Hugh d’Avranches, Earl of Chester, is enraged when his hawk is killed by an arrow in the Forest of Delamere. When two poachers are caught, he orders their execution, yet neither of them fired the arrow. As Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret come to Cheshire to settle a series of disputes between Church and State, they are guests of the earl. But when they explore the castle and discover that the Prince of Gwynedd is being held there as a hostage, a number of questions arise.

Sorry to say the story dragged. Could have profited by more editing. i enjoyed others in this series more.

On June 30, 1908, an object fell from the sky, releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history - or something else. Alien artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered.

Any additional comments?
This was more enjoyable than previous books, which featured only comic book characters and space shoot-em-ups. This was more like a Clancy thriller, especially at first. The characters were much better developed. Finally, it takes a lot to get me to write a review. That should count for something!

The Drakuls have found the solar system. A merciless race, there is nothing left once the Drakuls have conquered a civilization except the bones of its dead. When the first Drakul exploratory ship emerges from the stargate, Earth's days become numbered. Although LCDR Shawn "Calvin" Hobbs and the crew of the TSS Vella Gulf came back with a battleship from their last mission, it won't be enough to defend the solar system from the Drakul menace.

fun, not serious sci fi
Revisado: 02-25-15
I enjoyed the book. Before getting into it you ought to know that the author padded it with characters like archangels a guest appearance by elves. Don't hold up for strict adherence to the laws of physics, such as Newton's first law of motion. Still if you're looking for something enjoyable I'd recommend it.

Nox Dormienda is the award-winning debut novel of critically-acclaimed author Kelli Stanley (City of Dragons), and the first of a series in a new genre: Roman Noir. Featuring Arcturus, a hardboiled protagonist in the best Philip Marlowe tradition, Nox is a different kind of historical mystery, a suspense thriller that combines a classic noir style with the rich texture of the ancient past.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
1. The story is good, with nods to the classic noir characters.2. It is very well written, the characters and scenes are vivid, style is unadorned, enough to describe but never belabored.3. The narrator complements the hard-bitten detective style perfectly.I've listened to a number of entertaining detective stories set in ancient times, but this one is a head above the rest.

Life changes for everyone in general - and for physicist Dean Matthews in particular - when astronomers detect a radio signal from a nearby star. First Contact forces humanity to face hard questions, and do it fast. Every answer spawns new questions. Every solution sets in motion a new and more daunting crisis to challenge Dean, his family - and an expanding number of interstellar civilizations - or generations to come.

Way too many rough edges
Revisado: 12-06-12
What disappointed you about Origins?
Narrator: bland, distracting number of mispronunciations.Story: poorly edited - way too many anachronisms
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Editing - often uses sci-fi convention of "such and such was developed in the 20th century", but also used "photoshop" and "Enron" as verbs within a few hundred words of each other.
How could the performance have been better?
Narrator should perform, not read the text. Perhaps acting classes would help. Also look up words and pay attention to context to avoid mispronunciations. Example: - text: "suspect everyone" ... suspect is a verb - narrator: "Suspect: everyone", emphasis on 1st syllable of 'suspect', making it a noun. A dumb mistake unfortunately repeated several times
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
storyline had a lot of potential
Any additional comments?
purchase if discounted, otherwise give it a pass

These four inestimable works of rhetoric are meant to strengthen our understanding of what it means to be an American, and why the American political soul is so drawn to Divine Inspiration. Within these four great pronouncements of American conviction is the belief that while all people are equal, we are equal under God.

Religious right revisionism
Revisado: 05-05-06
The intro to this work trumpets the (erroneous) point of view that the United States was conceived in Christianity and dedicated to the proposition that all men are - or anyway should have been - created Christians. Anyone with more than a passing knowledge of Lincoln and the Founding Fathers knows it just ain't so. If you can ignore this distorted history then maybe you'd like it. I'll never know.
