This is a tale about the slowly derailing Liam, a belter miner, dreaming of striking gold and sticking it up every naysayers nose. Who doesn't want that, right? Cleverly written and narrated with an animated tone and dialogue, done well by the author. We get to listen as the main character seesaws from stable to unstable, driving the narrative forward, making this listener eager to know what happens next. This is a punchy, soliloquised tale of one man's consuming determination, and his humbling damnation.

A gripping and engrossing story that draws you in from the get-go. The visceral imagery created by Lonnie Busch, conveyed beautifully by Patricia Shade's narration is a treat! With well-rounded characters, one can't help but get drawn into their lives and their fates. Revolving around a post pandemic world we are now all too familiar with, throw in alien encounters, and people desperate to retain their humanity, all combines for an immersive, moving tale. A thrilling, science fiction mystery you can sink you teeth into.

Descendant Machine was a totally immersive, fast-paced, and character-driven science fiction space opera ride. Humans and Jzat co-exist in this epic story set in the Continuance universe. It finds the protagonist, Nicola Malfada, on a dangerous mission--which at first seems straightforwards, but in the end, not so much. Life changing decisions must be made, but it all came to a satisfying conclusion.
I chose the audiobook version for convenience, but wishing now I'd gotten the Kindle version. Easily remedied. Narrator Rebecca Norfolk did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life, if only by changing the pitch of her voice. Overall, it was a thrilling ride!

Written by Ant Richards and narrated by Ant Richards, along with the talented voices of Laura Piñero and Carmen Olarte. Because he knows the story and the general vibe, it's always a treat to see how the author conveys the story in his own voice. In this story, we follow the life of a teenaged Chris, holidaying in Spain with his father. It's a sort of coming of age, rites of passage, and the unconditional love between father and son, or rather, the realisation of what it means to have that sort of love and connection. Brilliantly read, with an easy background ambient noise that only lends to the overall feel of the story. Mr. Richards has an incredible reading voice, perfect for narrations. I look forward to hearing more stories read by him.

I'm not a big audiobook listener, mostly because I don't find them/narrators very engaging or voices suitable to the content of the books. But I was pleasantly surprised with this one, and it was like listening to those old radio shows with the full sound effects, music, even different voice changes and additional narrators for characters. It's great that the author himself reads the book, so he knew the story intimately (he has a great voice!) and knew exactly how to bring the character to life. I've read the short story before, but I thought I'd give the audio version a try, and I must say, it was an enjoyable, engaging experience. I would definitely listen to more from this narrator and writer.
