Publisher's Summary:

Among the president's helicopter crew, however, is a young Marine. He is quiet, enigmatic, and he hides his eyes behind a pair of silver sunglasses. His name is Schofield. Call-sign: Scarecrow. Rumour has it, he's a good man in a storm. Judging by what the president has just walked into, he'd better be.

Critic Reviews:

"Reilly, the pedal-to-the-metal action novelist from Australia, returns here with yet another inelegant yet oddly invigorating rip-snorter about - what else? - world domination." (Publishers Weekly)

"An exciting romp." (Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Excellent Book, Not So Great Narrator.

Matthew Reilly's Area 7 is without a doubt one of my favorite action novels and its excellent use of fast past action coupled with rich characterization and on the edge of your seat style of writing proves to be a definite winner here, however the i found the narrator to be another matter all together, while the book warrants 5 stars i feel the narrator lets down the novel as a hole and i find his use of voice work to be at some points cringe-worthy, i thoroughly recommend the book, however you would be much better advised to pick up the Sean Mangan narrated version of the book as he is a far superior narrator and fits the genre the book is going for much better than Steven Pacey Does.

Area 7

Matthew Reilly has a similarity to each of his books so far but for escapism is does the job with absolutely non stop action.

surprising

I've read this book you missed out several parts in the book, could have kept them in there

Annoying narration. The narrators voice was annoying.

Excellent book, just as one would expect from Matthew Reilly. Narrators voice so annoying. Not easy to listen too. Made Gant sound like a high school girl and mother like a mentally disabled drag queen. Everyone else had high nasally voices.

great book terrible narrator

narrator makes a otherwise excellent book very hard to finish as he is very hard to understand and is very inconsistent

Fitzek [...] bastelt ein verwirrendes Puzzlespiel, das immer wieder neue Fragen aufwirft.

-- Berliner Morgenpost

Romane, die man wegen ihrer Spannung nicht aus der Hand legen kann [...] nennt man Reißer. Sebastian Fitzeks 'Amokspiel' ist ein solches Buch - packend in jedem Kapitel. Unterhaltsamer als 'Amokspiel' kann eine Jagd quer durch die Hauptstadt kaum sein.

-- Focus Online

'Amokspiel' wird den hohen Ansprüchen vollauf gerecht! Fitzek startet wieder einen Großangriff auf die Nerven seiner Leser und führt sie immer wieder in die Irre.

-- Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

i was on the edge of my seat

Amok lives up to its name as in this startling psychological thriller there are violent psychopaths, corrupt officials and conspiracies. The story is fast paced which twists and turns unexpectedly and just when you think you have a handle on whatâs happening the plot changes again. You listen hopelessly as the story un-folds from the eyes of the Ira Samin who has the un-welcoming job of a negotiator in a hostage situation. Ira had made her own fatal plans for the day as she had been planning to take her own life after the suicide of her eldest daughter. Now she is thrust into this tense situation as a maniac has several hostages in a local radio station and is playing a perverse game with their lives. Ira as an alcoholic who is in desperate need of a strong drink is fighting with her own internal struggles as well as trying to fathom out what is going on in the mind of a psychopath.

Publisher's Summary:

Living in the British city of Rosington of the 1950s, Wendy finds herself penniless, jobless, and on the verge of divorce. She goes to stay with her friend, who seems to have everything Wendy lacks. But a decades-old mystery lingers, and the shadow of death seeps through from turn-of-the-century Rosington, portending tragedy.

©2001 Andrew Taylor; (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Critic Reviews:

"Maiden ladies who would make Miss Marple smile and villains as vile as Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter populate this witty, urbane but dark third volume in Taylor's Roth Trilogy." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Pulled me in and kept surprising me

Office of the Dead is not your typical mystery. The story builds slowly and keeps both the narrator and the reader wondering what is coming next. This is first person point-of-view done as it should be. Our narrator, Wendy, reveals enough about herself to become a well-rounded, sympathetic character. Her observations of Roth, the college, and characters around her draw in the reader. The book is full of interesting and sometimes creepy secondary characters.

While this story stands on its own, I discovered after finishing that it was actually the third book in a trilogy. The trilogy steps backward in time with each volume, which explains one of the issues I had with the story. There are hints of future happenings that are not explained. If the books were read in order, the reader would understand the references.

June Barrie was the perfect narrator for this volume.

Slowly a mystery emerges

This is the first part of a trilogy of books that starts in the 1950s. The early part of the book moves slowly as the characters are introduced and fleshed out and one might think it was going to be a simple family saga. However, after a while a mystery, with its origins in the pre-War period, emerges and one realizes that the story is much more complex and gripping. The structure of the book suits being an audio version as the story is largely told chronologically by a first person narrator remembering the past. It is excellently read by June Barry. I shall certainly listen to the next two parts.

QUALITY FIFTIES NOSTALGIA & MYSTERY

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

The author Andrew Taylor is in his mid sixties, which is why he understands perfectly the era of the fifties. I am the same age and can appreciate his novel which is superbly written. The narrator June Barrie was perfect. I was transported. Not sure if today's younger reader will appreciate this. But I do.

What other book might you compare Office of the Dead to, and why?

There are too many wonderful novels. I am about to read the next book the Judgement of Strangers, which is the middle novel of the Roth trilogy. It sounds very promising.

Have you listened to any of June Barries other performances? How does this one compare?

She's not a prolific narrator, but I'm hugely impressed with this reading. I'm staying in rural China where there are no westerners, and it gave me hours of joy to be reminded of England and the spoken word.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

This has been made into a television series.

Title: The Godfather's Revenge

Author: Mark Winegardner

Narrator: Joe Mantegna

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-06

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

We see the great Mafia Don walking the streets of his New York, beloved and protected. Things have never been better for the Corleones. They've won the war, taken out their rivals, and legitimised the Family. Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen ¿ Vito Corleone's adopted son, and the glue that holds the family together ¿ are closer than they've ever been. But one problem remains. Michael has sworn revenge upon the traitorous former Corleone capo, Nick Geraci. Up until now, Geraci, who has powerful friends and far too much to say, has evaded Michael's grasp.

One night, as fireworks begin to explode over First Avenue, there is news that Jimmy Shea, president of the United States, has been assassinated. Was another mob family involved? Or did the Corleones have a hand in the killing of their old friend?

The Godfather's Revenge is the incredible story of the "lost years" in the Corleone saga: 1963-78, about which virtually nothing has ever been said, filmed, or written. This is the book that brings the saga full cycle.

Members Reviews:

Not Very Good

Waste of time.

Five Stars

It's great

Love it!

One of the best Godfather novels ever! I give it five stars! The best book ever published! First rate awesome!

Very well written with terrific time-period details

Having read ALL other related works from both authors, I found the The Godfather's Revenge the most satisfying of all. Great time period piece that concluded a hanging edge I had about the whole Godfather saga. Terrific details about poor Fredo that were discovered for the first time; and how his story was so centeral to the whole, wonderful "Family" -Quick read for me, and I'm a slow reader, HA!.

Keeping Up With The Corleone's

I have nothing negative to say about this book. I love the Corleone family and have the entire collection from The Godfather to The Godfather's Revenge. Book came sooner then expected in perfect condition. No bent corners on the cover nor the pages themselves. Good buy.

Publisher's Summary:

On their private island, the Arcangelo family defies the world: living in a decaying palazzo, making glass in a terrifying, archaic furnace, watching their absurd exhibition hall sink into disrepair. But now the world is coming to their dying outpost in a crumbling corner of a Venice that tourists never see. Police boats and vaporetti bring investigators, curiosity seekers, and one man who plans to own the property himself. With two family members consumed by the foundry fire, both mystery and opportunity have been bared to the bone.

On special assignment from Rome, Detective Nic Costa, along with his partner, his boss, and a dogged pathologist named Teresa Lupo, is getting in the way of progress, Venetian-style. They know that Uriel Arcangelo and his wife were murdered. They know that a predatory Englishman must be a suspect, as is the family of the murdered woman. And while everyone wants the Roman cops to give up and go home, they can't...because a matter of desire, death, and lies has just turned murderously on one of them.

The characters grow on you

I started late with this thriller series and am now trying to catch up with earier releases in chronological order.

At first I thought the Italian police investigators were a bit too stereotyped for my liking but the cast does grow on you. David Hewsons novels are filled with excellent descriptions of Rome and Italy, and not only the tourist spots featured, for example, in Dan Browns work. The stories around Nic Costa and his entourage of colleagues are basically very interesting and cleverly plotted, and "The Lizards Bite", set near Venice, is no exception.

I also appreciate that all dialogue is not performed with some overdone weird Italian accent but in clear precise English and look forward to listening to all future releases from David Hewson.

Brits in Italy

This is a tough review to make and write. It is between a 3 and a 4 star but we don't have that choice so I went with a weak 4. I was a little bothered by the British accent of the narrator with Italian characters. Also at times the author became overly literary and went off on descriptive tangents with overly drawn metaphors that might be found in a classic English romantic novel. That said, David Newson can tell a good story. Great plot and plot twists. Lots of clues and lots of red herrings. Good characters and good character development. As I said, it is hard to review but worth a listen. I will give him another try in this Nick Costa series.

Listening to this book is like watching a movie

The Nick Costa series of books are a great listen. The characters are developed over the whole series so be sure to start at the beginning of the series. The books are a wonderful blend of Italy (at least Rome and Venice) today as well as a look back into history. Every book allows you to easily picture exactly what is going on and where it is happening...Hewson paints the scene and pace so well, you feel like you are watching something instead of listening. I hope audible gets Dante's Peak soon!

Intriging and inventive story

I've only recently discovered David Hewson's writings. I've been working my way through his Rome detective series and have been impressed by the sheer range of imaginative stories he has thought up. He creates a great sense of atmosphere and place (this story is set in Venice).

awesome book. clear audible books. will definitel

edhv gv 3xc excellent awesome thanks for the use of the this email and destroy

OK

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

the narrator was horrible, accents terrible, and overall poor performance.

Should never use an american accent for the audio book, it makes it feel cheap.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

plot was OK

The legend continues

I reviewed Eragon back in 2006 as Sanlan37 and looked forward to the next part of the story. A friend of mine had the Gerald Doyle version on cd but I prefer the narration of Kerry Shale after getting used to his character voices in Eragon so I downloaded the audio book from here instead. I was not dissapointed . You get a follow on from where the last book ended, and the story is progressed in such a way that it's possible to see a third book on the horizon without compromising the end of this story. A talented new writer without a doubt.

Terrible storytelling

Awful version of the original book. Whole chapters missing, various parts omitted throughout the audiobook from the paperback which I can only fathom to make the audio cheaper to produce, utterly disappointed with the telling and characters voices not congruent throughout the book.

still an enjoyable story

I have read all the books in hard back, the audio books are as enjoyable.

Really didn't hold my interest. And the ending was like the author just got tired of writing and ended it.

Title: To the Power of Three

Author: Laura Lippman

Narrator: Linda Emond

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-05

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

For the shell-shocked parents, teachers, administrators, and students, healing must begin with answers to the usual questions, but only if the answers are safe ones, answers that will lead back to one girl and one family and absolve everyone else.

For Homicide Sgt. Harold Lenhardt, this case is a mystery with more twists than these grief-stricken suburbanites are willing to acknowledge, and the sole lucid survivor, a girl with a teenager's uncanny knack for stonewalling, strikes him as being less than honest. What is she concealing? Is she trying to protect herself or someone else? Even the simplest secrets can kill...and kill again if no one is willing to confront them.

Critic Reviews:

"Lippman pushes the edge." (Sun Sentinel) "Smart, innovative and exciting... She delivers the goods." (George Pelecanos)

Members Reviews:

Not my cup of tea..

I gave high praise to Laura Lippman's other audible offering "By a Spider's Thread". And when I saw the same excellent narrator had done this one too I had high hopes. While the narration is excellent the story just wasn't for me.

This is a chick novel bluntly said. I should have paid more attention to the story line before I bought the book. It's about three teenage girls and...well, maybe that says enough. If the story line looks interesting to you then you'll probably really enjoy this book. It's well done.

Such a good one!

I love Laura Lippman, but this book stood out especially for its characters and plotting. Cameo appearances from some of her Baltimore regulars.

This is an abridged version.

I have long loved this book and was delighted to see the audio version. Nothing I saw indicated this was an abridged version and I am very disappointed. I have returned it for a refund. Regretfully, but return it I did. If they ever do the full text, I'd be thrilled to own it.

Dull

What disappointed you about To the Power of Three?

I found the story hard to keep up with. Not sure if this was because it was abridged but it seemed to jump between present and past with no warning. Maybe I was'nt paying attention and was missing bits as my mind did tend to wander because it was quite a dull listen

What could Laura Lippman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not sure. I think her style of writing isnt for me.

What didnt you like about Linda Emonds performance?

Her voice seemed to drone

Any additional comments?

Maybe try an unabridged version - its a risk as it may be even more boring to listen to and longer !!

Members Reviews:

Terrific suspense

I love all of Andrea Land's books but this is one of my favorites. The plot was complex. I enjoyed most of the characters, the good ones.

Five Stars

very good book

Five Stars

Great book.

Super mystery! Hard to put down

Psychologist and popular radio personality Taylor Halstead's world was violated when Gordor Mallory - her cousin Stephanie's wealthy, sadistic boyfriend - attacked Taylor in her own apartment. When his assault was interrupted, he swore he'd be back to finish the job. Taylor is terrifed -especially when she receives threatening reminders in Christmas cards and on her answering machine.

She eventuually reports this harassment to the police, but there is little they can do. There is nothing that points to who is harassing her -and Gordon is dead.

I am a fan of Adrea Kane's work - I have read most of her books. This is the best yet. While I like to think I can figure out the mystery before the author makes it plain, that was not the case with I'll Be Watching You. Highly recommended!

Great Romantic Thriller

I was given this book on loan by my boss. Great read. Didn't want to put it down. The author really has a way of keeping you hooked with twists and unexpected turns. You can't help but fall in love with her characters!
