Publisher's Summary:

Former Captain of the Confederate Fleet, Terenze Milos is the hero of the Locusta-Vanga wars, said to have brought the galaxy back from the brink of extinction. Now he lives in obscurity, running a freight operation on the derelict ship, Endeavor. When Captain Milos recognizes the unmistakable signs of deadly Locustan technology in a salvaged fighter craft - the Stryker - he sounds a warning. But the Confederacy isn't listening....

Sole heir to the richest House in the galaxy, Ramya Kiroff has a life anyone would kill for. Only to Ramya, it is a living nightmare. Her father Tyrsten has no use for a female heir, except as bait. When Ramya is handed a diktat - she must marry a stranger who will run the Kiroff business empire in her stead - she decides she has had enough.

Ramya's plan to escape her trappings is flawless. Until she steps into an old freighter, the Endeavor, and finds herself right in the middle of a galactic war with the deadly Locustans. It's a war with monumental stakes - a loss would mean the end of life in the galaxy. It's a war that the Confederacy does not believe has begun.

Guided by veteran Captain Milos, Ramya and the crew of Endeavor race across the galaxy to rally a ragtag band of troops to defend the front lines. They just might pull off a miracle, but first they have to outrun Trysten Kiroff, the Confederate forces, and ruthless bounty hunters.

A grizzled old captain with a mysterious past, a ragtag crew, and a stowaway with a secret - can this band of misfits save the galaxy from annihilation?

Title: Darkover Landfall

Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley

Narrator: Max Bellmore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-11-18

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Darkover, planet of wonder, world of mystery, has been a favorite of science fiction fans for many years. For it is a truly alien sphere - a world of strange intelligences, of brooding skies beneath a ruddy sun, and of powers unknown to Earth. In this novel, Marion Zimmer Bradley tells of the original coming of the Earthmen, of the days when Darkover knew not humanity.

This is the full-bodied novel of what happened when a colonial starship crash-landed on that uncharted planet to encounter for the first time in human existence the impact of the Ghost Wind, the psychic currents that were native only to that world, and the price that every Earthling must pay before Darkover could claim him for itself.

Classic MZ Bradley Science Fiction

I still have my first paperback of this story printed in 1972. A friend asked me to recommend a science fiction book for a new sci fi reader and my first thought was this one. So I ordered for my Kindle and reread it. Just as good as I remembered and a great introduction to this type of science fiction. Not sure though why they paired it with Two To Conquer and there many others I would have chosen to pair it with. Maybe the short storied in The Keepers Price. Anyway, great reading and great series.

Amazing Author. Great read.

Marion Zimmer - Bradley has been a long time favorite author. I'm re- reading all het stuff again and buying new books as I've written mine down to nothing. Highly recommend her Darkover series. You'll live the sci-fi fantasy books she wrote aling with Deborah J. Ross as well, who apparently finished her novels/ series once she passed on. I would live to see these made into T.V. series or movies straight out of her books.

Darkover Series, First Contact

Until reading the Darkover Series, I had read little of this Author past "The Mists of Avalon," which totally captivated me. I was looking for a fantasy series that would hold my interest and stretch my imagination in ways it had not been challenged previously. This series does an amazing job in creating an entire world, a new planet, including climate, suns and moons. The characters are fun, creative and the ideas are fun well worth reading and considering.

Two tales one of the First Landing on a strange planet In which we could survive, and two a tale of a man called Wolf and the be

Our ship has crashed and out of a full complement of crew and colonist their are only two hundred left! We must try and survive and fix our ship, but a strange ghost wind brings madness and new abilities to those left.

brad the Wolf has been brought up to control the armies of his family, but loses his place in the kingdom because of his bitterness..As he grows up and returns he finds he is now his younger brother's general and is under the regent his father.. This tale has lots of action but also soul searching that can destroy a man.

I have put off submitting my review until I have read this three times. Each time I find something new to think about and I love Darkover tales with their ESP, and matrix tower and learonus and star stones and just people sort of like us.

Been a fan of Marion's Darkover world since I was ...

Been a fan of Marion's Darkover world since I was a child! These stories launched me into the world of SciFi/Fantasy!

Title: Sinless

Author: Sarah Tarkoff

Narrator: Stephanie Einstein

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-09-18

Publisher: Harper Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

With shades of Scott Westerfeld's Uglies and Ally Condie's Matched, this dark, cinematic dystopian novel - the first in the thrilling Eye of the Beholder series - is set in a near future society in which "right" and "wrong" are manifested by beauty and ugliness.

In Grace Luther's world, morality is physically enforced. Those who are "good" are blessed with beauty while those who are not suffer horrifying consequences - disfigurement or even death. When the cleric's daughter stumbles onto information that proves her world is more complicated than it seems, she finds herself at the center of an epic battle where good and evil are not so easily distinguished. Despite all her efforts to live a normal teenage life, Grace is faced with a series of decisions that will risk the lives of everyone she loves.

With each minute, Sarah Tarkoff masterfully tightens the screws in this electrifying debut novel that plunges us into a nightmarish and all too plausible future. Full of high-drama and pulsating tension, Sinless explores essential questions teenagers wrestle with every day: What is beauty? What is faith? Where does friendship end and love begin? Do we take our world at face value and accept all that we have been taught - or do we question the mores of the society into which we are born?

Chilling and thought-provoking, Sinless is essential listening for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner, The Giver, and Delirium.

Members Reviews:

Two men are caught on opposite sides of a violent, off-world rebellion in this standalone, Science Fiction epic set in Rhett C. Bruno's bestselling Titanborn Universe.

After inciting rebellion against Earth throughout Titan's off-world colonies, Kale Trass learns that leadership isn't only about fighting.

Following a pivotal battle over Saturn, Kale travels deep into enemy territory under the guise of seeking peace, though peace is the last thing on his mind.

Malcolm Graves used to be an infamous Collector for a powerful Earther corporation--and then he nearly lost his life on Titan. Now he's retired. But when Kale's wake of destruction follows Malcolm to Mars and claims the life of a friend, it's time for the ex-Collector to dust off his pulse-pistol and leap back into a fight he thought he'd left behind.

With the solar system divided, heroes are few and short-lived ... but someone has to put the self-proclaimed King Trass of Titan in his place.

A humans a human, no matter where from

A human's a human, no matter where from

First off, I have to say that Justin James is one of my favorite narrators. I have listened to almost all of his books, and he makes the character voices in ever single book sound genuine and unique. If you don't pick up this book, pick up some of his other stuff.

I was given this book for free in return for a honest review. I know that this book is the third in a series, but this was the first one I read.

I almost never pick up this type of science fiction and that means I am unfamiliar with most of the tropes and pitfalls that come with this genre. I can tell you that there was a steep learning curve. I was not given much time to learn about the character's worlds, or how they had come to be fighting as a freedom fighter/terrorist group. I had to pick up things as best I could as we plowed deep into the story.

I loved the characters in this book. Each one of them seemed like the hero of the story who was perfectly right and just in his convictions, until the point of view changed, and you could see them as the monster every else perceived them to be. In many ways this book is about the fall of a good man who made bad choices because he felt like he had no other choice.

The politics of the story were interesting, but the characters were what kept me reading. If you like science fiction, go ahead and pick this one up.

A Space Opera that has it All!!!

Titan's Wrath

By: Rhett C. Bruno

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James

This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.

This book was filled with politics, intrigue, action, adventure, character studies, and emotional upheaval. I really got caught up in the action and plot. I loved the sci-fi and the interactions between the characters. The ending...I did not see that coming at all! Wow!

The narrator should get 10 stars! Wow, what a performance! I could FEEL each emotion from the characters! What a awesome job! Thanks for making this book even better! If I just read the book it would not have been this exciting.

The Good The Bad and Those caught in the crossfire

This was a very good listen. For the first few chapters I wasn't sure who was the bad guy and who was the good. In the end it really didn't matter.

Five Stars

Awesome

A must read for fans of the first book

If you haven't read the first book you'll need to go do that before starting this one:The '86 Fix

I really enjoyed the first book but the end left me with a lot of unanswered questions about what happened to a lot of the characters we'd been introduced to.

This book follows on from the first and clears up any questions readers of the first book were left with. I don't want to give anything away as to exactly what happens, I will say it's a very worthy second book which has a very satisfying ending that ties everything up nicely.

If you enjoyed the first book this really is a must read, a very enjoyable must read!
