COMMENTS: (3531) Outlander Series Bk #7; An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

3531_an_echo_in_the_bone

Considering the progress I've made so far on this book and the meetings I already have scheduled, I estimate that I won't finish this book until Thursday night or Friday morning. A very long book to take me that long to complete it. On the other hand I enjoy the history included in the book whether factual or not, its still interesting.

3533_firestorm

Summary by Graphic Audio:

In a world where evil will not die, Nazis dream of world domination.  Soviet land forces count on their reborn particle beam weapons to gain the advantage, while their undersea brethren weigh the nuclear option; an option that will leave the planet a desolate rock in space.  Albert Einstein once observed, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former." John Thomas Rourke and the forces of freedom couldn't agree more. 

Approximate Run Time: 5 hours

Next Item: (3531) Outlander Series Bk #7; An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

Publisher's Summary:

Diana Gabaldon's immensely popular Outlander saga soars to new heights with this seventh novel, which takes listeners on a breathtaking journey to 1777 America.

Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army.

And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

Epic in scope and featuring a colorful cast that includes many legendary figures - including hero-turned-traitor Benedict Arnold and bawdy statesman Benjamin Franklin - An Echo in the Bone is a thrill from start to finish.

Approx Running Time: 45 hrs and 58 mins Plus Music Interludes.

Product Description:

The power to control the driving force of the universe has finally come to light. At the university on Maladaan, Taren has studied everything from genetics and cell communication to Quantum Physics, Astrophysics and ESP. She believes there is an ocean of microscopic vibrations connecting everything in the universe to every other universe -- an inter-dimensional field theory. Unbeknownst to Taren, her research and hidden psychic talents are the reason she is called on by the prestigious AMIE space project to investigate an ocean planet and its strange light phenomena. However, there are conflicting agendas within the organisation and she is the only one who begins to suspect that foul play might be afoot …

Publisher's Summary:

Having pursued the remnants of the defeated Army of the Potomac up to the banks of the Susquehanna, General Robert E. Lee is caught off balance when news arrives that General Ulysses S. Grant, in command of over 70,000 men, has crossed that same river, a hundred miles to the northwest, and is advancing down the Cumberland Valley towards Virginia. The two brilliant generals will now meet in a massive battle that will decide the outcome of the war. In Never Call Retreat, Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen bring all of their critically-acclaimed talents to bear in what is destined to be a Civil War classic.

Publisher's Summary:

Beginning a New Series by a New York Times Best-Selling Author.Will the People of Earth Bow Down to Alien Overlords or Will They Live Free or Die?

First Contact Was Friendly

When aliens trundled a gate to other worlds into the solar system, the world reacted with awe, hope and fear. But the first aliens to come through, the Glatun, were peaceful traders and the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Who Controls the Orbitals, Controls the World

When the Horvath came through, they announced their ownership by dropping rocks on three cities and gutting them. Since then, they've held Terra as their own personal fiefdom. With their control of the orbitals, there's no way to win and earth's governments have accepted the status quo.

Live Free or Die

To free the world from the grip of the Horvath is going to take an unlikely hero. A hero unwilling to back down to alien or human governments, unwilling to live in slavery and with enough hubris, if not stature, to think he can win. Fortunately, there's Tyler Vernon. And he has bigger plans than just getting rid of the Horvath.

Troy Rising is a book in three parts Live Free or Die being the first part detailing the freeing of earth from alien conquerors, the first steps into space using off-world technologies and the creation of Troy, a thousand trillion ton battlestation designed to secure the solar system.

Summary by Graphic Audio:

When her longtime friend claims to have evidence of Big Foot's existence, archaeologist Annja Creed can't resist checking it out for herself—she's been debating the subject for years. Annja's curiosity leads her deep into the woods of the Pacific Northwest, to meet Jenny where the supposed trail has been left by the one and only Sasquatch.

But when Annja arrives at the destination, a group of armed thugs warn her to leave the area, and her friend is nowhere to be found. Now the search for Sasquatch turns into a rescue mission, and Annja has only her instincts to guide her in a forest full of predators, scavengers and spirits. And someone, or something, does not want her there...

Publisher's Summary:

Colonel Andrew Keane and his blue-coated soldiers were not the first humans time-space-warped to a world so familiar yet so foreign. Humans abounded on the perverse planet-humans treated like cattle by the alien warrior overlords. Keane's Civil War weaponry defeated the swords, spears and crossbows of his monstrous adversaries. And part of the human population was freed, but the other part became puppets of the overlords in a vast counterattack. Now it was human vs. human, gun vs. gun, ironclad against ironclad, as the empires of Roum and Cartha clashed in gut-wrenching, soul-stirring struggle for the future of a world beyond time.

Next Item: (3524) Pendant Productions - Star Trek Defiant Episodes 1 thru 10

3524_pendant_productions_-_sta

Summary:

"Star Trek: Defiant" is a full-cast, ongoing sci-fi serial adventure based upon the Star Trek television series.

Defiant started off as a text-based story list in early October of 1995. Believe it or not, that list is still around. I actually met my wife there. :)

But back then, Defiant was really something new and different on the newborn, barren wasteland of the internet. A bunch of fans with a similar passion for Star Trek came together and formed close friendships while telling stories about our fictional crew set upon my favorite of all the Star Trek ships, the USS Defiant (of Deep Space Nine fame).

You may notice that an awful lot of the characters share names with the people who created them/actors who play them, including myself. Back then we didn't know who each other were, and so it was a decision we made to name a bunch of the characters after ourselves simply so that we could learn each other's names. Not a very exciting story, perhaps, but there it is. :)

Defiant has a long and rich history that all of its members have formed together over the past decade, and it's my complete honor to bring Defiant to a wider audience in the realm of audio. We are absolutely making it accessible to everyone, so you don't need to know ten years of Defiant history in order to understand or enjoy the episodes. But we will try to incorporate some of the more major events from our past into some storylines to help new listeners learn more about Defiant and the universe she interacts in.

Welcome aboard the USS Defiant.

Boldly go.
