Iron Dragons: Book 1 – The Saramond Quests by Derek Gilbert
Posted By Mark Carpenter on February 7, 2010
This book was a lot of fun and took some surprising turns. Sometimes I finish a podcasted novel and wonder why I even bothered to listen, but this was certainly not the case here. I look forward to more from this author.
That said, this author really is a good storyteller characters are vibrant and realistic, the pace is good, and for the most part the story is engaging. I would like to see more from this author as he definitely has a lot of potential. The reading is fast paced the narration is clear and the story is refreshing and had me hooked.

Now something has upset the balance of power between man and dragon, and Davian must face what appears to be a dragon that cannot be seen.
But Davian is losing his grip on reality — and the fate of the world rests with a stable hand, an underfed priest, and a gardener from beyond the stars.

Captains Share by Nathan Lowell
Posted By Mark Carpenter on January 29, 2010
This is just an excellent series. The production quality is first rate and the stories really grab you. I have now listened to the entire series so many times that I’ve lost count and I am hooked. I only wish that the series didn’t jump so far between the last two books, because I would have enjoyed watching Ishmael attend college and rise to first mate.

Another great story, Nathan! The audio quality, reading, and music were very well done as with everything I have listened to of yours. Your books are some of my favorites to listen to while driving. Something about your voice and pacing helps me into a state of mind where I don’t have to focus for hours. It just like being teleported from home to work and back. Thank you for that!

When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer. When he gets to his new ship, he finds things are not exactly the way he’d learned in school. The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What’s a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy?
The White Shadow Saga: The Stolen Moon of Londor by A.P. Stephens
Posted By Mark Carpenter on January 15, 2010
Will here we go A.P. Stephens. A.P. asked me to review his book and I was pleased to be asked. Let’s start with the bad news first. The recording on this book is in need of remastering from an audio quality perspective. While I am aware that this is a first time effort by the author and narrator to produce an audio book it is my humble opinion that some back end effort to do this book justice is in need. The narrator has a great voice for the story, but the beginning of the book he is talking way to fast and the hiss and pops are really distracting since I listen to it load on my car stereo the pops shock me. I have a suggestion for him and it is to go to the podiobooks mentors and ask them how to fix the problems with the recording or bottom line is start again and rework at least the first five episodes. I believe the readership will greatly improve if they take the time to do it right. The story is certainly worth it and the narrator is gifted and has by now learned quite a bit about production.
Now for the story, Stephens has a great saga going on! He also does a great job with the details without over doing it. It is a killer plot line. He makes good used of the elves, dwarves, men, wizards and werewolves to boot you can’t get that in any cereal box! I will say that I enjoyed it as much as the lord of the rings saga. The only problem with the story is it was to short it left me wanting a lot more from this world. If he could produce the rest of the saga really fast it would be completely appreciated. Because I really enjoyed the story I am willing to forgo the bad for what is the better than good which is a great story. I hope he reworks the audio 1st book because it might or I might even nominate him for a Parsec award.

The era of peace among the elves, men, and dwarves comes to an end when one of Londor’s twin moons disappears from the heavens…..Without the moon’s balancing effect, evil forces grow bold, and warfare, sickness, and chaos threaten life itself.
Hearing the prayers of desperation that ride on the violent winds, the ancient wizard Randor Miithra, servant to the elf-gods, takes it upon himself to mend the world he has sworn to protect. The task will not be an easy one, though, for the wizard, too, has begun to feel the effects of the world’s imbalance. As Randor struggles to maintain some semblance of his powers, he meets a secretive band of colorful characters from all walks of life, drawn together by a common goal: to find the stolen moon, whatever the cost. It does not take Randor and his motley company long to see that someone or something does not want the moon returned to the heavens.
The road is perilous….the stakes have never been greater….will they find victory…or will they only find their deaths?

Jack Palms 3 by Seth Harwood
Posted By Mark Carpenter on December 31, 2009
Seth Harwood is a remarkable writer; blending an action-packed thriller with a surprisingly hard-hitting emotional drama is not easy to create. Jack Palms struggles with the demons of his past and we get to watch. Jack Palms 3 has some of the best action sequences I’ve heard, including a fantastic chase sequence through San Francisco’s Chinatown. I was also very pleased to hear multiple voice talents in the mix in these books, which lends the storytelling a lot of credibility. Seth Harwood’s productions remain light on the sound effects.

Jack Palms II: This Is Life by Seth Harwood
Posted By Mark Carpenter on December 18, 2009
If you haven’t already listened to Seth Harwood’s first Jack Palms Novel, Jack Wakes Up, you should. It’s well worth your time. I couldn’t wait to hear the rest of the story.
This book hooked me from the beginning. ‘Jack Palms II: This Is Life’ is the sequel to the Jack Wakes Up by Seth Harwood. If you like your hard-edged crime stories seasoned with organized crime, dirty cops, and down and out heroes, ‘Jack Palms II: This Is Life’ is for you.
Harwood takes his washed-up, deadbeat actor Jack Palms, who is just trying to make something halfway respectable out of his life, and hurls him back into a world of gangsters, corrupt cops and politicians, and international crime rings. With every chapter, the tension is notched up, again and again. Jack Palms realizes that its not enough for him to have once been an action hero on the silver screen; this is life, and if he’s going to survive the mess that he’s got himself into, he’s going to have to become that hero.
Besides a couple of audio problems: A little hissing in the background while Harwood reads and a couple of minor editing problems this is a well done podcast. Let me just say I have a very good stereo in my truck and listen to stuff louder than others would.

Jack Is Back! Yes, Jack Palms is back to bring you more of the action, suspense and excitement that you came to expect from the hit podiobook Jack Wakes Up.
In This Is Life, Jack Palms finds himself caught in a working relationship with none other than the San Francisco police. When one of their own gets killed and corruption invades the Hall of Justice, Sgt. Mills Hopkins hires Jack to poke around. Is Jack ready for his own brand of police work? Is San Francisco?
Follow Jack Palms as he tries to figure out if the life of a Private Eye fits him, hunts a cop-killer, and tries to solve a series of murders that leads him into the heart of San Francisco’s sex trade.

Nathan Lowell, your writing is truly masterful and your voice is perfect for these podcasts. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the us.
An amazing series. I have gone through Quarter Share and all the available episodes of Half Share twice in the last week or so. I find myself going home so i can listen to the whole book and then relisting to it on my drive. I am Loving these books.
But mostly, I’m impressed by how real these characters are coming to be. The chapter introducing Sarah really brings this out suddenly, we’re not seeing characters speak their lines, but people interacting with each other in real ways.

Infected by Scott Sigler
Posted By Mark Carpenter on December 4, 2009
Horror/Dark Fantasy
Good Story! It is my opinion a story with a very slow start. If I had followed Sigler’s advice, well, lets just say, good thing I didn’t do as I was told; cause, I would not have finished. I didn’t get into it until chapter 10 that is when it became a good listen. That being said my other grip is as follows: I understand that these are “donations accepted” audio books, but do you have to use the first one and one-half minutes of each episode with commercials? After hearing the sports company commercials so much I would never go to the store, it was simply not contagious or infecting. Sigler make the pain intensely real for the characters so real that the listener can almost feel it. Ouch! The research this accomplished author did shows and makes it quite believable.
Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families.
Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly contagion. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common – they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite, shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science.
Meanwhile Perry Dawsey – a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey – awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices . . . he is infected.
The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war Perry must wage with his own body, because the parasites want something from him, something that goes beyond mere murder.
