I had the pleasure of serving my country as a young woman in the early 80s, tho’ just reservist. I’m thankful for the women who went before me…those who served fur all generations! I would be interested in a compare and contrast of women who served in the USA to women who’ve served in other countries. Maybe I’ll one day do the research and write that story myself. There are a couple of great books out now loosely or maybe not so loosely written about women who have chosen to serve. The Women, The Six Triple eight My heart is full. Thank you for your serve and sacrifice to all who served fur!

Refreshing to read/listen to an intelligent, patriotic African American character. We do exist. I read another review that deemed the story unbelievable (haha), I get it. But apply that same remark to all the other perceived ‘blockbuster’ spy bestsellers. Unless it’s based on a true story none of them are totally believable if you think about it. From my perspective, I read to be entertained and with this story I absolutely was.

I’m obsessed with time travel books and this one resonated with me for sure. Great storyline and totally NOT predictable. Well worth my monthly audible credit.

Loved the story, bit the reader read unnecessarily too damn fast which took away from the audible experience.

I have come to really enjoy Ashley Antoinette stories, but this was not of the same caliber as the “Ethic” series but had I listened to this series first perhaps I wouldn’t be as critical.

I did enjoy but probably would have opted for a different reader.

Used my monthly Audible credit on another book that was mediocre at best, so started searching for one of the ‘included’ audibles when I came across this title. The summary was intriguing so I figured what the hell.

The reader has that raspy voice that makes it sound like he gargles gravel every morning which is great for the male characters, but takes imagination and some getting used to for the female characters, but all in all he did a good job. That with a decent storyline made for several entertaining hours of storytelling. Interesting make perspective even if it is fictionalization!

Patternmaster Audiobook By Octavia E. Butler cover art

I’ve been an Octavia Butler fan since back in the 80s at college when I first came across her book at The Black Student Union Library on Purdue’s campus.

I loved the type of sci-fi that’s not too incredible with spaceships and fantastical hardware. Though I read the series years ago I stumbled across this audible gem and it is one of the freebies with my subscription so jumped at the chance to re-introduce myself to Octavia Butlers work.

Good times!

I truly love reading the works of Ms. Beverly Jenkins. The historical interludes and the entertaining stories bring me a lot of joy. I would have never guessed I would be hooked on reading chickit, romance novels but as I live and breathe I’m reading one after the other. Thank you Ms. Jenkins !
