Another Great Story!

If you could sum up Dark Mind in three words, what would they be?

A Great Listen!

What did you like best about this story?

It is a great continuation of the Star Carrier Series. Great plot, great characters. Left me wanting to hear the next one!

Have you listened to any of Nick Sullivans other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nick Sullivan always does a great job, very easy to listen to. A great story teller.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I have read and listened to all of Ian Douglas' books. I cannot put them down once I have started one. Just really great stories.

Looking forward to the next book !

If you're looking forward to the next book in this series then your like me and can't wait .

Another Homer by Ian Douglas!

A great blend of science fact with science fiction. Narrator kept pronouncing reaper as ripper, as in the Grim Reapers, Marine fighter squadron, which figured in every third chapter.

Good, but not as good.

I'm under the belief that you can't have an enthralling story every time because life just isn't that way.

I enjoyed the story and I believe it fit well with the rest, I just didn't capture and hold as well as the others.

Not As Good As the Other Books

This book was almost like listening to an astronomy and physics course with very little action for a STAR CARRIER series. As someone else mentioned, I agree that this is the weakest book in the series. I truly hope that the next book is more engaging.

The worst

Bought thinking would be good. TERRIBLE dictation performer is HORRIBLE simply cannot tell if story horrible or dictation person horrible. Save ur $5 !!!!!!

Nice to have a story from Tammy's point of view.

Laurel Schroeder did a great job as Tammy's voice.

Unfortunately, now that I know the ending, I doubt I will be listening to this story again. No mystery.

Fun little short story

A fun listen, well narrated and a good story. Worth the time to listen to! Personally, I am a member of Kindle Unlimited and this book (at the time I am making this review is "included with" Kindle Unlimited at no charge, with a deeply discounted "Add Narration" feature making it a bargain. I STRONGLY recommend space-opera lovers who listen to Audible sign up for this program, you can get tons of books for very reasonable money this way, 100 percent legit. I recommend this book even though it's less than two hours (I paid $1.99).

Great diversion, albeit a short one

Loved this slight diversion in the main theme. The narration, again, was very good and has it just right.

Good story

Another great book from Jamie Mcfarlane, good story nice build up to the next book, shame Michael Naramore did not narrate the book, found this narrators way of telling the story really annoying it sounded rushed and like she was always out of breath every time she spoke

By protecting and nurturing the ones with the knowledge. Terry Henry Walton begins building his Force de Guerre, a paramilitary group that will secure this new world from those who would take and destroy.

best dystopia fantasy ever

i normally dislike dystopia but i love this series so much no matter what type of books you like give this a try AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Curiosity

At first I wasn't sure about this book when I saw it in my suggestions. However my curiosity got the best of me and I figured "why the heck not". Thankfully my curiosity ended up being a win for me. The story seemed to be a typical post apocalyptic theme (don't get me wrong for the most part it is) but there is a twist in it that I have not seen in many other books in this genre. The narration was a little iffy at first but Kate Rudd did eventually grow on me.

Now there are a few things I didn't like about the book but for the most part you can brush a couple of these reasons off due to nitpicking. The first reason is simple yes, I did say the story had a good twist to it but it is another apocalyptic story from another P.O.V. of a "badass". There were some moments in the narration where it was a bit difficult to understand Kate Rudd when she would say a characters name but you can figure out who it is after a line or two. Now for the biggest reason

WARNING A SLIGHT SPOILER skip this part of you absolutely don't want to know but this isn't that crucial you find this out in the first couple chapters. The dudes a marine!!!! Come on again!?!? Now I don't have a problem with military I'm a Army Vet and that explains why I say COME ON!! There are other badasses in other branches of the military too you know lmao!

All in all I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a shorter book to pass the time or fill in time until a book you are waiting for comes out. But be warned it did make me want to continue on with the series so proceed at your own risk.

I loved it!

If you love the TQB series your sure to enjoy this one as well. Even the authors notes gave me a good laugh.

Very good first book in this series!

This was a great book, I really enjoyed it. I love that Terry Henry Walton for sure! I really like Char too. I think there may be a potential romance blooming there.

This is a great spinoff of Bethany Anne's stories, I am hoping though that like the Bethany Anne books they do not add 100 more characters, It is annoying and gets too confusing,

I really like this post apocalyptic world.

A fun side story novella in the Privateer Tales universe

Overall:

While short this is a really fun story and gives the listener a good sense of what stories set in Jamie McFarlane's universe are like. It's a great series of books and I can guarantee anyone who enjoys listening to this book, as I did, will enjoy the series.

Performance:

The narrator was crisp and clear. I actually preferred some of the prior narrators of Jamie McFarlane's work but can't really identify a reason why and am therefore not deducting for it.

Story:

This is a short novella that takes place in the same story universe as Jamie McFarlane's Privateer Tales and tangentially involves some of the characters fun that story. Having said that, the main character (and entire world) are entirely new to the series and the story holds up perfectly well as a stand-alone with its own HEA. It's s different sort of story of others in the series (even though labeled as book 6), but has the author's usual hallmarks of excellent writing, with great action scenes and strong characters in an enjoyable plot. Fun to read as a book, and just as fun to listen to on audible.

A nice spin-off story

new characters help us see life on a planet in the privateer universe.

good narration distinct voices with good emotion

Awesome

if you have ever been in a situation where you needed help. You wanted it to end like this.

like eating nails

I tried twice to read this story, but could never get past the irritating chipmunk style of the moderator!!!

this is one of the worst books I have ever heard

I gave up only being part way through. I could not listen another minute of the horrible narrator. The story line was nothing like the previous books.

Endless agonising with little action

The main characters mope, moan and agonise endlessly while the story develops slowly. Kind if a negative and depressing read. Not recommended.

Publisher's Summary:

Captain Kat Falcone owes her life and career to her former right-hand man, William McElney, and she did everything in her power to make sure he was front and center for a promotion. But now that he has it, she fears he'll have to watch his back. Captain McElney has been assigned to HMS Uncanny - nicknamed Unlucky - a heavy cruiser tainted by the mysterious deaths of two former captains and rumors of mutineers. Nevertheless, as the interstellar war with the Theocracy rages on, the Uncanny will travel in tandem with Kat's starship, HMS Lightning, to the notoriously lawless Jorlem Sector to forge alliances for the Commonwealth and quash rampant piracy.

As Captain McElney struggles to whip a hostile crew of miscreants into a disciplined fighting force, Kat is saddled with an undermining new executive officer - an untested aristocrat whose bigotry colors his sense of duty. Both captains wage war against ruthless pirates while conspirators aboard the Uncanny plot to seize the ship. When the starships find themselves locked in a death match with an enemy juggernaut, Kat must make a desperate and devastating sacrifice.

Good but not grreat

I've liked all three of the books so far. Not great but good fun, enough so I will buy the fourth book.

Fun series that is staying fun

What made the experience of listening to Cursed Command the most enjoyable?

It was just a fun light listen like the other two

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cursed Command?

Taking the pirate base

Which scene was your favorite?

The bridge scene at the climax of the mutiny

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

The chief mutineer pointing out that the difference between his being a mutineer and being a mustang was just a matter of prejudice in the kingdom.

Any additional comments?

It's a fun series and Nuttall is keeping the standard up with each book. No drop off and each book ends satisfyingly not in a ridiculous cliff hanger.

still waiting for the story to get somewhere

Kat and newly-promoted Sir William team up to battle pirates, make friendly associations with other worlds, and and continue to harass The Theocracy. Along the way, they each must deal with recalcitrant crews. Actually, in Kat's case, it's a pompous fop of a new Ex O, who is introduced as if he will be a major player, but this conflict isn't mentioned again. This is a recurring flaw in this new series: a large plot element just gets dropped. But, on Sir William's unlucky (cursed) ship Uncanny, we get a bigger plot hatching. It's not much of a surprise since it is set up in the Prologue, but how Sir William will overcome IS the story.

The story is interesting but doesn't move very far. Discover some pirates, save their hostage slaves, bemoan their brutality; outwit The Theocracy and blow up their ships. There isn't much to the plot, just a little mission and come back. We readers are plodding along because this is, afterall, Nuttall, and we expect great things. Maybe they will come. But while you're waiting, go back and revisit the Empire's Corps.

Lauren Ezzo continues to narrate this series. She has matured and improved in the interim between volumes, and this is a big relief. It is sad that the best that can be said is that she still isn't good, just not as bad as she had been. The biggest issues from the other books are diminished.

Title: Hard Luck Hank: Robot Farts

Author: Steven Campbell

Narrator: Liam Owen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins

Release date: 03-01-17

Publisher: Steven Campbell

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1139 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes it's not easy being a mutant thug.

The space station Belvaille, once the center of civilization, is nearly deserted because of the new government's policies. Hank makes do by working odd jobs, but he isn't sure how long those, or the city, can last.

However, there are still some people trying to scratch out a (dis)honest living on Belvaille. Hank concocts a plan to save the city: steal from the countless transports and freighters that pass through the System.

In the meantime, Hank falls in with a tough crowd of freedom fighters who seem determined to overthrow the government. The team goes on exceedingly dangerous assignments, with Hank taking the brunt of the danger.

As if things weren't bad enough, the Navy set up residence in the System, a powerful alien dignitary is scheduled to arrive, and Hank's absurdly-competent butler states that his robotic species may declare war on Hank's home.

It's up to Hank to fix the problems, find out who is doing what and why, and to try and earn a little cash in the process.

Members Reviews:

fun as hell

loved the book. this guy is off the wall, or through it. voice matches characters as if born that way.

Great fun, prepare to laugh.

I love Hank... In like, not that way, but like in the way a person loves a good plate of sausages, and a beer. But only really good beer.

One of the most original series I've found. I'll buy every Hank novel they make!

Hard Luck Hank Continues to Deliver

Any additional comments?

It is surprising how even after 6 books, each book is completely different from the previous ones. There are a few old characters that stick around and new ones that show up. You know you are going to get Hank being a dumb lug and brute forcing his way through the current crisis. But you know what? That's fine.

Basically if you liked the last book, you'll really like this one. Steven Campbell has clearly learned his lesson with the flop that was the third book (and lesser extent fourth book) and continues to grow the series and give us more of what we love.

I still recommend this book to about anyone that likes humor and space fiction.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Would you consider the audio edition of Hard Luck Hank: Robot Farts to be better than the print version?

Yes. The narrator is the voice of Hank. When I read the books I hear his voice. 'Chaaapter 3ee'

Any additional comments?

If you love the other books you'll love this one. We keep coming back for Hank.

Hilarious!

I personally thought this book was better than the last! One of my favorite series.

Title: Shiloh Ranch

Subtitle: The Blackout Series, Book 4

Author: Bobby Akart

Narrator: John David Farrell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-15-17

Publisher: Bobby Akart Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 449 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

The strongest emotion of man is fear, and...fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all.

Could you face fear head-on?

Can you forget all those moments when you thought you wouldn't survive, but did?

This fast-paced post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction series from author Bobby Akart (The Boston Brahmin series and the Prepping for Tomorrow series) has been hailed as a masterpiece of EMP survival fiction. Prepare to learn, as well as be entertained, as the Blackout series continues with Shiloh Ranch.

After a perilous journey replete with highs and lows around every turn, the Rymans reach their destination only to face guns pointing at them from all directions. Did they make a mistake? Should they have stayed home where familiar surroundings may have outweighed the threats closing in on them?

They quickly learn that there is one constant in a post-apocalyptic world - the threat from their fellow man.

This is the fourth book in the best-selling Blackout series. This book does not contain strong language. It is intended to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, including teen and young adults. Although some scenes depict the realistic threat our nation faces from a devastating solar flare, and the societal collapse which will result in the aftermath, it does not contain graphic scenes typical of other books in the post-apocalyptic genre.

Members Reviews:

A change is narrators!

I have listened to all the Black Out books and several others by this author. You get a voice and character in your head, changing the narrator is a mistake.

Difficult listen...great book

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narration. It is difficult to switch narrators after listening to the first three narrated by Kevin Pierce. Kevin Pierce is not my favorite narrator, but he is easy to listen to and he makes the listeners "feel" the character's emotions. I often have to take a break after listening to a series by Kevin Pierce because his voice really "sticks" with the characters and I find it difficult to change gears. I listen to a few other books by other narrators, then come back to SHTF with Kevin.

What does John David Farrell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Nice voice, clear reading.

Narration change

These books are kind of short for the price. Good series but the narrator change in the middle of the series throws the story off.

terrible new narator

why in the world would you drop the best reader for this monotone? story was ok but ruined by this guy

NOT A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE READERS

I would strongly suggest Mr Akart to think twice when changing readers. Especially 180degree difference type reader from previous three books. Voice, inflection, style and character voices so different that I'm not sure I can listen to the rest of the books in the series. Shame because I really LOVED "The Blackout Series" books.

Members Reviews:

Still Great

Loved this next chapter in the series, can't wait for book 5 to come out! Every book just keeps getting better and Luke Daniels as always is phenomenal.

love it

So this is one of those authors that I don't like and yet I love him. So it is not anything wrong with the writing and Luke is a great narrator. Reason I don't like him is I get so into the characters and he hurts them. Not as much in this book but in book I definitely took some breaks not quite ready for what might happen.

Unique and keeps you thinking

Adept handling of many new age ideas and questions, in a story that is actually completely neutral to any belief. It is easily fantasy, but offers a place to stretch one's thoughts about many things that people wonder about. It's all put in a series of computer simulations asking a number of real questions, first can experience in a game advance our real life skills, and a sort of spiritual question being, if we can find magic in virtual reality, can we bring it to our real life. It does this without losing the reality of life always balancing an inherent need for both good and bad outcomes, never knowing for sure what an outcome will be, or what might be really going on beyond what we can fathom from our perspective. There's an opportunity here to be entertained and step outside one's decided reality, and question the big picture.

Love this series

I highly recommend these books. they are never boring...always exciting.two thumbs up... please listen to these books

Really enjoyed this series but...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It needed a really good shocking twist. Although it seemed to try, none of the surprising developments seemed all that surprising. Perhaps there was too much foreshadowing.

Would you be willing to try another book from Terry Schott? Why or why not?

I would read another book by this author but I think I'm done with this series.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

If this series were a movie...definitely. It's a neat premise and it would be interesting to see how it would play out on the big screen.

A fan of K. F. Breene, but now dissipointed

I had to rewind the first 30 min of the book three times because I just couldn't get into it. Halfway through, it became DNF. Super disappointing, since I was looking forward to this audiobook and planned on pre-ordering the next.

The world building was great and easy to imagine. The storyline was also good, but just not for me. It was cold due to lack of emotion. Thus far I enjoyed getting to know K. F. Breene's female characters and cheer them on as they overcome challenges. But this time around, I found the heroine, Millicent Foster's character cold, at times to be both caustic and abrasive and just too jaded. And it had nothing to do with the pills she took to suppress emotions. I had a difficult time empathising with her.

As for the hero, Ryker Gunner, he was a typical Alpha male, best suited for paranormal / fantasy romance. The connection between the two, were, for lack of a better word, lacking.

Overall, I think K. F. Breene does an exceptional job with paranormal and fantasy, and still love her. But, sadly, unlike her other work, I will not recommend Fate of Perfection.

Bad boy Alpha male romance--NOT sci-fi

This was an unpleasant surprise. It was a free Kindle First book, $1.99 for audio. The synopsis looked interesting and solidly sci-fi. Still, I wouldn't have even paid the $1.99 except that Angela Dawe was the narrator. She's about the only good part of this book. Her performance is always pitch-perfect, her range of voices is amazing, and her men's voices are completely convincing.

But if you're looking for sci-fi, what you'll find is a book written at the self-published level of Alpha- male romance cloaked in a sci-fi wrapper. And that wrapper is full of holes.

I would love to see the return rate of this book. I suspect it will be very high because of the miscategorization.

Very Enjoyable.. Worth the Credit

I really enjoyed the book; but I must warn the first few chapter are not very engaging. I think I really started enjoying the book after the Millicent became pregnant.

Millicent lives in a futuristic world where powerful Corporations have taken human rights.

People are not permitted to reproduce in this world. In this world people controlled and could be reprogrammed if they are not compliant. People are given medicine to remove emotions and sexual desires.

It was fun to see Millicent learn to love through her daughter and how she was willing to sacrifice everything to keep her daughter.
