Cut out with an Audible goodbye in what otherwise seemed like the middle of the final lecture. Overall I enjoyed the lectures and learned things I didn’t know about the period following the conquest. She was talking about castle building and then...

Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Excellent!

Although the premise of the story is never explained, the narrative drive is pure science fiction at its best. Take a concept, turn it over to explore all angles, and see how complex characters cope.

In the kingdom, radical Protestants are driving the old religion into extinction, while the Protector's prolonged war with Scotland has led to hyperinflation and economic collapse.

Best Yet

I’ve been a fan of this series since the first book, and Tombland has become my new favorite. Nothing is simple, and history’s lessons are there for our time. Quite enjoyed the extensive historical notes at the end.

Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers quickly close up shop. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive, they tell her—feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it.

Good story marred by bad narration
Revisado: 09-19-17
Would you consider the audio edition of Sourdough to be better than the print version?
No, I'm sure I would have enjoyed a print version more than this narration.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sourdough?
I'm an avid customer of my local farmers' market, but now I look at the vendors and their wares with a slightly different curiosity. It made me want to start baking sourdough bread again!
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator's voice was fine, and actually went well with the whimsical/magical realism feel of the story.
But...the butchered pronunciations of many terms -- especially, but not exclusively, local place names -- threw me right out the story. For one example, it's not CLEM-ent street, it's cle-MENT street.
While the author seemed to have a good knowledge of the Bay Area, the audio production team clearly did not and failed to do their homework.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Unfortunately, listening to it made me cringe because of the regular mispronounced words.
