Acerca de esta escucha
Ballerina Lucia del Mar has two great passions: dance, which consumes most of her waking hours, and the Internet, which brings the outside world into her tightly regimented life. These two passions collide when a White House performance and reception leads to an encounter with handsome Moroccan businessman Rashid al-Jazari, creator of a brilliant technology that has set the Internet rumor mill ablaze.
A second, seemingly chance meeting with Rashid plunges Lucia into a deadly world of desire and intrigue, for although his work has implications she cannot foresee, there are those who do understand and would turn its great power to their own destructive purposes.
As Lucia is drawn deeper and deeper into Rashid’s life and work, cut off from the outside world, she finds herself becoming more attracted to him. But is her seclusion within Rashid’s well-guarded Moroccan home intended to ensure her safety - or her silence? And is it already too late to stop the terrible consequences his new technology could unleash?

Historia
Captain Cherry Pendit is a very improper oracle. A proper seer warns the hero, then retires to the luxury of her temple while the hero saves the day. Pfft. Boring. Cherry doesn't need a hero to defy fate. In fact, she intends to rescue the hero. There might be a few bumps along the way—like an entire alien species her oracular talent didn't warn her about—but Captain Cherry Pendit of the Delphic Dame is prepared to adapt and overcome. If only the pirates, the good guys—who might be bad guys—and her allies would just stop freaking interfering by pushing their own stupid agendas.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

Historia
The kingdom of Breodanir is in turmoil. Even the merchant roads in the heart of Breodanir can become wild, unknown places between one step and the next; some have walked those roads, never to return. Now, more than ever, Breodanir has need of Hunter Lords as symbols of strength and stability. Stephen of Maubreche and his huntbrother Nenyane have been summoned in disgrace to the King’s City. They, and other hunters who have rejected Hunter oaths, are to be schooled in the necessity of the oaths they’ve rejected.

Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research-and-development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me. I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide.

Historia
Huntsmen, according to the Church, were damned, their blood unclean, unholy. Yet for Rosemary and Aaron Harker the Church was less important than being ready to stand against the Uncanny as not being prepared could lead to being dead. The year is 1913. America—and the world—trembles on the edge of a modern age. Political and social unrest shift the foundations; technology is beginning to make its mark. But in the shadows, things from the past still move. Things inhuman, uncanny. And the Uncanny are no friend to humanity.

Centuries in the past, mankind fought a seemingly unbeatable adversary from sector to sector across the Spiral Arm until the war ground to a standstill and the Enemy withdrew. Believing that they had won, the citizens of the galaxy rebuilt. The Inner Worlds, which had escaped the worst of the war's ravages, became even more insular, while the Rim worlds adopted a free and easy way with law and order. Now, hundreds of years after their withdrawal, the Enemy is back - and this time they'll be satisfied with nothing less than the extinction of the galaxy.

Helpful to know publication date
The most significant part of The Veiled Web was the end when Audible announced that the copyright was 1999. So it was set in a future 2010 and Audible-released March 2013. The dates explained a lot and I wish I had known the publication date right from the start.
This was an imagined development of the internet to the point where deeply philosophical questions could be asked. Here's one: can more animated computers generate scenarios that involve conscience and life purpose -- hey, that's not too far from the way computers are operating-dominating the contemporary world! Mmmm.
There's more: the beauty and passion of dance where the hero strives for perfection -- worlds away from technology.
Also there's travel to exotic lands. And villains.
Now add the question: can fervent Roman Catholic marry fervent Moslem and bring up children together.
An interesting mix, read with conviction. Well, I think the narrator was actually better than the book really. Yes, it was an interesting plot but it relied on the ballet dancer to make silly decisions. This silliness rather fitted with her irritating conviction that she was not particularly clever -- yet she was obviously highly successful in her own right. Yawn.
Ultimately I felt that the writer became rather repetitive and it sounded as if she was trying to convince herself that these scenarios would work. Yes, I confess to a bit of fast forwarding which I rarely do.

sweet romance with a little adventure
Where does The Veiled Web rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a romance novel at its core. But more interesting than most. It's set in an exotic location and has an interesting conflict at the center. I was surprised that I didn't find it corny. Just sweet. Innocent in a way.
I listened to it with my wife who also found herself surprised by how much she enjoyed it. Really liked the narrator.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Veiled Web?
It mixes the romance with a little adventure and suspense that gives a nice balance and keeps you engaged. But basically it is a gentle story about gentle people.
Have you listened to any of Caroline Shaffer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. But I definitely will. I think she is one of the reasons we liked it so much. She kept it from being too corny. She has a lovely feminine voice but gave a wonderful depth to the male character.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well the book isn't overly deep or complex. So when I found myself caring about the characters and wanting them to come together I think I was surprised. They wanted to be good people.

An interesting interpretation of a past future.
If not for the invention of the microprocessor, smart phones, Google, and the world changing events of 9/11, this would have been a great message of hope. but with 20 years of history from the publication date, there's a lot in here that speaks of hope for the future from a past that couldn't have seen all that a decade would throw in its path.

Good book, but not in my ideal genre
Good, good story. I like many scifi/fantasy. But not this particular style. A bit political, but a political concept I agree with though think it might never be attainable. Unless one religion destroys all others.

For the open-minded
A unique and compelling story, but perhaps too ambitious many readers. A tame romance combined with artificial intelligence, nano technology, and Islamic/Christian issues, this book takes on a heavy set of circumstances to explain and weave together. It touches on the possible social implications of advanced technologies in the wrong hands; and, the social complexities of religious differences in relationships. The writer does an excellent job of decriminalizing Islam and gives us ignorant Christians a glimpse into a world we too often assume is evil. If for no other reason, listen to this one to gain a brief view of a religion we hear in the news, but do not understand.

Little better than a Harlequin romance
If I wouldn't have had an extended time where I wanted something to listen to that didn't require any real concentration, I wouldn't have listened beyond the first chapter. But it worked for that purpose of providing background noise. The narration was fine...for that kind of book, but the narrators tone of voice had a dreamy, wonder filled, romantic quality that I find very off-putting. The book filled my need for background noise...so I'm glad I had it to listen to...but will I listen to it again? Absolutely not.
However, all that being said, I am aware that many people really like this kind of book...complete with the necessary impossibilities. If you're in to romance novels with a touch of tech thrown in, I think you'll really like it. If not, I'd suggest skipping this one.
