I was hoping to hear more stories about exploration and the cadets on board, but the tale is mired in logistics and educational practices.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,077
Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of engineering officer jobs, until, at the graduation party, a classmate turned up dead. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation...and any semblance of civilized society. With a damaged second-hand ship and TIC interceptors dogging her step, she nets a smuggling contract that might just get her back on her feet and in control of her destiny. But only if she's willing to make an ore run back to the place she's wanted for murder.

Terrible narration, good story

Ugh, who wants to listen to a narrator that reads every sentence like a declarative statement? Intonation aside, there was seemingly little audio quality review. Spend your money elsewhere

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13,035
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Entertaining but misogynistic overtones not needed
Reviewed: 04-29-17
A lively tale with a keen look at a feudal lifestyle and challenges of life in a lifestyle reminiscent of the Middle Ages. Sadly the woman in the story are primarily portrayed as sex objects to be enjoyed by men. The main character's girlfriend is perfect except for her "large feet." And let's not forget how a large part of the plot hinged on "sex magic"... was this really needed?

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 6,234
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

A Detailed Indulgence
Reviewed: 02-21-13
Would you ever listen to anything by J. K. Rowling again?
I suspect that she had free reign to do whatever she wanted — after all, can an editor say "no" to the woman who enchanted the world with Harry Potter? The book was very luxurious with all of its tiny details — descriptions of what the characters wearing, doing, thinking. It could have easily been half or one-third the length, and the entire story STILL communicated. That said, the details are enjoyable and do flesh out the characters. Be prepared for a slow start.
What does Tom Hollander bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
If you want to listen a British man trying to portray Jay-Z rapping... well, here's your chance. His accent lends credence to what is, after all, a proper English story.
