Vaz

Vaz Series #1

De: Laurence E. Dahners

Narrado por: Stephen R. Thorne

Vaz is the story of Vaz Gettnor, a socially impaired yet scientifically brilliant man. Despite his inability to relate to others, Lisanne married him in admiration of what she perceived as shy intelligence. However, she's been disappointed by the way he's settled for working as no more than a glorified lab tech with a low salary.

Adding to their problems, Vaz and Lisanne have two teenagers who are typically surly and embarrassed by their parents, but whom they want to send to college - if only they can find the money. When Vaz is fired from his job as a researcher but then discovers a means to achieve cold fusion, a technology that could solve the energy crisis and their financial difficulties, virtually no one believes him, least of all his family. In fact the only people who do believe are the ones who are trying to steal the technology from him....

Tons of fun and great tech

Tons of fun and great tech discussion. Fun story! I'm ready for the next book!

Family cohesion & support.

Liked the plot tie ins from beginning to end & Vaz’s humble nature in contrast to his intellectual & physical prowess. Disliked the over emphasis on that power being the source of all the families blessings; would have preferred greater recognition of the others contributions- leaves a slight sense of “showy” or false humility. Still a very good read, Thank you Lawrence👍🏼👍🏼

Couldn’t put it down

I am a picky listener. If a book doesn’t hook me, I usually can’t get through it. This one surprised me! I got hooked and couldn’t stop.

interesting

I really liked the character of vaz. he had wit and charm and had a sense of wonder about his research that was very appealing. As a result there was a lot of nerd speak in this book discussing technical details that were just blah, blah, blah to me. however I did not find this detracted from the story.
What did make me sad was the ending which became a good guy vs bad guy trope. I would have liked less guns and more story, even if it was more nerd speak.

Amazing Read/ Listen

This author is an automatic buy on everything he puts out for me. I️f you love stories of the underdog coming out on top you’ll love this.

Vaz is a charter that I️ never knew I️ would come to enjoy so much, I️ look forward to the next installments of this series.

“Audible 20 review sweepstakes entry”

Great book.

What a great science book it's fun and interesting anybody interested in science should read it!

Surprising Find!!

Found this book via Audible suggestion and they were so RIGHT-ON (Thanks Audible). I quickly became immersed in the story of Vaz and watched in fascination as his safe and secure life upended. I laughed at people's reactions to his antisocial behavior.. I giggled at how far he would go to avoid a vacation. No cliffhangers at the end, but I purchased book 2 like there had been because I want more fun with this entriging family! The physics theoretical concepts seemed plausible and do-able within the storyline and added substance to the tale.

Great yarn , lots of fun!

Laurence's books haven't disappointed so far, and this one is no exception. Engaging characters and story line, plenty of action and plausible technology. The narrator did a great job as well. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next in the series.

most excellent!

I really enjoyed this story. very well written, very well performed. can't wait to start on the next book in the series. vaz is my kind of guy.

A wonderful series

I have read and listened to this series a few times now and it never loses its excitement and suspense.
