    Where does Escape Velocity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I am in middle management, and this sounded like a good source of information for Sr. management. I did not follow all the concepts that were discussed because that is still above my pay grade. But it sound like a good source of ideas to manage a diverse set of projects/programs, and how to expand your companies foot print in the marketplace.

    The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die - and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

    What did you love best about The Hot Gate?

    I found the cultural interplay between the characters interesting: latin american vs. north american.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Comet, as she was the central character and is very dynamic.


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed the story, but it did not have as much action as the previous 2 books. I am looking forward to any more books in the series.

    "My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep...."

    What made the experience of listening to The Wise Man's Fear the most enjoyable?

    I am really enjoying this story within a story format the author is using. The story really draws you in and you can't wait to see what happens next.


    What about Nick Podehl’s performance did you like?

    The narrator does an amazing job to give each character a unique voice and conveys the emotion of the scene very well.


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

    I would have, if it wasn't 45 hours long.

  • The Third Option: Mitch Rapp Series

    (1096)

    CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield—a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins—which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one’s pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

    Henry says: "If it had an ending, I'd give it a 5."
    "An entertaining spy thriller"

    Would you listen to The Third Option again? Why?

    I have listened to it twice already. The Mitch Rapp series are great books to listen to on long commutes.


    Have you listened to any of Nick Sullivan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    He has done well in all the books I have listened. He does well to change his inflection or accent for each character and you can hear the emotion in his voice.
