Historia
The universe is a dangerous place, a fact violently brought home to Frank Compton for perhaps the thousandth time when a stranger delivering a message dies right in front of him. An operative for Western Alliance Intelligence until his whistle-blowing activities got him fired, Compton is now being sought out by the Spiders, the robotic alien beings responsible for the upkeep and operation of the Quadrail transportation system, which connects the galaxy's twelve inhabited empires.

Love Zahn storytelling, Narrator is ok
Revisado: 03-08-25
What I liked about the story: everything. Zahn has a writing style that transports me into the world. It's easy for me to picture what's happening as the story unfolds.
What I like about the narrator: Collins spoke very crisply, so it was easy to understand the words. He changed his voice for different characters.
What I didn't like about the narrator: he's so intent on pronunciation that he reads a bit too slowly where I kept feeling like I needed to pull the story out of his mouth. I changed the speed to 1.2 (default is 1.0). It was a bit too fast, but better than too slow. In the default speed, the word 'sphere' sounded like spherrrre.
I've purchased Book #2 in this series.

Historia
There’s something out there: A juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it. Revan: Hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear.

Felt as though I was there, a part of the story. Revan is also a great tie into the video game.

Still a great story
Revisado: 03-14-24
Dana Stabenow is an incredible writer and Marguerite Gavin is an extraordinary narrator. No exaggeration. When I listen to the Kate Shugak series, I often feel like I’m in the kitchen with Kate cooking Moose Stew, or walking along beside her in the Park, trying to understand the why’s and how’s of a murder, all under the watchful eye of her side-kick and friend, the 1/2 wolf named Mutt.
This is probably my 4th walk-through of this series and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
Many thanks to Dana Stabenow for sharing her gift of writing and to Marguerite Gavin’s story-telling finesse.

Johnson and Guidall strike again!
Revisado: 09-18-23
I vacillate between listening for hours, enraptured by Longmire and crew, to shutting off the audiobook because I don’t want to reach the end. Mr. Johnson never disappoints with his writing. As I listen to the story, I feel as I’m there IN the story, watching it unfold. Mr. Guidall brings all the characters to life. Every. Single. Time.
Longmire series is a joy to read (or listen to).

Narrator is all wrong
Revisado: 07-14-20
I’m getting ready to return this book and I’ll get the print version from somewhere else. The narrator was awful. It sounded like she was hiding an Irish accent and I couldn’t distinguish one person from the next.

Just what I needed
Revisado: 03-09-19
Today, I was thinking how tired I am of books and other media having storylines where bad things happen to good people and good things happen to the bad. I want to read (or listen) to stories where good people prevail, have integrity, and a dash of a great sense of humor. I want to walk away with a smile on my face and the anticipation of the next story in the series.
The first author that met these expectations was Tony Hillerman with his characters, Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. Second, was Robert B. Parker and his character, Spenser. Now, Craig Johnson with Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear.
Thank you Mr. Johnson for creating characters and stories that transports me, where I find I’m walking next to Sheriff Longmire and seeing Wyoming through his eyes.
An avid reader and fan.
Edit: George Guidall is also a favorite narrator. I feel he breathes life into Sheriff Longmire.

A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past the first chapter of this audiobook because the narrator was almost monotone in her performance.

Historia
It's a crisp, snowless October in The Park. The root cellar is full, the cordwood is stacked, the oil drums are filled and there’s a freshly-butchered moose in her cache, but Kate Shugak must leave her cabin and head into the chaos of Anchorage, where the Alaska Federation of Natives’ annual convention is being held. Why? Because board members of the Niniltna Native Association have been dying...board members who just happened to oppose a lucrative new development project.

Revisado: 05-09-15
This must be my 10th time reading/listening to Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series and as soon as I'm through, I'll start my 10th time on the Liam Campbell series.
Ms. Stabenow is an incredible storyteller, and in her writing, I find myself standing next to Kate as the story unfolds. I'm immersed into a rich culture, I can see Kate's determination to find the truth, and I find that even after the 10th time, I can't stop reading or listening to the audiobook until the story is finished.
Thank you Ms. Stabenow!
