    Deep in the steaming jungles of Paraguay, Aimee Weir is in trouble. The petrobiologist has found what she was looking for - a unique microorganism in a natural gas deposit - but it proves to be more destructive than anyone could have imagined. A contagion is striking down all in its wake. The camp is quarantined, but workers start to vanish in the night. Is it fear of contamination - or has something far more lethal come to the surface? Something that has been trapped beneath the miles of stone, waiting... for us.

    Would you listen to This Green Hell again? Why?

    I listened to the series in rapid succession, enjoying each book fully. I'll put Mr. Beck in the same company as Matthew Reilly and David Lynn Golemon. Great action! I'm hoping for another installment soon.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Not getting attached to closely to any particular character is probably a good idea.


    Which character – as performed by Sean Mangan – was your favorite?

    Each character was enjoyable; but of course, Alex was my favorite.


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

    Line them up and block out some time on your schedule. You won't want to stop listening.

    In the second book of the Star Force series, Kyle Riggs has another bad year. The Nano ships have a new mission--one that sentences their pilots to death. Meanwhile, the governments of Earth want to steal Star Force's Nano technology for their own. Worst of all, Earth has made a promise to the Macros, and the machines are coming to collect.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    This was a fun listen! There is a bit of foreshadowing that I expect will payoff in future books in the series.

    The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

    Story
    Would you listen to The Litigators again? Why?

    John Grisham has delivered a fun read with The Litigators. I found the tone to be similar to The Testament, an earlier work by JG. Though not straight comedy there are several part that made me chuckle or just smile. I'll probably not listen to it again because of knowing the payoff but I do recommend the book.


    What other book might you compare The Litigators to and why?

    Character development again reminded me of The Testament. Memorable characters that you quickly begin to care about.


    What does Dennis Boutsikaris bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

    The narrator's performance was better than average though I'd have liked more distinct voices for the characters.


    Any additional comments?

    If you like John Grisham you'll enjoy this book. I hadn't planned to listen to it all so quickly but I got hooked and simply went along for a fun ride.
