This is a very short story. I has a somewhat confusing circular story but managed to tell it well. The way the daughter vanishes and is stuck in limbo and then rescues herself over and over was interesting. The father seemed at times to be clueless and I am not sure if he ever figured out what the story was.

The story was interesting if short.

The narration was good.

The premise of drilling into the ocean on Europa seemed strange. Though the book did a decent job of portraying the characters with all their strong and weak points.

The professionalism of the scientist was stretched to the limit at times, but the book was decent.

The narration was outstanding.

This is a general overview for using AI in every day business. It gave suggestions on how to become knowledgeable and how to market yourself when you did.

The book also presented the many options where AI could be used (or were being used) to assist in streamlining the work flow of people.

It was informative, though it did not give any detailed instructions. But, honestly I was not expecting detailed ideas only general suggestions.

Good overview with good narration.

This is book two of a series. It continues well from where the first book left off. The story line of the two people involved and their interaction is great. The length the husband will go to protect and please his wife is well done also.
As always there are bureaucrats who try to make life harder and there are those who try to make life easier. Max and his wife run into both kinds of people and deal with them well.
Except for the “modern” language this could almost be a retro science fiction story. Of course there is is also the idea of FTL and other issues that were not a part of the books of my youth. But overall the writing was very good and the book was very entertaining. I have greatly enjoyed both books and hope this is not the end of the adventures.
The narrator did an outstanding job on the book. Very easy to understand and not boring or distracting.

Scary at points, but enjoyable. Narrator had English accent that gave my Southern ears a hard time, but I adjusted.

As usual Greg has done an exceptional job of keeping the hero humble and wondering about herself. This series has been one where you can never figure out where the story line is going until you arrive. I have enjoyed every book and this on is no exception.

The narration was spot on.

While the characters sometimes seemed overly native this was meant to be intertainment and not a battle dialog. They managed to make bad choices that required very clever plans to extract them. Fun read.

Narrator did good job with multiple characters and accents.

This book involves a young couple who meet in Egypt and get involved in an adventure to explore a previously unknown site. It escalates to the fact that they discover evidence of unknown civilizations that point to Antarctica and they become involved in an expedition to try and discover the existence of Atlantis.

The young man sometimes seems to be erratic and naive and the girl is easily panicked, but they manage to survive and grow close during their ordeal.

The narration was outstanding with multiple voices for the characters which include accents and emotion.

This is billed as book one and I am looking forward to followup books.

This is the first book of the Tara Stone series. Tara is an FBI agent who feels she is being held back because she is removed from a bank robbery case and put on what appears to be a streaming murder case. The book is a roller coaster of surprises as the various characters play out their parts. The culprit is not known until the very end of the story. Very exciting and enjoyable story. The narration was outstanding as is expected from Kafer.
