Reseñas de la Crítica

"Each of the 11 short stories is cowritten by two popular writers and features protagonists from their previous works teaming up. Add a host of talented narrators into the mix, and the result is an eclectic, wholly unique audio experience for thriller enthusiasts and those new to the genre....this collection is so varied and consistently excellent that it's difficult to single out any one story."

Spellbinding

I Originally purchased this because of the short story past prologue by Diana Gabaldon, but was totally enthralled by each and every short story. What a delightful premise. Having been an avid reader of many of the authors It was a delight to listen to all of the stories. I recommend this highly.

Engaging Shorts

I found Several favorites in this collection with drama, suspense and especially, footloose humor (hint).

a good listen

good chance to preview some other good authors and readers. stories are short yet suspenseful

Not a clinker in the bunch!

And in a few cases, I'm hoping the authors liked the partnership as much as I did, because there are some nifty novels-to-be in the list.

Dare we hope?
