Title: Smooth Talking

Author: Tobias Buckell

Narrator: Mark Boyett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

"Smooth Talking" is a short story from the collection Tides from the New Worlds.

Caribbean-born novelist Tobias Buckell established himself as a gifted new voice in science fiction with his stunning first novel, Crystal Rain. Now, in his first collection, Buckell demonstrates his strengths in the short form, offering readers a collection of stories that are compelling, smart, wonderfully imagined, and entertaining. Tides from the New Worlds contains 19 stories that range from multicultural science fiction to magical realism, some in print for the first time.

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)

For the child in all of us,

Off-putting Narration

I just could not get into the narration style. For me, it was distracting. I didn't want to be friends with the narrator; I just wanted to read a story. It just wasn't for me.

An Adult Whimsical Disney-like Anthology

I love this book. The author has such a flair for writing that every paragraph is described in such detail that the reader can easily picture whatever is being portrayed. Each anthology is a magical, whimsical adult version of a Disneyland or Oz type tale that keeps the reader enthralled. I did not want to put the book down. I would recommend this feel better book to all adults. You will be whisked away from the daily grind to a colorful wonderland. Don't miss it.

Stories as comforting as a soft blanket and hot chocolate

A collection of stories with the author's heart and soul poured in! The narrator is a familiar and comfortable presence throughout the books. "But before we get there, dear Reader, might I suggest we get nice and comfy - with a warm glass of milk at the ready and another plate of gooey chocolate chip cookies - for I feel the Maker's work is not done, and even we may be changed before it is." (The Movement Revisited)

Title: Door Number Four (A Short Single)

Author: Janna Hill

Narrator: Christopher Lane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-15

Publisher: Janna Hill

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

Donald S. Crowley was a CPA by day; a bean counter; a number cruncher and a certified bore. By night he was as stimulating as the hero in his latest read with all the social skills of a brick and to make matters worse he was in love with a door. Not just any door, number four was special. Her alluring smile had caught Donald's eye when he was just a boy and she called him by name. Despite years of therapy and medications she still called to him. Now he would risk his life to see her again and to finally know what lay behind Door Number Four.

Members Reviews:

An imaginative short story!

This story has the unusual storyline of a very boring man who falls in love with a door! I know it sounds almost silly, but from this odd beginning, the author presents a story that is interesting and ultimately believable.

It is really as a young boy that he first encounters and is seduced by Door Number Four. He is intrigued to find out what is behind the mysterious and beautiful door, but is sternly turned away by the apparent owner of the house. His annoying persistence eventually causes the owner of the house to call the police on the young boy; but his interest in the door lasts until he is well into adulthood.

This was a quirky and peculiar tale that was very well told. I would recommend this 23 page quick read to lovers of surreal and darkly psychological stories.

Unique short story concept

The good: This short story is bizarre, that's for sure; however, it's not so bizarre that it risks confusing the reader. It walks a thin line between believable and outrageous and does so expertly. It's the type of story whose interpretation will differ depending on the reader. I quite enjoyed this short, and the author manages to add depth to the characters with a minimal amount of pages in which to do so.

The not so good: While the editing is far better in this short story in comparison to many of the author's other books that are riddled with errors, there are still some grammatical errors but not enough to detract the reader from the story entirely. One of my biggest pet peeves is poor editing, but the errors are few enough in number that I did not feel frustrated.

Overall: If you are the type of reader that enjoys strange and bizarre tales from time to time, then I recommend this short, perplexing, and odd read. If you are not one to suspend reality for a bit than this may not be for you. Personally, I enjoyed it, but in terms of the overall reading experience and writing style, I rate it 3 stars. It's a good short for a lazy read before bed or during a short break at work. It's not the best short story I've read, but it did entertain.

Pretty Cool

While I generally like longer novels, this little tid bit was a great story. Fantasy wrapped up in unrequited love. Maybe. Every now and then I will have to pick a book that I normally would not read, because I run out of things to read! This one filled the void while waiting for my next "real" book. Like it, though.

A continued romance

Tetra needs continued romance... a revolving door of men to marry, one at a time, for years at a time before moving on to the next. If you like this sort of story, this is for you. Although short, it still gets your attention and holds it to the end.

ended to soon

I would have liked a little more detail at the end about Donald's replacement to complete the circle with the beginning of the story. All in all, it was OK.

Cudos on the acting!

Where does Perfect Child, Imperfect rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I originally selected this book because I do have a pre-teen son who is Autistic. First I read the text, and then I listened to it as an audio book. When listening to the book, I was able to feel the pain and the terror of this young boy in the author's voice. The girl (who I was impressed with her boy voice) did an excellent job researching and getting the feel of an autistic child.

Very informative

If you could sum up Perfect Child, Imperfect in three words, what would they be?

Even though I do not work with this age student, I definitely see the similarities amongst mine and the character in the book. I enjoyed how the narrator was able to see through the eyes of the character and know how he is feeling.

Waste of Time

Stupid story, poorly written and so poorly narrated, it was almost impossible to listen to. I would suggest the girl who narrated should find something that doesn't involve acting or reading aloud and the author should not give up his day job

Title: Tips for Tailoring Spacetime Fabric, Vol. 2

Author: Roger Bourke White Jr.

Narrator: Roger Bourke White Jr.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-14

Publisher: Roger Bourke White Jr.

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

This book is a collection of short stories. In each of these I wrap an interesting story around a science concept. Because I am as concerned about good internal consistency as I am good story telling, these are stories that are fun because they take different twists from those found in conventional speculative fiction.

These stories are different.

In one story, "The Failure", two scientists create a new species of life. But it's not a biological species, it's a cyberspecies. And while it's much more powerful and intelligent than humans, it's not going to be either a devil or a god to mankind; it has its own worries and aspirations. The point of the story is that there are many other relations besides evil overlord and loving patriarch between humans and an intelligent successor species. The failure part is because these scientists are seeking a way to increase manufacturing productivity, not create a new species. Ah well... Now they will have to try again.

In another story, "Searching for Angels", two scientists labor to summon a 4D being into our 3D plane of existence. The being is one that has been written about in the Bible - an angel! They succeed, but then comes the twist. This story explores how beings of different dimensionality can relate to each other, and it's not easy!

In all these stories I take an interesting science or technology concept and then wrap an interesting unconventional story of human motivation around it. If you like thinking about your science fiction, this book is fun!

This is Volume Two and it's about stories that take place on earth. Volume One is about stories that take place in space and on distant worlds.
