Great sci-fi space war!

Revisado: 02-04-23

Very enjoyable listen. Luck Daniels breaths life into each character. All the space jargon leavened with humor.

Great continuation of the Lady Astronaut series

Revisado: 10-26-20

This is a great series very well performed by the author. It's an alternative history version of the exploration of space that was caused by the arrival of a meteor that will eventually kill all humans on earth. Very enjoyable characters among them Elma York and Nicole Wargin. This book "The Restless Moon" set in the early 1960's details the problems of going to space at a time when many on earth think they should concentrate efforts on earth alone. Nicole Wargin uses her experience as a spy during World War 2 to stop "Earth First" efforts to turn away from space. There's great tragedy and deceit. I hope very much the story continues in a 4th novel.

Worthy succesor to Tom Clancy!

Revisado: 02-24-20

Full of non stop action this novel is fantastic. Mark Vietor does a great job as narrator. The Russians develop a plan to take over a rare earth mine in Africa. They stir up trouble between China and Taiwan to draw attention to Asia. Then they do a lighting raid into Germany to destroy the NATO command that oversees Africa. They also destroy all communication between Europe and the United States. Combining submarines, A-10 Warthogs, M1A2 tanks, and a host of Russian military units the story is mesmerizing. I heartily recommend this novel for all those who enjoyed Tom Clancy's novels.

Nothing personal, I'm just stealing your kidney.

Revisado: 02-14-20

It's a good listen, the characters are interesting and the actors are excellent especially Thomas Lennon. I would caution you that it isn't very dark and a tad bit too sweet. A very pleasant way to pass the time. Excellent for listening while walking.

A true masterpiece of alternative history, I hope.

Revisado: 01-18-20

I hope it is alternative and never comes to ...death. The performances are excellent, the story unfolds a little scattershot but that emphasizes the total world war that it portrays. Max Brooks creates a world that is once horror and damned interesting. I listen to books while I walk for exercise. I found myself walking an extra two hours a day because I just had to continue on with the book. I would only stop because I realized I wanted to save the rest for the next day. Every one of the cast was brilliant, their voices imparting their part of the story as authentic and real. Highly recommend this to anyone with a sci-fi or horror interest.

Sunshine is a Queen!

Revisado: 01-15-20

This book centers on Sunshine who operates a junkyard in the desert of West Virginia after a nuclear war and invasion of aliens decimates the earth. She's just trying to get along in the wild and crazy dystopia. The book is filled with action mixed with wry humor. Kristine Hvam does a very good job as the narrator. I hope there is a sequel or this is a start of a series. Very enjoyable.

Excellent who-done-it

Revisado: 01-11-20

Story centers with two main characters, Special Agent Tatum Grey and Dr. Zoey Bentley. They are assigned a missing woman's case in Texas. Someone is burying women alive, recording it and streaming it live and delayed. A very good performance by Brittany Pressley who does an admirable job with a Boston Accent. The story quickly evolves into a murder mystery as another body turns up then more. The story evolves naturally and includes some past history for insights. There are humorous moments in the story as well as one of horror. It is well balanced and very easy to listen to. You don't need to listen to the first Zoe Bentley novel to enjoy this one. I do like a story that keeps you guessing to the last.

Once more Connelly creates magic.

Revisado: 12-30-19

I love the character of Harry Bosch and followed him all over LA and Hong Kong. Titus Welliver and Christine Lakin give an outstanding performance. Story is taunt and absorbing from the first sentence. I'm only sorry that it appears that there will be only a few cases left for Harry Bosch to investigate.

Captain Kyle Mercer is crazy.

Revisado: 12-30-19

This is the first in what is supposed to be a three book series. CID agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor are sent to Venezuela to track down and apprehend Captain Kyle Mercer who deserted a year ago while stationed in the Middle East. Two soldiers died while trying to find him. This had a few very good moments but the trouble is they were few and far apart. Scott Brick gave a very good performance. The book was 20 hours long and it could easily have been reduced to 15 hours by eliminating the almost constant introspection by the character of Scott Brodie. For me it killed the pacing of the story. Not to mention I guessed the outcome of the story about 10 hours in. I've read or listened to Nelson DeMille's books and enjoyed them all but this was a disappointment.
