When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town—and there's no sign of Henderson. Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbors report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising—cutting off the town, with no way in or out . . .

Good Story notwithstanding the narration
Revisado: 01-08-25
Audiobook narration is hard. Few are as gifted as dreamy voiced KH-S. Because he is SO uniquely talented, I knew P Rawlins started out behind the 8-ball and I really wanted to be fair.
On paper, I can see why they cast her: British but raised in both the US and UK. I’m not sure they auditioned her.
I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve got the book on reserve at our local library because I can’t figure out if Aaronovich wrote some of this book in dialect or if all of the (many) mispronunciations are solely Rawlins’ inventions.
I’m trying not to let it get in the Way of enjoying the story, but it’s tough.
I really REALLY hope no one STARTS their RoL journey here. Kobna is such a revelation, it would be a shame if this story stopped someone from hearing him.

England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

So nice to hear such a good “radio play” version of Christie!

Great cast and so nice to hear some familiar voices stretching themselves with a good mystery!

Ramon de Ocampo is teasing enough to download any book, but combine him with Sanderson and his quirky humor in these books and you have a winnah! Enjoy! (I know you will.)

Life is good for Team Weird, now heroes and fully fledged Time Police officers. Luke can't wait to bear arms. Jane has a date. And Matthew still hasn't had his hair cut. But Time waits for no one, and neither do criminal masterminds. A major threat to the Timeline is looming, one far deadlier than mere idiots who want to change history. And when a familiar face becomes a Very Important Lead, will conflicting family loyalties spell trouble for Team Weird?

Taylor and Ramm—heavenly match
Revisado: 12-31-21
I have yet to be disappointed by either Jodi Taylor or Zara Ramm—this book is no exception. The series saw me through the first Summer of Pandemic and I hope will continue to see me through more (less trying) times. I wasn’t sure I wanted to start the Time Police books after exhausting St Mary’s extant works—I shouldn’t have worried. Our trio of misfits are as lovingly rendered as the Historians. Taylor’s books are always a treat.

There's a college affordability crisis happening in the US right now. Tuition rates have soared, while increases in blue collar wages have slowed to a crawl. This adds up to a painful realization for lower-income young people desperately hoping to go to college: there's no way to pay for it. Bobbi Dempsey shares her brutally honest first-person account of the struggle to pay for her children's and her own education on a working-class salary.

Completely revised and updated to tackle today’s issues, the 10th Anniversary Edition not only explains what framing is and how it works but also reveals why, after a brief stint of winning the framing wars in the 2008 elections, the Democrats have gone back to losing them, and what can be done about it. In this powerful new volume, George Lakoff delves into the issues that will dominate the midterm elections in 2014, the coming presidential elections, and beyond.

Don't let the reader make you turn this off

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Listen. Get the print our kindle and flip back and forth if the reader bugs you, but still... Find some way to invest this book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The history. The missed opportunities. The hubris. The hope.

Trust. Betrayal. Revenge. The Count of Monte Cristo is the quintessential masterpiece of Alexandre Dumas. In Edmond Dantes we find an early materialization of the modern superhero. He is a dashing young sailor imprisoned unjustly for treason. While in prison he meets a holy man who imparts to him all his wisdom. The "abbe" also divulges the profound secret of a hidden treasure. Dantes realizes that with such immense wealth, one could wreak a hateful vengeance on one's enemies.

One of the best readers (esp for the classics)
Revisado: 03-08-16
If you could sum up The Count of Monte Cristo [Classic Tales Edition] in three words, what would they be?
The book is better than, more complex than, more unbelievable than, any of the filmed versions.
What did you like best about this story?
I particularly liked how much I learned about the time period and this area of the Mediterranean.
Have you listened to any of B.J. Harrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
B.J. Harrison is one of the best readers I've heard. Able to do many voices compellingly, believably, and back-to-back. Even my kids were stunned when they realized it was all one reader.

Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

My first like this
Revisado: 10-27-15
I understand there are other books similar to this (what if/sci fi/tv/etc). I wouldn't know. This is my first.
I loved it. Fun. Smart. Heartbreaking. Funny. All the good stuff.
The first Wil Wheaton book I listened to was "Ready Player One"—he was great.
He's even better here.
Thank you John and Wil!
