by the time you read this). Well developed characters, a good plot with lots of detail and surprises. One of my favorites, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
