Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

short, fast, enjoyable read.

Zachary Quinto has an easy-listening voice, but he doesn't differentiate much between characters. All-in-all, I recommend this audio book

To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most 60-year-old widowers don't have multiple driver's licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run.

i finished this "read" about 2 months ago, and waited to write this review to see if time would change my opinion. it has not. i was in love with this story and thoroughly enjoying the characters and their plights. then, the last part of the story and one of the characters is given a thoughtless, quickie, unbelievable ending to the story line. it negatively impacted how i felt about the entire novel. why in the world would the author create an unnecessary backstory at that point?

When Dan McCarthy stumbles upon a folder containing evidence of the conspiracy to end all conspiracies - a top-level alien cover-up - he leaks the files without a second thought. The incredible truth revealed by Dan's leak immediately captures the public's imagination, but Dan's relentless commitment to exposing the cover-up and forcing disclosure quickly earns him some enemies in high places.

Life is not easy for the poor relations of England’s upper crust, but fate and clever schemes bring them together. Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst hatch a plan: What if they were to transform her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering their guests the pleasure of being waited upon by nobility? With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats, they do just that, and London’s newest hotel, The Poor Relation, is born. The establishment is an immediate hit with London’s most illustrious citizens, save the Duke of Rowcester....

Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.

Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

NOT MY KIND OF STORY
Revisado: 05-08-17
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
generally read a thriller or a murder mystery. i picked this book because it had so many outstanding reviews, including one from Stephen King.
What was most disappointing about Neil Gaiman’s story?
I want a book that makes me want to finish it. this one didn't. I finished it only because I'd paid for it.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
some parts were very clever. fantasy.

Sebastien Ranes’s single mom and her feckless boyfriend can’t be bothered to take care of a stuttering 12-year-old. Banished to live with his grandmother on the far side of the country, the boy can barely understand a bus schedule when he gets dumped at the Greyhound station in Stockton, California. Given $35 and a one-way ticket to Altoona, Pennsylvania, Sebastien must cross the country - alone, without a clue how to fend for himself. Filled with youthful anger and naïveté, Sebastien heads out into the "Morning in America" of Ronald Reagan’s 1980s.

Something happened that night in the woods at Camp Red Hawk. But all Joel and Leah can recall is sneaking out for a late hike with five camp friends and that only the two of them and their friend Mike returned. They have no memory of what happened to the others. No memory of anything after leaving the camp. In the years that follow, they realize something has changed inside of them. They are different from others in ways they never should be. In ways that send their lives down disturbing and terrifying paths.

bought this book because of the ravingly great reviews. started it and thought this is NOT for me. i enjoy a book with lots of dialogue, this one has lots and lots of narration. continued to read it in spurts and starts. halfway thru, it captured me and my imagination. from that point to the end, it was a 5 star read.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
i read this book several years ago, and also saw the movie, so there were no plot surprises. i am a michael crichton fan, and as such, totally enjoyed this reading.

4 star rating for narrator might be a little harsh. most characters were male. at times i had difficulty keeping track of who was spoeaking
