    A terrible accident takes Edgar Freemantle's right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him with little but rage as he begins the ordeal of rehabilitation. When his marriage suddenly ends, Edgar begins to wish he hadn't survived his injuries. He wants out. His psychologist suggests a new life distant from the Twin Cities, along with something else.

    Well im in the 3rd section of the down load and it's good but as of yet i havent found the horror i got from other King works.
    Maybe it will all be tied up on the 6th burned disc.
    Non the less a good listen, a nice way to spend time stuck in traffic.
    TYVM!!!

    One night when he was 10, Tyler stood in his backyard and watched the stars go out. They flared into brilliance, then disappeared, replaced by an empty black barrier. He and his best friends, Jason and Diane Lawton, had seen what became known as the Big Blackout. It would shape their lives.

    People start dropping dead around Charlie, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death.

    i found that i didnt like the book at first, but after about an hour into it, it's a hoot.
    I can identify so much with the "beta male"
    I'd recommend it to anyone even alphas.

    The legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa (the name has since become a by-word for a cataclysmic disaster) was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly 40,000 people. Beyond the purely physical horrors of an event which has only very recently become properly understood, the eruption changed the world in more ways than could possibly be imagined. Dust swirled round the world for years, causing temperatures to plummet and sunsets to turn vivid.

    Well! over all its an interesting book but i never thought i would get such a detailed history lesson of the region. I am better for knowing about the pepper trade'the dutch and the day to day life of the inhabitants then i was before i started.
    I wish i was still taking geology i got a better explination of plate techtonics here then i did from my college instructor.
    all in all very good but it might have been a thought to get a dramatic reader to voice the book just a thought.
    in closeing i did learn much more then i expected a good listen.
    thank you.
