Historia
Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

good story
Revisado: 06-30-22
I decided to try it because of the series he did on Darth bane. i found it interesting though at times I found my mind wandering because of the narrator's bland performance. a good story regardless.

in the movies tarkin was depicted as a cold monster. it was interesting hearing his past and motivations. I enjoyed the interactions between him and Darth Vader. a good story and well read.

Historia
The beloved King Ik is dead, and there was barely time to check his pulse before the royal throne was supporting the suspiciously shapely backside of an impostor pretending to be Ik's beautiful, long-lost daughter. With the land's heroic hunks busy drooling all over themselves, there's only one man left who can save the kingdom of Jenair. His name is Dungar Loloth, a rural blacksmith turned innkeeper, a surly hermit, and an all-around nobody oozing toward middle age, compensating for a lack of height, looks, charm, and tact with guts and an attitude.

really like this book and narrator.

the book was good. it's funny and there's plenty of action. some of the characters were quite interesting. The puns remind me of the xanth series by pierce anthony. I'll try another by the same author for certain.

Historia
Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates.

much better than I expected
Revisado: 10-15-20
based on the movie which is entertaining but kind of corny. I didn't expect much from the book. it seems the creative changes they made to the movie dumbed down the experience.
the author has a tendency to ramble but it kept me interested.

Historia
Venture, a direct rival to the Weyland-Yutani corporation, will accept any risk to crush the competition. Thus, when a corporate spy "acquires" a bizarre, leathery egg from a hijacked vessel, she takes it directly to the Venture testing facility on Jericho 3. Though unaware of the danger it poses, the scientists there recognize their prize's immeasurable value. Early tests reveal little, however, and they come to an inevitable conclusion. They need a human test subject.... Enter Zula Hendricks.

a tale that covers both sides
Revisado: 10-12-20
unlike every other alien book that I've listened to on audible this book actually gives you some insight into the drive of the alien.
the story includes a spy, a mad scientist, robots, a disabled marine turned private security,and of course a xenomorph.
introducing a company other than Waylon Yutani but just as dumb in their greedy pursuit of profit.
experiments are conducted... the xenomorph escapes... a bunch of people die. you know the deal is you read alien books but this one delves a little into the primitive mind of the monster.
It also is convincing at simulating the feeling of being taken and used as an incubator that cannot live. the book really tries to capture the fear of being infected.

a bit tame for an alien story but good.

the characters were good. the narration was ok. the narrator's attempts to change accents had me confused at times. eventually I let it go.
I was impressed by the twists in the story but expected more action.

Historia
Tarzan had renounced his right to the woman he loved, and civilization held no pleasure for him. After a brief and harrowing period among men, he turned back to the African jungle where he had grown to manhood. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, left over from fabled Atlantis. It was a city of hideous men - and of beautiful, savage women, over whom reigned La, high priestess of the Flaming God. Its altars were stained with the blood of many sacrifices. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan led a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar.

Historia
Deep in the heart of the Congo a small baby is adopted by Kala, a fierce anthropoid ape of the tribe of Kerchak. Here, protected by his savage foster mother, Tarzan (for so she named him) learned the secrets of jungle life - how to talk with all animals, how to move like a shadow, how to swing freely through the teeming forest, how to fight barehanded the great carnivores. Here he acquired the strength and agility of his guardian apes, and the same keen sense of smell and sound that all wild creatures need to protect themselves.

one of my favorite books
Revisado: 09-26-20
more fantasy than science fiction. the book unlike the movies describes the Savage jungle that Tarzan was born into.
well into his adulthood he encounters a party that are abandoned on the beach and take resident in his father's home.
his father and mother were also abandoned on the beach. he doesn't know that he's a white man. his mother kala told him that his father was a hairless ape.
Tarzan teaches himself to read and write but doesn't know how to speak the languages of men. he later rescues a Frenchman who teaches him to speak in French and then later English.
a good book and a good narration.

Historia
With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback - the loss of the Aliens they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the Company has risen to the top of the food chain. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place: the facility known as "The Cold Forge". Remote station RB-232 has become their greatest asset in weaponizing the Xenomorphs. However, when Dorian Sudler is sent to RB-232 to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard - someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests.

Riveting story
Revisado: 09-23-20
On a science space station once again experiments are being done on the xenomorphs.
In route is a man whose job is to cut budgets, slash departments, and fire people.
A loose computer virus throws the station into chaos. The auditor loses his marbles and begins to literally kill his employees.
The characters are well developed. The audio book lacks background sounds but the narrator's performance is excellent.

one of the best performances I've heard
Revisado: 09-23-20
featuring music,sound, and multiple actors it's a great performance. Waylen yutani however you spell it once again is trying to get a sample of xenomorphs. once again company policy says humans are expendable. they kidnap a man who survived an encounter with them. tell him he's a descendant of Ripley and that he owes money on her behalf.
he's thrusted in with a bunch of Marines who are sent uninformed to capture one of the deadliest aliens in the universe. an added twist is that they are returning to a planet where Ripley previously was and caused considerable damage.
it's a great performance and I imagine it's a good book to read also.
