From star-nosed moles that have super-sensing snouts to electric eels that paralyze their prey, animals possess unique and extraordinary abilities. In Great Adaptations, Kenneth Catania presents an entertaining and engaging look at some of nature's most remarkable creatures. Telling the story of his biological detective work, Catania sheds light on the mysteries behind the behaviors of tentacled snakes, tiny shrews, zombie-making wasps, and more.

The reader’s nasal voice grates on my nerves. The story itself is very interesting though a little verbose at times.

Story4 out of 5 stars 270
Two years ago, the end began. In 2036, a rapidly destabilizing climate culminated in a worldwide snowstorm that froze the entire planet. Billions are now dead due to starvation, disease, civil unrest, and the plummeting temperatures. What remains of humanity now live in small settlements or isolated makeshift villages, carving out miserable lives in this grim new reality. Some, like Chris Weston, choose to travel among the vast winter wastelands between the bastions of civilization. In the aftermath of the great collapse, Chris finds himself strangely suited for this new world.

Really Chris
Reviewed: 12-20-24
Cris is too good of a main character. I do not believe that anybody could be that kind, benevolent, and built like a superhero at the same time. But other than that it is a really good story. He even has some holes in his knowledge which gives him a little bit of a human side.

Being a small dungeon on the outskirts of town in the backwaters of an unimportant kingdom isn't easy, but Kelsey's done her best to level up and become the best dungeon she can be: Digging a hole of ever-increasing depth and complexity. Creating an undead atmosphere that would make a necromancer proud. Spawning monsters and treasure. Killing adventurers. But lately, things have gotten a bit stale.

Learning opportunity
Reviewed: 09-16-24
The Dungeon is Alive. A sentient dungeon has recently achieved the capability of making an Avatar. Now she needs to learn about the outside world. The book does a good job of having the dungeon learn how the town near the dungeon operates and gain allies in the outside world. Ms. Leblang does a wonderful job of narration using different voices so you do not ever mistake who is talking. The dungeon does have limits and we learn the rules as the story progresses. The book kept me entertained throughout the whole book and I will be continuing the series.

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.

Our new villain is continually underestimated by the world's most vicious cabal. I really liked him and his cats. I know this book ended with a great conclusion but does have me wishing for further tales of this starter villain and his crew.

My master created me for his entertainment, leading adventurers to ruin. Betraying them at the last moment, just when their glorious victory was on hand. I have been found again by the newest member of a quartet of dungeon crawlers. Poor fool. This time will be no different. Or does it have to be? Maybe I don't need to spend eternity left in a deep, dark dungeon waiting to devour would-be heroes. Maybe, just maybe, I can take him over and use this new identity to leave and masquerade as an adventurer myself.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Great book
Reviewed: 08-31-24
This book moves along quickly and is very hard to put down. The characters are vivid and you are drawn into their Ideas and motivations cheering for them even though they do not always agree with each other. Robinson often hits you with surprises that have you wondering "Why didn't I see that coming" and then whisks you off in another direction. This will make a great movie if only they will have the insight to pick it up.

Glad I got it
Reviewed: 08-27-24
I got more interested in this book than I have in a while. I eagerly await the sequel to be produced and show up on Audible. The story moves well. There is good character development. The reader did a great job of getting the general feel of the book through to the listener. But if you are looking for the typical hard-core harem story you are going to be disappointed as there is a lot of sexual innuendo there are minimal actual sexual encounters (one). As I said I will be awaiting the sequel being produced and hopefully, it will not be long.

What if World War III had actually happened? Wonder no more, for these questions, along with many others, are answered in this audiobook.

Mispronounced words is getting to me
Reviewed: 08-20-24
Great stories with enough actual places and tech to keep the stories grounded in reality. Stories from all three of the series could have happened. There is a
Problem with pronouncing some of the words, for me, though is very distracting especially when it is repeated again and again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 331
In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

Others are correct
Reviewed: 04-29-24
The book is fairly good but is behind on some things and off on others (like humans getting Salmonella from Canids). Others who have reviewed it are correct in that they should have picked a different narrator. His voice is not good for this type of material and the fake accents are cringeworthy.
