Story4.5 out of 5 stars 733
His name was Biron Farrill and he was a student at the University of Earth. A native of one of the helpless Nebular Kingdoms, he saw his home world conquered and controlled by the planet Tyrann - a ruthless, barbaric Empire that was building a dynasty of cruelty and domination among the stars. Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why? His only hope for survival lay in fleeing Earth and joining the rebellion that was rumored to be forming somewhere in the Kingdoms.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 158
From Frederick Forsyth, the grand master of international suspense, comes his most intriguing story ever - his own. For more than 40 years, Frederick Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of arms dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has been chillingly plausible because every detail has been minutely researched.

A view within of my favorite author.

Mr. Forsyth has no bounds in seeking his goals and having them meet his aspirations. My only unhappy takeaway from reading his memoir is that I probably will never personally meet him. I would gladly buy him a pint. What a life he has led!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,302
In 1984, a doomsday vault was constructed on a remote island in the Arctic Ocean. Its purpose was to preserve Earth's genetic history in the event of a global catastrophe. Now, decades later, a second vault has been uncovered, this one resting where no one ever expected. And the problem is it's not ours. Yet even more curious than the vault itself is what lies inside. Seeds. Millions of seeds. Each with a genetic embryo untouched and perfectly preserved. Waiting.

It was a great experience as Dulce, Sally, Dirk and Allison unite and evolve. I cannot wait for the next part to find out what John is up to now. Scott’s performance was extraordinary allowing a peek behind the theatre curtain. How mammals actually interact with each other. I will follow through with the saga, holding my breath for the next chapter. Thank you.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 423
From coast to coast, our nation is witnessing a new wave of terror. Suicide bombers incite blind panic and paralyzing fear. A flight attendant tries to crash an airliner. A police officer opens fire on fans in a stadium. And at CIA headquarters, a deputy director goes on a murderous rampage. The perpetrators appear to be American - but they are covert agents in a vast network of terror, selected and trained for one purpose only: the complete annihilation of America.

The performance was a halting insufferable process that was not helped by the constant product placement. Sorry but I cannot slog through it.

Quite a tale told by a master.

The fact that there were several plots and sub plots to keep you guessing. Author is gifted and kept me wondering… what’s next? Enough reality to keep the story grounded yet kept the reader interested to see what’s next. I will read more of Michael’s work!

This book is scary with similarities to what humanity just went through
Reviewed: 01-06-25
The combination of Frank Herbert and Scott Brick is spectacular! The story develops slowly but leaves you in suspense throughout. The realism is palpable and even though it is far fetched Mr. Herbert somehow masterfully made it seem real. A great performance by Mr. Brick.

Frank and Brian Herbert together with Scott Brick it gets no better than this!
Reviewed: 12-24-24
You start with a premise that I have never encountered before, follow it with twists and turns in the plot that keep you guessing until the very end and then you have it performed by the man of 1000 voices Scott Brick and you have what has to be one of the most entertaining books of all times. The ending will floor you. The story flows so well that you wish for a second book with the same players. Thank you all.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 313
It is Christmas Eve, 1957. Flying home, on leave from Germany, he is alone in the cockpit of the Vampire. Sixty-six minutes of flying time, with the descent and landing - destination Lakenheath. No problem, all routine procedures.Then, out over the North Sea, the fog begins to close in. Radio contact ceases and the compass goes haywire. Suddenly, out of the mist, appears a WorldWar II bomber. It is flying just below the Vampire, as if trying to make contact.

What a story! Best of Mr. Forsyth to date. Shortest but yet the best.
Reviewed: 12-02-24
Having heard most of Mr. Forsyth’s books, I can attest that it must have been a wonderful privilege to hear his stories firsthand. The performance was first rate and even though it was enchanting throughout and somewhat predictable I could not put it down. Great listen for the holidays. Thank you Mr Forsyth.

Best-selling novelist Robert Littell employs all his considerable skills in telling the story of Kim Philby through the eyes of more than 20 true-life characters. When Kim Philby fled to Moscow in 1963, he became the most infamous double agent in history. A member of Britain's intelligence service since World War II, he had risen to become their chief officer in Washington, D.C. after the war. The exposure of other members of the group of double agents known as the Cambridge Five led to the revelation that he had been working for Russia for even longer than he had been part of MI6.
