Must read

Where does DEAD: Snapshot rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This book ranks in the middle of the DEAD books i have listened to.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the huge accident scene at the beginning. I actually listened to it twice since it was so jaw dropping and awesome.

Have you listened to any of Pamela Lorences other performances before? How does this one compare?

no i don't believe i have listened to any other performances by Pamela Lorence. At first i wasn't too sure of it, but after a bit and i got used to her it was great!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

How will Liberty fare when the worst happens all around them?

Any additional comments?

The ending of the book left me feeling a bit lost. What was coming? what was happening? How will the town handle what's coming? What about the baby? I want to know what happens next ;)

I had questions on why the first zombies the police and mayor came across they were totally aware of the tracers and were not really shocked to see the strange eyes. i was expecting a little bit more explanation of tracers and all that near the beginning more since it is a bit more of a stand alone, but i did love that it included mentions of characters we have met and heard about in the other books in the DEAD series

Better Zombie Story

Any additional comments?

Not much I can add that hasn't already been written. Not just a good zombie book, but a good book in general. Really great narration too.

Loved this!!

I only recently found this series and started off by reading Dead: Perspectives Vol 1 and on loving that, I got this one. This is just as good as the other series and I devoured this in just over a day!

This follows the story of not just one person, not even a few, but of a full community from Liberty, South Carolina. We get to see what a full town of people will do when the dead start rising. Can they come together and save their community?

It's hard to say much about the plot of this as there really is a lot going on and there are so many different characters that I may spoil something. I will say that it is a fast paced, intense, action packed and entertaining read. The characters were all well written and developed and easy to like and I found myself becoming invested in their stories. Even with there being so many different characters, the plot flowed nicely and I never found myself confused as to who was taking at any given time.

In all, this was a great addition to the DEAD world.

Could if been good but the reading is bad

the navigator audio effects are annoying and distracting. book could be solid, but let's get a better flow.

Good story

This is a good series. Plenty of action and I liked the characters. There was no blasphemy in any of the stories. Thank you. I would buy more books from this author. The only downside to these books is the producer's penchant for playing music between each chapter. It adds nothing to the story and can get annoying sometimes.

Title: The Tourist

Author: Robert Dickinson

Narrator: Peter Kenny

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 16 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

The future has already happened.

It is expected to be an excursion like any other. There is nothing in the records to indicate that anything out of the ordinary will happen.

A bus will take them to the mall. They will have an hour or so to look around. Perhaps buy something, or try the food.

A minor traffic incident on the way back to the resort will provide some additional interest - but the tour rep has no reason to expect any trouble.

Until he notices that one of his party is missing.

Most disturbingly, she is a woman who, according to the records, did not go missing.

Now she is a woman whose disappearance could change the world.

With breathtaking plot twists that ricochet through time, this is the most original conspiracy thriller you will hear this year.

Critic Reviews:

"Welcome to the 21st Century. Please don't feed the natives....Dickinson's literary prose glides through the plot thickets with graceful assurance....Echoes of Bradbury and Orwell, in the service of a crackerjack conspiracy plot; a seductively intriguing work of speculative fiction." (Kirkus)

Members Reviews:

Disappointed

I was disappointed in this book. It is confusing ( it could be less confusing in print ) the main character is, while not horrible or a bad personality or anything, flat and uninteresting. The plot might have been good but it was undermined by the point of view and flat delivery.

I kind of wish I hadn't spent a credit on it.

intriguing story asks questions it fails to answer

The writing is passable, story is intriguing if confusing w/many twists and turns that ultimately result in a dead end. instantly forgettable, sorry to say.

Terrible

This book is too difficult to understand. The British accent is incomprehensible. The story makes no sense. Watching paint dry is more enjoyable.

Title: Starship Alexander

Subtitle: Hive Invasion, Book 1

Author: Jake Elwood

Narrator: Colin Maheu

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-16

Publisher: Author's Republic

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

A washed-up captain. A worn-out ship. A crew of green cadets. And they're Earth's only hope.

The Alexander is the last true warship, a relic from the days of interstellar war. She's destined for the scrapyard, and her captain, Richard Hammett, is about to retire. Their last mission is a training run with a ship full of cadets.

It's supposed to be a routine hop through a wormhole gate. But gates have been going offline, one after another, and Hammett knows in his bones it means trouble. The kind of trouble only a real warship can handle.

Defying orders, he takes the Alexander through another gate, and puts the ship smack dab in the path of an alien invasion. Now a captain at the end of his career will have to take dozens of terrified cadets and forge them into a crew of warriors, because the Alexander is all that stands between the Earth and the swarming ships of the Hive.

Members Reviews:

Not Unique, But Quirky Characters Rise It Above

Any additional comments?

Its a unique character story fit into an overused but yet exhilarating model of a hero captain that is being unused forced to take control of humanity's last chance against an alien threat, while the government and naval admirality is reducing all ability to fight during a peace time apathy. The viewpoint of crewmen from multiple viewpoints rises it from the average to unique making it a very enjoyable read and start to a new series.

Please not that old saw again!!

I had passed over Starship Alexander several times in my quest to find a book to listen to during the usual Monday gristmill because the summary outlined a cookie cutter plot: Old ship going out on its last mission with a full load of cadets as observers and captained by a short timer whose career covers a tendency to bend rules and reg's and interpret his orders to suit him. Of course this time the ship ends up in a running battle with Aliens who are better armed. Sound familiar? Don't let it fool you! This book made me resent the clock and any interruptions. Jake Elwood made Starship Alexander an engrossing tale full of adventure and action with a large compliment of well developed characters that interacted well with clear distinction of good guys, bad guys and utterly evil aliens. Colin Maheu, the narrator was flawless and from the opening line, kept me entranced. All I can say is that Assume did its thing and I was the one with the big ears......

White wing

I loved the full series of the first ordinance, except the narrator made a few mistakes, I am an avid reader or listener to Connie Suttle's work, I did find the fact that she mixed two book series' this one and blood Passage Queen Lisa and her mates I have all ten of those books and was saddened by the misinformation used from this series played into first Ordinance, I would suggest you not read the blood wager/passage Blood Queen books , or you will find like me the book facts are altered in the first ordinance.

Still love The Books Keep up the great work Connie

10:35 AM, September 14th, 2015. Portsmouth, England.

A global particle physics experiment releases a pulse of unknown energy with catastrophic results. The sanctity of the grave has been sundered and a million graveyards expel their tenants from eternal slumber.

Desperate to reach his family before they fall victim to the ever growing horde of shambling corruption, he flees the scene.

With ingenuity, planning, and everyday materials, the group forge their way and strike back at the Hellspawn legions.

Rescues are mounted, but not all survivors are benevolent, the evil that is in all men has been given free rein in this new, dead world. With both the living and dead to contend with, is there any hope for the Taylor family?

Members Reviews:

overall I enjoyed it very much

it was slow at first but very much enjoyed. can't wait for next book to come out. thanks

Much better than I expected!

Maybe it was the cover art, but I didn't really go into this listen with high hopes. (Oh! That's where the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" came from! lol jk)

Likeable characters and interesting well thought out storyline proved me wrong quickly. I'm invested in the lives of these survivors (regular folks with no extra survival or gun training..... and smart capable women and kids too! Awesome!) - will definitely be downloading a part 2 if it's on its way :)

zombie pulp.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

same old thing. nothing new or clever. it was ok. like re-watching a movie you've seen a hundred times.

Excellent story.

A great story about a family built after the rising of the dead. Good read.

Hellspawn

I loved this story. And i can't wait to listen to the second book. This book is awesome.

Title: Forsaken Skies

Author: D. Nolan Clark

Narrator: Jack Hawkins

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 09-06-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 29 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

From the dark, cold void came an unknown force.

Their target: a remote planet, the home of a group of people distancing themselves from mankind and pursuing a path of piety and peace.

If they have any chance at survival, a disparate group of pilots must come together to fight back any way they can.

But the best these aces can do might not be good enough.

Members Reviews:

I really liked this book quite a bit.

This was a very fun read and enjoyed every chapter of it. Please put the sequel on Audible!!!

A well done intro into new series.

Well developed characters without getting overly developed. Something that I'm sure many authors struggle with. The plot was interesting and again well developed without the need to constantly repeat the plot line over and over which is one of my pet peeves. This is a worthy addition to the space opera genre.

Don't be put off by the British accent of the narrator. He does a very good job of switching accents with the cast of characters to the point where I'm not really sure what his native accent is. Very well done. Up to this point John Lee had completely turned me off to British authors and in particular his narration. While I won't listen to a John lee narration, I may give some of the authors a second look.

Ignored frontier planet under attack

D Nolan Clark's Forsaken Skies is a sci-fi version of a classic theme previously rendered in western (gunfighters) and eastern (samurai) film motifs. In the this case, a planet on the edge of the human settled galactic expanse comes under attack from a mysterious invader. The geopolitical structure has planets mostly run by corporations with the Earth government coming to the aid of the underdog in any particular fight. In this case, no one cares about the planet which offers meager resources and a population of mostly religious pacifists. A retired and disillusioned fighter pilot comes to their aid after collecting a ragtag group of reluctant participants.

The sci-fi elements are limited to FTL wormholes travel and unremarkable electronic gadgetry and conventional space weaponry. The story starts quite slowly for about the first two thrids and picks up with lots of action, heroic action scenes, and unexpected surprises towards the end. All the characters are damaged in some way, either physically, mentally, or socially. Many of the plot twists are telegraphed a bit too obviously. In spite of a setup for a sequel, this is a self contained story that can be read as a standalone.

The narration is only moderately passable with poor gender distinction and overly dramatic accents. The speed is too slow for the pace of the tale.

Note: Audible lists the length as 20:05, but upon download, both AudibleManager and Android, list the run time as only 19:58 with no apparent loss of content.

After surviving the Hunt on the Red Moon, Dane should have been happy to return to civilization, and, for a while, he was. But then he got bored. So when their proto-saurian friend Aratak asked Dane and Rianna to accompany him on a mission to a primitive world, where their fighting skills would be needed for the party's survival, Dane jumped at the chance. He should have remembered the old saying: Be careful what you wish for....

Members Reviews:

So if U want to be turned off to fantasy & sci-fi

What would have made The Survivors better?

Okay, I am a big fan of the MZB (MZB only not want-a-be MZB writers) Darkover books. The story lines and details in those books really got me reading. Survivors is nothing like Hunters of the Red Moon or the Darkover series. If the Darkover series were as bad as Survivors with its trite story lines and predictable cliches I would likely have turned away from my sci-fi and fantasy book fetish, become captain of the football team, class president, and then ruler of the world. No such luck. So if you want to be turned off to fantasy and sci-fi please read Survivors.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Ready Player One

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Found a different book to read.

What character would you cut from The Survivors?

Probably all the main including Dane, Riana, and Aratak. However, the characters were not the issue. It was the story as a whole.

Aliens and Time Traveling Ships..

Any additional comments?

The story continues with the alien, Evaran, Dr Snowden and his niece, Emily.

Emily is captured and put on an alien planet through a rift so there is no telling where she was

sent alone with strange creatures..

There are several different things going on at once including Dr Snowden and his issues while

Evaran is trying to locate Emily.

Overall this was an entertaining read or listen filled with action, suspense, and adventure.

Michael Pauley, as usual, did well with the narration.

The war with the Shaitans continues, and Lieutenant Commander Shawn "Calvin" Hobbs has stayed behind to help the reptilian Ssselipsssiss race fight the Shaitans while his ship, the TSS Vella Gulf, has gone for aid. Formerly enemies, Calvin now finds himself supporting the Ssselipsssiss in their war against the Shaitans in a "must-win" situation. If the Ssselipsssiss fall, Terra is next!

Able to operate in two universes and armed with unavoidable time-based weapons, the Shaitans have proven unstoppable. Although Calvin has experience fighting the Shaitans, the Ssselipsssiss are down to their last three planets, and Calvin's assistance may very well be too little, too late.

The only ship with any success against the Shaitans is the Vella Gulf, which can jump to the Shaitans' universe and fight them on their own turf. But time is short; will the crew of the Vella Gulf be able to find the mysterious "Dark Star" system of the Shaitans and stop them before they destroy Terra?

Faced with an implacable foe, the Terrans have been forced into an alliance where the enemy of their enemy might be their friend...or might not. The crew of the Vella Gulf will have to choose their allies wisely as the stakes are the highest possible - only one race will survive the Dark Star War!
