About this listen
The very best person to catch your killer...is you.
In the near future, scientists solve the problem of mortality by learning how to back up and restore a person's memories into a vat-bred clone. When Secret Service agent Ronan Doonan is brutally murdered, he's brought back from the dead one more time to hunt his killer, but this time those who wanted him dead are much closer to home.
Matt Forbeck has worked full-time on fiction and games since 1989. His work has been published in at least a dozen different languages.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Decent
Not my favorite book, but not horrible. I'll give it a solid 6 out of 10.

An interesting tale with a moral
Don't let the lack of reviews make you think this is a bad book because it's not. I had no issues with the narrator and think they did a pretty good job. They definitely were better than the female narrators who feel the need to get all breathy and sexy sounding or the male narrators that sound ridiculous when they pretend to be a female voice. This narrator didn't take anything away from me listening to this book. The book itself was an interesting story, kind of a what if.
It was rather refreshing not to have to get through sex scenes and a lot of cursing to enjoy the book. I don't have a problem with either one but they do get tiresome and this book was refreshingly void of that.
It isn't knock your socks off action but it is a good stable story. I'm glad I read it.

It was a decent book
Although my mind wandered off here and there, it was a decent pretty cool book. So refreshing to not have to hear about sex ad profanity lol it’s like authors of this genre love to include that stuff it takes away from the story

So-so Story... Awful Narration!
What would have made Amortals better?
The author took the time to learn and incorporate accurate details of the DC area. Yet the narrator didn't put any effort into the pronunciations. For example, every mention of the Potomac river is pronounced pa-tow-mAc rather than the pa-tow-mic which should be used by a native, like the main character. This is just the most annoying and obvious of such mistakes.
Additionally, the fact that the author is constantly referring to the river by its name is also somewhat infuriating. As the only river in the DC area of any major size and the only one featured in the book at all, is it REALLY necessary or logical to be calling it by it's proper name every other page? Haven't you established it is THE river?
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I haven't gotten there yet. Its so bad that I may not. I will update if I do.
Would you be willing to try another one of Hayward Morse’s performances?
I doubt it.
Any additional comments?
While this was an interesting concept, were I the author, I would fire my editor for letting me get away with the mistakes here.
If you are going to bother, buy a paper version. As least you can skip over the major flaws.

Interesting hook, dryly told
I liked the premise of cloned law enforcement better in The 6th Day with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This story was lighter on action and personality, placing all of its bets on the hook of transferring consciousness into newly grown bodies.
The philosophical questions about life and connection were interesting … just not enough to sustain a ten hour book. There’s also a lot of time spent on building up the concept of family, not to mention dwelling a lot on the DC area. Finally, while the narrator was pretty good with an Indian accent, his overall delivery was as dry as the source material. This was an okay listen on sale, but I have no desire to hit play again.
