Conjures Memories of The Twilight Zone

Would you listen to Disordered Minds again? Why?

No. I'd read the book, but not listen again. The stories are interesting and creepy (in a good way), but the technical quality of the narration is lacking.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Perhaps paid a little closer attention to the words (at times it seemed he was stumbling over passages), and paid a lot more attention to the technical aspects of production. A great deal of mouth noises, clicks, pops, external noises (perhaps a passing vehicle, or the narrator bumped the mic stand a few times), and the audio seemed overly filtered (too much compression/gating)

Any additional comments?

The stories are well written and original. I enjoyed the story aspect of this audiobook, and even, for the most part, the acting. David Ayers has talent, a tad raw but I look forward to his future in the business. I'd like to see Mr. Ayers obtain some technical skills for production, or maybe outsource this part of the production.

Boring dull

The stories took too long to get to and the storytelling was dull the stories were duller yet.

Spooky... not for bedtime!!!!!!!!!!

Would you listen to Disordered Minds again? Why?

Yes I would and I did. The writing was wonderful and the narrator breathed life into the words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Disordered Minds?

All of it was something else.

Which character as performed by David Ayers was your favourite?

Too many to think of.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

it was all good.

Any additional comments?

I am looking for more of these people's works. I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't hear it in bed or just before going to bed....

Couldn't stop listening

What made the experience of listening to Disordered Minds the most enjoyable?

The narrator was superb. The writing was very creative.

What did you like best about this story?

All of it. Very 'real'.

Have you listened to any of David Ayerss other performances? How does this one compare?

This was David Ayers best to date.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was compelling. It drew me in like nothing I have ever known.

Title: The Defenders and Breakfast at Twilight

Author: Philip K. Dick

Narrator: Mike Vendetti

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-15

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

Two classics by Hugo-winning author Philip K. Dick performed by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti.

"The Defenders" is a 1953 science fiction short story by American author Philip K. Dick and the basis for Dick's 1964 novel The Penultimate Truth. It is one of several of his short stories to be expanded into a novel. The short story was first published in the January 1953 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.

"Breakfast at Twilight": Unlike most of Dick's fiction, this short story has a positive and potentially optimistic ending. When they come back to their own time continuum during a bombing, and right before their house is atomized, the members of a family are conscious of what may happen and are willing to do all they can to avoid the future.

At the end of the story, the words spoken by Tim McLean, the head of the family, rekindle the hope that men can work for a better future. Tim reassures his amazed and worried neighbors by saying that the damage to his house was caused by some problems with the central heating. Then he comments, "I should have got it fixed.... I should have had it looked at a long time ago. Before it got in such bad shape...before it was too late."

The best views of the valley

Any additional comments?

This short but satisfying story is told in a first person monologue by Lewis, who, with his Karen, has travelled to holiday in the one place left in the world where the air temperature was below 77 farenheit. A peek into the future.

It is a poignant story, well read by Noah Lee Margetts, whose soft but gruff voice liltingly tells Lewis's story, his voice conveying the emotions felt. Very quick to read, it is both lovely and gives pause for thought.

Members Reviews:

Excellent military scifi.

Excellent military scifi. If you love this genre, you'll love this book. It swings from stories with action to suspense, suspense, humor, even a spot of romance thrown it. There are futurist stories about possibilities in warfare and very realistic battle scenes. Read it. You won't go wrong.

Danielle has another hit on her hands

I will be honest, I ordered this book because I thought Danielle had edited another collections of short stories. I really like anthologies. They often give me authors I would not normally read.; I was so very pleasantly surprised to find that every single one of these stories were written by Danielle. I love the way she writes. Each story has real people in them. You feel their pain and their triumphs. And also their terror. I want to thank you for the nightmares Danielle. "In the Dying Light" was so psychologically horrifying. "Travellin' Show" was so sad. Since we had a 10 year old raped here recently, it hit home. I cried for the boy's lost innocence and the young girl. I loved the Alliance/Dominion stories. I would love to read more in that universe.

Danielle writes wonderfully crafted stories that suck you in and keep you thinking about them long after you read them. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys science fiction and the military, for some of the stories.

great variation

A Legacy of Stars is an amazing anthology of stories by a single author. The great variation from one to another in style, content, use of technology, and in the nature of the main character-first person or third, might have had several authors, but there is one view in psychology, philosophy and the horror, surprise, and strong imagery in each.

Great Characters, Smart Sci-Fi

My favorite science fiction stories balance their hardware with humanity. They make me care about the characters as much as the ideas and technology, and if they blend in a dose of suspense, all the better. The stories in LEGACY OF STARS deliver on all three fronts. They combine tight plots, grounded technology, and plausible, compelling characters--often with an element of mystery and menace. None of them lose sight of the fact that if the reader doesn't care about the characters, the rest doesn't matter. These stories, whether they take place in deep space or on alien worlds, all feel deeply personal despite the grand scope of their settings.

Critic Reviews:

"Buckells stories, culturally informed and layered, are driven by plot, rather than character or concept; Story tends to be centerpiece. He is in this sense a little like a mellowed, more pragmatic, hipper version of Octavia Butler." (Strange Horizons)

:In Tides from the New Worlds, Tobias Buckell does what the best SF/F writers do: tells stories that touch our minds with wonder and endow our hearts with perception. Reading this collection, for those of us culture-bound West or East, brings science fiction and fantasy to a fresh awakening. And for those of us who miss seeing ourselves in the fiction we so often read, its quite moving." (Tor.com)
