Acerca de esta escucha
Four years after the destruction of the planeport, Earth remains cut off from Heaven. The angels and demons are in disarray, lacking direction and leadership. Someone has to step up and take control, and that person is...Mercury?
But when the demoness Tiamat finds out about Mercury's plan to reestablish contact with heaven, all hell breaks loose. Mercury finds himself at the center of a plot to rewrite Earth's history, and the only way to stop it is to travel back in time to prevent the plot from coming to fruition. Along the way, he accidentally travels to multiple parallel universes, meeting several alternate versions of himself and tearing a gaping hole in the fabric of reality.
Will the universe survive? Will Mercury be trapped in prehistoric Africa? Will we ever find out who Mercury's favorite Gilmore Girls character is? Listen to Mercury Shrugs to find out!

In the 23rd century, humanity has been hunted to the verge of extinction by an alien race. When an exploratory ship accidentally travels back in time to Viking-age Scandinavia, the human race is given a second chance. Pursued by the power-hungry King Harald, the four surviving crew members join a ragtag band of Vikings as they pillage their way across Europe. To save humanity, they must somehow return to the stars. Thus begins a decades-long effort to teach the Vikings to build a craft capable of reaching space - a ship that will come to be known as the Iron Dragon.

It's the year 2000 and the Silicon Valley city of Sunnyview is abuzz with the possibilities of vast fortunes to be made in the Dot Com boom. But to retired cop Benjamin Stone, who has come to Sunnyview to find his estranged daughter, Jessica, the promise of Sunnyview rings hollow. Benjamin grew up in Sunnyview in the 1950s, when it was a sleepy farming town, and he finds its modern day counterpart strange and weirdly insubstantial. After Jessica turns up dead in a creek bed, apparently murdered, Benjamin follows clues that suggest a conspiracy involving a startup company.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

It started as a simple heist. It went to hell from there. On a space station orbiting a pale blue sun, a package changes hands. Data too sensitive to transmit will be exposed for one brief moment. The client is paying a crazy sum - if the job is clean. That’s not going to happen. Instead, the galaxy’s unluckiest crew of outlaws will have to put all their resources into salvaging what they can from the job. Even if it’s only avoiding blame for the fallout.

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night, Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos that is the parahuman world.

Historia
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Don't let the other reviews scare you away
Don't let the other reviews scare you away. I almost let them. The other reviews mentions the change of narrator in such negative way that I worried it would ruin my enjoyment of the story. I am glad I bought the book in spite of this. The narration is perfectly fine and they even added some light audio drama on top. Which I felt worked well.
The story itself is even greater and manages to wrap this rollercoaster of a book series up in a way that unexpectedly explains everything in a way I didn't know I needed.

Worst narration in my 500+ library
I really liked this series. I was disappointed on book 3 when we got a new narrator, but I got used to him and enjoyed books 3 & 4. I have to go back and read book 5, Mercury shrugs. Rob murdered this story with whiney terrible voices. I don't think he bothered to listen to any of the other books to even get a feel for the characters. I own over 500 audio books, and have listened to 100's more with KU, and this was by far the WORST.

Love the Story. Bad narrator
I like the first stories so much that I continued only to find that they switched narrators and the two that have read since then have SUCKED! At least the production was better on this one than the last.

Enjoyed the series until now. Bad new narrator.
Every character either sounds like an aging queen or is ridiculously annoying. Couldn't finish book due to irritation level induced by narrator.

Worst narration ever since that person who did book 4
Worst narration ever, since that person who did book 4. I had to skip to the end of that one. I really liked the story, I’ve listen to almost all Kroese’s books, I wish they could have stayed with the narrator from the first three books. I’m not sure thus guy even pronounced the author’s name correct.

Character voices absolutely horrendous
The story was acceptable, not the best one in the series. However by far the worst part of this book was the narrator. I would rather listen to the narrator just dead pan the voices than the than have to sit through that again. Definitely recommend the series, however pick up the hard copies after the third book when Kevin Stillwell stops narrating.

Narration Quality Level: Dumpster Fire
Jarring. Insipid. Grotesque. Weedling. Excessive. Grating. Noxious. Offensive. Ruinous.
Let’s say you have a decent sharp cheddar cheese, that has the potential to be something delicious.
Let’s say you give this cheese to a professional cook, expecting them to do something beyond your own ability, which may even create the sort of memory you share with your grandchildren.
Now, when your chef returns your cheddar to you, transformed into a quivering radioactive gobbit of hellish goop, I personally believe curling into a ball and whimpering “make it stop oh god make it stop” is not an overreaction.
Book: cheddar
Narrator: chef
Me: crying lump of human on the floor
I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but maybe we can work together to find him a new career.

How completely confusing and childish it was
Hated the entire book. The read was bad and the narration just made it that much worse. I had to FORCE myself to complete it.
