Sentinels of Creation

Stories for William

De: Robert W. Ross

Narrado por: Nick Podehl, Autumn Juliet

The Final Sacrifice was made, but then what? In response to an outpouring of questions and comments, Robert W. Ross has created a compendium of novellas that span all seven Sentinels of Creation books and bridges the gap between them and his award-winning science fiction series, Paradigm 2045. Rejoin Kellan, Shannon, and all their friends through the eyes of their son and, once again, experience the magic that is Sentinels of Creation.

Hello, my name is William Thorne. I am the Scion of Amber Light, and this is my story. Well, not my story exactly, more my compendium of the stories told to me by others.

In this audio, you will here tales my Da told me of his early adventures with Mum, how he nearly got himself killed numerous times, and that's just because he upset Mum.

Ha, I jest, well, mostly. It's never wise to make Mum angry. No one likes her when she's angry. She's a Scot, which means she's angry more times than not. Still, she loves her friends well, and Da even better.

Seriously though, the book you are holding contains ten tales that took place somewhere between the years 1261 and 2047. Yeah, I know, that's a pretty big spread, but what can I say other than, Timey Wimey...Wibbly Wobbly.

If you want to learn more about Kellan, Shannon, Meghan, Seramai, Maggie, and others, then settle in, make yourself comfortable, and get ready to enjoy...Stories for William.

Great Companion to an Awesome Series

Nick blows it up again. Robert with a great set of stories in one of my favorite series. Keep at it Autumn you will get there. My advice for you is to keep working on the male voices. I thought you did great on all the Female voices.

Mostly great but bad duel narration

love this series and the story. LOVE Nick but didn't like Autumns voice for male characters and Irish accents! I don't want to be mean or deter her from trying but she's not the right fit for male characters.

Excellent, Riveting, and Fun!

William Thorne, the Scion of Amber Light and son to Kellan and Shannon shares his favorite adventures told to him by his highly entertaining and always in trouble father, Kellan. Through these ten stories, we are given more insight into the exploits of Kellan, Shannon, Seramai, Meghan, Ares, Santa, and more. The tales span centuries and connect the Sentinels of Creation and Paradigm 2045 series in a rich and imaginative manner.

The author, Robert W. Ross, excels at world-building and character development; he crafts relatable characters with authentic human traits. Themes of family, strong relationships, honesty, and trust are intricately woven creating deep connections with the listener. His characters find their situations balanced with a mix of humor, action, and poignancy at times. I often find myself laughing and receiving questioning looks.

The narrators, Nick Podehl and Autumn Juliet do an excellent job performing this audiobook. Podehl has a strong and flexible voice that resonates with the personalities of each character consistently. Juliet has a similar style thus maintaining a consistent character presence. Together they do an excellent job of providing an entertaining narrative. Both speak clearly and with a steady cadence accurately projecting the emotion of the situation.

I have always sought authors skilled at transporting their fans into other worlds and lives. Ross, Podehl, and Juliet provide first-class travel there!

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Great continuation of the Sentinels universe

I loved the Sentinels of Creation series and this was a lovely way to dip back into that world for a few hours. I loved Nick Podehl’a continued performance of these characters and really enjoyed having the addition of Autumn Jones for the stories narrated by female characters. It was great to hear about all of the original gang and their kids, especially seeing Maggie all grown up and doing her own thing. This selection of stories tied up a few loose ends from the original series (though I still want the story about Megan teaching Sera how to drive and how he manages to destroy her car!!!). Definitely hope we will get a Stories for Ariel volume too!

Great read/listen

This book for me checks all the boxes.

Great supplement to existing SoC and Pardigm books, Check.
Could read this without having read any of the other books, Check.
As always, great storytelling and story flow, Check.

Stories for William could have easily been parts of the original books that Robert just left out. They fit seamlessly into the storyline and flow. The depth Stories for William gives to already known and loved characters brings the whole story arc even more color and substance.

Nick Poedehl is an absolute master of his craft. You know if he's narrating it, it's going to be stellar. This is my first time hearing Autumn Juliet. She did a great job. Taking well-known voices and making them her own has to be daunting, but I think she did great! Look forward to hearing more from her.

Overall, it's a great story. Takes a bit from all of his books, stories most all of us already know and makes an intriguing, well thought out story for everyone to enjoy.
