Historia
Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters. The letters are all addressed to "My dear and unfortunate successor", and they plunge her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an inconceivable evil hidden in the depths of history.

I listen to this book every year
Revisado: 09-08-22
Worthy of a listen each year as Halloween approaches. The writing is exceptionally good and the performance lives up to it.

Entertaining but Dated
Revisado: 02-04-19
Listening to these stories is fun. The performances are excellent and there are indeed some interesting ideas presented, but the plot devices, character proclivities, and social norms portrayed haven't held up well against the passage of time. Nonetheless, the stories are good when taken for what they are: old sci-fi. Overall, I do recommend this compilation, but I'd also advise against judging it through a modern lens. Enjoy.

Historia
Jill Homer, a newspaper editor in Alaska, has an outlandish ambition: a 2,740-mile mountain bike race along the rugged Continental Divide. But Jill's dream starts to unravel the minute she sets it in motion. An accident during a race on the Iditarod Trail results in serious frostbite. As she struggles with painful recovery and uncertainties about leaving a good job to pursue a seemingly impossible pipe dream, her employer hands down an offer she can't refuse.

Kept my interest, but there are issues...
Revisado: 01-11-19
Decent story, although I grew tired of hearing: "...he said."
"...I said."
...he said."
"...I said."
...he said."
"...I said."
It made the writing seem a little lazy. In place of the word "said," I'd have been pleased to hear other words such as: exclaimed, cried, called out, interjected, chortled, etc.
As for the performance of the reader, I'm saddened to say it's the worst I've heard in an audiobook. I was able to tolerate it and finish the entire story, but the poorly-done male voice impressions and the numerous mispronunciations of place names (among other things) were sigh inducing at best, and served as a significant distraction.

Historia
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Meh...

Not at all what I expected, even after hearing a radio interview with the author that left me excited about the book. Wish I'd checked it out from the library instead of paying for it here.
