Title: The Night Boat

Author: Robert McCammon

Narrator: Ray Porter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-10-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 85 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

The Night Boat, Robert McCammon's third published novel, first appeared as a paperback original in 1980. Following on the heels of Baal and Bethany's Sin, it offered further proof that a writer of great narrative power and limitless potential - a writer who would achieve a significant position in modern popular fiction--had arrived.

The story begins with a vividly written prologue in which a German U-boat--sometimes known as an 'Iron Coffin'--attacks an unsuspecting merchant vessel, and is itself attacked by a pair of Allied sub chasers. The action then shifts to the present day and to the idyllic Caribbean island of Coquina, where life is about to change in unimaginable ways. David Moore, a young man with a tragic and haunted past, is skin-diving in the waters off Coquina, searching for the salvageable remnants of shipwrecks. He accidentally detonates a long-unexploded depth charge, uncovering and releasing a submarine that has lain beneath those waters, virtually intact, for decades. The battered vessel that rises to the surface contains a bizarre and terrifying cargo that will transform a once peaceful island into a landscape of unrelenting nightmare.

The Night Boat is a story of cannibalism, ancient voodoo curses, and shambling, undead entities filled with a bottomless rage and an equally bottomless hunger. But it is also the story of a past that refuses to die, that lies in wait just beneath the surface of the unsuspecting present. Furiously paced and viscerally frightening, this horrific early gem is both an outstanding entertainment in its own right and a harbinger of the masterpieces to come.

Mix of John Carpenter's THE FOG & Dawn of the Dead

What made the experience of listening to The Night Boat the most enjoyable?

I read the boat more than 20 years ago & have always had a fondness for it. To hear it was like listening to a movie. First time I read it, I loved it. Reminded me of the 1979 film The Fog by John Carpenter, Then you see the zombie side come out in the story. This novel should be turned into a movie.

Classic McCammon

This classic horror novel and was well narrated and quite enjoyable. If you are fan of McCammon, give this a listen.

Love that Robert McCammon!!

Really easy to listen to! Ray Porter has a talent for voices! He dix a splendid job switching between people with different Caribean & Jamaiican accents. I really thought there were several people talking into the mike! Great job, Ray!!

NOT THE BEST!!!

I love Robert McCammon but however this book was good at times and slow in others. It seemed like i just wanted to finish the book as quick as possible. A lot of the parts just seemed so far fetched and could have gone in a better direction but then again i don't write books. Maybe this book is just a re-read.

Like a 1980's horror movie.

Any additional comments?

This is a very forgettable horror novel from the early 80's. However, it was written by the great Robert McCammon who has wrote some of my favorite books. I only listened to this because I'm trying to get through the entire McCammon library. While I can't recommend this book in particular, I want to implore people to check out some of McCammon's other work. So, instead of a review of The Night Boat, I'm going to make this a Robert McCammon Review.

I first discovered McCammon when I read Swan Song (a post appocalyptic book) and loved it.

Publisher's Summary:

Moving from Wisconsin to sunny Los Angeles was the frosting on the cake of Annie Graceland's perfect life. Her boutique bakery business was blossoming and she was happily married to a handsome, ambitious actor. The only thing that got Annie in serious trouble was her smidge of psychic ability: feeling other people's sensations in her own body. She hated experiencing someone else's peanut butter addiction, foot fetish, or murderous rage. Thank God, her psychic curse only kicked in when she was stressed!

Annie discovers her husband is cheating with a famous self-help author. When the scribe ends up dead, poisoned with one of Annie's signature cupcakes, she becomes a murder suspect. Even worse, when his ghost doesn't pass to the Afterlife, he haunts Annie to find his killer.

Now she's stuck with the most irritating ghost in the world, and forced to infiltrate the lives of Hollywood's elite; the motley crew of suspects who wanted the know-it-all author dead. Can Annie solve the crime before she is whacked by the real killer?

Members Reviews:

Lot of promise

This book has a lot going for it, however the writing style left me confused and irritated. Jerky and jumped around.

A cozy, simple and yet worthwhile... it's cute.

If you're needing something to listen to while not having to give it your 100% attention while, let's say, multi-tasking and year end sorting... it's perfect. Cute story.

Great except for the screaming

I liked the story. However, I did not like how the narrator screamed half the book. She gave several of the characters a harshness that I don't feel was entirely warranted given the story. She made them sound snarky & pissed off for much of the book. I got sick of having her scream in my ears & almost stopped listening because of it.

Please don't screech... It's painful on the ears

What didnt you like about Celia Aurora de Blass performance?

Her high pitched squels are too painful to listen to.

Could you see Cupcakes, Lies, and Dead Guys: An Annie Graceland Cozy Mystery, Book 1 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It would be cute ... along the same lines a Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2 1/2 Stars.

boring book

I couldn't wait for the book to end. thwe narrator was very monotone. will. not listen to anything else she does

Publisher's Summary:

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of the The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore, book four in the heartstopping Lorien Lagacies series. Read by Neil Kaplan, Marisol Ramirez, and Liam Aiken.

I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians. And we would win. But I was wrong. Even though we have come together, we barely escaped from them with our lives. And now we're in hiding, figuring out our next move. The six of us are powerful - but not strong enough to take on their entire army. We haven't discovered the full extent of our Legacies. We haven't learned to work together. Time is running out, and there's only one thing we know for certain: We need to find Number Five before they do.

Members Reviews:

Frustration

Where does The Fall of Five rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This series definitely commanded my attention throughout but these books cannot stand alone as a book in its own right. if you haven't read the previous book, nor be able to read the following book, it is but just a chapter...

What about the narratorss performance did you like?

The narrators are great with each character having their own narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nope

Any additional comments?

For some reason, the rest of the series is not available in the South African Audible store which drives me to insanity. Audible needs to take a serious look at what they publish in their regional stores. As a five year plus client I am am left frustrated not being able to complete the series.

A great "twist" in the tale for this series

Any additional comments?

I hope this is not the last book in this series as I really enjoyed such a great read.

The author has a great style of writing and this series could be read by all generations and enjoyed.

Put more Lorien on audible

I love the Lorien legacies books - granted I know they may feel they lost their way a little up until the end of this book but I promise - stick with it - the next two books are brilliant.

I like the relationship development in this book, that you are able to see so many of the characters get to know each other and start to come into their own a bit more ready for the next instalments (trying not to plot spoil at all)

I also really like Neil Kaplan as a reader but also that other voices are used as well.

HOWEVER - the next two books do exist as audiobooks - you can buy them on the US audible and you can buy them on Amazon as CDs so why can't we buy them as audiobooks? I have written to audible about this (insomniac so I listen to stories I have read to rest and like particular narrators like Stephen fry for instance. Neil Kaplan has become one of them.) please add the next titles.

good book to short

really good series can't wait till next book to be realised good for old and youge

Dr. Alan Gregory is a practicing psychologist with a few little problems to work through. He has an office filled with bloody corpses. He has a teenage patient who may be a sad victim or a savage killer. He has a beautiful estranged wife who wants him back in the worst way, and a lovely lover doing her best to keep him. He has a cop who wants him off the case, and an unknown enemy who wants him permanently out of action. To round out his many dilemmas, the list of suspects reads like a Who's Who of his posh Colorado community. And as a Rocky Mountain winter wonderland is swept by a nightmare blizzard of evil, secret sins leave a trail of blood leading to their hiding place deep in the heart and mind of a monstrous murderer...

Members Reviews:

Oldie but goodie...

A trip to the past, which demonstrates once again how really, really, good the early Stephen White books were, as compared to the last ones, which are eminently forgettable, to put it kindly. .

This one was published in 1992, the second of White's 20 ( I think) books, all but one or two of which feature Dr. Alan Gregory, Boulder, CO, psychologist supreme. Aside from some funniness about cell phone technology, the book doesn't seem dated at all. It's as fresh and captivating as when I read it the first time many years ago.

All of the well known characters are here -- Sam Purdy, the curmudgeonly police officer with the Iron-Range accent; the lovely but suffering with multiple sclerosis attorney Lauren Crowder, with whom Alan has, at this point, only a 'dating' relationship; Marion, Alan's bitchy and conniving first wife (aren't all first wives bitchy, devious and conniving?); Diane, Gregory's business partner, who's married to a wealthy Cuban ex pat; and next door neighbor Adrienne, a diminutive female urologist who never fails to get the best laugh lines in the book -- delivered in a pretty bad Jewish/Brooklyn accent by narrator Dick Hill, which doesn't seem to grate when Hill does it. It just comes off as endearing.

And then there are the crazy patients, although the ever-proper Dr. Alan would surely never refer to them that way. Nutty though they are, Gregory never looks down on them -- he might get bored, but he'll never be critical. In fact, if you were to go to Dr. Gregory for therapy, you would know two things for sure: 1. No matter what, no matter what kind of death threat, blackmail or other threatened calamity would occur, Dr. Gregory would never, ever, betray even the existence of a client, let alone what ails him or her. "Patient confidentiality" is a constant thread running through all these books, too much so at times, but fine in this early installment. And 2. You'd know that no matter what kind of crazy situation you got yourself into -- tied up and left to die by a madman, locked into a burning house, tortured then abandoned to the elements somewhere -- Dr. Gregory, in person, would show up to rescue you. It's the one way you know these books are fiction.

This was a good book -- hated to see it end, but then one can always listen again. And again.

First experience with author and narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

That's an awkward question.

Would you be willing to try another book from Stephen White? Why or why not?

It seems to me that his question presupposes that I didn't like the book.

Title: Cold Comfort

Subtitle: Gunnhildur Mystery, Book 2

Author: Quentin Bates

Narrator: Mel Hudson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Detective Gunnhildur sets to investigate two seemingly separate cases, but uncovers some disturbing links. Top class crime writing set in Icleand. Following her promotion and working now from Reykjavik, Gunnhildur is given responsibility for two cases - the first in tracking down an escaped convict who's keen to settle old scores, and the other, the murder of a TV fitness presenter in her city centre apartment.

With the police short staffed and underfunded following the financial crash, Gunnhildur and her team set about delving into the backgrounds of both, where they uncover some unwelcome secrets and some influential friends of both who have no wish to be in the public eye. Set in an Iceland that is coming to terms with the deepening recession, Gunnhildur has to take stock of the whirlwind changes that have taken place as she investigates criminals at opposite ends of the social scale as some uncomfortable links appear between the two cases.

Critic Reviews:

'Superior crime fiction set in Iceland... this is a well constructed, well written and satisfying police procedural.' (Marcel Berlins, The Times)

Praise for Frozen Out: 'A meticulously constructed thriller, peopled with exceptionally convincing characters and shot through with black humour. Frozen Out is as chilling as an Icelandic winter.' (S.J. Bolton)

'[A] crackling fiction debut ... palpable authenticity.' (Publishers Weekly)

'British author Bates captures the chilly spirit of Nordic crime fiction in what is the apparent start of a promising series with a distinctly appealing protagonist. Fans of Arnaldur Indridason's Reykjavík mysteries will want to add Bates to their reading lists.' (Booklist)

'Gunna is an admirable protagonist: sensible, intelligent and determined....I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can recommend it very highly as a flying start to what seems to be shaping up to be a superb new series.' (Eurocrime.)

'Well written and absorbing.' (Women's Voice)

Members Reviews:

Good Story, but those Islandic Names!

Good story and character development, but those names! They could have helped us lame English speaking folk by replacing the names in the audible version with Greta, Lars and Gunthur. I basically could only keep track of one or two characters by name.

Good story - good narration

I do think that the narrator makes a vast difference to one's enjoyment of a book, Mel Hudson is excellent.

Another good story - albeit very complicated trying to get my head around the who and why. I just love Gunnhildur, she is patient and tolerant but can come back with a witty/caustic response when necessary.

Title: Dirty Story

Subtitle: Arthur Abdel Series, Book 2

Author: Eric Ambler

Narrator: Gareth Armstrong

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-02-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Eric Ambler reprises his greatest character, Arthur Abdel Simpson from Light of Day (aka Topkapi), in an entirely new adventure set in the heart of Africa. Simpson, anti-hero and general cad is up against it again - 'it' being the injustice of life in general. Passport shopping, responsibility-avoiding, and general dodginess ensue. Another great yarn from master thriller writer Eric Ambler whom Graham Greene noted was unquestionably our best thriller writer.

Eric Ambler was born into a family of entertainers and in his early years helped out as a puppeteer. However, he initially chose engineering as a full time career, although this quickly gave way to writing. In World War II he entered the army and looked likely to fight in the line, but was soon after commissioned and ended the war as assistant director of the army film unit and a Lieutenant-Colonel. This experience translated into civilian life and Ambler had a very successful career as a screen writer, receiving an Academy Award for his work on The Cruel Sea by Nicolas Monsarrat in 1953. Many of his own works have been filmed, the most famous probably being Light of Day, filmed as Topkapi under which title it is now published. He established a reputation as a thriller writer of extraordinary depth and originality and received many other accolades during his lifetime, including two Edgar Awards from The Mystery Writers of America (best novel for Topkapi and best biographical work for Here Lies Eric Ambler), and two Gold Dagger Awards from the Crime Writer's Association (Passage of Arms and The Levanter). Often credited as being the inventor of the modern political thriller, John Le Carre once described Ambler as 'the source on which we all draw.' A recurring theme in his works is the success of the well-meaning yet somewhat bungling amateur who triumphs in the face of both adversity and hardened professionals. Ambler wrote under his own name and also during the 1950's a series of novels as Eliot Reed, with Charles Rhodda. These are now published under the 'Ambler' umbrella.

review

excellent, a must read. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys a suspense novel that is clean and concise.

Inconsistent protagonist; unbelievable twist.

I found this novel marred by the inconsistency of the lead character, Mia Quinn. On the one hand, she's supposed to be an intelligent investigator/prosecutor; on the other hand, she often acts impulsively and childishly, especially in her encounters with men. It seemed as if the author couldn't make up her mind whether she was writing for young adults or for a more mature audience. Finally, I found the final twist somewhat unbelievable and out of character. Enough said without spoiling the story.... I don't think I'll read others in this series.

What saved the book for me was the reader, Eleni Pappageorge, who was very good.

wished for a better ending

I wish that the woman would have went to a training course and then get herself a gun she could of stopped several situations. it is unrealistic that she did not make the decision that she needed to have a gun for defense and to protect her family. that would have been a good ending.

Excellent mystery!!

Love it :) a mystery that will keep you in the edge of your seat with its twists and turns. Like the way Lise tackles teenage bulling and teen homelessness - great read!

Prosecuting mom mystery

A MATTER OF TRUST by Lis Wiehl--Prosecutor, Mia Quinn, is a new widow with a teen-aged son and a four year old daughter. While talking on the phone to her best friend in the office, Coleen, Mia hears a shot then nothing but strange breathing from Coleen. Coleen's death resembles another prosecutor's death from many years ago. Mia and detective Charlie Carlson are teamed up to investigate the possible connection between these two deaths. But having a teen-aged son can cause problems of in itself.

I liked the interaction of all the characters in this book. The problems and situations were very realistic. Wiehl was able to follow three cases seamlessly and interestingly within this one story. Great start for a new mystery series! I listened to this on Audible and found it added to the enjoyment of this book.

Members Reviews:

Starts well, turns tedious.

The first few tales are interesting, well performed, and well written. I understand why people are fans, it's a quite interesting mix of near future adventure with touches of sci-fi. The first half is a good listen, with good voice performance. And then...

I must warn you to, forget the last story which starts with Rackham going after a bounty at a race track, then turns into the worst most tedious bore fest you've ever heard. Even a talented voice performance by Mr. Tatum couldn't hide the boredom he must have felt in the booth. Think Tom Clancy's most self indulgent sections on every minor detail of weapons specification and translate it into minute by minute nuclear war survivors guide produced by a civil defense captain from 1953. Where's the story? Where is the tension? And why are the parts where there IS story and tension, so quickly disposed of just so we can spend interminable time learning how to fashion a makeshift air filter and what to do with human waste? No. Just no.

Entertaining with interesting Plot

A unique book that started a bit slow but finished well. Character development was decent, and I imagined a brief nod to Z for Zachariah with the man in the silver radiation suit. Worth the read - and probably a second.

Members Reviews:

Love, love, love this series!!

Would you listen to Against the Odds again? Why?

Absolutely - the plot was interesting and the characters were well written.

Any additional comments?

One of the main things I really like about this series, is that although the characters are connected, each story is it's own and doesn't depend on the other books to build the story. To me, this series gets better with each book - that's the mark of a keeper!

Same Story Different Day

Although Kat seems to be stuck on boys meets girl, boy girl decide to not love, boy and girl fall hopelessly in love - she still tells a great story. I kept holding my breath waiting for the next twist and being surprised when it happened. I have enjoyed all in this series to this point and are planning to enjoy the next ones. Waiting for Kat to extend the Brodie series, I am sure the couples or all of the brothers can find trouble and intrigue.

Kat Martin's series " The Raines of Wind Canyon"

Would you listen to Against the Odds again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to the entire series again, all 7 books. Beautiful romances & stories which leave you wanting to know more of the relationship of these former Marines. The books were filled with mystery, investigations and new romances.

Have you listened to any of Jack Garretts other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to many of Jack Garrett's performances, such as all the books by Linda Miller that he performs for, and I have many more in my library, that I am eager to hear.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

lots of smiles and a few teary eyes at time, but it was a wonderful read.

Any additional comments?

I hope Kat Martin is not finished with this series, I would love to hear more...and narriated by Jack Garrett, of course.
