Historia
A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: "I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

In the stunning first novel in Marlon James' Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy.

Historia
The evil sorcerer Arunis is dead, yet the danger has not ended. For as he fell, beheaded by the young warrior-woman Thasha Isiq, Arunis summoned the Swarm of Night, a demonic entity that feasts on death and grows like a plague. If the Swarm is not destroyed, the world of Alifros will become a vast graveyard. Now Thasha and her comrades - the tarboy Pazel Pathkendle and the mysterious wizard Ramachni - begin a quest that seems all but impossible. Yet there is hope: One person has the power to stand against the Swarm: the great mage Erithusmé.

Riveting!! Non-stop adventure. Can we have more?
Revisado: 03-05-13
Where does The Night of the Swarm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
since I've listened to over 1250 audio books and mostly in fantasy, I would rank Redick's Chathrand series as in my top ten percent.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Night of the Swarm?
so many, probably the dialogue, love and committment of the two young lovers
Have you listened to any of Michael Page’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes and as usual, he was superb
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
the end, I hated it. I was so disappointed. Made feel meloncholy. But hey, it was only fiction.
Any additional comments?
I'm a sap, what can I say. I wanted a sappy ending not a tragedy of a kind.

Historia
The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It’s up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans fails. Of course, there’s also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it.

Historia
It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with the last living female Dragon, and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she'd been given began to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters. So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris - disappearances traced to the very Barrani Kaylin is about to be traveling with....

yes, but hopefully it will have some different twist to the character
What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?
yes, She did well as usual
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?
I'm beginning to wonder if our main character will ever decide to have a romance with Severen or Nightshade or just keep us in suspense for ever

Revisado: 08-13-12
What made the experience of listening to Heir of Novron the most enjoyable?
The gambit of emotions touched sadness, humor, and joy with every book in the series. What a wonderful ending for a great series. I didn't want it to end.
What did you like best about this story?
The relationship and hardships endured by both Royce and Adrian.
What does Tim Gerard Reynolds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He captivated my attention with every sentence. Many audio books make you have to go back and recap. Not this one. He did an excellent job.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was well done and yes, I shed a few tears of sadness and joy
Any additional comments?
best audio book since the Wheel of Time series.

Historia
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

entertaining listening that breaks down
Revisado: 08-21-11
I really enjoyed the first half of the book. Ms Miller does a great job of setting the story plot regarding two people who have been misunderstood and fighting to overcome odds. The narrator is great. They meet, fall in love, all that. Where the story turns completely is when the man, goes crazy and now we enter the realm of the "Mad Scientist" who chases everyone including his lover to extinction. It becomes more of a B movie horror flick. The man changes people into giant armored plated vicious bugs. Then it abruptly ends. He of course is doomed. It looks like the girl is probably doomed as well as her interesting altruistic brother who gets it at the end. It reminds me of a soap opera where they kill off characters you grew an attachment with and now you are wondering if the author will let them go or bring them back. In the sequel we are waiting on someone new to rescue the world. I'll buy the next and hope it gets better.

not bad, not great
Revisado: 07-29-11
A lot has been said about the narrator and even I thought at first it would be dissapointing. Though after an hour, I felt like Mr. Glover did a good job. The story didn't enthrall me like his last book. Perhaps this feeble mind could not grasp all this ectoplasma and when he could fight and when he was unable in his spirit form. All in all it wasn't a wasted credit. Expecting great things when his winter knight role comes to play.
