Another stellar performance of a well written story. If you enjoyed ToF, you’ll be more than happy with this listen. My guess is Peter Kenny has brought you here, as his performance of a diff Sapkowski narrative is maybe the best of all time. If so, you’ll love this.
I’m about to start Light Perpetual and that should say enough.

I loved that Jefferson did EVERYTHING. We got a new story, and a simple collection to make an even 10 Expanse titles.
If you’re here because the other 9 weren’t enough, give it a go. I didn’t find it as emotionally satisfying as the core 9 but there are some great victories here.

The fifth book in the NYT best-selling Expanse series, Nemesis Games drives the crew of the Rocinante apart, and as they struggle to survive, the inner planets fall victim to an enemy's catastrophic plan. A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle. Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen.

The new perspectives were more than I could have asked for. I was on the edge of my crash couch the whole time. This is most epic chapter in The Expanse that I’ve read yet. I’m only writing this because I opened audible to download Babylons Ashes.

For generations, the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt—was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artifact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has appeared in Uranus's orbit, where it has built a massive gate that leads to a starless dark. Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are part of a vast flotilla of scientific and military ships going out to examine the artifact. But behind the scenes, a complex plot is unfolding, with the destruction of Holden at its core.

I think this is even better than Calibans War. Top notch everything and we get two great new characters. I liked Christian but she grew annoying. Not happening in this one. Highly recommended.

Reviewed: 03-01-24
I dove in because it was advertised as King meets Crichton. Pretty high bars to meet but I think the writer did a great job of finding the criteria. High quality writing. The story stays on track more than Crichton does imo. Quite a fun small scale story that does realism 7/10, fantasy 8/10, and sci-fi 9/10. The story is well-written enough that I downloaded his other stories also. I shouldn’t forget to mention that the performer does an excellent job, and fed into my desire to download more audiobooks with him in them.

Arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig never believed his crimes were hanging offenses, until he found himself with a noose around his neck, dropping through a trap door, and falling into...a government job? Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be an impossible task. Worse, the new Postmaster could swear the mail is talking to him.

Kyril Bonfiglioli's wickedly fun mysteries featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai, degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly, have been cult classics in the UK since their first publication there in the 1970s.

James Bond and John Cleese in one funny fellow
Reviewed: 01-09-23
These novels do not seem to be written for the easily offended. In fact, Bonfigliogi consistently breaks the fourth wall in discussion with how well he knows the audience. I feel this is because those of us who enjoy his writings have a similar sensibility about us.
This continues the Mortdecai comedic approach with a lightning fast pace. This is the actual sequel to Don’t Point That Thing At Me, picking up at the end of that narrative.
Highly recommend.

Ben Timberlake has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the ultimate rush. This is an account of his near-execution in wartime Yugoslavia, his time in the SAS, combat in Iraq, encounters with a gambling-obsessed 9/11 hijacker, veterans blissed out on MDMA, as well as exploring hook-ups in the world of extreme sex and battling a heroin habit on a remote Scottish island. In this pilgrimage on the road of excess Ben looks at the social, biological, religious and personal factors that drive people to the edge and has a whole lot of fun along the way.

High Enjoyment
Reviewed: 07-13-22
I’ll be honest. I was looking for a military thriller of the nonfiction variety. Reviews and praise from BRCC brought me here, but the fantastic writing of just-believable tales made me stay. I couldn’t listen to this book fast enough.
It’s an enriching journey into the brains of humans and our animal brethren. The honesty and dry English wit suit the story well.
As far as comparisons go, I’m not sure where I’d stick it with literature. The first thing I can think of is Pain and Gain, an equally wacky but wholly compelling story of nonfiction that makes you doubt what you are seeing, or hearing in this case.
Anyways, listen to it. The author does a great job sharing his thoughts aloud and I look forward to anything else this man writes.
See you in the snake dens.

Longtime agent here. This is fantastic in multiple ways. The performances are way above par. Sound effects, ambiance are amazing as well. If you’re into action literature at all, definitely give this a listen. It’s high octane and pleasing throughout. I’d of gladly paid for this.
