Publisher's Summary:

An urgent mission. A woman with a past. A dangerous burden.

Sybil from Planet Valkyrie carries a risky amount of Gravitas, a top-secret aphrodisiac embedded in the Ritual Jewelry around her neck. Before she can trade it, she is attacked by an angry warrior from slave-holding Planet Roggr. Sybil lands on Earth, in the Forbidden Zone. Rescue is impossible, all portals are sealed. Can she protect herself, shield her hazardous cargo, and find a way home before the Gravitas destroys her?

Members Reviews:

Interesting original story

Sybil from the Planet Valkyrie attends an interplanetary conference with the intention of rescuing some slaves from other planets and trade the Gravitas she is carrying surgically implanted on different parts of her body. Gravitas is a very powerful aphrodisiac, of extreme value and unique in the universe, it is also poisonous to some races and very powerful even in the smallest of quantities. But carrying so much Gravitas also has dangerous effects on her, so she will need to trade it fast. Before she can trade it, in the middle of her meditation, she is attacked by an angry warrior from a slave-holding planet, and suddenly they appear on Earth, which is in the Forbidden Zone. She will need to survive fighting against this warrior and try to go back to her planet before the amount of Gravitas she is carrying will kill her.

I would not call this book feminist, since feminism proclaims that men and women are equal, since on Planet Valkyrie, women are far superior to men, and they are allowed to have several husbands. It is also curious the fact that if two men are gay, the best option for them is marrying the same woman. Women decide, fight and carry out responsibilities. They are also very different from the beauty archetype here on Earth (at least in Westernculture), finding us too weak and close to starvation. Valkyrie women are strong and of enormous proportions, they are proud of themselves and their body.

Something terribly funny about this book are the dialogs. I had a blast listening to the characters' conversations trying to adapt to Earth and learn how to behave. The characters are not super developed but they are distinctive enough to enjoy the ride. The book is just over three hours and a half, and despite the fact that there is a lot of Deus Ex Machina, the story is quite entertaining and the characters endearing.

I liked the fact that Murray created alien races which were inspired by gods from several cultures, with the excuse that they visited our world before it became part of the Forbidden Zone.

Julie Hoverson delivered a very clear and emotive narration, making clear distinctions between voices. I have to say that I found her interpretations a bit on the theatrical side but I have to recognize that giving voice and personality to a warrior from a slave-holding planet is not an easy task. I would have preferred a more neutral tone though, while alsokeeping distinctive voices for each character. I know it is not an easy task, but this is what separatesgood from great narrators.

I really enjoyed this book. The angle was an original one, and it had its funny moments. I am looking forward to read more about Sybil of the Valkyries.

Title: The Destined

Publisher: Narration by George

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

Although most of humanity is unaware of it, the world always has a way of protecting itself from the forces of darkness. The essences of fire, wind, water, electricity, earth, and spirit are willing to fight against evil, although they must enter human hosts to do so. These people, called the Destined, arise roughly every 700 years to fight against oppression. And now the powers have chosen six hosts to protect the world: five teenagers and one teacher.

As fate works to gather these chosen protectors, the Earth finds itself under attack. Although world leaders of the past had been determined to conquer the known world, globalization and population growth have mostly caused the prominence of this goal to fade among the nations of the Earth. But now a new force that apparently has world domination in mind has launched an assault against the entire world, and no government can pinpoint the source of the attack. The people of Earth seem doomed.

In preparation for the fight of their lives, the six Destined must work quickly to understand their powers and learn to work together if they are to have any hope of keeping humanity safe.

Title: The Recollections of Turner Ashbey

Subtitle: An Audio Novel

Author: Brian Price

Narrator: Brian Price

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-16

Publisher: Waterlogg Productions

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

Publisher's Summary:

The year is 2096, and the 83-year-old Turner Ashbey has seen a lot in the turbulent 21st century: the rising oceans, the Eastern Migration, the Stay Put, the Digital Undoing, the Tax Indentures, and, of course, the collapse and dissolution of the United States federal government into, finally, 113 "ephemeral nations", as Ashbey liked to call them. A writer, historian, and former ambassador from the Great Soldier Nation of Colorado, Turner Ashbey looks back upon his life, including his on-and-off-again relationship with childhood friend and resistance leader Laze Fitzgerald.

Turner Ashbey was originally written, voiced, and posted monthly on www.greatnorthernaudio.com as a serial novelization with the same quick wit; nearsighted, web-footed dystopian outlook; and predeluvian distribution strategy you've come to expect from those guys at Great Northern.

This story pulls in many directions: the ability for corporations (or individual people) to affect democracy, the influence of technology on our lives, what it means to have an identity, and the epistemic search for truth in an age when facts seem to have a perspective tied to them. This is definitely worth the listen.

Publisher's Summary:

Liam had studied long and hard for the Librarians exam - it was the ticket to getting out of his house, out of his village and into the great, wide, Minecraftia World... yet the day of the exam, fate took a turn for the worse and he failed by no fault of his own. Distraught and embarrassed, he hid away from his friends and family. Unfortunately, that compulsion to hide sent him to the one place he shouldn't have hidden when his little sister decided to invade his room with her friends - an air tight chest that locked him in! When Liam next opened his eyes, it was five years later and he was strapped to a table in a laboratory - a laboratory that had apparently brought him back from the dead.

What should have been his end has become Liam's beginning. Conscripted into a secret organization, Liam finds himself at the center of intrigue and activities - ones that will change his life, and all of Minecraftia, forever.

Riepilogo Editore:

Sci-Fi apocalittico, distopico, per ragazzi.

Dopo essere sopravvissuta a una catastrofe apocalittica, che ha costretto gli uomini a lasciarla in tutta fretta per trovare rifugio in altri mondi, la Terra è tornata a essere un luogo abitabile e tutto può ricominciare. Gruppi di bambini e ragazzi, ciascuno guidato da un Vecchio - un adulto con un proprio bagaglio di esperienze, capacità e ricordi -, vengono lasciati in vari punti del globo con il compito di riavviare la vita.

Una località di villeggiatura un tempo rinomata, un'isola sul lago Vittoria, nel cuore dell'Africa, una villa settecentesca con i suoi meravigliosi affreschi sono alcune delle destinazioni in cui i gruppi sono sbarcati. Il futuro è nelle loro mani, ma del presente, e soprattutto del passato di un mondo cui hanno solo sentito parlare, i ragazzi non sanno nulla.

Per loro anche gli oggetti più semplici - una bicicletta, un film, una caramella - sono misteriosi. Come reagiranno alle scoperte che li attendono? Sapranno difendersi, adattarsi e ricostruire un mondo nuovo prima che i Vecchi, come vuole il Regolamento, li lascino a sé stessi?

Title: Mindscape Two: Lone Castle - Doubled Bishops

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Imagine. A world of true happiness. A universe free from evil. A life free of worries and hardship. The life of your choosing. A world in which you are content to be your true self. Eudaiz is that universe.

Mindscape is a six-book supernatural thriller series that pulls you into the heart-racing journey of humans who built, grew, and now serve to protect Eudaiz.

New York journalist, Madeline, and her husband, the billionaire British technology genius, Ciaran, have arrived at Eudaiz. He is designated to be king and she shall be his first councilor. Unfortunately, their arrival is met with a slew of enemies within their own cabinet. With no access to technology, their combined skills and knowledge will not apply. Lone Castle reveals a prospect of lives devoid of love and family. For them, that is no life at all, even while living in the happiest universe in the cosmos. Doubled Bishops brings the ultimate sacrifice in the battle for power.

It is a long way to the top for Ciaran. There will be blood, loss, and sacrifice, but along the way, there will be love, family, relationships, and common issues that only humans can carry with them from Earth.

Sacrificing for Love

The six original tales in this series have now been combined in pairs, and you really need to be reading THIS group in order as they depend heavily for background on each other. With something this complex it really cannot be any other way. I continue to listen to these tales as the narrator does a splendid job distinguishing characters and the action tumbles forward at a tumultuous pace.

There is a blend of futuristic and ancient weaponry and an amazing amount of battle, blood and gore as the Kingdom of Eudaiz is under attack from various other multiverses as well as Eudaizians and others thought long dead. The variety of creatures, including werewolves and zombies, makes this saga all inclusive (yes, Earth and Earthlings do play key parts!) and provides astonishing scope for the imagination.

I'll repeat myself and say Start.At.The.Beginning--or don't but I'm not to blame if you find yourself a bit confused on relationships.

Super Entertaining read

Loved it, lots of action, mystery suspense, multi dimensions and on and on. You really have to pay attention there is so much going on. Lots of great characters, good, bad and unknowns. Ciaran is still on the road to become the King of Eudaiz and his late wife is again back in this book, from the Shade of Mind series, he again has to deal with who she was, who she is and what she had done. She had partnered with the bad guy and is now paying the price. Ciaranâs wife Madeline is a strong character throughout this series who stands and fights by his side while at the same time she has her own battles to deal with. I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

A fantastic thrill ride

I'm not even going to try to summarize this book, both because I don't want to spoil anything by accident and also because (notwithstanding strong efforts by the publisher in its blurb and by prior reviewers), at this point the story line is far too complex and layered to fit into a reasonable space. Rather than summarizing I will simply note that this book continues the wonderful, twisted, creative thrill ride that began in Mindscape One.

A short Sci-Fi story for a younger audience

I may not have been the target audience for this book because it felt like it was geared more towards children. That being said, this book had an interesting concept because it was focused more from the point of view of the aliens (Orieonis) instead of humans and thats not something I see often. This basic premise of the book is following some Orieonis as they go to earth and then have an adventurous romp around New Mexico. There were quite a few times where the book seemed overly wordy and that kind of distracted me from the story. The narration was ok, but the narrator didnt vary his voice much for the different characters. Luckily the book pointed out who was speaking otherwise I might have had trouble determining who was supposed to be talking. His pace was ok for the most part, but there were a couple of times where it felt like there were pauses in the middle of a sentence. In the end it just didnt feel like this was a book for me, but it might be good for a younger audience.
