Honor Harrington has survived ship-to-ship combat, assassins, political vendettas, and duels. But this time, Honor and her crew, ambushed and captured, are aboard an enemy ship, bound for a prison planet aptly named "Hell" - and her scheduled execution. Yet the one lesson Honor has never learned is how to give up. She and her people are going home--even if it means conquering hell to get there!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 288
In the industrial wasteland of future America, Solomon Herrick spends his day wandering the streets and getting into trouble. Staying one step ahead of the local PD, his life is mostly spent immersed in history or aimless exploring, until Shyft comes along. Whether that's a good thing or not is still up in the air. This box set contains the first three books: Defender of Gallowind, Stealthcaster, and Shadows of Elderand and is perfect for litRPG and gamelit listeners, both new and seasoned.

the characters have many difficulties to overcome. The Narrator is enough to recommend a story.

Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

great science fiction, LitRPG novel. the author relishes the 80s era. this book has the most to offer to those that remember that time fondly. this is fiction not a religious text.

The two tracks of plot line refresh each other. neither the uber powerful character nor the struggling noobs stories get old. the narrator's characterzations are excellent but sometimes weakened by his vocabulary. the occasional mispronunciations can be frustrating.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
i love this series. the narrator prefaced the performance with an announcement that all word pronunciations went through the author. I knew that had to be bad news. most of the significant names and locations including the MAIN CHARACTER are different. Right or wrong I've purchased and listened to the previous 4 books excellently narrated by Jennifer van dyke. now the flow is broken every time I have to translate the word that was said into the familiar places and people I've gotten to know so well.
Would you be willing to try another one of Susan Ericksen’s performances?
maybe. does she have a habit of jumping in and changing things her way? she tends to speak in a slow and ponderous manner.

I am frustrated and irritated. The book rabble rouses for its entirety, then refuses to provide a payoff. what about the primary (in my opinion) plot line? the book stops, not finishes. wait for the next one. GRRR..

NOT FOR CHILDREN
Reviewed: 04-24-09
this audiobook start out with a child announcing "audible kids".the story contains sex, profanity, alcohol and drugs. marsbound is a light space opera, quite enjoyable (if you like the genre),but not for the easily offended or children. obviously classified by someone who only read the synopsis.
