Historia
In 1912, scientist Marie Curie spent two months on the British seaside at the home of Hertha Ayrton, an accomplished mathematician, inventor, and suffragette. At the time, Curie was in the throes of a scandal in France over her affair with Paul Langevin, which threatened to overshadow the accomplishment of her second Nobel Prize. Performed by Kate Mulgrew and Francesca Faridany at the Minetta Lane Theatre, this play by Lauren Gunderson is an ode to two remarkable women.

Best Audible Original I've heard yet.
Revisado: 04-03-20
Well performed and incredibly engaging. Humor, loss, and a new perspective on a historical figure everyone's heard of, but few know.

A somewhat abrupt ending, but an enjoyable short story nonetheless. Easy listening and a generally feel-good story

Historia
Dale Maharidge’s father, like many World War II veterans, never talked about “the good war”. There was just one clue to his dad’s experience as a US Marine - a portrait with a close friend that hung permanently in their home. In The Dead Drink First, Dale, now a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recounts his 18-year quest to find and repatriate the missing remains of his dad’s buddy, Herman Walter Mulligan, 73 years after he was killed in action.

Fun

This was a fun story geared towards the younger crowd. Reminded me of the likes of Encyclopedia Brown, Cam Jansen, etc. Cartoonish villains and just an enjoyable time watching them fall

Historia
Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Zachary Quinto has an amazing narration voice, and the story was decent enough. Reminded me of the Scythe books. Very pleasantly surprised.

Historia
Sakina's Restaurant breathes new life into an age old story: the emotive tale of an immigrant coming to New York in pursuit of the American dream. Actor, comedian, and writer Aasif Mandvi originally performed his Obie Award-winning solo show off-Broadway 20 years ago. This past October, the iconic play was reimagined and produced by Audible for a limited run at Minetta Lane Theatre in the West Village of Manhattan. Recorded for an Audible-exclusive audience, listeners can forgo the price of admission and embark on the cross-cultural journey with Mandvi.

Revisado: 05-06-19
Performance was fine, but I have no idea what story I was supposed to get from this. There was no flow at all. It was like listening to someone else on the phone, so you only here half of a conversation.
Sure, you can follow it, but there's a whole lot of context missing

Marsters is an amazing narrator. Different voices for different characters, and proper inflections when Harry unleashes the snark.

Decent, but Aleron Kong kind of annoys me
Revisado: 01-10-19
These books are entertaining enough and certainly worth a listen but Aleron Kong's self-proclaimed title of "The father of American LitRPG" just comes across as pretentious and self-serving. These aren't going to be considered high literature or anything classic, just fun novels for the masses to enjoy. I try to separate the author and their work most of the time, but it's really hard in this instance since Kong seems so intent on marketing himself that way.
I found this series while waiting for the next book in the Ascend Online series, and would recommend those to anyone who enjoys these books.

Not bad, but nothing great
Revisado: 12-26-18
It's a fairly entertaining tale, albeit simple, The narrator was fantastic, but the main character is frankly kind of dumb. I'll probably listen to the rest of the series and see where it goes.
I honestly was expecting better from someone who calls himself the "Father of American LitRPG."

Good history, decent stories
Revisado: 04-17-18
I loved how deep this book dove into the rise of facism, particularly how it did have adherants in England and the U.S. It's something many people don't think about.
The only criticism I have is there might be a bit too much detail on intimate lives.
