Story4.5 out of 5 stars 898
Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,426
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

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.

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.

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Good premise and lots of action!

Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Solo Narration
The heroine: Bretdon - the world is at war with aliens called the Taucet, so humans created cyborgs to fight the war for them. The government doesn’t want any civilians to know that cyborgs are in fact human, they can get hurt, feel pain, they have feelings and a soul, they just have some enhancements that make them superior in battle. Though they have some code that keeps them on a tight leash. They are basically slaves to the humans.
The Hero: Ophelia - she lives in the city and is on her way across the country to the mountains where her mother lives. Her mother has been getting on her for not visiting since the war began, but really it can be dangerous out there. Roads have fallen into neglect, and it is the height of the winter, so mountain driving isn’t exactly safe, not to mention the fact that the Taucet have taken thousands of human females as slaves.
The Story: Bretdon and the rest of his cyborg army unit are clearing out a town that was taken by the Taucet when he sees two of the aliens running away from the town. He gives chase and doesn’t capture them till they are far away from the town. He can’t just run away, like he wants and live free because he has coding that will cause him pain if he tries to desert the military.
Bretdon comes across Ophelia while she is driving and talks her into opening his computer panel and entering the codes that will disable his virtual chains and free him. After that they have to stay together to get away from the government. He, because he is running and her because she now knows too much about cyborgs.
The story has a good premise and a lot of action. Though the writing was a bit simplistic. I was actually surprised to find out how many books this author had written. I did like the characters, and I am very fond of cyborg romance stories, so this wasn’t too bad, and I gave it a 3.2 overall.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by virtual voice, computer-generated narration. Now there are quite a few books on audible plus with virtual voice, none are done in dual narration, so I tend to only pick the ones done by a male voice that I like. For some reason I like male narrators much better than female narrators so if I get any books with solo narration, I tend to only go for the males. This one has a good voice and you can barely tell that it is computer generated.
