It was a day like any other when suddenly the world changed. The universe reached a threshold humanity didn’t even know existed, and it was time to finally be integrated into the vast multiverse. A place where power is the only thing anyone can truly rely on.

Reviewed: 01-02-24
The story line is engaging. The swearing is off putting. I am ok with being one who wants to listen to a good story but doesn't want the swearing. After all with that I cannot share my books with my kids.

Jake has finally found a personal goal of his own as he gains a quest to defeat three more Beast Lords before he can face the final opponent of the Tutorial: The King of the Forest.

In another region of the Tutorial, turmoil amongst the humans quickly died down after a disastrous battle leaves nearly everyone except the Metal Mage William dead.

Good Story Ruined by Swearing
Reviewed: 01-02-24
This is a good story and the voice actor does a great presentation, however, this is ruined by pervasive swearing throughout the story. I like to listen to books that I can share with my kids. This is one that does not make the cut.

In a world inundated with sales books on getting to yes, this audiobook recommends just the opposite, focusing on how increasing your failure rate can greatly accelerate your movement toward ultimate success. Go for No! chronicles four days in the life of fictional character Eric Bratton, a call-reluctant copier salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself in a strange house with no idea of how he got there.

It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind. Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown.

The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer's career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track - until the recession hits and she gets downsized, furloughed, escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is one of the "lucky" associates. She's offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she'd get her old job back. In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about.

Not a good story

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If there was an actual story
Has Gray Mountain turned you off from other books in this genre?
From John Grisham it has....this sounded more like a journal entry and then it just stopped
What didn’t you like about Catherine Taber’s performance?
Her performance was fine
What character would you cut from Gray Mountain?
I would actually like all the characters if there was an actual story
Any additional comments?
This book meandered alone and never really got anywhere....then after 14 h just when I thought the story would begin it was over.

There are some voice actors who do a good job, there are some who do a great job and then there are the few who do the best job. Gerard is one of those voice actor's who I actually search for before I do the author. I want to see what he has recorded and often buy based on that!

For even as the Allies and the Empire of New Britain Isles stand united against the attacks of both the savage Grik and the tenacious Japanese, the "Holy Dominion" - a warped mixture of human cultures whose lust for power overshadows even the Grik - is threatening to destroy them both with a devastating weapon neither can withstand.

- Firestorm
- Destroyermen, Book 6
- By: Taylor Anderson
- Narrated by: William Dufris
Fantasy mixed with seeming Non-Fiction
Reviewed: 07-14-14
What made the experience of listening to Firestorm the most enjoyable?
The author is consistent with allowing an equal measure of success by the allies but random acts of defeat by the evil empires they fight. Mixed in is a creative use of US Military might circa 1950. The story if fun almost seems real at times!!
If you’ve listened to books by Taylor Anderson before, how does this one compare?
This was book 6 in the series...I have listened to them all! And will listen to the remaining ones to see if the epic battle will end all conflict. At times I want to see it made into a movie or tv series and then I would rather the imagery to stay with the book.
What about William Dufris’s performance did you like?
I love this audio actor. Different voices, lots of expression...you can almost see the facial expression of the characters as he reads their parts.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
no laugh no cry but I think I may have done a fist pump or two after successful campaigns

Would you consider the audio edition of Winter of the World to be better than the print version?

Who was your favorite character and why?
There were too many to ignore so it is hard to pick one that stands out. I do wish that Lady Maude played a bigger role during the German occupation.
What does John Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
it is fun to hear his interpretation of the various characters especially the American service men.
