Story
This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Altered carbon
A Stand-in for Dying is the first book in the Brink of Life Trilogy of Sci-Fi thrillers by Rick Moskovitz. The author draws from his experience as a clinical psychiatrist to create a completely immersive narrative experience for the listener, with characters and events that feel real and possible. This is the third book that I listened to and reviewed for Mr. Moskovitz and I can tell you that his writing style is clean, beautiful, easy to follow and completely immersive.
In the not too distant future, huge advancements in medicine and technology permit us to extend our life cycles and also to move our consciousness from one host to another. But we are still human after all, and our existence is not yet as balanced as we wanted it to be.
In A Stand-in for Dying we follow a few such interesting characters that struggle with their existence and with the search for immortality. I have really enjoyed this new take on our possible future and I hope we can do better than the individuals portrayed in this captivating novel.
Actor and talented narrator Joe Smith does a superb job of bringing all these deeply troubled characters to life and he manages to help the listener submerge into this thrilling adventure. This is not the first time that I listened to Joe and I think he can enrich the audio production with voices, accents and the sense of urgency sipping from his performance.
If you’re curious to see how our fails as a race divided by ideologies and the greed to have the best for ourselves can lead to our downfall, I suggest you give a try to A Stand-in for Dying by Rick Moskovitz.
