Historia
A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

A YA romance story with a little magic thrown in.
Revisado: 06-11-17
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I you are a teenage female yes.
What was most disappointing about Lindsay Buroker’s story?
The reviews. This is YA romance and people gushed over the depth of the story. Rapidly getting to the point where reviews on Audible are non-helpful.
What does Caitlin Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is fine .
Was Dragon Blood - Omnibus worth the listening time?
Not for an adult male. Pure waste of a credit. Could only get half through.
Any additional comments?
Audible STRONGLY needs to set up a YA section and place books accordingly. That would help readers looking for YA and those NOT.

Historia
Already faster and more powerful than the last 17 species that they have destroyed or subjugated, the Krall have set their sights on humankind. After testing humans on their future home world of Koban and finding them worthy opponents, the Krall start a war of slow extermination with the rest of humanity. The war is intended to last generations as they apply their own version of "natural selection" to cull their weaker warriors in combat, purifying the Krall gene pool with their finest warriors for breeding.

Continues a very good premise.
Revisado: 06-06-14
If you could sum up Koban: The Mark of Koban, Book 2 in three words, what would they be?
New, interesting and better narration.
What did you like best about this story?
Concept.
What does Eric Michael Summerer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Eric is a much better narrator than the first book. He did need to listen to the first book and continue some of the established voices.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Not sure.
Any additional comments?
This is a good Sci-Fi book in the area of premise. The idea is fairly new, which is rare if you read a lot on Sci-Fi. The author does seem to dwell way to long on mundane stuff but overall the book is good. Hope installment 3 comes soon.

Brandon Sanderson, need I say more!
Revisado: 05-28-14
What made the experience of listening to Words of Radiance the most enjoyable?
Great complex story and fantastic narration.
What did you like best about this story?
All of it.
Which scene was your favorite?
Too many to name.
Any additional comments?
I write few reviews but this author and these narrators are exceptional. Reading and Kramer are true professionals. When they combined with Jordan in Wheel of Time it was true genius. When Sanderson finished Wheel of Time it was spectacular. Some of Sanderson's stories I am not crazy about (Steelhart) but all are written well. Mistborn is a classic. Sanderson, Reading and Kramer are superb in this book. Can't wait for the next installment!

Historia
We colonized 700 planets. Humankind enjoyed the benefits of expansion room and the end of wars. We even disbanded our military. Then the Krall found us. The Krall have used thousands of years of combat to select the genes of the strongest and fastest warriors. They are a species determined to dominate the entire galaxy, through destruction and annihilation of every opponent.
Koban is an uninhabited high-gravity planet with impossibly fast savage animals, which employ organic superconducting nerves. This deadly world is where the Krall tested humans for war capability.

New, Revamped, Narration is MUCH Better!

- Koban, Volume 1
- De: Stephen W. Bennett
- Narrado por: Patrick Freeman
Excellent premise, narrator problems.
Revisado: 05-28-14
Would you consider the audio edition of Koban, Book 1 to be better than the print version?
Never read it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Koban, Book 1?
First battle for immunity.
What three words best describe Patrick Freeman’s voice?
Good on men and aliens but terrible on women. These women are suppose to be the bosses of mankind and they sound like little wimps.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Way too long for that.
Any additional comments?
Good premise, but the author drew some sections, like the original capture, out way too long.

Historia
The Barrani would be happy to see her die. So Kaylin Neya is a bit surprised by her safe arrival in the West March. Especially when enemies new and old surround her and those she would call friends are equally dangerous... And then the real trouble starts. Kaylin's assignment is to be a "harmoniste" - one who helps tell the truth behind a Barrani Recitation. But in a land where words are more effective than weapons, Kaylin's duties are deadly.

Great performance but slow story
Revisado: 09-21-13
What did you love best about Cast in Sorrow?
Hvam is always gives a great performance.
If you’ve listened to books by Michelle Sagara before, how does this one compare?
This story is slow and focuses on just one event. Many of the previous stories had multiple situations and varied characters.
Which character – as performed by Khristine Hvam – was your favorite?
All.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Please do not.
Any additional comments?
I am afraid that Michelle has run out of avenues for the story and is just casting about. She has a beautiful writing style but unfortunately nothing to say.

Historia
Seven years ago Kaylin fled the crime-riddled streets of Nightshade, knowing that something was after her. Children were being murdered— and all had the same odd markings that mysteriously appeared on her own skin….Since then, she's learned to read, she's learned to fight and she's become one of the vaunted Hawks who patrol and police the City of Elantra. Alongside the winged Aerians and the immortal Barrani, she's made a place for herself, far from the mean streets of her birth.

Very good story, Great Narration.
Revisado: 02-28-12
What made the experience of listening to Cast in Shadow the most enjoyable?
The story is exciting laced with unexpected twists. Khristine Hvam is the 'perfect' narrator for the lead character.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I actually liked all the characters.
What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?
I have listened to nearly a hundred books and Khristine may be the best I have ever enjoyed.
Any additional comments?
I realize I am gushing on Khristine Hvam but I am convinced many more sci-fy writers should seek her out.

Johnson, the American who heroically defended Liberator and Flying Fortress formations.

Poor in All Areas
Revisado: 10-14-09
This is the first time I have reviewed a book but this one was so poor I felt compelled to speak out. The author spends more time differentiating between what the proper aircraft numbers were or what the actual number of downed aircraft were than focusing on the pilot aces. The actual audio quality was terrible. The volume fluctuates and the voice quality oscillates constantly. The reader seems to put his hand on his mouth and mumble on purpose. Potentially a very interesting topic that is absolutely butchered in every aspect. If you buy you will be disappointed.
