Publisher's Summary:

Part human and part robot, private investigator Bruna Husky has been hired to locate a stolen diamond. But as Bruna's leads start to drop dead, her case becomes about much more than a stolen gem - and much more dangerous. Traversing the galaxy, Bruna races against the clock to uncover a nuclear power conspiracy that threatens all sentient beings.

Traveling from a distant planet populated by an extreme religious sect to landscapes destroyed by rising sea levels, Bruna tries to solve the puzzle of why so many people around her are suffering from toxic radiation. Meanwhile she must cope with a new love and the knowledge of when she will die, to the exact day. Designed for combat, Bruna can manipulate a plasma gun better than she can navigate matters of the heart.

This tale of romance, prejudice, and ecoterrorism makes clear that though the future might appear very different in many ways, history can't help but repeat itself.

interesting not earth shattering

The technology was interesting & creative.

The story dragged needed more pace & intensity action.

Weight of the Heart Bores into Your Heart and Mind

Rosa Monteros Weight of the Heart is the second book in the Bruna Husky series, her first being Tears in Rain (reviewed in Tears in Rain by Rosa Montero a thoughtful techno-detective noir novel review on Joe's GeekFest on Wordpress). The gist of what Ive written there still applies. This is a creative brilliant story that takes Blade Runner (Philip K Dicks Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?) as its springboard.She continues toexpand hergritty world building, characters, dialogue, and relationships. Indeed, this sequel improves on all of those. Our favorite replicant, Bruna, continues her penchant for being pulled into major scandals via innocent seeming projects.Shes tracking down a missing person and through her generous heart is thrown into a radioactive world when. So, all that was good from book one remains and only gets better.

Ms. Monteros sequel matches the high hopes I had for this series. While its mostly moved on from its Blade Runner inspired beginnings, its dive into the characters and psyches that populate Brunas world only grows more intriguing. The narrative arc is never dull, the writing is ever brilliant and the space between words where we find ourselves and our own challenges taken up, broken apart, examined, and reconstituted allows fresh insight into perennial problems.Weight of the Heart does what the best of sci-fi has always done, it examines who we are andhow we relate to one another all in the context of great story. Entertaining and challenging, with no need to compromise between one or the other.

Mary Robinette Kowal flawlessly narrates the audiobook. The introspective intimate moments seem to come from within you; the funny, odd-ball characters are portray as such, butnot in a patronizing man.The rhythm of story, with her pacing and pauses, are spot on. Even as she performs passionately, she is clear and understandable. In short, her narration is all that you could desire.

I highly commend the work for your listening pleasure.

Publisher's Summary:

Dropping out of subspace into the wrong galactic sector, Sethran Kada wakes up with a headache and an extraordinary alien aboard his ship. She implores him to help stop the abductions of her people, a newly evolved species emerging from subspace. Their dangerous potential has caught the attention of rebel factions as well as the ruling Commonwealth. When contact with her kind turns pilots into casualties, the Governors fear an imminent invasion engineered by their rebel enemies.

Pursued by Air Command, Seth heads deep into rebel-controlled territory to recover the stolen entities and to keep this deadly weapon from falling into the wrong hands. Things get personal when his alien visitor begins to transform his mind and his life, turning the rescue mission into a fight for survival for all of them.

Great Story

it was different but that made it a great story. not the same old same old that many sci-fi stories have been taking lately where it seems like you have read..or listened to the same exact thing about 5 times. Unique, original and still very good seems hard to find but this has it. I have hundreds of sci-fi books on audible due to my drive being 3 hours a day and this kept me entertained so I would recommend to anyone.

More Seth adventures with a very strange companion

What did you love best about Quantum Tangle?

Chris continues with her popular Sethran spin off of the Trans Targon series. This time Seth encounters a very unusual and intriguing character who imbues Seth with certain superhuman capabilities. As with all Chris Reher books this one stands alone with a satisfying ending leaving you want to read more but not compelled to. I really like that in a series. There is action, suspense and some very, VERY unique romantic encounters! You can use your imagination but you'll be wrong!All the characters are believable and multidimensional. You would recognize them should you meet them on the street...especially Kohe!The scenes are vividly described and the plot engrossing. This is another fun book from Chris Reher and shows her imagination and mastery of the genre.

What does Will Damron bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I did read the book. Will Damron enhances the emotional content and the characters. He differentiates the voices and nuances well and consistently. He definitely does the female voices well, not an easy task for a male.

Any additional comments?

This is a solid, fun read/listen!

Quantum Tangle

Loved this , great narration, fast paced adventure , I will listen to more by Chris Reher and Will Damron

Publisher's Summary:

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Kris Longknife series comes a military science fiction adventure featuring Vicky Peterwald....

Vicky Peterwald is no longer just the heir apparent to an imperial dynasty. She survived naval training and proved her mettle in combat to help the starving people of the ravaged world of St. Petersburg. Now she is truly a grand duchess, leading a growing battle fleet in a rebellion against the tyranny of her stepmother, the empress.

Determined to stop her spoiled stepdaughter's betrayal from upsetting the balance of power within the Peterwald Empire, the empress is leading her own armada to St. Petersburg, intent on killing Vicky and every soul on the planet that gave her refuge. But Vicky is her father's daughter, and it would be a grave mistake to underestimate her....

Members Reviews:

A Fun Space Opera

In the prior two books Lieutenant Commander Vicky Greenwald had gone from a spoiled brat to a Naval officer. She fought to help the starving people of the planet St. Petersburg and its neighboring planets.

Vickys stepmother has gained control of the Peterwald Empire. Vicky has put together a battle fleet from the oppressed nations and peoples and has set out to stop her stepmother. Her stepmother has also put together her own fleet to stop the uprising lead by Vicky and to kill her. At times the story feels like a Kris Longknife story. It was Kris that talked Vicky into joining the Greenwald Navy that changed her life.

The book is well written; the characters continue to develop and the plot is interesting as are the subplots. The ending is left hanging; I can hardly wait for the next volume in the story. Shepherd is an excellent story teller. Dina Pearlman does a great job narrating the book. Pearlman graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University and moved to New York where she started a career as a stage actress; also acts in movies and T.V. shows. She is also making a name for herself in narrating audiobooks.

This series just gets better

This is the best of the Vicky Peterwald books so far. I'm amazed how the character has grown in the three books. The tie in to the Longknife series just makes it more interesting.

Enjoyed it but the ending fell flat

The story was very exciting and different from Kris Longknife but with the same style. My only problem with the book was the ending was disappointing. It just fell flat, very anti-climaxtic.

Great series

Looking for a new and interesting selection . If you enjoy military SCI -FI this is the series for you !

enjoyable but doesnt live up 2 Kris Longknife bks

a enjoyable listen, but between 'what would Kris Longknife do?' and swooning over Manny not alot was actually done in this book, just alot of filler to set up the next Kris Longknife book.free

Title: The Days of Tao

Publisher's Summary:

Cameron Tan wouldn't have even been in Greece if he hadn't gotten a 'D' in Art History. Instead of spending the summer after college completing his training as a Prophus operative, he's doing a study abroad program in Greece, enjoying a normal life - spending time with friends and getting teased about his crush on a classmate. Then the emergency notification comes in: a Prophus agent with vital information needs immediate extraction, and Cameron is the only agent on the ground, responsible for getting the other agent and data out of the country.

The Prophus are relying on him to uncomplicate things. Easy. Easy, except the rival Genjix have declared all-out war against the Prophus, which means Greece is about to be a very dangerous place. And the agent isn't the only person relying on Cameron to get them safely out of the country - his friends from the study abroad program are, too.

Cameron knows a good agent would leave them to fend for themselves. He also knows a good person wouldn't. Suddenly, things aren't easy at all.

The Days of Tao is the latest in the popular Tao series from award-winning author, Wesley Chu. Following after The Rebirths of Tao, this novella carries on the fast-moving and fun tone of the series.

Members Reviews:

A good short story

A good short story that set up book 4 nicely. I can't wait to see what comes next.

The narrator does a great job he really ads to the enjoyment of the story. His accents and voice differences are great.

worst Tao of all - did I miss it's Young Adult?

This is the worst Tao of them all. The unbelievably stupid blockhead Cameron is an embarrassment. As an audiobook, performance excellent (although it's a painful listen).

Definitely YA orientated storyline

WARNING!! SPOILERS!!!

.

.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lives of Tao trilogy previously and thought I'd give the newest story a listen. I had read a negative review of this novel elsewhere, with the protagonist Cameron Tan character being not believable in serious life or death situations, with Tao as a mentor, even if he is a teenager.

I agree with this assessment and as explanation should elaborate that this teenager has been trained as an agent from a young age with every advantage afforded to him via high-status agent parents and possessing his own Quasing alien Tao, who has been guiding him since he was a young boy. The background and action orientated storyline of previous novel Rebirth of Tao involved the transfer & possession of Cameron by Tao and their survival against the odds, which involved a much higher level of maturity in the storyline as it is mainly from Tao's POV.

The Days of Tao is coming from Cameron's POV , and as such, as a teenager he cannot help but act as a teenager, even in life or death situations when faced with normal teenager decisions and feelings. So taking that into consideration, the point of this YA story is how he copes with those feelings and emotions and hopes to survive when forced to be mature and grow up suddenly.

Silicon Man

What did you like best about this story?

It is a wonderful futuristic with robots as our nanny, driver, caregiver....after a pandemic wipes out a great deal of the population. Some robots begin to think on their own free will and want equal rights...so an Underground Railroad of sorts assists those robots to freedom.

Loved it!

Thank you William Massa and Joe Hempel for another great book! I'm seriously hoping for a book 3! Excellent story of A.I. The machines are becoming self aware. They want freedom like any humans want. Looks like a war may be the only way to settle this. Synthetica is going down! I hope. lol

incredibly well drawn out main characters

Commander Cole Marsalis' job is to hunt down rogue robots. And he is darn good at it. Maybe it's because he does this with slightly more vengeance than other members of the AI-TAC squad due to losing a family member to one of these units. Unfortunately, to take down the movement that is helping these rogue AI units out he will have to become the thing he hates the most a robot.

The narration for Silicon Man was done by Joe Hempel who is someone to watch in 2016. His narration style and pacing pair extremely well with the Technothriller genre.Hempels work is synonymous with quality and Ive never had a problem with any of his audiobooks.

The first thing I thought when reading this was its similarity to another book that Hempel also narrated Pandoras Brain by Calum Chace. The two books could blend so well together its actually a little freaky.

This is one of the shorter books Ive listened to in a while but dont get me wrong, it has a lot packed into this small package. I actually enjoy when an author can totally surprise me with a story thats only 200ish pages that rival thousand page books Ive read.

The main character Cole is an interesting one. As the reader, we understand that he is out for vengeance in some way, but we dont realize just how much it drives him. This lends for some excellent drama later in the story as Cole is forced to become the thing he hates.

I dont want to go much more into detail about those scenes because they were really powerful in the story, and talking about them will just take away from the masterful writing style of William Massa.

The story weaves this wonderful back and forth tale where Cole and others grow and become different people by the end of the story. Any author that can pull that off without losing their audience is a master in my book.

Regardless, if you like science fiction and Technothrillers featuring rogue AI robots, incredibly well drawn out main characters, and secondary characters that make the story a fun and interesting read this book is definitely for you.

And Hempel is one of those narrators that adds to the story instead of taking away from it.

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

Publisher's Summary:

Set 16 years after the events of The Exiled Earthborn, this explosive conclusion of the Earthborn trilogy tells the story of two brothers, the sons of Lucas and Asha, tasked with surviving the Xalan war to ensure the continued existence of the human race.

Noah, an orphan from Earth's last days who, as a child, was smuggled to safety across the stars, is now nearly a man and a leader to the young enclave of Earthborn who reside on Sora. When the tranquility of their settlement is shattered by a shocking assassination attempt, Noah turns to his combative younger brother, Erik, Lucas and Asha's only child by blood, for aid. Their journey takes them to the remnants of a dead planet, an outlaw-infested space station, and back to Sora, whose inhabitants are bracing for a final showdown with the bloodthirsty Xalans.

They find themselves facing a new evil: the omnipotent Archon, who is somehow controlling the whole of the Xalan horde, and his bloodthirsty lieutenant, the Black Corsair, who has an unmatched taste for brutality. The Archon, so-called God of the Shadows, has unearthed knowledge that could wipe both Sorans and humans alike from the face of existence. The descendants of the Earthborn must uncover the true nature of the Archon and the Xalans before he burns everything they know and love to ashes.

Excellent end to the trilogy.

A little confusing at times, but we'll worth the listen. I highly recommend this to all.

AWESOME TRIOLOGY

My husband and I absolutely loved this triology. The author is a wonderful story teller and the narrator was amazing. If you're reading this review, don't hesitate....just get it and listen. It's wonderful entertainment. Can't wait to read more of Tassi's work!

Not as Good as the First Two

Really boring. Had to skip to the final chapter to see what happened

Loved this entire series

From the beginning of the first book to the end of the third book, this book series continued to surprise me. When I first started listening to Book 1 The Last Exodus, I had no idea that it was a series. After the epic final battle there's a cliffhanger, just enough for me to log on to Audible and seek Book 2, The Exiled Earthborn. By the end of the Excellent 2nd book, I assumed the story was over. It ended so beautifully and soundly, I didn't think a sequel could do any justice. HOWEVER, I discovered a few months later that Book 3, The Sons of Sora, was available on Audible. Of course, I bought book 3 and couldn't believe how wonderful it all came together in the end. I thought for sure that book 3 would be a drop off from the first two books, however I was wrong. Paul Tassi did a great job! I hope to see more books from Tassi on Audible in the future!

Great Book!

I loved this series, very good books. Action packed, Great story, Very good ending. if u love Scifi u will love this series.

Title: Arkwright

Author: Allen Steele

Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-01-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 363 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

Written by a highly regarded expert on space travel and exploration, Allen Steele's Arkwright features the precision of hard science fiction with a compelling cast of characters.

In the vein of classic authors such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke, Nathan Arkwright is a seminal author of the 20th century. At the end of his life he becomes reclusive and cantankerous, refusing to appear before or interact with his legion of fans. Little does anyone know, Nathan is putting into motion his true timeless legacy. Convinced that humanity cannot survive on Earth, his Arkwright Foundation dedicates itself to creating a colony on an earthlike planet several light-years distant. Fueled by Nathan's legacy, generations of Arkwrights are drawn together - and pulled apart - by the enormity of the task and weight of their name.

This is classic, epic science fiction and engaging character-driven storytelling that will appeal to devotees of the genre as well as fans of current major motion pictures such as Gravity and Interstellar.

Members Reviews:

Simplistic storyline with way too much melodrama

The first part of the book is the only genuinely interesting bit: a fictional re-telling of science fiction writing and famous sci-fi authors during the golden age of the genre.

But then the long middle part of the book is a tedious melodrama throwing in every daytime soap opera cliche about troubled families.

It gets briefly interesting again when the author behind to imagine humans on a distant planet, but soon it's back to family dramas before a really hokey sentimental ending.

I didn't enjoy the narrator's reading of it either. Something about the pitch and tone of his voice grated me throughout, though I must admit that he mimicked the voices of the older characters really well.

Very boring

Very slow and inane story. Not at all what I was expecting from Steele after reading the coyote series.

Aging SF Writer Invests in Long-Range Colony Ship

Quick Non-Spoilery Summary

Nathan Arkwright is a massively successful SF writer and contemporary of Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein. His wildly popular space operas have made him rich and he quietly invests his earnings into real science in the hopes of advancing space travel and even colonizing another planet. The narrative plays out over several generations of the Arkwright family, following Nathan's dream into reality.

Thoughts

My book club chose this from a short list of SF fiction that I created by indexing multiple "best of 2016" lists and then removing works that weren't available in e-book/audiobook formats and any works that were #x of a series.

Arkwright was an easy, but overall shallow and disappointing read. If this was among the best of 2016, then it was a sad year for SF.

The characters are likable enough, but you never really get the chance to know any of them in any depth. This could be do to the generational narrative of the story; it switches viewpoint characters with each section. But honestly, I felt like the viewpoint character was always the least interesting person in the room. And don't get me started on the super weak guy-meets-girl romances in this novel.

The plotting was like a videogame set on "easy mode." Challenges to the Arkwright agenda were sketchy and far too easily remedied.

Humanity is saved. But its troubles are just beginning.

To achieve their extraordinary triumph over the invading Metigen armada, humanity put aside its myriad of political and social conflicts and united against a common foe intent on annihilating civilization. In victory, unparalleled peace and prosperity are theirs for the taking - if they can keep hold of them.

When the secrets behind the daring plan that defeated the Metigens begin to escape the shadows, the very people who won the war find their lives in danger. Facing antisynthetic terrorists who want them dead, power-hungry politicians who want them chained, and a rapidly dwindling number of people they can trust, the Prevos - human/synthetic meldings who shouldn't exist - must take their fate into their own hands - and, with it, the fates of everyone.

Fifty-one Portals. Fifty-one Universes. One mysterious gateway connecting them all.

In Aurora Rising, humanity discovered it was not alone - but few grasp the true magnitude of the discovery. Intent on learning the purpose behind the Metigens' elaborate multiverse network, Alex Solovy, Caleb Marano, and Valkyrie embark on a gripping journey through the network's portals, each one leading to a universe not their own. In a mosaic of spaces inhabited by fantastical aliens and worlds both beautiful and deadly, they will be forced to question everything they thought they knew, including the nature of life itself.

It is a time of accelerating technological change and shifting allegiances as the old rules fall away and the old balance of power is upended. A new world rises - one of unshackled AIs, indestructible starships, ethereal quantum spaces, and potent new weapons - and the race is on to determine who will control its future.

Vol. 2 is repeat of last chapters of Vol. 1

What gives? This short book is exactly the same as the last chapters of the first book. This must be an error on someone's part. It is definitely an error to order this item.

Easy listening

Narrator is wonderful, easy to listen to. Stories are too short, could put two together.
