Buy Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6)


Of all the books, this one was absolutely my least favorite. Phury and Cormia's romance was so bad that I figured Ward was just desperate. Both characters virgins, clueless when it comes to intimacy, and very quiet individuals. Reality dictates that people with these types of personalities never work out. Phury being a drug addict wasn't sitting right with me, and the "wizard" in his head was just outright disturbing. Cormia's personality is very hard to pinpoint because there isn't much on her take in the story. If I recall, I would say that John Matthew got more story than she did.Get more detail about Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6).

Purchase The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Dodo Publishing)


Told with charm and gusto, here are the "true" merry tales of Robin Hood. No goofy guys in tights here, but loyal fellows proudly donning hunter green to join the band of outdoors men, out of work and outlawed by an unjust government that confiscates unfair taxes from the unfortunate.Get more detail about The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Dodo Publishing).

Order THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU (UPDATED w/LINKED TOC)


I don't really have much to say about The Island Of Doctor Moreau in terms of the story. It's a science fiction classic, 'nuff said. But what I do have to add is that the quality of this particular audiobook is pretty poor. The reader drones on in a monotone. I end up missing a lot of the story and have to constantly rewind because my mind easily wanders because the presentation is so poor. Also the quality of the audio in general is really bad. Hissy and grainy.Get more detail about THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU (UPDATED w/LINKED TOC).

Cheap The World Set Free ($.99 Science Fiction Classics)


Certainly Wells viewed war as the inevitable result of the Modern State; the introduction of atomic energy in a world divided resulted in the collapse of society. The only possibilities remaining were "either the relapse of mankind to agricultural barbarism from which it had emerged so painfully or the acceptance of achieved science as the basis of a new social order." Wells's theme of world government is presented as a solution to the threat of nuclear weapons.

It is possible that several years of nuclear terrorism could frighten world leaders so much that they are willing to consider a one-world government, seeking "peace and safety", for example.Get more detail about The World Set Free ($.99 Science Fiction Classics).
