Quicker

An Ell Donsaii Story, Volume 1

De: Laurence E Dahners

Narrado por: Shiromi Nassreen

Quicker is a near-future SciFi/Thriller whose young heroine, Ell Donsaii, is an intrepid athletic phenom who reminds one of David Weber's Honor Harrington. Like Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Ell is also a mathematical genius who, instead of counting sheep, works on her own theory of quantum mechanics to help her drift off to sleep. At once shy and concerned about her social skills, yet well loved by those around her, she finds herself at the center of a terrorist plot at the Olympics. The terrorists never contemplated trying to hold a hostage with the unbelievable quickness and athleticism of Ell Donsaii! A tradition of young, strong, brilliant, female heroines like Honor, Lisbeth, and Katniss Everdeen is continued.

Awesome book

I really loved the concept of this mutation. I enjoyed the developing story of Elle and am looking forward to reading her adventure. Another thing is that I’m happy it was not a cliffhanger!!

Netflix needs to make this a series!!

OK, this is more of the kinds of stories. Laurie Donner amazes me with! Siri misspelled your name sorry. Great story totally enjoyable. Couldn't put it down. I'm gonna buy the whole series. The narrator was absolutely perfect!

Upbeat positive SciFi story

This is a kind of sweet coming of age story about a young woman with some special skills. The message, that humility, great skill and beauty can coexist in the same person. The characters, though not deeply developed are likeable when they’re supposed to be and not likeable when not. There are depictions of Arab terrorists that seem mostly free of stereotype and bias, but I’m an old white guy so a cannot speak to that authoritatively. Ditto for issues of gender and sexuality (although there are no characters that fall within these concerns). Anyway, a benign, easy way to spend a couple of hours.

Sci-fi True to it premise

The story grabbed me by about chapter 2 or 3, and never let me go till the very end. I was uncertain during the prologues as to whether I would enjoy the book. I found the narrator to be a bit flat in her reading. however once the story grabbed me I totally lost track of the narrator and was immersed in the story.

Excellent!

Great story, can't wait for next one to be availabe in audio form. actually have them all in ebook.
