She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

Anita has never seen Damian, her vampire servant, in such a state. The rising sun doesn't usher in the peaceful death that he desperately needs. Instead, he's being bombarded with violent nightmares and blood sweats. And now, with Damian at his most vulnerable, Anita needs him the most. The vampire who created him, who subjected him to centuries of torture, might be losing control, allowing rogue vampires to run wild and break one of their kind's few strict taboos.

Think you have a lot of pressure on your shoulders? Nick Gautier was born to bring about the end of the world.... It's not easy being the heir of a demon overlord. But in Invision, Nick is determined to thwart his destiny and get into a good college. To be more than his genetics and prophecy foretell. No one is ever going to tell this stubborn Cajun who and what he really is. Or how to live his life. Not even the Fates of the Universe.

This story granted deals with changing the timeline but at times it feels like the author lost track of details or forgot to fill us in. I'm ready for this series to be over already.

waiting for more
Reviewed: 08-05-16
The narrator was fabulous and appropriately male. I love Davina Porter but this was Jamie's and Ian's story. This was rather short even for a novella from Diana Gabaldon. Jamie, as usual is hurt and gets more beat up throughout the story. A little more fleshing out of the characters would have been nice. even Jamie and Ian are not well described. The basic plot and progression are there, but no real meat in the story. This seemed more about society's prejudice against Jews than two young Highlanders desperate to survive and navigate their world.

Somewhere under the freezing Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on—and there’s only one man who can find her. Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers—a game that could end in all-out war.

a great listen.
Reviewed: 01-03-15
The story kept me engaged and the narrator's interpretation was excellent. Distinctive voices for all of the characters with a realistic sounding Ryan. I listened to Patriot Games prior to The Hunt For Red October and enjoyed Scott Brick's reading of that book, I it enjoyed this more as Brick's reading made the Ryan character sound like his reading of John Corey in DeMille's books. Ryan is not an ex-New York cop and needs a different treatment. I look forward to my next "read" in this series.

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

The Best
Reviewed: 08-07-06
Outlander is one of my all time favorites and Davina Porter is an excellent reader. The unabridged version outstrips the abridged reads by Geraldine James. I already owned an audio cassette version of this book as well as two hard compies. I wanted to be able to take the story with me and listen to it on my MP3 player and was very pleased to see it finally listed on the Audible service. The unabridged versions of this series are highly recommended over the abriged as there are too many details to leave out. You'll love Clair and Jamie almost as if they were real people. They are both practicle, and romantic. They have a love that is accepting and enduring, which spans over 30 years during the course of the series. There are many colorful characters in this story and they are all well rounded. A story that makes it hard to put down and come back to the present. Jamie is a macho man who respects the talented Clair, can ride like no one else, fight with a sword, and who knows when to hold a woman and just let her cry. Clair is always pragmatic, and has a wry sense of humor. Mostly told in the first person, the book is outstanding.

A twisted tale indeed, featuring love lost, alluring demons, idiotic servants, beautiful ladies, magicians, spells, pirates, and duels, Stolen from Gypsies has been called a comedic tour de force comparable to Shakespeare.

Reviewed: 02-15-06
yuck. This book isn't particularly funny, and it's hard to understand where it's going. It features a very self-indulgent character who evidently thinks that he is writing a witty ditty about the adult exploits of a baby stolen from the Gypsies. The writing is crud and this book is a dud. Don't waste your money.
