Historia
The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us - and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face.

Great ideas, uneven narration
- De depthpsychologist en 12-09-20
Lots of ideas, many don't pan out
Revisado: 06-03-22
The book has loads of cool ideas but so many of them get axed off before they're allowed to develop and some are literally killed off.
The stuff that touches on ideas to improve the world are neat but then so much of the book just revolves about non-interesting things. What bothered me was there were plenty of interesting things teed up but then just abandoned.

Got this performance on a recommendation from a friend and if it hadn't been free, I'd have asked for a refund. Baldwin's performance is fine, but the story... I'm amazed this got published.

Revisado: 02-27-18
Altered Carbon was very good so I went into this one for more of the same, but, it simply wasn't. This was an okay book, don't get me wrong, but that's it. It felt predictable and Kovacs didn't feel consistent, like this was originally a story meant for a different character, and then Kovacs got shoehorned in

Historia
United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Great installment
Revisado: 02-15-18
As always, Skippy and Joe go about their merry business and naturally find themselves in all sorts of trouble. The narration is as before absolutely top notch and I got through the book real quick, indicating just how much fun it was. Highly recommend it, can't wait to listen to the next one.

Historia
Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumers' identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand. In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge - and he teaches you "the art of invisibility".

I'd just gone through the Bobiverse books so it felt like I was getting all these lessons from Bob, which was fun. Narration was great. As for the contents, super interesting for anyone interested in cyber security or someone who wants/needs to be anonymous online. Mitnik clearly knows his stuff

Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

Fine, but not as good
Revisado: 09-03-17
Yahtzee is always a good narrator, but this just wasn't as much fun as Mogworld or Jam. Or maybe I've just been spoiled by The Bobiverse and The Expedition series. Still, a fine purchase

Historia
The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob - featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct.

Originally written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and '30s, H. P. Lovecraft's astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction, and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when first published. This tome brings together all of Lovecraft's harrowing stories, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were when first released.

A good collection
Revisado: 04-13-16
First off, this is well worth the credit. That being said, the narration at times feels a bit flat and kind of breaks the immersion, but sometimes it's so spot on you feel like you can't turn off the lights.

It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

Good setup
Revisado: 01-01-16
I liked the book. I got it when a friend mentioned a TV series and I thought I'd check the book first. The book presents a great setup for a really interesting story but then all of a sudden it's just over, just cuts off... The end, just when the story is really taking off.
It did make me interested in the series, it'll probably make more out of the setup.
