Solid tactical thriller w/ elements of mythology
Reviewed: 07-01-24
I thoroughly enjoyed this title, the author knows how to set hooks to keep the listener interested, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. The plot was easy to follow and I was invested in all the characters.
The author mixes a unit of former military trying to survive against a larger force with elements of various mythologies (mostly Greek) in storytelling - 2 of my favorite genres, but it may not be for everyone.
Some of the dialogue seemed unrealistic because people don't really talk that way but it was negligible.
The stakes were high and there were logical/realistic conclusions given the characters motivations and actions.
I can't wait for the next one!

Everything I like in a podcast

I've only listened to a few of Audible's podcasts but Tower 4 is amazing, I love the characters, the premise, the story, the performance, the sound effects. This is a very enjoyable, highly entertaining and interesting podcast. I always want to know what's going to happen and can't wait for the next episode!

Great book, perfect Narrator
Reviewed: 03-11-24
I rarely think narrators are perfect, but this one is.He did a superb job of not just reading the book and the action scenes but of doing the voices of each character and getting pretty darn close to the actor that portrayed them in the movie. Great audiobook, pick it up!

If you're a fan of the movie, definitely pick up this book. The prequel audiobook version of Infinity War (the movie) is called Avengers Infinity War Destiny Awaits. That book is amazing as well!

Lots of practical knowledge
Reviewed: 07-11-23
Be forewarned, the format of the book is just a bunch of Q and A's with published game designers which can be a little repetitive. I didn't mind though, I enjoyed the content, the various answers, and the practical helpful knowledge. Definitely recommend this book if you are an aspiring game designer.

Story5 out of 5 stars 17,662
In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

Wow, what a ride!

Firstly, this narrator is great, I consider him to have perfect narrator voice and inflection.
Secondly, I had no idea the full story behind Ross Ulbricht and silk road until I listened to this book. There was so much more than just drugs being sold online.
The author did an amazing job with his research, I definitely enjoyed this book! If you are even remotely interested in it, pick it up!

I am not a video game developer but am an aspiring tabletop game designer although I've always enjoyed video games. The author is very knowledgeable in his craft and the fact that he taught himself how to do everything that he did for this game is impressive. I learned a lot especially in the business and marketing aspect of publishing a game that could easily help with tabletop games. Glad I picked this one up.

A must have for new entrepreneurs
Reviewed: 02-26-22
I couldn't imagine trying to start a company without listening to this book. It provides so much information and food for thought for an up-and-coming business owner or entrepreneur. The author discusses taxes, fees, licenses company valuation, logistics, manufacturing, forming an LLC and other types of companies, the psychology and behavior behind running a company, hiring employees, conforming to laws and more. If you're an established business owner maybe this information isn't new to you but for any up and coming entrepreneur, I absolutely recommend this book.

Life as a knight is not what Vedren Chel imagined. Bound by oath to a dead-end job in the service of a lazy step-uncle, Chel no longer dreams of glory - he dreams of going home. When invaders throw the kingdom into turmoil, Chel finds opportunity in the chaos: if he escorts a stranded prince to safety, Chel will be released from his oath. All he has to do is drag the brat from one side of the country to the other, through war and wilderness, chased all the way by ruthless assassins.

I had a lot of trouble with this book keeping my attention. A lot of characters, a lot of dialogue, slow on the plot, slow on the action. The narrator was pretty good but there was a volume issue where I had to listen to it louder than I normally do in my car which is fine except for when the my GPS app starts to give directions then I would have to turn the volume down, then back up again.
