Story
Death isn’t always the end. I was a soldier, fighting for the lives of the whole world, when I went and got myself obliterated by this magic alien monster. I figured that was it. Game over, done. But, then I woke up in a different body, in a strange world full of dust and ruins, with awesome martial arts skills I’d never had before. Not to mention a chi gift thing that seemed to work a lot like magic. And, there were these words seared into my brain like a motivational quote: You can save them. You can save all of them.

Imagine going to bed with mousy brown locks and waking up with a headful of supernova scarlet. It's a hot new look for me - literally, because it bursts into flames whenever I'm threatened. My magical makeover is all Gary's fault. I knew there was something off from the moment he transferred to my school. Go figure. He's a wizard with a trust fund and an inferiority complex. Now, thanks to him, I've graduated from high school bullies to supernatural terrors and that's not all. Fate has chosen me to face the legendary vampire destined to destroy the world.

An Interesting Collection
This is a great collection of short stories. I loved seeing the pictures which inspired Mr Saoulidis. I love his writing style and this collection doesn't disappoint. If you enjoy Sci-Fi and fantasy stories then you really should check out this collection, which gives you a nice taste of the author's writing. I found all of them enjoyable but liked some more than others. The narration was totally awesome! Donna Tellame and Don T. Lassen worked very well together. They gave the many different characters their own voices and emotions. They really helped to bring the varying stories to life. I loved listening to this collection and will continue to look for George Saoulidis' stories. You should give this collection a chance, you won't be sorry!

Get it ! ! !
I was rewarded with this book free of charge & as a thank you I'm offering my unbiased opinion & review . I love this audiobook , it contains 18 short stories on various topics . Every story is entertaining & amusing & I was constantly looking for the next one to see if it was as good as the one I just heard , it was . I rarely listen to short stories twice , but I did with some of these . The two narrators were excellent , they shared the stories brilliantly . I hope they narrate many more books because good narrators can really make a good book better .

This is an interesting collection of short stories. Each one is different and entertaining. The stories are well written and never leave you bored. Some I enjoyed more than others but as a whole this collection was a good listen. The author has created some wonderous worlds with just word prompts to get the inspirations going. The narrators work well together and pull you into each story giving each of the character its own particular voice and making this an engaging listen.

A bunch of fun stories with pictures.
This was really good. I love it when there are 2 or more narrators. Each story was a bite-sized morsel of fun and there were plenty of bites.

Unique short stories
This is the seventh book/story I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another.
Stories follow common threads about augmentation, futuristic technology, and semi-humans.
The stories are funny, original and very odd. Probably not for everyone, but I liked it. One of my favorite stories was Have You Tried Turning Her Off and On Again.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by these narrators ( Donna Tellame & Don T Lassen ). Some of the stories were told by both narrators- one of the narrators telling the story and the other doing the character voices, or he would tell the story and the male character voices and she would do the female, or vise versa. It was a mix and mash. It was a tad shocking at first, but then I got used to it and it started to work for me. I think both narrators did a good job and used an array of voices. Both told the stories with the appropriate amount of emphasis or excitement as needed.
There are some mild sex scenes, and swearing. There is not any overly descriptive violence.
