Story
“Find the stolen goods or die.” This is the ultimatum the Council of Elders gives reluctant vampire and former police detective Iliana Dawn. Murdered while investigating a crime scene involving a substance the Council wants in its possession, Dawn was “made” into a vampire, but “unauthorized” vampires are illegal.

Loved it! Perfect second book to pick up after Descending Dawn. The story picks up right after the first book and delves quite deeply into this world of vampires. Narration was excellent again with even more characters to voice. I also really enjoy the writing style and pacing. Definitely recommend this book. Now to re-listen to see if I missed anything the first time around.

Reviewed: 04-12-22
I like reading stories written in first person and I enjoyed the character of Iliana Dawn as a strong female. Police officers having to deal live with crime in an age where vampires live side-by-side with regular people? Done quite well and interesting enough for me to immediately listen to it a second time. Character development was done well, the weaving of back stories (clues!) and action was great to listen to and, as another reviewer said, the narration by Lisa Negron was on point.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, recommend it, and look forward to reading/hearing Volume Two whenever it comes out.

Story
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

So happy I bought this!

I thought the movie was really good, but the book is what I recommend even more. Due to movie time constraints they can't go into character backgrounds like they can in the book. Character development is very well done and the story goes to so many more interesting places.
And, well done Wheaton! I highly recommend this audiobook and book if you liked the movie and especially if you loved the 80s.

Story
Some religions state that the very universe was created by words. The nation of America was founded using words. Words established the rights and freedoms this nation enjoys. The first of those rights is freedom of speech, which implies so much more than the right to use words. This anthology contains four stories from four authors. Each story pays tribute to either the ideals held by America’s First Amendment or to the concept that the words people use hold power. These authors took the concept of words and placed it in futuristic, apocalyptic, and fantasy settings.

Great Collection of short stories
Reviewed: 12-04-18
This collection of short sci-fi stories by different authors lives up to the title. Words can, indeed, be a powerful tool or weapon depending on how they're used. There are 4 separate stories, each with their own entertaining styles. Both of the narrators handled the content and characters of their stories with ease and skill. I enjoyed them both and their voices were complementary in the one story that they co-narrated. This one will get multiple listens from me.

Interesting story!

Story was good, the narrator was easy to listen to and handled the multiple characters and difficult pronunciations quite well. Futuristic Christian sci-fi. Looking forward to the next installment.
