Captain Mal Reynolds is in a fix. He’d like nothing more than to find honest smuggling work that stays under the Alliance’s radar and keeps the good ship Serenity in the sky. But when an old flame of Jayne Cobb’s sends a desperate plea across the galaxy, his crew has other ideas. On the arid, far-flung world of Thetis, the terrifying Elias Vandal is threatening to overrun the town of Coogan’s Bluff with his trigger-happy army. He wants control of the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin: their water supply.

Familiar story
Revisado: 03-09-24
The story is pretty solid but is a little too similar to the episode Heart of Gold.
Has the right feel and familiarity of an episode and the narrator kills it with the characters.
Overall it is great.
Nitpick: C'mon... ".308 rimfire" could be Googled by anyone in the editing process...

Deep beneath the windswept waters near Istanbul, marine archaeologist Jack Howard and his crack team of experts have uncovered a clue to the location of the lost golden menorah of Jerusalem that was plundered during the Crusades. Meanwhile, in a dusty cathedral library, someone has unearthed a long-forgotten medieval map. Together the two discoveries will solve an ancient mystery - and spark a race to stop a present-day conspiracy of staggering proportions.

It's weirdly hard to deal with the Jimmy Stewart-ish accent. Its an ok book (not the best of the series), just a few off-putting narration issues.

The first novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Roman series. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn't difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them.

Really love the book but the narrator is pretty bad. Bestia is apparently Michael Palin...

Who hired windows 2000 as narrator?
Revisado: 03-11-19
holy. crap.
I would rather listen to my 8 year old read The Simarillion aloud than listen to this guy again. For real, this is how you drive fans away. It is like listening to a person unfamiliar with English, who was told you have to emphasize every letter T, stumbling through reading a biology textbook in front of the class.
I know we tell folks they can be anything when they grow up but someone should have warned Martin that his narration talents are more suited for NASA countdowns, loud "virus" popups, or that episode of The Office as the voice of Long Tim's computer admirer.
Geez...
Sort yourself out.

Addicted to the Eagles
Revisado: 06-22-16
Would you consider the audio edition of Eagle in Exile to be better than the print version?
Tough call, it is always nice to add a layer of depth to characters... I do enjoy the presentation.
What did you like best about this story?
This story makes you care about the characters and you cannot help but want more. The characters are deep and complex and demand your attention.
What does Kevin Orton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He really adds great depth and personality to already great characters.

Yucatan Peninsula, present day: When Maria Pelati's research team disappears in Mexico, she calls Jonathon Payne and David Jones, who embark on a perilous mission to find the missing archaeologists.

I love Payne and Jones... But Maria....
Revisado: 01-16-16
What made the experience of listening to The Death Relic the most enjoyable?
I just love the characters, with whom I feel connected. I want to know so much more about them, I want to read more about them... I just love them.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love Petr Ulster!!! The man is just a lovable weirdo! I always imagine Richard Griffiths playing him!
What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
consistency and life
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
of course, I just wish that Maria was completely different!
Any additional comments?
I can't be the only one who wanted Maria to not speak the entire book... At first I was so excited to see an old character come back but then she started talking. I wanted to strangle her.
