Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
Maxim Volt worked very hard NOT to become the local madman. He didn’t plot doom upon his enemies (even when they deserved it). He didn’t stitch together monsters with parts 'recycled' from the local graveyard. Why, he barely allowed himself a maniacal laugh or two! And yet, he still somehow ended up getting kicked out of university, banished from the family estate, and inheriting a decrepit castle high in the mountains of Eastern Europe, complete with a spooky but devoted maid.

Quirky Fun
Reviewed: 04-05-25
I wasn't sure what to expect but this turned out to be a fun quirky book. A mad scientist/steam punk/monster world that takes place around the turn of the 19-20 century. Quirky fun because of the mad scientist aspect going up against this books enemy.

Disjointed Continuation
Reviewed: 03-23-25
A continuation book that has way to much jumping around in the story and a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 112
After years of clearing out the initial floors of dungeons so that famous teams could take the real prizes, I was around about ready to call it quits. But after getting myself dragged into the final floors of a legendary dungeon by a team of equally-legendary morons, I found myself as the only survivor – and the only one to claim the legendary prize on the dungeon’s final floor.

Story4 out of 5 stars 98
When the over-driven hyperdrive on their mobile shipyard burned out, the Chhrt'ktk't abandoned it in an inhabited system along their path, hoping it would work as a decoy to buy them more time to escape the Khreetan fleet pursuing them. They didn't anticipate how far the pre-spacefaring species they turned over their broken-down maintenance facility to would subvert their plan.

Sort of drags along
Reviewed: 02-11-25
I realize this is a start of a trilogy but it felt like there was a lot of redundancy in the story telling that made it drag on.

Fun listen
Reviewed: 02-04-25
I've had fun listening to this series. I wasn't sure what to expect with the first book but for whatever reason it clicked and I really enjoyed it. Second book was also fun and then I thought that I was going to have to weight awhile for the 3rd book. Surprised it came out so fast and enjoyed it just as much as the other books.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 59
In the 1990s, Democrats supported balanced budgets, smaller government, border security, equal opportunity (not outcomes), reducing the deficit, and prioritizing blue-collar issues. However, according to Joe Concha, these are things that Democrats are against now. Today, Democrats want people to believe that they know what is morally right and that they have always supported their current views. However, Concha argues that nothing sums up the Democrats better than John Kerry's famous quote, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it."

Another great book from Joe Concha. Fun listen that made find me wanna get into my car for a long drive. My one knock is That Joe didn't do the reading. So, even though the reader was good, I think Joe would have been better.

Trae and Corey will take you from the smallest of small towns to major US metropolises (or is it metropoli? We haven't a fartin' clue!). They'll even cross the pond to sip tea in some of them fancy kings-and-castles places that PBS Viewers Like You can't stop yapping about. From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotland—no matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans. Even the most outrageous of us.

Are you prepared to denounce your neighbors, coworkers, even members of your own family? In the Peoples' United States, the content of your character means nothing, while the color of your skin means everything. Upon entry, you'll quickly learn to smile and bow as your Red Chinese 'comrades' rape America's resources. Check all critical thinking at the door. In the Peoples' United States, you must mindlessly toe the party's line. This is the World...

Brutal Start
Reviewed: 06-04-24
I really had to power through the beginning of this book. The beginning was brutal. I almost was going to return the audio book but then it slowly started to get better. In the end it was ok. It had the potential to be a lot better but I'm glad I listened to the whole story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
In November 1941, Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometers away. Army Group Center was pressed into the attack for one last attempt to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the German perspective, the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow.

A little leary
Reviewed: 04-29-24
I was a little leary at the beginning of this history book because they started getting into the daily deaths from the war. I had another WW2 book that did something similar and it made it brutal to listen to. But, it picks up after the first chapter and made for a very interesting listen/book after that point. I would have maybe like a little more post history after the failed attack on Moscow but, it does finish up ok.
