Story
When Alex and Diane meet, there are instant, undeniable sparks. Both are single parents living in wealthy suburbia: independent, highly competent, and seemingly settled in their comfortable lives. She runs a successful catering business. He's a detail-oriented, rough-hewn thief who robs banks, casinos, and jewelry stores. They're immediately drawn to each other, but neither realizes initially that their lives have overlapped once before, under dangerous circumstances. Soon their shared history and burgeoning relationship will threaten everything they love.

I read and listen to a lot of books but review very few. This book was a complete surprise. Tight, well-paced and conceived, I loved the story. A heist tale is easy, making it this good is near impossible.

Story
As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.

I don’t write a ton of reviews, even if I enjoyed the book, but this deserves one. I really enjoyed the performance. Well produced, well acted, and a fun and tense story. Nicely done Audible, and I look forward to the next one

Narration by Ari Fliakos is, of course, flawless. Always a pleasure to listen to him act out a story.
I found the novel to be very good and definitely different than expected. The story does have some “rhythm” issues; it’s a little choppy at times, but still a good read.

Story
The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope. After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.

I’m shocked by just how good this book was. A good story should take you away, and this one certainly did. Excellent narration, well paced. Great.
