Publisher's Summary:

A rethinking of the archetypal time travel story!

Time machines are uncomplicated things. In hundreds of science fiction stories, they have slipped defiantly into the past or slid silently into the future. You know where you are with a time machine. They go forward. They go back. Unless you get caught in a loop.

Then you have a problem. Then you're repeating the same day over and over again. But you're a resourceful kind of guy; you figure out a way to break the loop. It's going to take a little time, but you figure time is the one thing you can afford to lose. Then you discover time machines don't always go forward and back.

Sometimes they go sideways.

A multicast, fully soundscaped audio drama!

Publisher's Summary:

What could be better than a party with your friends in New York City? In the year 2035? The future is bright. In fact the future is already here! But this future, unfortunately, is filled with kidnappings and killings, described herein with dark humor and satire. Demon humor. Demon satire.

But these demons are from outer space! How did we get here? I mean, we have robots that float about hither and thither to protect us. Robot doctors. Even robots inside us now. Did I mention it's a year far in the future, 2035?

Love is still alive. In fact Zach loves Mallory, and Mallory loves Zach. But Zach - who should be a demon hunter - is in a coma. Mallory's disappeared, presumed dead. Timothy James has been captured (his friends call him Timmy Jimmy). Patty Patty is in serious danger, and gosh darn it all, she's just a kid. All of them are cut down in their prime by beasts without feeling, without souls. It's the end of the world as we (haven't yet) know it. Love, sex, death: This book has it all. Plus robots.

Worst thing i have ever heard on Audible

Story is convoluted to the extreme. Characters are unlikable. Its written like a story a 7th grader would do. I think you should buy it just to see how bad it really is.

A joke?

I am speechless, but not in a good way, again I'm speechless. Not in a good way.

Would you listen to Juggernaut again? Why?

Yes... I listened to this book while volunteering at the school & it kept my attention & even made me lol a few times! Love the humor, characters, suspense, etc.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hope was amazing to see as she grew from child to much, much more! Seeing her grow from experiencing the losses of her family & friends. Amazing strength in her!

Have you listened to any of Jerrold "Dutch" Vanderwysts other performances before? How does this one compare?

No but now I'd like to!

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

Hope & her connection with her friends & sibling! She will do ANYTHING to protect them! She'd even kill for them... Would you?

Title: Z Walkers: Sara - Episode 2

Author: Luke Shephard

Narrator: Ben Kass

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-15

Publisher: Our Pack Press

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

It started off a day like any other, as these kinds of days always do. Sara, personal trainer, almost makes it to lunch before chaos strikes her upscale gym. Instead of meeting with an afternoon client, she finds herself face-to-face with what she can only describe as rabid cannibals. The whole first floor of the building quickly becomes a bloodbath, and she hides away in her office, hoping this is just a bad dream.

Unfortunately, it's anything but. When silence descends, Sara realizes she's not only trapped in a building with flesh-hungry people, but her one shot at escape, the nearby parking lot, is crawling with them too.

The only upside is that she doesn't have to tackle it alone. Fellow trainer Gary emerges from his hiding place in her moment of despair, and together they try to attain a human's three most basic needs: food, water, and shelter.

But she could have never predicted finding what she'd always taken for granted to be so difficult - or deadly.

Will she make it out alive? Or will she become a meal for whatever's out there?

GO SARA GO!!!!

Would you listen to Z Walkers: Sara - Episode 2 again? Why?

Sure, its quick, and entertaining!!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sara, she is awesome!

What about Ben Kasss performance did you like?

I like Ben, he gives the story life!!

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

These books would make great mini series material...

Any additional comments?

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

I like this second story about Sara, even better than the first one! Sara had no idea when she went too work one day, that she would be put right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, but that's not really something we plan for...lol She has to be brave and resourceful...and when left all alone, she has to plan an escape!!

GREAT LITTLE STORY..i RECOMMEND BOTH PART 1 AND 2!!!

Thank You Audiobookblast(dot)com

Not a bad listen but

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com.

Good narrator but perhaps a female narrator would have been more suitable. It's true that it's a third-person narration but from the perspective of a female protagonist.

Not really sure if this is a good book or not because I just listened to one episode. But, generally, there is nothing new here. The usual elements of a zombie-end-of-the-world usual themes. Aparat from calling them cannibals the author did not introduce a novel idea of any sort.

Some disruption between events and the justification of these events takes place here and there.

The main theme is of one survival in a sea of walking deads. The hero is a woman but acts like the usual hero of such a context. Unisex kind of heroes.

The author tried to give her a voice but not sure if he made it.

Not a bad listen, all in all. Might get more interesting in the next episodes.

Title: Mother of Eden

Author: Chris Beckett

Narrator: Jessica Martin, Oliver Hembrough

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-04-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

We speak of a mother's love, but we forget her power. Power over life. Power to give and to withhold.

Generations after the breakup of the human family of Eden, the Johnfolk emphasise knowledge and innovation, the Davidfolk tradition and cohesion.

But both have built hierarchical societies sustained by violence and dominated by men - and both claim to be the favoured children of a long-dead woman from Earth that all Eden knows as Gela, the mother of them all.

When Starlight Brooking meets a handsome and powerful man from across Worldpool, she believes he will offer an outlet for her ambition and energy. But she has no idea that she will be a stand-in for Gela herself and wear Gela's ring on her own finger. And she has no idea of the enemies she will make, no inkling that a time will come when she, like John Redlantern, will choose to kill....

Chris Beckett is a university lecturer living in Cambridge. He has written over 20 short stories, many of them originally published in Interzone and Asimov's. He is the winner of the Edge Hill Short Story competition, 2009, for "The Turing Test", as well as the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award, 2013, for Dark Eden.

Critic Reviews:

"A classic theme, beautifully told." (Sunday Telegraph on Dark Eden)

"This is a world I'm desperate to return to." (Guardian on Dark Eden)

"There's no justice if Dark Eden, with its beautiful, terrifying planet, slowly revealed, fails to bring Beckett awards." (The Sunday Times on Dark Eden)

Members Reviews:

Fantastic sequel to an equally fantastic book

This is the third Chris Beckett book I've had the pleasure to enjoy, and as with the other two it is one of the best so-called science fiction books of the hundreds I've read. I say "so-called" because as with all the best science fiction, this is not a story of space ships and technologies and aliens, but of the relationships and myths people weave as they seek to understand and belong. Start with Dark Eden then read this. Then read everything else this author has written. Chris Beckett is one of science fiction's greats, even if that fact isn't yet common knowledge. Thank you Chris!

Enjoyable

What made the experience of listening to Mother of Eden the most enjoyable?

It was great to hear how the colony had advanced since Dark Eden. It is very absorbing story and enjoyed it a lot.

What other book might you compare Mother of Eden to, and why?

Dark Eden

Which character as performed by Jessica Martin and Oliver Hembrough was your favourite?

Greenstone Johnson

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

When Greenstone was contenplating death on the waterfall

Any additional comments?

Cant wait for Audible to bring out the next book - daughter of Eden

Worthy sequel, but too political, not enough world

Where does Mother of Eden rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Somewhere in the middle, it was an enjoyable listen, but not outstanding.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Starlight Brooking. She's feisty and thoughtful, clever and strong, heroic and believable. A very well fleshed out character who I could empathise with and follow through the story.

Have you listened to any of Jessica Martin and Oliver Hembrough s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, during the first of this series, Dark Eden.

Title: Resistance Is Futile

Author: Jenny T. Colgan

Narrator: Lucy Price-Lewis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-15

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

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

Publisher's Summary:

She's smart. She's funny. But she's only human....

As a high-ranking mathematician in a male-dominated field - with bright red hair - Connie's used to being considered a little unusual. But she's nowhere near as peculiar as Luke, who is recruited to work alongside her on a top-secret code-breaking project.

Just what is this bizarre sequence they're studying? It isn't a solution to the global energy crisis. It isn't a new wavelength to sell microwave ovens. The numbers are trying to tell them something...and it seems only Luke knows what. The truth is out there. Will Connie dare to find it?

In this whirlwind adventure, Sunday Times best-selling author Jenny Colgan boldly goes where no author has gone before....

Jenny Colgan is the author of numerous best-selling novels, including Christmas at the Cupcake Café, Little Beach Street Bakery, and Welcome to Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop of Dreams. As Jenny T. Colgan, she has also written Doctor Who tie-in novel Dark Horizons and several Doctor Who short stories.

Critic Reviews:

"Resistance is Futile is funny, romantic, and just the right side of geeky. Set phasers to 'fun'...." (Danny Wallace, comedian, author, and presenter)

"A riotous cocktail of action, maths geeks, and kissing. I enjoyed every single page. Resistance really is futile." (Matt Haig, author of The Humans)

"It's not very often that I fall in love so completely with book.... Resistance Is Futile is bright, charming, intelligent, funny, moving and beautiful, full of wonderful imagination and expert storytelling. I think Jenny was born to write this book." (Rowan Coleman, author of The Memory Book)

"I never knew I could so enjoy a book about maths, amphibians, and total world annihilation. Quirky, funny and romantic, and it doesn't even matter if you don't know what fractals are." (Sophie Kinsella)

Members Reviews:

Jury's still out...

For honesty's sake I will say I have only made it half way through this audiobook. I'm a fan of Jenny Colgan's previous books and despite mixed reviews I thought I'd give this one a go. I won't post any spoilers just to say the plot does go off at an unexpected angle but I was willing to go with it I just couldn't find myself rooting for the main characters and found I was having to make myself persevere. Maybe one day I'll try again and enjoy it more

So good I've suggested it to my Book Club!

If you could sum up Resistance Is Futile in three words, what would they be?

Sci-fi Chick Lit

Who was your favorite character and why?

Evelyn, the strong female mathematician who cooks impeccably, advises on etiquete constantly and kicks ass... a sassy, clever mother hen.

What about Lucy Price-Lewiss performance did you like?

Lovely characterisation of voices, especially considering the number of awkward accents in the story.

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

The ending. Not what you expect from a chick lit writer, but definitely a Doctor Who (especially 10) style ending. Loved it.

Any additional comments?

Praying that Jenny writes more like this. Thining womens chick lit is amazing and we need more of it!

love how Jenny has been brave with this book

don't be afraid! Jenny's descriptive real style shines out of a book that for me is the start of a whole new genre.

Release date: 05-27-15

Publisher: Lion Den Studio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

The once beautiful earth is now nearly dead. No winds blow - the weather never changes. Filling every valley and all the low lands, acidic clouds the color of cinnamon lay heavy as they have for the past 50 years. Where the red cloud meets the mountains is known as redline; nothing lives below redline. Without protective clothing and breathable air you will quickly die below redline. Only a few merchants and traders scavenge below redline. Because of the deadly atmosphere, people now call the Earth: ACID.

The remains of mankind live in cities clinging to the highest mountain peaks. These cities provide meager residence. Travel is limited to dangerous hydrogen filled airships. The world has changed but men's lust for pleasure has not. Preying on isolated pockets of humanity are pirates who deal in human slavery for pleasure.

Twenty-four year old Noah Palatin has sworn revenge against the pirates who murdered his father and commandeered his father's unique airship. His quest brings him in league with new found friends who become his family. Together they battle their way through adventures and strike a blow against the sex pirates. Unexpectedly, his adventure takes him into his heart as well.

Members Reviews:

I am in love with this book!

All the characters and character development makes you feel as though your apart of the story. The landmarks were all so wonderfully planned out perfectly. The action, comedy, and a small dash of romance makes for the perfectly baked book.

I personally think everyone should read (listen) this. - Princess Brie (Gabrielle)

Acid is great. Hoping for Acid II

Loved it. Enjoyed the humor. Plot twists kept ahead of my guesses. I like Curtis's narration. Made for great listening.

After being recruited into the League, Nathan learns that his father was also a member, and that his death is linked to the Bloc and his work with the League. Nathan's new position with the League takes him beyond the lunar base of Terra Vree to the distant world of Dreksess Major, and the city of Tabula Rasa.

I love sci-fi-flavored films

I'm internally conflicted when it comes to my media. I love sci-fi-flavored films, but my reading preferences have always leaned toward the fantasy side of things - or at least sci-fi writers that have a lot of fantasy and folklore elements built in, such as Herbert (Dune) or Philip Jose Farmer (The World of Tiers - at least the first 2 books in that series, anyhow).

Starting off with this, I didn't know what to expect - and if I'm being honest, it started out a bit slower than I would have liked. However, within the first few chapters, I found myself getting pulled in more and more, and ultimately ended up finishing the book within 3 evenings.

The story line moved along at a wonderful pace once Nathan was brought into the realization of his new reality, and I found myself formulating my own fan-theories for certain characters as the story moved along. Regarding those theories, I was pleased that a few of the characters weren't as predictable as I had them pegged, and I also enjoyed the fact that even at the conclusion, I was left with suspicions of certain characters - just enough to intrigue me to read a follow-up, but not so much that I did not feel the story had a resolution on its own merit.

Overall, this was a good read, and I will definitely check out the follow-up to see where the saga goes.

Great Fun Read! Buy this Book!

Nathan is a terrific Character - and within a few moments in the first chapter, I was drawn into his journey. Once the action starts - the plot and the characters are great fun. I was lucky enough to read the sequel quickly (and spoiler! the story gets better!)

Fun Sci-Fi Thriller

I was asked to read this book and since it sounded fun, I was happy to oblige. Even though the primary characters are early-to-mid-twenties, I'd categorize this book as a YA Sci-Fi adventure suitable for the 14 and up reader. At its fundamental core is a who-done-it story mystery with off-world exploration. Equally, it is a Hero Archetype theme with Nathan Grey playing the reluctant hero that must dig deep and have the courage to put himself in harm's way to protect his friends, as well as his planet.

After his father dies, Nathan's world opens wide as he discovers there was an entirely different life his father kept secret.

Members Reviews:

Interesting story and very easy read

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

Yes, I would recommend this book. I enjoyed the story. It's Hobbit meets StarTrek with more Hobbit than StarTrek. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very exciting

Any additional comments?

The world building in this book is fantastic. I found myself engrossed in the story, and how everything in this story was wrapped up by the end, but still had you looking forward to the next book. One thing that really stood out was that the main female character - she's not a damsel in distress. Good job!

Interesting start to series!

It took a little while to get used to the way some of the words and phrases were used. The narrator made it a bit more difficult to understand some words that seemed to be mispronounced.

Should be juvenile science fiction

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. It is written for a teenaged audience.

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

Make the characters a bit more mature.

Would you be willing to try another one of David Di Seurs performances?

Unsure. The narration was not terrible but the story line was not robust enough.

Did Seed of Creation inspire you to do anything?

Yes several times I wanted to quit

Any additional comments?

This book was provided free in exchange for review. I thought from the description and the label of science fiction it might be interesting. But it turned out to be a juvenile level book with the two main characters always eager to accuse each other of guilt and never being able to develop any real relationship with those around them. For someone who was supposed to rule a country it was unbelievable.

Poor writing, poor narration.

Any additional comments?

The writing is weak and the narration is robotic. If I can't even get through an hour, I just can't keep listening. It's like throwing good money after bad. Waste of time & money
