    The world had become used to the metahumans - people sometimes perfectly ordinary, but sometimes quite extraordinary in appearance - who mostly worked with their governments as high-powered peace officers, fighting crime, and sometimes fighting rogue metahumans who had become super-criminals. Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day.

    What did you like best about Invasion? What did you like least?

    Action and suspense


    Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

    NO


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Terrible narration, feminine voice for a male made me want to toss my food up in many parts. Just ruined this book for me. My opinion Audible should have hired a more masculine narrator for a book like this. Just awful and I will never get any books with this narrator, never!


    Did Invasion inspire you to do anything?

    NO


    Any additional comments?

    Horrid narration ruined the book for me

    The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Fellowship of the Ring to be better than the print version?

    Yes indeed!


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

    Excellent narration of an extremely intricate book. The singing is quite good and must have been very difficult to perform for the various characters and there are many!

    Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human. But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders. Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who - or what - is doing the killing.

    Story
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    Probably not, story is sub-par entertainment. Surreal and un-realistic plot. Slightly exciting, but narration was terrible.


    What could Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    The story was fair and probably would have been best if a narrator like Scott Brick or Dick Hill read this story.


    Would you be willing to try another one of David Colacci’s performances?

    NO (not for this type of story anyway)


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Possibly


    Any additional comments?

    Just terrible narration. Sound quality of voice is echoey and high pitched. Sound effects were horribly annoying and I had to turn down the sound many times because of this annoyance. The story was fair and probably would have been best if a narrator like Scott Brick or Dick Hill read this story.

Now, in the twilight of a dying decade, they must return to the United States to forge a new type of American soldier - one to be tested on the beaches of Cuba and in a new war yet to come....

    Yes, because it's full of excitement and wonderful hidden messages that if one has read the Holy Bible can see the similarities. An excellent book from beginning to end plus very well read aloud.

    A handful of people. From different backgrounds, living in different towns and cities across America, they had nothing in common - except fear. Deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, a dark memory called out to them, drawing them to the Tranquility Motel - where the terrifying truth was waiting.

    The mystery and momentum throughout the entire story kept me on the edge of my seat while driving. Of course Dick Hill is superb in his narrations as always.

    Colorado Congressman Evan Kendrick is trying to live out his term of office quietly—when a political mole reveals to the world Kendrick's deepest secret: that Kendrick was the anonymous man in Masqar, the man who courageously freed the hostage held in the American embassy by Arab terrorists; the unknown hero who performed an act of outrageous daring then silently disappeared. Now, suddenly, Kendrick is a living target pursued by the terrorists he outwitted.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    Not sure, the book is all over the place and is written badly. Unbelievable plot, story line and suspense is teeth "gnashingly" painful.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Ludlum again?

    Sure would, but only his oldest works.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Scott Brick?

    Of course, he does a superb job with all the material he is given to read.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    None for me and I have listened to thousands of books in last 20 years.


    Any additional comments?

    Just disappointing.
