Story
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.

The story, the reader, and the production on this one are all amazing. Maybe even better than The Martian

Audio is the perfect format for this learning experience, and Greenberg is the perfect instructor. If you have any interest in Classical music, or desire to learn more about it, this is a very entertaining and enlightening listen.
I’ve listened to more than 600 Audible titles over the years, and I’m usually too lazy to bother to rate them, let alone write a review, but this one deserves special praise.

Story
In the waning days of his presidency, in January 1801, John Adams made some historic appointments to preserve his Federalist legacy. Foremost among them, he named his secretary of state, John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court-neither of them anticipating that Marshall would soon need to decide the most crucial case in Supreme Court history-Marbury vs. Madison.

Reviewed: 05-09-13
The topic is interesting and well covered in the Amazon reviews, but I found this book difficult to listen to, and would have gotten more out of it if I had just read the actual book. I have listened to a few hundred audiobooks over the past several years, but I have never heard one so poorly edited. There are many significant gaffes by the narrator that were inexplicably left on tape. Probably about 2 dozen or so. Sometimes they are quite amusing (listen for 1-2 minutes after the 2:30 mark and again at 3:00), but they become distracting. The subject matter is somewhat dry and the rest of the narration tends to be tedious. Buy the book instead.
