Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Gripping and believable
Revisado: 11-19-15
What did you love best about The Martian?
The protagonist reacted realistically to his setbacks and successes. He was resourceful, analytical and dogged.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Martian?
His first contact with another human.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
He played the different characters very well. His articulation of the Indian, the Asian and the mouthy PR director brought them to life.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. In fact, I listened to it all the way through three times in one week.

Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads solitary outcasts through hostile territory to escape the vengeance of their enemies. But the shaded forest paths her Seneca ancestors might have followed on such missions have all been converted to superhighways, and now the safest way stations are crowded urban buildings that offer the camouflage of anonymity. Still, the supply of runaways - and the need for a woman who will take great risks to save them - have never been greater.

Exciting and memorable heroine
Revisado: 11-02-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It introduces a principled character ready to die for her cause. It ties her mission to that of her Seneca ancestors. It has believable villains and victims. The plot develops in satisfyingly unpredictable ways.
What other book might you compare Vanishing Act to and why?
Nevada Barr's The Rope. The heroine exerts her will to overcome her own weakness. She drives herself to secure safety for others.
What does Joyce Bean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her interpretation of the characters. The flexibility of an audiobook to go anywhere while listening.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Jane Whitefield will kill you to save your life.
Any additional comments?
I read this book a number of years ago and have been looking for it and others in the series. I looked under mysteries, native American fiction, women detectives, Native Women fiction. Finally I found it with the help of a librarian when I remembered Perry as the name of the author, and Jane as the character. It should be indexed in more ways to help potential readers.

Rich portrayal of character & plot
Revisado: 11-01-15
What made the experience of listening to These Three Remain the most enjoyable?
George Holmes dramatized the characters fluently.
What other book might you compare These Three Remain to and why?
The Count of Monte Cristo. It keeps action moving while exploring the motives of characters. It resolves multiple plots deftly.
Which character – as performed by George Holmes – was your favorite?
Darcy
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Darcy and Georgiana's mutual recognition of their pride and what it cost them in terms of relationships.
Any additional comments?
The book explains the match between Elizabeth and Darcy more thoroughly than Pride and Prejudice, written from Elizabeth's perspective.
