A new generation is growing up on the island paradise of Camelot, ignorant of the Great Grendel Wars fought when their parents and grandparents first arrived on Earth. Setting out to explore the mainland, this group of young rebels feels ready to fight any grendels that get in their way. On Avalon, however, there are monsters that dwarf the ones their parents fought, and as the group will soon learn, monsters also dwell in the human heart. Avalon does not give up her secrets easily, and some of those mysteries are wicked as sin and blacker than the grave.

Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, award-winning authors of such best sellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot, return us to the Mote, and to the universe of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Rod Blaine and Sally Fowler. There, 25 years have passed since humanity quarantined the mysterious aliens known as Moties within the confines of their own solar system. They have spent a quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered - a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function: Master, Mediator, Engineer, Warrior.

A group of pretend adventurers suit up for a campaign called "The South Seas Treasure Game". As in the early role-playing games, there are dungeon masters, warriors, magicians, and thieves. The difference? At Dream Park, a futuristic fantasy theme park full of holographic attractions and the latest in VR technology, they play in an artificial enclosure that has been enhanced with special effects, holograms, actors, and a clever story line. The players get as close as possible to truly living their adventure.

Leaving Earth, the crew of the spaceship Discipline were prepared for a routine assignment. Dispatched by the all-powerful State on a mission of interstellar exploration and colonization, Discipline was aided - and secretly spied upon - by Sharls Davis Kendy, an emotionless computer intelligence programmed to monitor the loyalty and obedience of the crew. What they weren’t prepared for, however, was the Smoke Ring - an immense, gaseous envelope that had formed around a neutron star directly in their path. The Smoke Ring was home to a variety of plant and animal life-forms evolved to thrive in conditions of continual free fall.

Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission was to save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two and a half million years before.
Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days, and Brennan figured to meet that ship first.

Set in the world of Larry Niven’s popular The Magic Goes Away, The Burning City transports listeners to an enchanted and ancient city bearing a provocative resemblance to our own modern society. There, Yangin-Atep, the volatile and voracious god of fire, alternately protects and destroys the city’s denizens. In Tep’s Town, nothing can burn indoors, and no fire can start - except when the Burning comes upon the city. At that time the people, possessed by Yangin-Atep, set their own town ablaze in a riotous orgy of destruction that often comes without warning

Publisher's Summary
Get ready for an adventure on a world from the brilliant imagination of New York Times best-selling author Larry Niven.
Wide and smooth, the Road was seared into planet Destiny’s rocky surface by the fusion drive of the powered landing craft, Cavorite. The Cavorite deserted the original interstellar colonists, stranding them without hope of contacting Earth.
Now, descendants of those pioneers have many questions about the Road, but no settler who has gone down it has ever returned. For Jemmy Bloocher, a young farm boy, the questions burn too hot - and he sets out to uncover the many mysteries of Destiny’s Road.

This is no Lucifer's Hammer
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I've noticed quite a large difference between the amazon reviews and the audible reviews. Perhaps it might be the narration turning people off??? But I personally didn't mind the narration.
I have a theory regarding the difference between amazon and audible reviews, and it does not involve any conspiracy theory with amazon! I think it is just the main character experiences so much, and yet just seems to take it as though it is another day. For example, Jemmy has to run away because of an accident, and yet the style of writing or the narration did not seem to indicate any crisis had occurred in the first place. As a listener it is easier to notice this lack of emotion. However, as a reader you tend to read yourself into the experience. With the audible version I tend to rely on the emotion or style of the narrator for that emotional character development (I know not all people are like this, but that is just me :-) As a reader I find myself reading more between the lines of a character.
I think this Niven book is one of those stories that is best read and not listened too. Which makes it hard for me to recommend this audible story to anyone.
What do you think your next listen will be?
It will be have to be something with a bit more action. Perhaps, a zombie quickie like 'Die Trying'. I was hoping for so much more from this book after enjoying Niven's book "Lucifer's Hammer". However, I was greatly disappointed. So the next book is one I have not read any reviews on. Perhaps, this time I will be taken by surprise for the better!!
Which character – as performed by Paul Michael Garcia – was your favorite?
The obvious choice is Jemmy, but I certainly didn't stay awake at night wondering what would happen. In a book which depends on the audience being there in 'another world' the divorce of emotion in the main character made it difficult for me to 'experience' or be immersed into the storyline.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointed, because it really could have been another ‘Niven’ classic, which I could really get into! But instead, it tuned into a bit of a chore to listen to!
Any additional comments?
My advice is while the book is not bad it is not one of Niven's best and would best when it is on special.

The story might be great—the narration isn't
This is like listening to a completely disconnected set of phrases. I bet the book is okay, but I can't stand more than a few paragraphs before switching to something else. How is it possible to take a collection of sentences and read them without any of the original meaning intact? Poo!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A book I enjoyed reading so much I decided to listen to it as well...about 15 years later. A comfortable old friend to hang out with.
Any additional comments?
Well thought out universe with realistic sociological, economic an scientific features. Sure to be enjoyed by all but the most speckle-shy!

This Review Needs a Title...So, I
Boring book. Listened to this as long as I could stand. The sci-fi happened long ago before the book began and the book was just one, long, soap opera. I got bogged down in the main character's life events and couldn't extricate myself from the minutiae, so I quit reading. Maybe it has a good conclusion, but I'll never know!

No story
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A plot.
What was most disappointing about Larry Niven’s story?
No story. Kept waiting for something to happen. Had lots of potential.
Have you listened to any of Paul Michael Garcia’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Liked the narrator and would listen to him again.
What character would you cut from Destiny's Road?
Characters were all interesting just not expounded on.
Any additional comments?
Couldn't finish the book it was so boring.
