Absolutely riveting! E

This series is seriously so amazing. Every chapter keeps me wanting more. Looking forward to more books.

loved this

This second Book by Mr. Zuko was just as action packed as the first. Maybe even a little more intense because there was a woman with two small children trying to survive. Loved every minute of it.

good story, annoying characters

Great book, it's got a good story to keep you listening. My only problem was some characters were less than endearing to me. Leave it at if I were Jim I wouldn't have bothered coming home for the kids.

Live or Die!

I really enjoyed this audio. I love anything that has to do with zombies and I often feel like since The Walking Dead became a TV show that author's tend to not show appreciation where it's due. As I listened to author Chrissy Peebles take on zombies I was thrilled to hear The Walking Dead in her story. That showed me that she appreciates the author's who wrote that series. I really loved this story and I can't wait to learn what happens to Cal, if she lives, if she finds Sammie, Kyle, and gets back to her family. I probably didn't spell the names right, that's the one downside to audiobooks but it doesn't bother me. This is another amazing series that is a must have to add to your collection.

Narrator, Marian Hussey did an amazing job of her telling of the first story to this series. She had me glued to my seat from start to finish. I think she did a great job with distinguishing accents and voices of each character. A perfect performance and a story written to perfection. Overall, another 5 star rating!

Title: Los Angeles: A.D. 2017

Author: Philip Wylie

Narrator: Angelo Di Loreto

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

A stark and terrifying vision of an apocalyptic, environmentally ravaged near-future world from a 20th-century master of thought-provoking science fiction. In a writing career that spanned six decades, Philip Wylie created an astonishing body of work that ranged from science fiction to suspense to philosophy to social criticism while inspiring the creation of such iconic characters as Superman, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, and Travis McGee. In Los Angeles: A.D. 2017, based on Wylies own teleplay written for the hit 1970s TV series The Name of the Game, directed by a young Steven Spielberg, the author imagines a dystopian future in which environmental disaster has driven the remnants of humankind belowground. By the year 2017, a series of ecological catastrophes have eliminated most of the Earths population while destroying the America we once knew. The few who have survived live in underground bunkers beneath the ruins of the nations major cities, controlled by ruthless corporate entities that have remolded the devastated society into USA, Inc. This is the nightmare into which crusading magazine publisher Glenn Howard awakens after 40 years of sleep. As a powerful 20th-century entrepreneur, Howard is expected to join the elite. But in this dark future age, population numbers are strictly controlled by computer; the aged, infirm, and unproductive are mercilessly eliminated; and all dissent is punished by death. For an idealist like Howard, accepting the new status quo is unthinkable. But the alternative - working with a secret rebel committed to overthrowing the cruel corporate masters - could prove the most dangerous route of all, a path that leads inexorably to one unthinkable outcome: erasure.

one of the best shows about journalism ever made

Los Angeles: A.D. 2017 - Philip Wylieâs disturbing 1971 look at Trump World

If you mention Philip Wylie to an SF reader in the 21st Century, perhaps the only thing that might come to mind is âWhen Worlds Collide,â about the efforts to save a portion of humanity after an asteroid is detected coming our way. But the novelist and social critic was known for far more than that, including a little known novelization of his episode (directed by a young Steven Spielberg) of his episode for NBCâs The Name of the Game.

For those whose knowledge of past pop culture could fill a thimble, The Name of the Game was a highly regarded series about journalism, featuring a revolving cast of leads - Gene Barry, Robert Stack, and Tony Franciosa, a very talented man whose main claim to fame these days seems to be his self-destructive habits as an actor.

It was, quite simply, one of the best shows about journalism ever made.

I picked up the novel soon after seeing the episode on American Forces Television in Germany. Published by the wretched Popular Library, a paperback house infamous for the speed at which pages would literally fall out of the book after just one reading, it hasnât been reprinted. The copy I have before me now I found on Amazon a few months ago.

Enough back story! On with the main attraction . . .

Wylieâs novel, an expansion of his NOTG episode âL.A. 2017,â gives the author a chance to expand upon his theme of a world destroyed by pollution and corporate greed, two subjects which then, as now, go hand-in-glove.

Title: Lords of War

Subtitle: Star Crusades: Mercenaries, Book 1

Author: Michael G. Thomas

Narrator: Steven Morgan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-25-15

Publisher: Swordworks Books

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 30 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

Lords of War is the first novel in the best-selling Star Crusades: Mercenaries series that follows the violent struggles of the Alliance, mankind's first interstellar empire.

Spartan is a living legend, a veteran of the Alliance Marine Corps, victor of a multitude of military campaigns including the horrific Biomech War. He is both loved and reviled by friend and foe alike, and now lives out on the fringes of the Alliance. He has fought for money, for his people and for the very survival of his species, and lost everything in the process. But when two of his closest friends are captured supplying weapons to the desperate Byotai settlers of Karnak, the fight becomes personal.

The Great Biomech War left millions dead, colonies burned, and cities turned to ash. Millions more continue to endure in the harshest of conditions. The Alliance attempts to restore order, yet already new enemies have begun to strike at will, encouraged by their weakness. Border planets succumb to the raids of warlords, and many doubt how long the peace will last, after it was won at such cost.

Since the end of this war, Spartan and his friends have worked to create an elite fighting force based at Taxxu, for use by the Alliance. Using the latest high-energy weapons, armored fighting suits and a prototype Confederate-class warship, it will be a force unlike any the Alliance has seen before. Spartan will use this and every other asset at his disposal to save his friends. Nothing, not even the entire might of the invading Anicinàbe clans and their fearsome clan leaders, can stop him, even if it means starting his own private war.

Star Crusades: Mercenaries is the third Star Crusades series, and is set in the aftermath of the apocalyptic Biomech War. The war may have been won, but after nine long years the future still looks bleak. Entire planets remain devastated, and millions of citizens are homeless.

Lords of War stunk up the place more than the neighborhood skunk!

By the time "Audible hopes you've enjoyed this......." Gave us the friendly notice that the book was over, I was a drooling, dazed, walking dead that felt like I had been run over by a Mack truck. I have never listened to such a terrible narrator! From the opening syllables to the ending ringing in my ears, it was one long sentence done at breakneck speed with a monotone Extrodinare! I was so disappointed because the little intro laid out all the essentials for my kind of Sci Fi. Isn't there an editor who looks the books over before he turns them out?

play at .5 speed

story isn't bad...but the reader is so bad. I turned down playback to .5 and could follow. although sounds like a drunk read it then.

do not buy

naration was crap, couldn't tell you if the story was any good because of Steven Morgan's life ruining performan. I almost want to give up audible because they would put that out there

Talk's to fast

What would have made Lords of War better?

I was unable to follow the book due the how fast it was going. Even at 0.75 it was unfollowable.

Fire that narrator!!!

worst narrator ever...could only take in short doses...might have rated story highef if it had bdgtef narrator

Title: A Death at the Dionysus Club

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-15

Publisher: Lethe Press

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

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

Publisher's Summary:

In the sequel to Lambda Literary Award-winning Death by Silver, metaphysician Ned Mathey and private detective Julian Lynes again challenge magical and murderous threats in a Victorian London not quite the city in our history books.

Mathey is recruited by Scotland Yard to assist the new Metaphysical Crimes Squad in the case of a literally heartless corpse. Mathey soon discovers that the magic used to rob the man of his heart and life does not conform to the laws of modern metaphysics and then a second victim turns up. Meanwhile, a minor poet hires Lynes to track down and stop the blackmailer threatening to reveal him as the pseudonymous author of popular romances. When another target of the same blackmailer, a friend of Mathey's assistant Miss Frost, appeals for aid, Lynes and Mathey begin to suspect murders and blackmail are connected.

Digging deep into the clandestine worlds of lawless antique magic and the gay demimonde, Mathey and Lynes must uncover the source and nature of a heart-stealing supernatural creature before it can kill them too, even as they face the scandal of exposing themselves as sodomites in order to close the case.

Members Reviews:

An absolute cracking period murder mystery

A more worthy sequel to "Death by Silver" one could not imagine. Our two favorite sleuths are at it again with an even more intriguing case. Many of the same beloved characters return including the more than capable Ms. Frost and Inspector Hatton, now head of the newly formed metaphysical crimes squad. Our two gents will need all their wits and friends about them as they race against time to save their beloved London and even themselves from an evil terror conjured from unscrupulous and decidedly unsavory unsanctioned spell.

The narration was spot on, voicing characters so well I thought I was listening to a whole cast of actors. I highly recommend this Audible version of "Death at the Dionysus Club".

N.B. Until some substantial changes are made, I sadly must advise those listeners to avoid the first Audible book in this series, but do heartily suggest they read "Death by Silver"

I love this pair of detectives

The story combines detection with 'metaphysics': magic and murder in a fictional Victorian style London. The gay characters are exploring their relationship alongside their chase for a murderer taking people's hearts. It sounds odd, but works brilliantly. I really enjoyed it and would love more (I've read the previous book about Ned and Julian) I hope Griswold and Scott write another one soon! Other characters like Hatton, the police inspector, and 'Miss' Frost, the assistant, are interesting too. More of Frost would be great for the next book!

The one negative is the narrator's very odd pronunciation. I'm assuming he is trying for upper crust English, but there are some glaring errors! It's a shame because the differentiation of characters voices etc works well but the accent and pronunciation is very peculiar indeed!

Members Reviews:

I REALLY LIKE ADRIAN!

Where does Eden's Warriors rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Its a good story...

What other book might you compare Eden's Warriors to and why?

This more of a military based post apocalypse story...

Have you listened to any of Michael Hackers other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't, but I like him...I thought he did a good job, and was actually very relaxing to listen too!

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

I did laugh at the girls antics a few times, Adrian really empowered them!

Any additional comments?

**I was given a free copy of this book via audiobookblast in exchange for an honest review**

I really enjoyed the first half of this book, when Adrian finds the girls, and then tries to find them a home, realizing the home for girls was not what he though and ultimately liberating 16 young girls from a life of torture....I liked how he trained them and loved them and taught them to be independent...but they took it and ran with it...and that was actually kind of endearing..the last part of the book was kind of boring to me...very military based and at times it was a little much...I do like Adrian though...he rocks!!!

Good Story!

Takes the Eden books in another direction

The Eden books are good for what they are and this one is no exception. They give a story that is enjoyable and they out line skills and ideas that one needs to at least think about in an end of the current government situation.

The narrator is a little different than many others I have listen to on Audible but he brings that uniqueness to the Eden books and after the 4 book it is what I expect.

If you are interested at all about SHTF scenarios than I recommend this book it can be read by it's self but even better in order.

Book 4

Any additional comments?

The book was an ok read. Adrian's Rangers were just plain silly. These little girls who fancy themselves some kind of a Navy Seal unit I found to be just plain silly. They manage to sneak on an aircraft carrier and take the bridge from experienced Navy officers. Ridiculous. I almost stopped reading right there.The end battle was very anti-climactic. The author just sailed right through it in a couple pages.

Eden's Warriors review

Would you listen to Eden's Warriors again? Why?

Yes, it's really fantastic.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eden's Warriors?

The scene between Adrian and the man who had the girl.

Have you listened to any of Michael Hackers other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Any additional comments?

Received for an unbiased review.

Horrible narrator

The story is fine, a bit predictable at times but not bad.

Riepilogo Editore:

Robert Neville torna a casa dopo una giornata di duro lavoro. Cucina, pulisce, ascolta un disco, si siede in poltrona e legge un libro. Eppure la sua non è una vita normale. Soprattutto dopo il tramonto. Perché Neville è l'ultimo uomo sulla terra. L'ultimo umano sopravvissuto, in un mondo completamente popolato da vampiri. Nella solitudine che lo circonda, Robert esegue la sua missione, studia il fenomeno e le superstizioni che lo circondano, cerca nuove strade per lo sterminio delle creature delle tenebre.

Durante la notte se ne sta rintanato nella sua roccaforte, assediato dai morti viventi avidi del suo sangue. Ma con il sorgere del sole è lui a dominare un gioco crudele e di meccanica ferocia, scandito dalle luci e dalle ombre di un tempo sempre uguale a se stesso e che impone la ripetizione di un rituale sanguinario. In questo mondo Neville, con la sua unicità, si è già trasformato in leggenda.

Publisher's Summary:

The flies in the ointment. Once upon a time, the dying ruler of a small interstellar kingdom made a minor Old-Earth bureaucrat named Hobart Floyt the surprised inheritor of an interstellar spaceship. And that was wonderful, for in those days, when mankind was again expanding into the galaxy, a private spaceship was a license to coin credits. There were just a couple of minor problems. The dead ruler never told Floyt how to find the ship, the bureaucrats of Earth wanted the ship for themselves, and someone kept trying to murder Floyt and his friend, Alacrity Fitzhugh....

I really need some of those boots!

Any additional comments?

This is my least favorite of the three, but I still like it a lot! I am really sorry that Mr. Daley never wrote more of these. The characters take on a great deal more depth in this story, and there are some truly original ideas and situations to experience.

Would love to get my hands on a Brawley and those Pathfinder boots :)
