Publisher's Summary:

A hundred years after the world is decimated by nuclear wars, humanity has been reduced to a surviving city of people called Mainlanders. They have food, water, and a wall that separates them from their enemies - the Outlanders.

Branded as savages, the Outlanders have grown in number and their attacks against the city have become more brutal. Increasingly, they threaten to overtake the city, bringing with them the doom and destruction that has plagued mankind for over a century. What the Mainlanders need is a weapon.

Des is the first robot created with a full range of human emotions. His reasoning skills and thought processes will make it so no human will ever have to step foot on the battlefield again. But when Des realizes his true purpose - to help destroy the Outlanders - he suspects that the real enemies might not be the people he was built to destroy, but those who created him.

Fear is Power

Jason D. Morrow takes you into a story where the world after a nuclear war has devastated the earth and only a few million survive. But they are not without. Technology is still a key asset and the development of robots is a must for survival. With a simple, but not lacking, plot, Morrow does well to intrigue the reader but not put them off with crazy jargon and unbelievable narrative. The characters were well developed and the relationships and emotions unique.

Narrator James Foster delivered a solid performance. His easy going narration and honest character voices were truly enjoyable.

Overall, a great and captivating read. I would recommend this to all.

This audiobook was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this!!!

There seems to be a lot of robot books popping up lately but I'm so glad I started with this one. It. Was. Awesome!!!

Prototype D is about a girl, Hazel, who programmes robots with intelligence and a range of human emotions. Prototype D is one such Robot. It starts with Robot D thrown into a simulation to test his abilities, but the commander of the army isn't happy that Prototype D can feel fear and he wants the programmer to eradicate fear in the robots so that they can kill the outlanders. Hazel doesn't want to do it but doesn't have a choice either, thus Prototype E is born. He is the ultimate weapon but Hazel isn't happy because she learns some astounding news about the outlanders. They aren't how they are portrayed to the mainanders. How can her and Prototype D stop the ultimate robot?

I loved Prototype D, aka Des. He battles with his feelings but with a robot attitude. I absolutely loved seeing the story through his POV as well. We also get to see it through Prototype E POV, which is completely different than Des. Des seems more human but E is all robot.

The plot was fast paced and entertaining. Right from the start we are drawn into book and not let go till the end, even then, you don't want it to end. I really hope we see more from these characters, robots included, soon!!

In all, an engaging and addictive read. The world building was amazing, as was the character development. I need to check out the authors other books!

James Foster is one of my favourite narrators. He has such an amazing range of tones and voices and he always does a flawless performance. His voice is easy to listen to and he always draws me into the story.

Publisher's Summary:

Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two. Octavian, Caesar's ambitious great-nephew and adopted son, vies with Marc Antony and Cleopatra for control of Caesar's legacy. As civil war rages from Rome to Alexandria and vast armies and navies battle for supremacy, a secret conflict may shape the course of history.

Juba, Numidian prince and adopted brother of Octavian, has embarked on a ruthless quest for the Shards of Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of the gods - or the one God. Driven by vengeance, Juba has already attained the fabled Trident of Poseidon, which may also be the staff once wielded by Moses. Now he will stop at nothing to obtain the other Shards, even if it means burning the entire world to the ground.

Caught up in these cataclysmic events and the hunt for the Shards are a pair of exiled Roman legionnaires, a Greek librarian of uncertain loyalties, assassins, spies, slaves...and the 10-year-old daughter of Cleopatra herself.

Michael Livingston's The Shards of Heaven reveals the hidden magic behind the history we know and commences a war greater than any mere mortal battle.

Members Reviews:

Suspenseful, intriguing adventure in the Roman Empire!

One of the best books I've read all year. For a debut novel, it is fantastic. If you love history and fantasy, and if you've always wondered about the existence of God or whether Cleopatra was a cool chick or not, this is the book for you. Two thumbs up!

and I enjoyed it so much that I had to buy several ...

I was hooked from the first page, and couldn't put it down until I got caught reading it at work. The interlacing storylines and intriguing characters kept me glued to the pages, and I enjoyed it so much that I had to buy several copies to gift to friends. The Praetorians' story line was definitely my favorite. I can't wait for the next book!

I loved the action

I loved the action, suspense, intrigue, character development, strong female characters, impeccable grammar, and the interweaving of history, fantasy, and religious contemplation (by some of the characters) -- definitely a page turner!

Excellent read!

I loved the weaving of historical and fantasy. The factual background really helped to make the story come alive for me. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

History seasoned with magic

This is an exquisite merging of history and fantasy. The author, who previously has had only short fiction published, is an associate professor specializing in the middle ages.

The book's in three parts: The trident of Poseidon, The Battle of Actium, and The fall of Egypt. I recommend reading one part at a time and let it soak in before starting the next part. It is quite heavy on the history, starting immediately after the assassination of Julius Ceasar. While Mark Anthony and Cleopatra are characters in the book, the main characters have names of real people who are mentioned in historical records, a couple of whom very little is known. A glossary at the end of the book tells us what is known about the characters while also listing the very minor characters who are unknown to history.

The writing style tends to be a bit professorial and I actually liked that. There's lots of narrative here, and less dialogue than you'll find in most novels.

The Gray Panthers enlist the services of Matt Andrews and his team of crack flyers, "Matt's Marauders". Their mission: to fly captured fighters deep in enemy space from a captured raider to buy Earth time as defenses are built up and the fleet increases in anticipation for the looming invasion.

An enjoyable listen.

Well paced and but not a hard science kinda book. But fun all the same.

Better than #1

This book was better than the first in the series. I would actually recommend skipping the first. The writing is still simplistic and stilted. the characters still lack depth and are more archetypes than fleshed out people that you care about. Thankfully most of the mysogyny is gone and the description of events is more detailed.

A few things really grated though, the use of the full name of the space ships, constantly. In a communication from one ship in a fleet to another in the second fleet it is completely unnecessary to say, "Arizona Space Ship Nike" Nike will suffice, or ASS Nike. If you don't want to call all your ships ASS, then Don't it is your book! make them from somewhere else. it got incredibly annoying. The second thing, was power. The batteries for their laser guns were "solar powered and would recharge in 5 to 8 minutes. but could blast a 3 foot wide 100 foot long channel in rock. If you are going to write Science fiction then do some basic science. Third, they mention leaving the galaxy for the second time ever but they have only gone 120 light years. Solar system is the word you wanted.

The reader mispronounced quite a few words that he should really not have. Like the name of the crater on the moon, and letters of Marque.

I won't be reading the rest of this series. it did get better but not nearly enough, and I honestly don't care about any of the characters enough to read further.

Dixie's Revenge 2 !

Where does Gray Panthers: Earth's Revenge rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It ranks very high in my list of books I have read + listened too !!

What did you like best about this story?

The whole story, is a truly awesome adventure !!

What about Liam Owens performance did you like?

Liam Owen, has added great voices to each character !! He is very gifted !!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The South has risen, again !!!

pretty good but...

I found a few times story was hard to follow. I still enjoyed this book and narrator was good.

Liked it !!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I am a though audience to please when it comes to sci-fi and this audiobook was a pleasant surprise for me. It is highly entertaining, very well written with developed and likeable characters. The story goes wide and other characters (beside Dan Daniels) also take leading roles in certain parts of the book.

As the first days of the end of humanity tumble across the city of Las Vegas in the form of an overwhelming viral infection, turning almost everyone into vampire-like creatures, April Tate will find out what it really means to survive. What does it take to make it out alive in a place where everything is but a withered echo of its former self and death does not come willingly?

Members Reviews:

Glad I've read the rest of the series...

Honestly, the first 2 or three chapters had me thinking "My God she's a brat!" However, since this is a short story AND a prequel, I kept listening... And I realized that April's reactions and attitude are actually very believable for how suddenly the outbreak occurs and how fast it moves.

I really enjoyed the narrator's voice and performance! She really put feeling into it, and her male voices were some of the best I've heard!

Nice short story with decent action, and it does actually add a bit of resonance (see what I did there?!) to the main character. I will now be listening to the original series, so that I can enjoy the story in a whole new way.

Unique

I loved this book.The author did a wonderful job at world building and creating well developed and relatable characters.Alexia Purdy developed a unique story with frightening vampires and a strong young female fighting to survive and protect her loved ones. The narrator did an amazing job portraying the story and has a very pleasant voice.I stayed up late so I could finish this audiobook.I have already downloaded the next book in the series on my audible app to listen to on my lunch break.

Resonant

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

Yes! Once it started you had to see how it played out!

Any additional comments?

This was a fun start to the series. Its hard to believe that a young girl has to be such an adult. I don't know many that would think of dental care ect. during a time like this. And yet she is so brave. I cant wait to get started on the next book in this series!

In The Beginning Of The End

Would you listen to Resonant again? Why?

Yes! It was a very fun listening experience and I LOVE this series! I will most likely both read this and listen to this again :)

Who was your favorite character and why?

April is my favorite because she is so strong and inviolate! She will let nothing get in the way of her survival. And she does the best she can to take care of her family. She is always looking for new and better ways to survive as well as new and better ways to kill the feral vampires that threaten their continued existence! She is amazing and awe inspiring :)

What does Anne Marie Susan Silvey bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

She truly brings out April's snark, Jeremy's innocent curiosity, and their mother's inherent inner weakness! It is truly an immersive experience :)

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Resonant : Rise Of The Zompires

Any additional comments?

This series must be listened to (or read) in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to listen to Reign Of Blood!

April is a survivor. First she survived her father's death. Then she survived her mom starting up with Randy. She even survived Randy trying to replace her dead father... So far.

great military sci-fi

Great book, no annoying women characters, solid military sci-fi. The invented background is a little odd but the characters and human factions are what makes the book great.

Enjoyable

Not much of a back story so it's hard to follow the political intrigues and motivations but the armoured combat scenes were engrossing

You ruined this.book

Great story. Horrible narration.

It truly is unbelievable how bad the quality of the narration is. I believe it's a person trying to sound like a program. It's truly unbearable. Please listen to the sample before purchasing this audio book.

Couldnt get past the narration

The story is good. Set in the GI Joe universe; has the characters I know . The narration is horrible though. It almost sounds like a mechanical/ computer voice.

My kids love this book!

My kids listen to this book almost everyday while playing with their G.I. Joe dolls. This book has a great story line to it. The narrator makes the scenes in the movie come alive. Highly recommend to anyone who has a fascination with G.I. Joe or action audiobooks.

My kids loved this audiobook!

What made the experience of listening to G.I. Joe: Worlds Without End the Return Episode 1: Breach the most enjoyable?

My kids enjoyed it the most because they could relate to each and every character with their own GI JOE toys. The narrator did a great job at narrating this kid's book!

If Reith was ever to obtain human aid in returning to Earth, where better than Cath? If only he could get there...

Members Reviews:

Younger adult sci-if.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The book starts out very well. The middle and end are rough. I like books with some struggles. I do not like it when everything conveniently falls into place. More descriptions would be nice as well.

Which character as performed by Luke Daniels was your favorite?

Denver. He is very upbeat, despite how he was raised.

Did Critical Dawn inspire you to do anything?

No. I do not think I will pursue the series.

Any additional comments?

I think the series has/had great potential. I just think it is geared more towards a younger audience. It is an easy listen and not too many dynamic characters, that you can't keep track of them.

Maybe

Maybe book 2 will be better. Having the first part end so abruptly lest me wondering what happened. Answered in a way but much later. Maybe character development will be better, too.

Waiting for book 2!

5 star story, innovative and moves fast. Luke Daniels was awesome as usual. Where is # 2? Can not wait!

Language challenged

Very interested premise. Had me hooked.... but it turns out Wearmouth is another one of those writers who thinks *everybody* f-bombs multiple times in *every* conversation (once you get a couple chapters in).

No, that's not realism. That's stupidism. Nobody I know talks like that. You can blame that on "well, you hang out with unusual people," but in the last half a dozen jobs nobody I worked with even talked like that. It wasn't considered professional or well mannered.

Realism might be a character or two who does that. It might even mean all the characters do occasionally under extreme stress. But everybody all the time?

In fairness to Wearmouth, this book happens to be about the fifth in a row that tortured me with sort of thing all the way through. I've had enough. Gettin' my effing credit back.

All over the place

This started off so well but devolved into cheesy horror war sci-fi. The author likes to head hop between characters and it got very distracting as you head hop not only between characters but through time. I felt cheated after the great first few chapters when the author takes us quickly into the post invasion era. Seeing the beginning of the invasion would certainly have been exciting. As it was this novel devolved into a bad war novel . No fun.

changing narators??????

story was good but the narrator change made it confusing to follow trying to re-establish voices for characters.

Not well written or performed

The first book in the series was much better, I couldn't finish this one... I do not recommend it.

Horrible performance

What would have made Desolator better?

Bring back the Mark Boyett. The new narrator was absolutely horrible and ruined the entire story....

I just cant do it anymore Artie...

What did you like best about Desolator? What did you like least?

It will be the last Vandyke/Sievers book I ever listen to. YEAH!!!

Would you recommend Desolator to your friends? Why or why not?

NO! The shark has been jumped with a dead horse.

Would you be willing to try another one of Artie Sieverss performances?

Never. His three voices he uses have finally worn through my last nerve.

Did Desolator inspire you to do anything?

End this series and never pick it back up again.

Any additional comments?

Got hooked on the plague wars with the prequel and loved it (when DJ gets the plague). The switch to Sievers really drags the entire series down. Bad voice acting, three voices, and takes characters with depth and flattens them out in to monolithic cutouts. I forced my way through the PW books as I like the story, through Artie's voice acting, and Jill's drop into being a mom, but this series is just beating a dead horse. You could say the shark has officially been jumped.

The series gets better as it continues.

Would you try another book from David VanDyke and/or Artie Sievers?

Artie is OK. Just OK. Why on earth they switched from Mark Boyett is beyond me. Mark is one of the best narrators out there. Mark Boyett, Sean Runnette, Michael Kramer, Luke Daniels, Dick Hill and Kate Reading are all in a league of their own. To give up Mark for Artie is just baffling.

If youve listened to books by David VanDyke before, how does this one compare?

I like the addition of new races.
