    Bobby Callahan was only 20 when an accident left him disfigured for life. Huge chunks of his memory were lost but he knew someone had tried to kill him and that the "accident" was deliberate. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn't know what. No one believed him...so he hired Kinsey Millhone.

    What did you love best about C is for Corpse?

    I really enjoyed the plot of this one. It was somewhat predictable, but still very griping I very much want to listen to the other books in this series.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I thought that the story was very fluid and believable which I find refreshing. Many of the books I listen to are not this easy to get involved in. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next.


    Which character – as performed by Mary Peiffer – was your favorite?

    Kinsey is hands down my favorite. She has the perfect voice to go with the character. I can't imagine a better reader for this book.


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

    If I had the time I would have listened to it from start to finish.

    The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador’s telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it’s hard to know what to make of it. It’s massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

    El Cavador has other problems. Their systems are old and failing. The family is getting too big for the ship. There are claim-jumping corporate ships bringing Asteroid Belt tactics to the Kuiper Belt.

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

    I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. It is just as good as the books that it is meant to come before in the Ender series. It is very well written and with a very positive and I think realistic view of the human condition.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Earth Unaware?

    I loved the part where Wit whips the regular troops using only 9 of his MOPS. This combined with the fact that Wit has rejected the future hero of the Formic Wars, Mazer Rakem, to become a MOP.


    What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The performance of the narrators is excellent throughout the book. They bring just the right emotions and flavor to the story to make things seem even more vibrant that when I read this on my own.


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

    I enjoyed listening to this book a few minutes at a time. It allowed me to savor the experience.
