About this listen
Short story author Andrew T. Jayroe brings you Amid Six Worlds, including three titles previously published on Amazon Kindle and three original titles never before seen! These include:
1. "Left": A story of a girl who struggles to identify with her twin brother who was born with a demonizing birth defect in a dystopian world that values genetic perfection.
2. "Strange": A bumbling scientist accidentally releases a strange material with potentially apocalyptic repercussions.
3. "Walk": After the recently departed suddenly reanimate, one undead follows his single, driving desire: to walk.
4. "Hunter's Hell": When Richard Hunter has a terrible car wreck on his way home after a devastating divorce, he finds himself in a hellish recreation of his home town filled with terrible, demonic creatures.
5. "Touch": A fantasy story that served to inspire Andrew T. Jayroe's upcoming novel series The Lords of Anthair in which a reluctant assassin is sent to use his terrible power to murder an innocent child who is destined to throw down the gods.
6. "Lorekeeper": When a young girl in trouble comes to Nyle Reed begging to be taken to a planet in the middle of nowhere, he finds himself in a battle against forces of biblical proportions.

Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

“Are you happy with your life?” Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the kidnapper knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man he’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.” In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife.

Therese Wolley is a mother who has made a promise. She works as a secretary, shops for groceries on Saturdays, and takes care of her two girls. She doesn’t dwell on the fact that her girls are fatherless, mostly because her own father abandoned her before she was born and she has done just fine without him. Even though her older daughter regularly wakes with nightmares and her younger one whispers letters under her breath, she doesn't shift from her resolve that everything will be fine.

It is not just the living ships of the monstrous Gorgons or the motion-blurred shock troops of the armored Cyphers that endanger the holdouts in the human bastion of Panther Ridge. The world itself has turned against the handful of survivors, as one by one they succumb to despair and suicide or, even worse, are transformed by otherworldly pollution into hideous Gray Men, cannibalistic mutants driven by insatiable hunger.

Claire Huntley and her brother, Poe, were on a midnight hike in Montana when the woods went wild. A blinding, devouring light and a rumbling pulse that blasted them off their feet left both kids with little memory of what happened. Their father insisted it was a violent extraterrestrial abduction; his wild obsession would tear their family apart in the wake of the trauma. Fourteen years later, Claire, who’s battled anxiety attacks since that fateful hike, wants to heal her relationship with her brother, which has been damaged by his years of addiction.

Michael Evans is only in rural St. Davids to maintain a low profile after his time spent as a city cop ended in disaster. The town is perfect for him: isolated. A tiny population. Virtually no crime. Until the night the strange canisters fall from the sky and the town priest starts killing people with his teeth. To Michael, the bloodbath looks like a murder case that the quiet town's two police officers can't possibly handle.

Tesser, the dragon of life itself, is one of seven: Earth’s primordial draconic guardians, destined to oversee its development and safety. Species rose and fell, and 10,000 years ago...Tesser disappeared. The golden dragon woke up this morning, buried deep beneath the city of Boston, with no idea how he got there, and no idea how humanity grew so fast and learned so much while he was away. He is lost, a fish out of water. Where is the magic? He’s got a lot of catching up to do if he’s going to find his missing sister and stop an incursion of daemons from beyond the Veil.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book is a collection of six main stories. So, I could listen to one story and stop for the day, starting the next story on the next day. That way, I wasn't left wanting to read more everyday, which is the typical case with long single story novels. In other words, this book is good for day-by-day consumption.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Not the individual endings of the different stories per se; but some of the stories sounded like they had elements "borrowed" from popular movies / shows. While listening to the story, I kept thinking "hey.. this is how it happens on that movie" (won't spoil the book). That somewhat tarnished the book's originality.All in all, I like 2 of the stories. The others were kinda meh for me.
Any additional comments?
I voluntarily received this copy for free from the author / narrator / publisher and am leaving an unbiased review.Good and bad - 50:50. Borrowed elements.

These were some new original and intriguing stories. I will definitely look for more by this author. My favorite was the last one. Love the idea of that story. Can't give it away so I'll just leave it at that. It was really good!
I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.
Great stories!

Any additional comments?
Like other reviewers here, I found the ideas for some of the stories to be very interesting. So interesting, that I wished the author had expanded them with backstories and more comprehensive plot/character development. My two favourite stories were "Left" and "Hunter's Hell", while the others didn't leave much of a lingering impression on me. I would have enjoyed "Strange" more, if the main character had been more likeable.I thought that the narrator did a good job with descriptive passages but I was less enchanted with the various voices of characters (especially female voices). It's a bit disappointing because when I get carried away with the story, the grating character voices knock me out of my listening groove and I become less focused in the story itself.
I provided my opinion in exchange for a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author, narrator, or publisher.

Short story author Andrew T. Jayroe brings you Amid Six Worlds, including three titles previously published on Amazon Kindle and three original titles never before seen! These include:
1. "Left": A story of a girl who struggles to identify with her twin brother who was born with a demonizing birth defect in a dystopian world that values genetic perfection.
2. "Strange": A bumbling scientist accidentally releases a strange material with potentially apocalyptic repercussions.
3. "Walk": After the recently departed suddenly reanimate, one undead follows his single, driving desire: to walk.
4. "Hunter's Hell": When Richard Hunter has a terrible car wreck on his way home after a devastating divorce, he finds himself in a hellish recreation of his home town filled with terrible, demonic creatures.
5. "Touch": A fantasy story that served to inspire Andrew T. Jayroe's upcoming novel series The Lords of Anthair in which a reluctant assassin is sent to use his terrible power to murder an innocent child who is destined to throw down the gods.
6. "Lorekeeper": When a young girl in trouble comes to Nyle Reed begging to be taken to a planet in the middle of nowhere, he finds himself in a battle against forces of biblical proportions.
Have you ever read an anthology or collection of short stories and wanted more? Most times, these are from different authors with different themes. Andres T. Jayroe's Amid Six Worlds is a mix of science fiction and yes, it is based on six very different worlds. However, there is a unified theme throughout all six stories. Grief and the desire to aspire to be better! From the very first story, "Left" to the last with "Lorekeeper", you know you will be in for a "hold onto your sit, nothing held back" ride. Persephone Rose brings life to Jayroe's worlds. Whether it be making each character unique with accents or giving raw emotion, Persephone Rose does an amazing clear job of narrating.
Whether you are crying but cheering the main character in "Left", becoming more scientific with "Strange", revisiting undead themes with "Walk", going on an afterlife journey in "Hunter's Hell", learning true restraint in "Touch" or knowing true longing and sacrifice with "Lorekeeper", the combination of Jayroe's words and Rose's voice make Amid Six Worlds one of the best short story collections I have listened to in years. These stories bring me back to other titles I have feel in love with over the years. Such titles as Dark Matter, Warm Bodies, and Ender's Game to name just three. Each story stands alone and as the descriptions have stated, "Touch" continues to inspire the author, but all six stories fold beautiful into each other.
If you are looking to quickly feed your science fiction and fantasy addiction, add Amid Six Worlds to your audio book/library collection!

Persephone Rose did well; not allowing one to pre-judge if the tale was gonna be good and fulfilling or drowning in disappointment.
I would definitely listen to more by this narrator and I would be hesitant to pick up another book by this author.

I think my favorite was the one about the future society where abnormalities in children were shunned and not allowed to live. This resulted in some major upheaval in one family with tragic consequences. The reason I liked this story so much is because it not only points to a possible future, but also hearkens back to our past (think Nazi doctrine). I feel Andrew did a great job with such few words.
The narration was superb. Right on target with pace, emotional inflection, tone, etc. Really enjoyed listening to these stories.
