Historia
How do you stop an invasion force that just defeated the most powerful person on the planet? Chances are, you don’t. But the world’s greatest heroes and villains are going to team up and make their best attempt. After the Tuldarians—a race of dinosaur-like aliens—invade the Earth with overwhelming numbers of ships and soldiers, the world’s governments finally repeal the Anti-Vigilante Acts. Now, the masked crimefighters and criminals who haven’t been allowed to use their powers are being asked to fight to save humanity. And to think, I was just put in prison for just trying to be a good guy.

Cross circuit (Sean) definitely stole the show
Revisado: 04-29-25
I’m not sure who is the better writer here but there is clearly a very gifted writer and one that must be the idea person because there is a very noticeable difference from character to character (chapter to chapter) they have very clearly different styles. One uses phrases like, then he said… then this happens…. Next this happens… then this happens… then this happens. It gets very clunky. It feels a little amateurish. But then the next chapter everything flows very smoothly and the story draws you back in. Then it clearly goes back. Not saying the better content is in the more cleverly crafted chapters but there is a clear difference in writing styles. Sean in this book was by far my favorite character and had me laughing out loud at 2am in a quiet house. His condescending attitude and constant sarcasm is hilarious at times. This was my favorite of the series so far. Very action packed and exciting from start to finish. This series feels like it shares a lot of elements with Drew Hayes series “Villains Guild- Forging Hephaestus” unique story I’m not sure which came first but one definitely used the other for inspiration.

Historia
Meet Harry, aspiring tech entrepreneur. He’s a would-be Steve Jobs trapped in a cubicle gig at an angel investor firm, so close and yet so far from his dreams. His marriage is foundering, his career is stalled out, and all he wants is to create an app like Uber, or Tinder, something to make real change in the world, and change his own life forever. Now meet Peter, a deeply troubled computer genius who lives in a basement apartment, chugging red wine, nursing old grudges and writing code. When Harry meets Peter, it’s both of their lives that will change, when they invent an app for murder.

Good short story
Revisado: 04-18-25
I have been listening to more short stories lately. I use to go all in on the longest stories I could find so I wasn’t constantly looking for a new title. I like the way they get straight to the point. This one has some great twists and turns and ends with perfect symmetry. I liked it. This is my 3rd by this author and I’ll be finding more.

Historia
In 1957, the US government abruptly ended a project designed to supplement the nation's food supply. They closed their research facility, reassigned the personnel, and ordered the test subjects euthanized. Sadly, not all their secrets died that day. Twenty years later, a severe drought has devastated nearby Cooper's Bluff, leaving the surrounding marshlands barren and their monstrous inhabitants ravenously hungry.

Im having a hard time finishing this one
Revisado: 04-11-25
I am a huge Rick fan. Love all his work so it hurts a bit to give 4 stars but I’m just not getting into this one. All of his other books have drawn me in very early and I usually end up working overtime just to keep listening. Usually I can’t put them down. So idk why this one isn’t landing for me. The narrator is great and there is nothing specific I can point to and say this is why. Maybe it’s just me and I’ll come back and love it. That’s happened before with Drew Hayes. One of my favorite authors. I got his book and returned it only to get it again a year later and it is now one of my favorites. So maybe that will happen here

This is a badass woman with the mouth of a sailor and the grit to stand up when everyone else bows down. This book is my favorite in this series.

Loved it. Didn’t want to put it down
Revisado: 02-20-25
Lots of mystery, love, loss, grief, confusion, anger, betrayal, also a potentially evil AI bot. Lots of suspects, lots of motives. Had me thinking all the way through. Really enjoyed it.

Revisado: 02-13-25
Man I can’t believe he pulled the trigger on that ending. A little disappointing not for the normal reasons I’m disappointed with a story. I don’t want to give too much away because this was an amazing story and really explains why I will drop anything to grab the next Hurwitz book. I’d love to see some more stand alone novels from him but I love this series too. I really enjoyed the story flipping from first person attacks to being in the shoes of the person the nowhere man comes for. It’s fun to see how the tricks are done but sometimes you want to sit in the audience and be amazed when the magician makes the Statue of Liberty disappear. I really enjoyed that aspect of this story. It was fun to ride part of it out from someone else’s perspective

So glad I found this podcast.
Revisado: 02-04-25
Not sure if this review is for the podcast in general or for this particular episode. What I love about the podcast is the quality of the stories and narrator. You get the occasional story that doesn’t fit my idea of a good story but way more often than not the really good stories stick with me. Like season 1 episode 5 “worth the having” wow that one is wild. The one I just finished “The Capsule” really excellent writing had me invested right from the beginning. Great twists and always fun.

I started this one the second it became available. Stayed up half the night hooked. Frieda always has a way of making me furious at her characters lack of perspective and common sense but then you look around and realize a vast majority of people are completely oblivious. This one kept me on the edge all the way through. Of all the possible outcomes I imagined she always finds the one I miss. This one I figured out a few small aspects but as usual the real bad guy managed to skate by unnoticed by me as oblivious as one of her characters. Great story great narrator. Highly recommend
