Title: Nano

Author: Robin Cook

Narrator: Liza Ross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-20-14

Publisher: Oakhill Publishing

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Pia Grazdani, the heroine of Cooks previous thriller, Death Benefit, has relocated from New York to Colorado, where shes taken a job at Nano, a cutting-edge nanotechnology company. Though Pia thinks shes found a safe haven there, she begins to suspect that Nano might not be as transparent as the charismatic CEO, Zachary Berman, makes it out to be....

Critic Reviews:

"The scientific details are fascinating" (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

This book needs to be finished.

I am a Robin Cook fan and have read all of his novels. Usually his endings tie things together very intelligently. But "Nano" is a little absurd in its ending. Even though Cook sometimes continues a number of novels with previous characters, he usually finishes business for the current novel. However in "Nano", he spends thousands of words and hundreds of pages (and all of the efforts of the rest of the "good guys") being concerned with the welfare of the primary protagonist, whose fate at the end is simply written off with "she wasn't there". There is probably a sequel coming, but we could have been warned. I really don't like reading a book, that is incomplete in itself and relies on a follow-up to continue a story which should have been finished properly the first time. The book has a good scientific premise, that probably deserves more attention than it was given. Most of the novel concerns the whereabouts and actions of the person who is not there at the end. I guess we have to wait for the sequel for a deeper plunge into the subject matter, and the resolution of the main character's fate.

Nano - down the drain...

Nano could have been an excellent sci-fi-novel/fiction on the order of most of Stone's books; however, the abrupt ending [aka: no ending at all] not only really leaves the reader totally hanging on a number of accounts, but it also is truly a disappointing novel...the prequel [Death Benefits] kind of- sort of- set the stage for the characters in Nano, but the dud of an ending really ruined the entire story...if this is Stone's way of creating or setting up the audience for another sequel, then I think it may be about time Dr. Stone gets some new ghost writers or go back to dedicating his novels to his own works...even the way it drags out could have been more interesting [tolerable] if there had been somewhat of a closure with Pia [the heroine], the 2-good doctors [George Wilson/Paul Caldwell], and also something with Pia's father...however, with a novel like this, I believe Dr. Stone is selling verbiage on his past reputation...truly too bad.

Ah, the conclusion?

First, I love Robin Cook's medical mysteries. This book was exciting all the way through, but I am getting a bit weary of books that leave the reader hanging so that there can be another installment in 12 months. Books = Beginning, Middle, End!

Waste of time

I am so sorry I spent money on this unfinished book. I don't l like loose ends and expect a book to have an ending. Don't waste your time or money

Unfinished

I like Robin Cook's novels. I have read 17 of them and I really liked them. However, this one is somewhat "unfinished" according to my opinion. Perhaps the writer wanted to leave the final part to the reader's thinking, or perhaps I couldn't accept a bad end for a hero.

Members Reviews:

I wish I'd checked the reviews.

I have enjoyed all the other books by Conor Fitzgerald that I have listened to (some not now available on Audible) but didn't check the narrator for this one. What a mistake.

I found it impossible to get beyond a couple of chapters. The narrator, who had an American accent, seemed to be unable to differentiate between characters and I had to listen to some conversations more than once to work out who was speaking.

But the story seemed intriguing so I expect I'll buy the book.

Not one of his best

If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Not sure I usually like books by Conor Fitzgerald.

What was most disappointing about Conor Fitzgeralds story?

It lacked get up and go.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Hayward Morse?

Someone Italian this reader over emphasized Italian words

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

no

Any additional comments?

no

Title: Stranded

Subtitle: A Maggie ODell Novel, Book 11

Author: Alex Kava

Narrator: Regina Reagan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-27-14

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Medical Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

For decades, tired travellers have stopped at rest areas on America's epic highways to rest, refuel, and get a bite to eat, but little do they know that one man's rest stop is another's hunting ground. For years the defenceless, the weary, and the stranded have been disappearing along the highways and byways, vanishing without a trace.

When FBI special agent Maggie O'Dell and her partner, Tully, discover the remains of a young woman in a highway ditch, the one clue left behind is a map that will send Maggie and Tully on a frantic hunt crisscrossing the country to stop a madman before he kills again. As the body count rises and Maggie races against the clock to unmask the monster who's terrorising the nation's highways, she turns for help to a former foe who seems to have an uncanny knack for guessing what the killer's next move will be. But as she gets closer to finding the killer, it becomes eerily clear that Maggie is the ultimate target.

Critic Reviews:

"Rip-roaring action that only builds in intensity with every page." (Tess Gerritsen)

"O'Dell could be Reacher's long-lost twin." (Lee Child, international number-one best seller)

Members Reviews:

Gerald Hammond's books always a delight!

Having read all Gerald Hammond's previous books, I'm always ready for the next one. Every series is excellent, and the stand alones fun to read. Because of his early Keith Calder series, we traveled to Northumberland. I admire Hammond's virtuosity; every plot has an unexpected twist, and I learn about different occupations and personality types. The actual reading just rolls along; you're immediately put in the picture by his factual telling of the facts. The punch comes with the plot twists. His Honey Pot series about Honoria Laird, Detective Chief Inspector, is intriguing. I don't know where she'll end up next, even though this books is not primarily about her. Bunni Slater

You'll Want to Keep Awake Until You Get to the Last Page

Waking Patners is a sensational story only let down by the in solving of the mystery why didn't these characters mention this before factor and we could have avoided the whole scenario (although these scnarios were what made the book interesting). While not only being a great who did it investigation tale Waking Partners is also is a good business thriller in the tradition of Harry Bingham's masterpiece,The Money Makers.

In Waking Partners the owner of a leather goods manufacturing company, Aubrey Merryhill is found unconscious in his convertible which has rolled to a stop along a minor road. He has been the victim of a calous attempted murder which was never completed as he was found by another motorist shortly after the attack began but being in a coma won't be telling the police who did it, if he ever can at all. His being out of action and having a bit of a bimbo wife who has relied on him to do everyting means that one of his employees Paul Fletcher has to step up and take up the reins. Paul soon discovers that he has a natural talent for running a company and that Aubrey really wasn't very good at it at all. It is not long however before he finds out Aubrey was being bullied by the landlord (when that very landlord tries to bully him) and had made a few other enemies along the way as well. Paul and and a couple of his female staff along with the small town policeman set about trying to find out who really did attack Aubrey and why?

Hammond novels vary substantially from very very good, to very average. Other great Hammond reads areThe Dirty Dollar,The Snatch,On the WarpathandA Running Jump. If you like Hammond also check out British authors James Pattinson (not Patterson) and Christopher Nicole who write in a similar stlye.

Title: Crash

Narrator: Rupert Holiday-Evans

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins

Release date: 01-31-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Medical Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

A new novel from this master storyteller. One beautiful Scottish spring day, Julian Custer comes across the devastating scene of a very recent car crash. Only the passenger has survived : Delia Barrow is confused and badly injured; her name is all she can remember. It seems that Julian is all Delia has. Luckily, Julian is a solicitor, and so begins a voyage of discovery as they try to discover the identity of the passengers in the missing car....

Members Reviews:

Not a Bad Story But You Probably Won't Care Much for the Lead Character

Solicitor, Julian Custer is driving along a rural Scottish road in the Inverness area with his neighbour Grace behind him in her car. They come upon a serious car crash with Julian and Grace doing everything they can to save the driver as the car bursts into flames but fail. The female passenger had been flung from the car so the two keep her stable until the ambulance arrives. Since Julian has minor burns on his arms the police tell him to accompany the passenger in the same ambulance. Along the way she regains consciousness and learns from the paramedic that her travelling companion is a solicitor. Later Custer is told by the nurse the female passenger (Delia) is asking for him to come see her. Bored he does so and learns she has no identification as it all went up in the wreck, that she just arrived from New Zealand and that her brother and her were very rich after selling up back there. She needs him as a solicitor to get her access to the money. However she is a suspect in her brother's death but Custer believes in her innocence so sets about solving the accident and proving those responsible. Meanwhile another of Cluster's clients who incidentally he had planned on Delia staying in the hotel he owns has had valuable copper pipes ripped out of his walls but isn't 100% honest with the police so Cluster has this case to deal with as well, and now no where for Delia to live while she waits no access to her money.

The novel was all right but not in Hammond's best work category. Custer is an old fuddy duddy man who irritates the reader with his embarrassment at his female neighbour undressing in front of him and walking around in a towel. This weak character doesn't make the story flow smoothly.

Hammond novels vary substantially from very, very good, to very average. Other great Hammond reads areThe Dirty Dollar,The Snatch,On the WarpathandA Running Jump. If you like Hammond also check out British authors James Pattinson (not Patterson) and Christopher Nicole who write in a similar style.

Title: Cul De Sac

Author: Bradley Lewis

Narrator: Brandon McKernan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-14

Publisher: BBL Books

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Medical Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

Bradley Lewis delivers a high-stakes medical thriller with a plot that envelops consumer advocate Mark Einman in the often mysterious world of AIDS vaccine research. The nightmare begins when he receives his first anonymous threat the very day he visits Dr. Harry Ezralow, the world-renowned pediatric AIDS researcher. The hunt for information is on together with Mark's politically and socially famous wife Allie, placing the Einman's and their son Steven at mortal risk. The history of pediatric AIDS research is about to be rewritten, in a heart-stoppingly suspenseful story. Cul De Sac exposes the sometimes dark journey inside the complicated world of vaccine research, while digging deep into the myths across a political and business divide that at times is utterly alien to the people it purports to help. Cul De Sac is a work of magic that until now was missing from the literature of our generation, a medical thriller with an authentic Appendix that invites you inside a world that science has yet to conquer - a must for any reader of this genre.

Language: English

Dr. Felix Hoffmann is about to head home after a grueling night shift when he hears the words, This gun is loaded! Hoffmann, long accustomed to helping others on the verge of death, suddenly finds himself - along with several colleagues and patients - at the mercy of a deranged, blind kidnapper in the ICU.

Deploying his own distinctive brand of diplomacy - and his characteristic acerbic wit - Hoffmann tries to convince the man to end the standoff while he still can. As the hot summer days tick by and the tension builds toward the shocking climax, Hoffmann is forced to reconsider who is friend and who is foe. The question becomes not only whether he can save the lives of all involved, but what this crisis reveals about the people he thought he knew best.

Members Reviews:

Good, easy reading

I thought it was written in a funny way, with all the main character's faults and idiosyncrasies . The author uses his hospital background to good stead, in a way that shows doctors are ordinary people with their likes, dislikes and baddies among them. Spielberg does the translations well, the English flows smoother in this book than in earlier ones that were translated by someone else. I enjoyed his play on names of characters. The book reminded me of the First Ladies Detective Agency. I felt you got to know the main character. And he does work out who the baddy is and why.

I hope Scheinberg writes more of Dr Hoffmann books and they get put on kindle as well.

Another winner

This is the third story of Dr Hoffmann that I have read and enjoyed. The main character is a real, sensitive, hard-working Doctor, who is not prepared to "tow the hospital line" when it comes to his patients lives - and deaths.

The Fourth Day finds Dr Hoffmann in ICU just before his shift ends after night duty. A clearly upset man and his dog arrive, with threats, a gun and explosives demanding answers to questions Dr Hoffmann does not have - yet.

Four days of fear, uncertainty and a "boss" who wants the limelight but is definitely hiding something shady makes for a highly entertaining and thoughtful read.

I want MORE

Oh my goodness...I would that there were more in this short series. I liked the characters, the plot, the fast read...really a great bunch of books. I've bought them all and can't wait to see if there will be more in the future.

Another great Dr Hoffmann story

The Dr. Hoffmann mysteries were all written in German. I don't know how many of them there are, but the four that have been translated to English are outstanding. They give insight into the inner workings of a Berlin hospital, and at the same time the throw well written mystery into the mix.

Can't wait for more translations.

Holds your interest

You are reading and the whole time you are trying to figure out where the plot is going. Just when you think you've figured it out, things take a major left turn. Also during this time you keep wondering why he wants a relationship with the original girl in the first book. It really keeps you guessing.

Title: My Son, the Druggist

Author: Marvin Kaye

Narrator: Anthony Haden Salerno

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Oi Vey!

Was Marty Gold ever up to his mezuzah in Jewish Mother, Yiddishe guilt ... and murder. Yes, Ida Gold's own son, the druggist, had refilled Mrs. Beatrice Fenimore's prescription for Darvon just the day she had died from a severe reaction to sterazolidin. A deadly little allergy that, as her apothecary, Marty Gold was only too well aware of.

And when her will is read, and Marty Gold is named as one of the chief beneficiaries, the possibility of a professional error quickly takes back seat to a murder charge. Until Marty Gold is felled by a somewhat more common anaphylaxis ... a slight sensitivity to bullets! A funny, often touching portrayal of a good-hearted, amateur sleuth.

Members Reviews:

The First in a Series

I love to read books that are first in series to see if I want to continue following the character. This one failed to draw my interest in either the characters or the story line. Perhaps you have to be more aware of Yiddish sayings than I am to understand what's going on. I also found a number of the story lines nonsensical.
