Twins

An Ell Donsaii Story, Book 17

De: Laurence Dahners

Narrado por: Rebecca Valderrama

This is the seventeenth book in a series of near-future Hard-SciFi Thrillers. Their heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that’s rendered her a genius as well as providing astonishing athletic abilities. Her genius has let her revolutionize our world with a number of inventions, including instantaneous communications and trans-dimensional portals that deliver fuel, water, and food all around the world

Twins is about events four years after the birth of Ell’s twins, Caii and Raii. Only six months after their birth, an abortive kidnapping attempt successfully steals the girls but then loses them at a dirt airstrip in Mexico. Drug runners pick the twins up by mistake and take them to their cartel’s boss. This infuriates the chief because he was expecting a delivery of cash. To the boss’s astonishment, his infertile wife insists on adopting them! The twins are four and a half (though their adoptive mom thinks they’re a year older than that) when a cartel up-and-comer kills their adoptive dad. Without him, they and their adoptive mom must now find their own way in the world.

This is the story of how some of the talents they inherited from their mother ease those difficulties. Unavoidably, this book also deals with some of the startling changes the world is going through as it adapts to the transporters Ell and Roger invented in Book 16

Great story, different narrator, editing issues

I was disappointed that the narrator changed after 16 books, but I understand things happen, and maybe the narrator wasn't available. My main issue was that the editing of this recording seemed poor. There were abrupt shifts in volume and voice that sounded like edits were made and spliced into the recording poorly. There were also a couple of places where the dialog was repeated.

Great!

I thought the narration was excellent very clear and true to the characters of the book.

I enjoyed glistening to the story after I read the original novel.

great narration..

Amazing storyline

Excellent story as always and refreshingly original loved how the story this time was from the twins point of view.

Terrible new narrator.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, but the new narrator that has begun with this book is terrible (at least in this title; I haven’t heard others). It appears that whiny valley girl is her default “alternative” voice.

Another great Ell Donsai story

Great story, the narrator did a great job telling it. I have enjoyed all the Donsai stories and this was another one. Really hope to read and hear more, keep up the great work.
