"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

I felt like the author left the story wanting.

Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Too slow moving over all. I got bored. I don’t see what all the fuss was about. Very detailed and slow.

The way each case is represented, I could not help but soak up lots of information whether I wanted to or not! I wish my old teachers had the knack Doug Preston has for presenting informative facts!

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

The Book Of Magic
Revisado: 10-07-23
Some of the stories were really attention grabbing, others I slept through more than once. It’s a toss up as a read unless you’re taking breaks between listening to the stories.

The Cabinet of Curiosities
Revisado: 03-19-23
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are an excellent writing team. Each on his own is amazing and together they are brilliant!
This novel is a good example: it hooks you in and carries you along like a storm swollen river. No matter which of their books you start with, you will most certainly be hooked for life. I know I was!

Another wonderful story involving the busy body Agatha Raisin and one of her male love interests. Will Agatha solve the crime and manage to hook herself a man in this who done it wonderfully performed by Penelope Keith? I recommend that you read it yourself to find the answer.

Preston and Child have outdone themselves!
Revisado: 01-20-23
This book is so good I don’t know where to begin.
All of my favorite characters from the Pendergast novels are here, each trying to do what they do best in this engrossing story.
The authors are at their best intertwining aspects of each subplot to keep you guessing!
I would recommend this book to everyone who has ever read a Preston and Child novel as well as fans of thrillers in general. I would like to give an example of other authors who write in this category, but there really is no comparison except for the greats; Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Michael Crichton, The Cabinet of Dr. Leng will hold your attention and keep you up all night… even after you finish.

“The Fog Ladies” is a winner!
Revisado: 02-01-21
The story grabs your attention from the very beginning. I found myself enthralled and unable to stop listening until the very end!
What on earth is happening to the residents of the apartment building Sarah has recently moved into? Is the stress of her new job making her lose her mind? A most intriguing mystery is taking place, and it’s up to Sarah to solve it. Wonderful characters abound as you fall in love with The Fog Ladies.
