In the summer of 1601, Galileo Galilei made a startling discovery in the mountains of Eastern Italy that, if made public, could shatter faith in religion, bring down governments, and lead to worldwide turmoil. For more than 400 years, the secret has been guarded by a small group of incredibly powerful people, willing to do everything in their power to keep these discoveries from being made.

Dumb Ending
Reviewed: 12-27-19
The ending pissed me off just like the ending of Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. After everything they go through to get at the truth, they bury it. This time it's worse because the people doing the burying are supposed to be scientists. The excuse they are given by the antagonist is stupid and racist, and the excuse they give themselves doesn't make any sense. I guess there's a Dan Brown formula that most be adhered to, but WHY? This so-called reasoning, if it were to take hold on real life, would stifle the progress of all humanity more than it already is.

Ringil's "we stop them here" rant is some of the best narration performance I've had the pleasure of hearing.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Kiddo survives - it's what she does best. And since the world ended, staying alive is a useful skill to have. She and her found-sister, Princess, have created a home for themselves in the forest, and a refuge for the other children who survived the end. Hunting animals, harvesting herbs, treating wounds - this is what Kiddo remembers of her life before, and little else. But the young man they call the Saver claims to remember everything, even when the rest of the children who survived cannot.

GREAT STORY AND CONCEPT FOR AN APOCALYPSE!

Best narration in a long time
Reviewed: 08-06-15
There were times when it was hard to believe that there was only one narrator. Ms. Marquis flowed so smoothly from one character to the other I forgot I was listening to an audio book.
Ghost City is a strange tale, but one I enjoyed from start to finish. Even though it can be said that post-apocalyptic teenage heroines are a dime a dozen these days, Kiddo stands on her own, and the supernatural elements to this story are unlike anything I've read in recent memory. Do yourself a favour and listen to this audiobook.

Story5 out of 5 stars 161,470
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. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

The narrator did an excellent job bringing all the characters to life. Especially Mark, in the log entries and dialogue with Earth. The story itself is very well crafted, with the science explained clearly without sacrificing pace. Thrilling conclusion.
