Story4 out of 5 stars 539
In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

Give us more, more characters to round out the major personalities, more action to illustrate the moral choices. The plot and performance were to good to be so brief.

Maybe a bit light on character development. Or maybe I m just wishing it had been longer.

It should be a classic!
Reviewed: 2022-12-03
I loved it years ago. Maybe 30 years ago. Listening now, the writing style is a bit simplistic and the narration compounds that. However, it’s a great plot, with compelling characters and a wonderful old airplane.
Ironically, it would be great teen fiction, except for a few sexual interludes that are a bit explicit for kids.
But I am old enough to have read it when it was new.

Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made? Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process...When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home. But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

I’m thrilled there are more in the series. I love local voices in audiobooks: Australian, Irish, American South, but this Scottish brogue was the best. The plot and characters were well up to standard. I wouldn’t listen just for the accent!

In Craig Johnson's latest mystery, Depth of Winter, an international hit man and the head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt's beloved daughter, Cady, to auction her off to his worst enemies, of which there are many. The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less. Walt heads into the 110-degree heat of the Northern Mexican desert alone, one man against an army.

I missed Absaroka County and Vic and Henry and Dog.
I did like the seer but I think Walt should stay out of Mexico. Please.

Not for snobs
Reviewed: 2018-09-22
The narrator is over the top; picture a hedonistic Batman, and yet, I kept listening. Great reader, lots of NYC atmosphere, and a very appealing protagonist. The plot is a piecing together of overblown characters and action adventure, but how many sophisticated plots can we expect from such a prolific author? He does this stuff very well.
I think the Dakota May have more tenants fictional than real.

After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now, more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.

Five stars because I immediately downloaded the sequel and I’m waiting for number three from this author.
As a Canadian, I identified with the wilderness and the drought and how it affects the locals. Solid characters and suspense to the end. And then the accent, one of the best advantages of listening rather than reading
