Acerca de esta escucha
A troubled man's quest to uncover the secrets of his past leads to a chilling discovery. Tormented by guilt after the death of his fiancé, John Timmons lives life in a fog, retreating to his mountain cabin after work. While out hiking, a reflection catches his eye and he spots a small object sitting on a log in a nearby river. After a torturous journey down a ravine, he retrieves the object. It is mostly unremarkable but is engraved with the strange phrase "Project Daf Yasfhat." From this moment forward, John's life and those around him are never the same.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Historia
Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Intriguing story
What made the experience of listening to The Device the most enjoyable?
I really found myself getting involved with the characters. While the main character definitely experiences some rough patches, it was nice to be there with him as he discovers how all the different pieces of his life fit together. The story pulls you along quite well!
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Sam. I especially liked the narrator's vocalization of him. It was different than I had heard him in my own head when reading the book, but it gave him more character.
What does Kurt Feldner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
When I read the book, my interpretation of the main character had a lot of dry humor and sarcasm. The narrator instead imparted more of a sense of wonder, amazement and confusion than I originally sensed. It was a neat thing to see how the same body of work could be viewed in a different aspect, yet neither way is incorrect.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, although I couldn't. I also plan on going back and listening again with headphones. I played this over the stereo in my car & had a difficult time hearing some of the narration because of road and cabin noise. Being someone who appreciates fluctuation and dynamics, I think this a good thing. However, it is something to be aware of if you haven't listened to this audiobook yet.
Any additional comments?
The only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star rating is the fact that there is little to no pause between chapters. For the most part, this is not a huge deal, but as the end of chapters tends to be where big changes or cliff-hangers occur, it can sometimes detract from the dramatic effect that was originally intended. Other than that, great story and great audio!!

The reviews are correct...listen to this book!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Device to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the print version. This version is wonderful however.
Who was your favorite character and why?
John TImmons truly grows on the listener, and you end up caring for him, his life and family, and what happens to him really does matter. That alone is unusual.
What does Kurt Feldner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The day to day experience of living with the device, and the drama of learning more about it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Life is Rarely as it seems .
Any additional comments?
This is a remarkable audio book. In my top 10 of the year. Never quite knew where they were going with the story, and a satisfying resolution. HIGHLY recommended, and big call out to the other reviewers who moved me to grab it. Well, WELL worth the credit, and the time.

Intriguing and Interesting
Would you listen to The Device again? Why?
Sure, I probably would. There are a lot of things that I didn't pick up the first time through.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time, but a good portion of the time I was excited to find out what happens next. The main character has a lot of life baggage, therefore he could be unpredictable at times.
Have you listened to any of Kurt Feldner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first book that I've listened to that he has narrated. Overall, a solid performance. Many times I caught myself forgetting that I was listening to a book, and was immersed in the emotion of the story. I was specifically was impressed with the narrators ability to flip back and forth between characters.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A young man fights to learn of his past while dealing with the troubles of the present.
Any additional comments?
Solid performance and solid storyline. The story wraps up nicely, and overall an interesting story. Well done by the author and narrator.

Interesting concept
Would you listen to The Device again? Why?
Yes I would listen again. The story kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what was coming next.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It sure did! The plot took unexpected turns and I could relate to the characters. I was emotionally connected.
Have you listened to any of Kurt Feldner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first performance of Kurt Feldner I have listened to. I will definitely listen to another! The way he changed his voice to match the characters was amazing. I could picture each person in the story visually according to the voice change.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to listen to this book in one sitting but due to time constraints I was unable to do so.
Any additional comments?
With this being the first audio book I have ever had, I was impressed. I would love to have a sequel to this book with Kurt narrating. I loved the book and would highly recommend this to everyone. I look forward to more books written by Patrick Skelton and narrated by Kurt Feldner, they make a great duo.

Not as advertised
What would have made The Device better?
This book is not really a sci-fi story. There's no sci-fi in it until the final sixth. I honestly have no answer for why this book is so highly rated.
What didn’t you like about Kurt Feldner’s performance?
The reader was fine, the production was horrible.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Device?
I would have completely changed the story and emphasized the sci-fi elements. I would take out the anti-environmentalist theme. It makes the author seem like a dolt - he also needs to review his understanding of physics and medicine.
Any additional comments?
Audible needs to take this book off its recommendation list. It is really not up to snuff.
