    Alien III by William Gibson. It is competed different than the movie and is narrated by Lance Henriksen and Micheal Biehn.

    Halo: The Fall of Reach

    Fatherland by Robert Harris

    A Most Wanted Man by John Le Carre

    Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

    The Girl With All The Gifts

    If you are in the States don’t do any Harry Potter Book. The narrator of the US audio books is fucking terrible…






  • I am still listening to this. It is getting more and more insane.

    I did six years in the Army and the number of loosers and low lifes I dealt in the Army just blew my mind. I always thought that SF was a different breed, but no.

    It is wild how the military’s “elite force” are just more of the same.

    From the book, There was this one Delta guy who ran a biker club called Coast to Coast. The Delta guy went by Chris Valley.

    His club did a fund raiser for five dead green berets. They raised 450,000, 250,000 he just kept and the rest went to help other SF guys “treatments”, gyro therapy, cryotherapy.

    It was all just a scheme to take people’s money. How the hell and active duty delta gu yay did something that public is beyond incredible.

    It really is a wild listen/read.

    The chapters I am on now focus on an ex NC cop who was an expert at catching drug mules has became one of them after he was kicked off the Police Force.






  • It gave the illusion of following the book.

    Have you actually read the short story? Because I am baffled as to how anyone who has read the story would say that.

    The movie was in no way an adaptation of the short story at all. It never even pretended to follow the short story.

    Just like iRobot the only thing I Am Legend has in common with it’s written work is the title.

    He is then executed.

    No he wasn’t. He committed suicide.
