Publisher's Summary:

In a small pocket of the world the sickness has been in existence since the sixties. A disease so feral, it strikes eighty percent of all children under the age of fifteen. For decades it has pushed the boundaries into three countries. Those infected become mere shells, often in a state followed by violent tantrums. There is no hope, no treatment, and there is no cure.

Little is known about the sickness called the Nodding Disease. Information regarding it is often buried deep. But what would happen if the resilient disease mutates and breaks into heavily populated areas? With an infection rate of eighty percent, our future could all but be eliminated along with our young.

Nodding takes an emotional and fictional look at this very real disease.

In Nodding, the disease has mutated. Following an outbreak in the UK, a global pandemic ensues. The young victims are so violent, they are a danger to all those around them. The bacteria is resistant to any treatment, and deadly to any adult exposed. Governments must make their resolutions as time runs out for humanity, and worse, parents must face their most heart wrenching decisions.

Publisher's Summary:

Star-spanning galactic trader Jethri Gobelyns story continues in the seventeenth entry in the Liaden Universe series by master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

In a universe full of interstellar intrigue and burgeoning commerce novice Terran trader Jethri Gobelyn, adopted by a Liaden clan after an ill-directed bow of honor insulted the scion of a major Liaden house, is alive and whole to tell the tale. Convinced that the adoption has saved his life and made his future he settles into a comfortable and even elite routine, a Trader's Ring his goal.

Even as Jethri's initiation into the mysteries and joys of Liaden Festival bring him to manhood, he's forced to face Necessity and the facts of life: his adoption has also invigorated a net of unfinished Balance far more complex and potentially deadly than a simple Terran blood feud. He must embrace his Terran birthright as well as his Liaden connections while leaving behind the safety of the great Liaden trade ship Elthoria to defend his honor and that of shipmates past and present.

Forced to sit Second Board as a back-up pilot on a Liaden Scout ship, Jethri's convinced he's already at wit's end - when several familiar faces threaten all that he knows of himself, and all that he wishes to do.

Members Reviews:

The Further Adventures of Jethri Gobelyn

Trade Secret is a worthy sequel to Balance of Trade. My only complaint is that it will be a long time until we hear any more from Jethri Gobelyn, since any further adventures for him will need to wait until the authors complete a current round of 5 books already under contract that are timed later in the Liaden Universe.

Trade Secret tells the ongoing story of Jethri Gobelyn, now adopted of Clan Ixen and associate trader on Ixen's trade ship Elthoria. I very much enjoyed the continuing story of Jethri, and wish we could have more. My only real complaint, and it's quite minor, is that I'm finding the reading of Kevin T. Collins less satisfying this time around. The pace feels just a trifle rushed, with the need for a bit more emphasis of the spacing in the story. But still well worth the listen.

Jethrie's coming of age

More fun I think if it's not your first Liaden tm book, but can stand on its own. Has some frank talk about sex so you might not want to listen to it with your kids, but the sex is consensual and mostly left to the imagination of the reader.

Another great tale from the Liaden Universe.

Looking over Jethri's shoulder as he assimilates into Liaden culture opens a window for readers.

The story is gripping and the performance pulls the listener right into the middle of the action.

Disappointed

What would have made Trade Secret better?

I have liked and enjoyed many of the previous books in this series. Normally they are action-packed, character driven, great books with a wonderful dry humor running through them. This one however, drags to an unbearable level. The authors kept going off into detailed tangents that made no sense or had no purpose. I'm half way though this book and can barely force myself to try to finish it.

Members Reviews:

Classic HP Cthulu Myhthos story

Great story. Well written and gripping. Great piece of the Cthulu myth is. Well narrated. I love all of HP's work as well as the majority of the modern additions to the Mythos.

Terrible production

Horrible sound quality and lifeless reading. Stay away from this one at all costs. Plenty of other good lovecraft pieces out there on audible. Grab some of the mike vendeti ones.

Terrible narrator

While I'm an avid fan of HP Lovecraft, I feel that the narrator did not realize this was a horror story.

The Crawling Chaos

Almost typical Lovecraft, yet a bit more horrible. The protagonist battles against the blackness and chaos which is Nyarlathotep. Once the protagonist challenges Nyarlathotep at a lecture all sanity eludes the gathered crowd. Only I am alive to tell the tale......but the gargoyles are staring and . . . . .

Creepy but plotless

A very unnerving 10 minute short, but very little plot actually happens or is explained.

Publisher's Summary:

Raised to adulthood during the end of the war, between the human Polity and a vicious alien race, the Prador, Ian Cormac is haunted by childhood memories of a sinister scorpion-shaped war drone and the burden of losses he doesnt remember. Cormac signs up with Earth Central Security and is sent out to help restore and maintain order on worlds devastated by the war. There, he discovers that though the Prador remain as murderous as ever, they are not anywhere near as treacherous or dangerous as some of his fellow humans - some closer to him than he would like. Amidst the ruins left by wartime genocides, Cormac will discover in himself a cold capacity for violence, and learn some horrible truths about his own past while trying to stay alive on his course of vengeance.

Editorial Reviews:

David Marantz delivers a clear and straightforward performance of Neal Ashers science fiction narrative Shadow of the Scorpion: A Novel of the Polity. Protagonist Ian Cormac came of age during the end of a war between humans and aliens, Polity versus Prador. Memories of a scorpion-shaped war drone haunt him, but he has trouble remembering everything. As he travels as part of Earth Central Security to war-torn locales, he discovers that humans are far more cruel and violent than the enemy aliens. Hes out for vengeance and nothing can stop him - not even the truth about his own past.

Members Reviews:

Best sci-fi action writer I know

Even though the polity series is chuck full of fast pased emersive combat and gritty cyberpunk characters it is not in any sense light reading. Neal Asher is a master of epic world building and interesting character development. The science in his work often esoteric and mysterious yet with a strong foundation in the world he built.

What attracts me most to his writing is that Asher manages to capture the grit and feel of early cyperpunk works and manages to hold on to that through huge and intricate story arcs. Something most early cyberpunk writers never really mastered.

I am relistening the entire polity universe series now since it is finally complete in audiobook form. I do advise anyone with similar ambitions to google the timeline and read the series chronologically. Asher has been writing in this universe for decades, prequels sequels an all, so it can get a little confusing if you just go by audible's inferior sorting options.

Ps: A tip for you audible devs: remember my sorting preferences already, sigh.. Resorting every query to release date got tiresome years ago. The new terminology does not help either.

If you like Neal Asher go check out Peter F. Hamilton too. Not as much grit and action but seriously good at building story arcs . Takes epic out of the spectrum.

Piece

it had satisfying ending

man, Amistad is just poor misunderstood murder machine that just wanted little cormac to know the truth

Decent Polity Novel

This third installment in the Polity series seems to come, chronologically, between the first and second books. I think I would have benefitted from reading them in one, three, two order.

I think the narrator may be a Brit, doing his best Yank impression in the reading, given his pronunciation of certain words, spelled the same in both cultures.

Fascinating!

Leaves you wondering. Well played. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't help wondering what comes next.

But the journey for the truth is not without its dangers or pitfallsSomething walks the warrens within.

Members Reviews:

I'm glad I only paid like 3$ for this book.

The story line was interesting but the dialogue was loaded with drivel like "I'm a man, I'm always irrational" and the female lead apparently only knows how to fight with "clawed fingers" after losing control of her emotions. Lots of evil villain nonsense like "no, I've never killed anyone (MY HENCHMEN DO THAT FOR ME, MWUAHAHAHAHAHAH!). Sigh.

Good for you and adults but shallow

I'd recommend this book to your adults, the characters were shallow and the character of us it was a moron, she got a friends killed by her own stupidity. It was kind of like a 60s version of journey to the centre of the earth not as good as the real book needs that needs development very shallow

On three worlds, mankind will make its stand, and all the power Earth and its colonies can muster has been gathered there. Three worlds - Sandoval, Garrison, and Samvar. The Line.

Erik Cain grimly leads his Marines and their new allies to Sandoval, to fight and to hold that world against anything the enemy throws at it. But Cain plans more than just a defense; he intends to annihilate the enemy forces...and he'll sacrifice anything to win the ultimate victory. Even himself.

Members Reviews:

J Bower needs to learn third grade pronunciation

Would you consider the audio edition of The Line Must Hold to be better than the print version?

No. Jeff Bower makes the audio version obnoxious. I only keep buying the series because it's good enough to offset Jeff.

What didnt you like about Jeff Bowers performance?

His voices, inability to pronounce normal words, random swapping of words that rhyme with the word Jay Allen actually wrote. Females all sound like three year olds, the asian voices are downright racist.

Any additional comments?

Dear Jeff Bower,The rank of Ensign is pronounced En-Sin. It is not pronounced Enzen. Also, stop trying to do voices, you are only able to do offensive stereotypes. 1940s cartoons handled asian voices with less racism.

Still good after all these books

The exploits of the marines and navy continue to stay fresh even after this many books. While each book is no longer a complete story I like the over arching theme and story of those portion of the story arc.

Members Reviews:

JUST ANOTHER CORPSE IN THE FALLING SNOW

JUDGE A MAN BY HIS TIMES

VH does it again. He manages to keep my interest. Heppner refuses to jump on the band wagon of other authors and write about global warming or continue to name Russia as enemy number one. Heppner is politically incorrect, writes with cardboard cutouts as characters, yet entertains and informs for over 12 hours. I especially love the scenes involving the Chairman of China. We have all had a boss like The Chairman.

JET PACK FIGHTERS

We get to see this war through the eyes of the men on the front line of both sides and the men and women at the top. I rarely make it three books into a series, but I am still loving it and looking forward to going on to New York and probably facing the Germans.

Continues to get better

After the slow and steady climax of the story of the first two books, it was a no brainier to purchase this book. This book is the best one yet.

The Chinese have invaded, and easily gained much territory across the Rio Grande. Each battle is a slug fest, with no clear idea of who will be a winner at the end. Both Chinese and American forces have new secret weapons.

I am guessing there will be a 4th book in the series, with new characters and new enemies, but we will have to wait and see.

Another winner

I love the way the V. Heppner tells his story. Its a big What If this happen in the furture. I truely hope this never happens but its so interesting! I hated writing essays in college. So this is my review.

End It Already

I read a review where someone wrote this series was "better than Tom Clancy".

This is good stuff, but not better than Tom Clancy.

Tom Clancy knows how to end a story.

great read of a really fun book.

found myself sitting in my car almost late for appointments listening to it. was also reading it at the same time and the reader did a great job of painting the picture without trying to over do the reading

Publisher's Summary:

How long can you lie to yourself before it all comes apart?

In 2152, the avian race is on Earth looking for something stolen from them decades ago - their genetics. At the center of the search lies the Rural Republic; a small backwards farming country with high hopes of military domination and a penchant for illegal bioengineering.

19-year-old Junco Coot is the daughter of the Rural Republic's ranking commander. She's the most foul-mouthed, wildly unpredictable and ruthless sniper the Rural Republic has ever trained. But when her father's death sparks a trip into forbidden places, she triggers events that will change everything she knows to be true.

As an elite avian military officer, Tier's mission is to destroy the bioengineering projects, kill Commander Coot's daughter, and return home immediately. There's just one problem. Junco isn't who she claims to be.

With no one to trust, not even herself, Junco must confront the secrets of her past and accept her place in the future, or risk losing herself completely.

Members Reviews:

Definitely NOT a YA book, but a kicka** ride

The protagonist is foul-mouthed, cigar-chomping, kick** military sniper whose father just died. She is on the run from her own emotion (after the funeral) and then an avian, a winged alien. Throughout her journey, we come to learn much about her violent world, her disturbed past and begin to realize her bad attitude overshadows a few insecurities. There is a lot of action, although interspersed with some tedious data-loaded conversations. I think the next volume in the series will be greatly improved as hopefully the author will not feel compelled to repeat the voluminous information.

Despite, the occasional dull bit, the book is faced-paced romp through an intriguing universe. The big plus is Junco is not your typical teenage heroine. Highly recommend for any sci-fi fan tired of the usual teenage angst-ridden worlds of vampires, werewolves and fae.

The narrator does a good job with the various characters.

Due to the language, not recommended for a young adult audience.

Kickass woman rocks!

Junco is complex. Her relationship with Tier the Avian is intense. The world that the drama is alternative, but very believable. I had read the book before I listened. I has a heads up that it is violent and bloody__but never gratuitous. It fits the world. I don't want to say more and spoil it.

I enjoy a narrative that when a voice is flat as stated in the book that it how it is played. the male voices are distinct which is a good trick for a women performer. I just bought the next two in the series just before I wrote this review.

Enjoy. You are in for a trip.

Kick A** my type of girl

What made the experience of listening to Clutch the most enjoyable?

besides the story itself or the writer of who I'm a huge fan... I loved hearing all the names I may not pronounce correctly

What was one of the most memorable moments of Clutch?

Learning Junco's back story once I heard that I Was Hooked

What does Sienna Beckman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Hearing the audio makes you feel like your there..

Publisher's Summary:

Mythological artifacts become a modern arsenal in a millennia-long interstellar battle. On one side stands the alien race that styled itself as gods to secretly steer human evolution. On the other is an elite team of Area 51 commandos, dedicated to freeing humanity from their interstellar overlords.

Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte and his former lover Lisa Duncan are among the few who know the truth about the extraterrestrial threat - and have the power to fight it. But can they save the human race from eradication or just act as pawns in an elaborate plot to enslave the planet?

Having just retrieved the legendary sword Excalibur - in actuality the control key to an alien mother ship - from atop Mount Everest, Turcotte rejoins the fight, intent on ending the ancient, bloody conflict once and for all. Yet even as he tries to avert a nuclear holocaust, a deadlier, more insidious alien foe hides in the shadows, waiting for the chance to alert its kind that Earth is ripe for conquest.

Bob Mayer is an expert at weaving history

If you could sum up The Truth in three words, what would they be?

Tension Knowledge Ideas

Who was your favorite character and why?

Turncot, the hero, never gives up, always tries. He feels. He suffers. He moves forward.

What about Eric G. Doves performance did you like?

Dove's voice is amazing with different characterizations. So versatile.

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

Non Stop Tension

Any additional comments?

Bob Mayer is expert at weaving history into plausible future science fiction. So much so, that you begin to assume his story was probably what happened!

What kept you up so late...The Truth!

The Truth could have been the end of the series

But Wait...there's 2 more books!

I just have to see what else he has waiting for us around the bend.

Almost gave up

I wont lie. The last few books had me a little bored, but this one cane back with a bang chock full of some good old action and finally the truth behind it all. Im very eager to see how this changes everything and everyone involved.

yes.the Truth finally

we didn't need 7 books 3 would have been enough.im not even reading 8 and 9....

Great wrap.

Simply the best. Story brought to an epic end (at least this part). Once again, Eric was masterful at bringing the story to life!

In the future, Earth's warriors have

conquered the heavens.

But on a distant world,

Humanity is in chains....

Many millennia ago, the human race was enslaved by the An - a fearsome alien people whose cruel empire once spanned the galaxies, until they were defeated and consigned to oblivion. But a research mission to the planet Ishtar has made a terrifying - and fatal - discovery: The Ahanu, ancestors of the former masters, live on, far from the reach of Earth - born weapons and technology ... and tens of thousands of captive human souls still bow to their iron will.

Now Earth's Interstellar Marine Expeditionary Unit must undertake a rescue operation as improbable as it is essential to humankind's future, embarking on a 10-year voyage to a hostile world to face an entrenched enemy driven by dreams of past glory and intent once more on domination. For those who, for countless generations, have known nothing but toil and subjugation must be granted, at all costs, the precious gift entitled to all of their star-traveling kind: freedom!

SIR, I, I, SIR

PAIN IS THE FEELING OF WEAKNESS LEAVING YOUR BODY.

Military Sci-Fi is not my forte, but I like to delve into other genre's from time to time, because I believe a good writer can successfully write about anything and you will enjoy it. I made it farther through this military Sci-fi then any other and believe fans of this type of story will love it. This has lots of futuristic gadgets, implants, creatures, and shoot-em-up scenes.

NUTS TO BUTTS, MAKE THE MAGGOT IN FRONT OF YOU SMILE.

What I liked the most was boot camp. I thought the narrator did an excellent drill instructor. At one point he told me I was in Company 1099 and I better not forget that. I then found myself committing Company 1099 to my memory. In other books of this bent, written by some famous authors, there are long sections on taking guns apart and explaining each piece to the reader. This did not have that and I preferred it that way. I still did not get into the story and have not found the author that can draw me into Military Sci-Fi, although Douglas came closer then anybody else.

The narrator has taken some huge hits by some reviewers and was liked by others. It seems that if you are extremely knowledgeable in the subject, then he miss pronounces enough names to make him irritating. I, not knowing enough, really enjoyed his work.

MARINES ARE TROUBLE SHOOTERS, THEY SEE TROUBLE, THEY SHOOT IT.

OK story, quite different (or weird) in many spots

The first thing I would like to say is I thought David Drummond did a wonderful job of narration.

Ian Douglas is one of my favorite authors. The Star Carrier series truly stands out and I have pre-ordered the next book in that series.

Star Corps starts out well. Earth as a space faring species with no FTL travel. Very interesting when it is used (Ian Douglas is good at it).

THEN, as the battle begins, we suddenly get a Wiccan religion thrown in. Huh? It is a completely made up religion (Wikipedia " It was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century and it was introduced to the public in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant.")

The battles continue and are well written and narrated. But it seems that every myth known on Earth has it origins in space.
