Publisher's Summary:

Hidden, buried deep within the government's archived files of failed military experiments lays a troubling secret. For years, 1953 to 1972 to be exact, a team of doctors and scientists tried unsuccessfully to alter test subjects, hoping to build living, organic weapons for the future. Eventually the project was disbanded, labeled an abject failure - but they were wrong - it just took the passage of time and altered DNA.

Now, years later, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the original test pool are different, superior, and dangerous. Project Generations was spawned, a systematic collecting, or scrubbing, of an experiment gone awry. The Generations are hunted, collected, and eliminated before someone discovers the key to controlling them...or perhaps someone already has.

Clouded in secrecy, a general is tasked with the daunting assignment of hoarding or wiping out the past by destroying their future. Captain Christina Aarons, a cursed Generation, is dispatched by the general to locate a new partner, Captain Jonathan Cross, himself the recipient of special abilities. Together the duo battle time, the general, and unseen forces, to block the laboratory testing and genocide of their brothers and sisters.

A story steeped in plausible rhetoric, Generations Beyond will grip you and not let you go until the final minutes of this series is turned and the truth is revealed. Secure your copy today and discover The Generations.

Wonderful first audible experience.

Any additional comments?

Very engaging story!! I thoroughly enjoyed every single word!! Excellent inventive intertwining of Cross and Aarons, and even a nod to 90s staple Kris Kross! :)

Captivating

Absolutely loved this book! I can't wait to read the next book and see how things turn out!

Black ops, sex, and drugs what's not to like?

This book does not fall into my typical reading patterns, but it does have a quality for character building as well as the kind of dirty minded humor that I can get with my close friends. There is darkness in the story, and there is light, questions and some answers, but just enough to keep you from getting frustrated. I've met the authors and think highly of them. For their first attempt at storytelling it's a worth while venture. Guys don't be put off by speaking less Action factor, and ladies it is more up your alley for that reason.

Male narrator killed the story

William Munt IMMEDIATELY turned me off. I've never stopped listening bc of a narrator. I probably should have. It was so badly over acted he ruined Blake! And the story for me. Clearly I've listened to all the others in this series- so was interested to see what happened with this love story. But I just found myself so distracted and disengaged bc of the male narrator. Brutal.

Horrible voices.

The lady is slightly annoying, but I swear this guy has a cold the entire time he is reading this. HORRIBLE choice!!!!

Narration not as good as the others!!

I enjoyed this book but the narration for Blake was not good, his voice was nothing like the way Jennifer Stark read for him. kind of ruined it for me. The overall story was great and I am very sad that their tale is over, so glad she gave us closure.

so so

the story line was ok wasnt as exciting as her other books. and the guy who read for blake sounded like he was trying to have a dramatic tone.. i love her books but sadly this one was a little disappointing.

No! To WILLIAM MUNT!!!

William MUNT was absolutely the most annoying and irritating narrator I have ever listened to! He ruined the story every time he spoke. Do yourselves a favor and NEVER use him again!

Members Reviews:

Great beginning to an interesting Triology

Where does Flicker rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This book rates in the top two thirds of books I have listened to.

What aspect of Maren McGuires performance would you have changed?

Overall I liked her performance, but her intonation was a little flat at times and other times was over the top. The later when she was doing the voices of the smaller children. Her voice did not annoy me, as some others do, and she didn't try too hard to do male voices which can really kill a good performance.. I would give her a solid 3 stars overall.

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

There is a scene in the book where one of the characters is sexually attacked. The author does a good job of describing the scene without being too graphic about it, but it still makes you cringe when you hear it.

Any additional comments?

I think the Author did a very good job with this book. It is probably geared a bit more toward the adolescent "hunger games" crowd, but I am a 40 something year old man and I enjoyed the story quite a bit. There was a romance building section in the middle of the book that grew a bit tiresome for me, but she got back into the action pretty fast after it was over.

This is a trilogy and the book ends right in the middle of an important scene, so expect to buy the next one if you like this one and want to find out what happens.

Life in a post-apocalyptic cult

A virus has swept the globe, killing most of the human populace. Any form of government has ceased to exist. Lucy, who was born on the night the lights went out, has spent her entire 16 years in a sealed house/bunker. When the food finally gives out, everyone but Lucy and her mother makes a terrible choice. Lucy's mother believes she and her daughter can find hope and safety with The Light, a religious community with refuges on islands near Seattle. What they find is far from safe and Lucy concludes that they have traded one prison for another. The only bright spot is the Nobleman, a kind of human battery who emits energy and light, the power to run the refuges. He and Lucy develop a relationship, but is the healing flicker on her palm and his energy enough to change the cruel practices of the men who control the refuges?

Flicker is a gripping tale of survival.

Publisher's Summary:

Air Force pilot Andromeda "Andie" Kim dreams of being chosen to join NASA so she can go to space. Instead she's stolen by savage kidnappers from a dystopian future where fertile women are needed for breeding purposes. All she wants is to escape and find a way back to her time before she's sold as broodstock and stuck in this ruined world forever.

Colonel Aloysius "Mace" Theron of the Cascadian Alliance is a battlefield commander, not a spy. But after 20 years of service, he's chosen for a top-secret mission: to infiltrate an organization of thieves using a time machine. He's supposed to find and destroy the machine, not fall in love with one of the captives. But Andie is as much of a fighter as he is, and he's drawn to her from the beginning. Yet if he fights too hard to protect her, his identity will be discovered, and his mission will fail, leaving criminals to terrorize the past and changing history.

Loved it!

Great dystopian story. Interesting twist of an ending. Impressive storytelling, kept me engaged from beginning to end.

Awesome book

If you love science fiction with a little romance and a ton of adventure, you need to read this book. The author keeps you excited and on your toes throughout the book. The narration was excellent. I look forward to more audio books becoming available.

Horrible!

Gratuitous scenes of sexual misconduct, and no believable story line. Pure junk and a waste of $17.96

Excellent Story

This story pulls you in from the beginning and keeps moving. The ending was predictable but it didn't diminish the journey. I wish there was a way to build on this story but with different characters.

Female perspective is a bit different ...

I liked the story but the narrator was a bit hard to get used to when she orated a male voice. I liked it, was not too bad.

Members Reviews:

Engaging story, some questionable editing

Any additional comments?

The female narrator's voice and storytelling ability were enjoyable in many parts; I didn't mind listening to her for the whole book despite the many poorly edited segments.

I enjoy this series. Book 2's story is fast-paced, engaging, and is a great continuation to the first book. Looking forward to hearing the third.

Need to fix audio editing.

There are quite a few times where to audio skips or changes volume. The story is good a and was worth it though.

Decent story, but not the best female narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

I haven't finished listening, so i could be jumping the gun, but I've mainly heard the female narrator for the book, except for one chapter. Which wouldn't bother me, if she had done a better job. I understand they have to edit pieces together so they can take breaks from reading and such, but where they clipped it together was awful timing. And there seem to be a bit of feedback from the mic quite often. And the quality of the recording varies. And lastly, she doesn't really have a wide range of characters. Not the best, and I'm tempted not to finish the book. We'll just see if it gets any better.

But the sultry deejay was getting under his skin, and the undeniable attraction that sizzled between them concerned the detectivebecause anything could happen on the Night Shift.

Members Reviews:

"OK STORY LINE, HORRIBLE NARRATOR"

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Absolutely, main character is a winer and hostile about everything.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Give the main character some common sense.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was terrible! She made the main character sound like a cry baby.

Could you see Night Shift being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No way!

Bad Narrator

Bad narrator. Bought a number of Nora Roberts most of which were narrated by Rudd and only listened to a few. Normally I can listen to bad narrators but Rudd is beyond what I can even tolerate.

Same Roberts story line, horrible narrator...

What did you like best about Night Shift? What did you like least?

The book was meh, the narrator's main character's voice was annoying. She was a very aggravating character. If that was the author's intention, then she nailed it. I wanted to smack some sense into her.

Was Night Shift worth the listening time?

not really worth my credit

Typical Nora Roberts formula

What did you love best about Night Shift?

The mystery. Who, Why,

Which scene was your favorite?

Where main character bumps into nemisis and doesn't realize it.

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

Foster children being moved from place to place does effect them for life.

Any additional comments?

Might be typical Nora Roberts formula but I love the way she writes so I enjoyed it.

Great book

I loved the book from start to finish

Nora is a great story teller. I cannot wait to read her next book

Publisher's Summary:

When mankind toys with nature, nature fights back.

Astronaut Ted "Shakespeare" Hardiston is setting off on the adventure of a lifetime that will take him the rest of his life. He reluctantly leaves behind his wife, an android/human hybrid, to command the first base on the surface of the moon.

Ted and the crew of space shuttle Liberty complete their mission, gifting the Moon with gravity and an atmosphere. In doing so, they cause mass destruction on the Earth below.

By Ted's side during this ordeal is Codie-5, another hybrid and a genetic duplicate of Ted's wife. Ted, Codie, and the crew must work fast and make sacrifices to save the world.

Members Reviews:

Very Enjoyable

I have never read a book like this before. I enjoyed the characters both human and not. The story was good if not a little short. I very much enjoyed the "Didn't see that coming" plot. I always enjoyed an original story line! The narration was great too.

A person is a person, even when not quite

Welcome to the late 22nd century where nations as we know them are truly changed, and AI has been incredibly advanced. There is work to be done to make the moon habitable, and Ted is one of the select who is capable. First, he must divorce his wife to save her from problems if he is lost to space. Not an auspicious start. But things get better, more complicated, worse, and then just plain bizarre. Do not expect spoilers. This book, while way too short, is too good for you to miss the author's brilliance. Expect fun, puns, Shakespeare, truly awful characterizations (in a groan and bear it way), sex, and selected shorts at the end.

Ian is simply marvelous with his ability to mimic accents, emotions, and dry wit. Hope to hear him paired with this author for lots more fun!

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Dry Land

Any additional comments?

I totally enjoyed this book. You are quickly swept up in the fast paced adventure and immediately want to learn more about the fascinating and unique characters. I enjoyed the al "love story" as I was intrigued by the relationship of Ted and Colby..

Don't read if you can't finish series

Loved it but now I have to finish the series. At first I was afraid it was another Hunger Games but it quickly showed it wasn't. It is a love story in the future world with rebels fighting the governments control but other then that it is different. I know I'm hooked and handing it to my twelve year old to listen to also. The reader was awesome ....enjoy

Could not finish

The voice acting is terrible. Im not sure if its the cadence or just the tone of her voice that was grating me but I just couldnt push through this one. The actual storyline/ plot of the book comes across as unpolished or in need of a really good editor. To play devils advocate with myself, perhaps Ive just gotten too old to identify with a teenager, but I think ill push through the text version on my own. Worst part is that ive held onto this one for a while so I doubt I can return it.

She has the skills to unlock his forgotten past - but discovering who he used to be might come at the cost of his remaining sanity.

Members Reviews:

Cliche, but fun.

Heart of Steel is a fun little romance novel, nothing to new or different really. Girl has guy she doesn't really like, meets new guy, drama ensues. Except the new guy is a mad scientist.

Don't expect the science or the geeky techy stuff to be all that accurate, the explanations for why and how are only enough to suspend your disbelief for the real meat of the story: the romance.

The epilogue doesn't satisfy too much, as the last few lines make the book feel like it was the entrance for a much larger story, maybe it is, but as far as I know this is a one-shot. One wonders what happens in the future and no answers are provided. Which is the entire point of an epilogue in my opinion.

It's the narrator that truly shines in this audiobook. The voices are all differentiated from the others, and the robots are all modulated, making them sound like machines. For the rest of the narration, the narrator's baritone voice is soothing and pleasant to listen to.

All in all, a decent book, one to add to the reading list, but not jostle any other books out of their position for.

A heart of steel and a soul of gold

What did you like best about this story?

Hung up on the shelf of romance and sci-fi literature is a book that strangely met the 80s movies rhetoric and kitsch. The love triangle narrated by Ms. Einspanier is an enjoyable read bound by the rules of the aforementioned genres. It is a light-hearted, though with its relatively grim moments, fiction that offers an enjoyable fill-up for a week-end in peace in your house.

And if you dont enjoy the free-time necessary to read through this novel but still shows interest into it, I can only recommend this audiobook.

Have you listened to any of Peter Reynoldss other performances before? How does this one compare?

This read is simply magnified by Peter Reynoldss voice whose acting of the storys main characters especially Dr. Alistair Mechanus when his heart of steel slowly strips itself of its lead lid are praiseworthy beyond measures for a first production on Audible.com.

Any additional comments?

Heart of Steel is a good audiobook to listen to while you attend to other tasks. It indeed doesnt require a deep listening to be enjoyed and Peter Reynoldss vivid voice acting will keep you awake throughout.

Kind of a Mad Scientist meets Beauty and the Beast

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

After coming off a steady diet of Neal Asher and C.J. Cheeryh I needed something little on the lite side for a trip and this fit the bill perfectly and it had some good reviews on GoodReads so gave it a shot. A bit of romance, a bit of action, and a bit of humor. As one person on Amazon put it it was like the Island of Dr. Moreau meets Beauty and the Beast..which is pretty accurate although I would throw in a dash of "The Terminator" as well.

Title: The Trifecta

Subtitle: Initiation

Author: J.P. Brewner

Narrator: Duane Berg

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-15

Publisher: J.P. Brewner

Genres: Romance, Science Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Warning: This is not a hero's story.

In the wake of a devastating explosion, the world has crumbled to the criminals of society. Now the Trifecta, a powerful organization, fights to regain peace and prosperity across the world. Their leader recruits Michael Fleming, a 15-year-old boy who has spectacular abilities. Shortly after arriving in the Trifecta's city, Michael discovers he must uncover a traitor who has already killed dozens of the Trifecta's best operatives. In the process of forming new friendships, Michael struggles to develop his powers and find his own path during his first year of training. But he can't shake the feeling that his new allies are hiding something from him while an ominous force watches from the shadows, influencing every move he makes.

Members Reviews:

A captivating, well-written story - good for kids and the kid-at-heart!

The Trifecta is a great book for the young and the young-at-heart. J.P. Brewner does a masterful job at keeping the reader engaged throughout. The dynamic, exciting, and fast-paced characters kept my hypertension active. Here, Brewner creates an incredible world of super heroes that any kid will love.

This book is well-written, fast-paced, with a sprint to the ending. There is no room for a break here as your imagination will be occupied with likeable characters - that have values, character, and a winning spirit - I might add.

This book is fully developed with a tremendous plot, underlying lessons, and very well-structured paragraphs. This book is easy-to-read, but complex enough to challenge the reader. The Trifecta is fun, imaginative, and a great experience for anyone that is willing to go on a day long thrill-ride (because you won't want to walk away from this one!)

J.P. Brewner is a tremendous author with a bright future. I cannot wait for the next installment. Highly recommended!

Awesome!

The Trifecta: Initiation is a very well written and imaginative Y/A *coming of age* novel. It resembles our favorite super hero stories, but brings enough uniqueness to the table that it doesnât feel like it is something you have already read at all.

The main character is a boy named Michael. We follow him as he travels from Africa to join an invitation only school, the Hero Institute, that specializes in super hero training. Michael also lives in a Dystopian world that was torn apart by fighting and the same organization that runs Hero Institute is trying to regain control of the world and bring peace. The Trifecta is the name of the group.

Of course, there are plot twists you never see coming and absolutely nothing is cut and dry for Michael. I particularly loved the pace that the world is built. It isnât rushed, but it also doesnât take until the very end for something to happen. Very few authors can pull off the perfect pace like in this book. Add to that the descriptive writing and highly imaginative story line and you have an amazing Young Adult dystopian novel. Although, I canât imagine anyone not enjoying this book, even if they are a little older than a young adult. I know I sure did.

Donât miss out, definitely add this to your TBR list!

A unique, exciting, "Trifecta"cular book! @badwordplay

Michael Fleming is recruited into the powerful organization Trifecta, because he possesses supernatural abilities.
