    When a stranger attempting to deliver a cryptic message is shot dead at his dinner table, Richard Ames is thrown headfirst into danger, intrigue, and other dimensions where Lazarus Long still thrives, where Jubal Harshaw lives surrounded by beautiful women, and where a daring plot to rescue the sentient computer called Mike can change the direction of all human history.

    Harry says: "Good, strong masculine voice, well read"
    "Great Story, Narrator not so much"

    Story

    I have always been a fan of Heinlein since I was a young sprog in the 60s, sadly he did not last as long as Woodrow Wilson Smith.

    This is a interesting tale that brings together many of the characters we know from previous novels, unfortunately the narrator is annoying at best. He sounds like a bad imitation of W.C.Fields as Richard Ames.

    Story

    A terrifying mystery of the sea. In December 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished without trace from the remote Scottish island of Eilean Mòr. An emergency relief crew was sent to man the lighthouse. At the end of their month-long duty, they resigned from their posts, and never spoke of what they had experienced on the island. The mystery of Eilean Mòr has never been solved. Until now. In the present, a group of environmental researchers arrives on the island to observe the wildlife.

    Kimberly says: "Wonderful & Spooky"
    "Great Narrator, Shame About The Story."

    Would you listen to The Lighthouse Keeper again? Why?

    No. Can I have the 8 or so hours of my life back


    What was most disappointing about Alan K. Baker’s story?

    No conclusive end, too many open questions.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    The narrator was the one bright spot and the only reason I held on to the bitter end, I'll definitely consider other books narrated by Mr. Cree.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I rarely listen a book in one sitting other than when I am driving a long distance.


    Any additional comments?

    Save your money or credits, don't get this one. I've been a Audible member for some few years now and this is the first book where I felt I had to give a negative review
