Historia
Three time-traveling historians are visiting World War II England: Michael Davies, intent on observing heroism during the Miracle of Dunkirk; Merope Ward, studying children evacuated from London; and Polly Churchill, posing as a shopgirl in the middle of the Blitz. But when the three become unexpectedly trapped in 1940, they struggle not only to find their way home but to survive as Hitler's bombers attempt to pummel London into submission.

How the storyline was woven together so well.

The interpersonal relationships seemed so real. A great story and great science fiction all wrapped together.

Historia
The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

Historia
The Chinese super-AI had achieved its master plan—an autonomous robotic army, air force, and navy. As President Yao and the People's Liberation Army faced defeat on the battlefield, full command of the PLA was handed over to Jade Dragon, which says it can slay the enemies of China to usher in a new dawn of global Chinese hegemony for the 21st century. The robots were coming… With the Terracotta Killers walking the land, Shadow Dragons and Dark Swords prowling the skies, and Sea Dragons roaming the Yellow Sea, a dystopian science fiction nightmare had become real.

The best saved for the last.
Revisado: 02-11-24
This volume was an excellent listen, especially compared to volume 7. I do appreciate that the story was wrapped up and finished. I'm glad I won't have to wait on “The Monroe Doctrine - The Rest Of The Story” series to see how things end. This volume was well written, and the pace proceeded quickly. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
Amelia Charron is a neuroscientist researching brain disorders. She routinely uses astonishing mind-linking technology that allows her to enter the dream world of patients. Each night, Amelia acts as a guide through the bizarre wonderland of the mind-an assisted lucid dream. It's a technique that reroutes neural pathways to heal the brain, but it's not without psychological dangers for both the patient and the guide. Orlando Kwon will do anything to keep the frightening voices at bay. Alien voices, he's sure, but he has no idea what they are saying.

Hard science aspects of the story
Revisado: 12-06-23
I enjoy the character development of the two main characters. Plus the overall positive outlook of the story.

Pretty good young adult story. The story is a bit over the top, but it has excellent character development. I grew attached to the characters as the story progressed. Mbot was hilarious.

Just not good science fiction
Revisado: 11-14-23
The narrator was horrible. Somehow, she always sounded condescending to me or thought I wasn't bright enough to understand the poor science in the story. The story lacked substance. I couldn't finish the book; it was so bad. I am a long-time Audible listener, and this ranks in the bottom ten percent of the books I've heard.

A fun, yet unrealistic, listen.
Revisado: 06-25-23
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The science is way off and not accurate often, but sounds plausible. The stereotyping in the story reads as if the story was written in the 1950’s, not the 2000. Reminds me of Heinlein at times. Bottom line is I recommend it.

Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission, Kin has kept his past hidden from everyone around him, despite the increasing blackouts and memory loss affecting his time-traveler’s brain.

Great Time Travel Story
Revisado: 02-28-23
One of the best time travel stories I've read. Rather than focusing on the technology of time travel and the possible paradoxes the story presented was logical and understandable with a focus on relationships and emotions. Highly recommend this as a great listen.

Historia
An alien ship rests over Water Island. For five years, the people of the US Virgin Islands have lived with the Ynaa, a race of super-advanced aliens on a research mission they will not fully disclose. They are benevolent in many ways but meet any act of aggression with disproportional wrath. This has led to a strained relationship between the Ynaa and the local Virgin Islanders, and a peace that cannot last.

No impact to this novel. Kept wondering rid it would improve. Hoping for a strong ending. Ended up disappointed.
