This is a continuation of the previous post that I did about what books on audible that I have been reading lately.  I thought I would share them with you in hopes that you might like these too.

Silver Ships Series


If you are like me and love to read some good novels that are well written, this is one of those that you should check out.  It all starts out with a young Alex Racine, an explorer-tug captain saves a lonely damaged silver ship.   This is just the beginning of the journey you will take in this series.   There’s comedy and gold nuggets of hints that show you where the author is going in this series.   The author takes you on a very interesting journey, and even then it is a masterpiece to begin with.   I started with Book 1 on Audible and already I’m now onto Book 12 on this 20 book series.  This is one of the most interesting books that have kept my attention in what would be an ongoing listening on audible.  You could can listen to several of the early books from Audible for free, you will however have to buy book 1 but there are like 7 books that are free, Book 2, book 3, Book 4, and Book 6 through Book 9.   Which is why I started listening to this series because one way I could binge my cravings for a Good Science Fiction book.   This is one of those that you must have in order to understand how good the author was at writing this series.   Truly the best series I’ve seen in a long time.

Time War last Forever Series

This is a 6 book series that I just loved because it was so compelling for the user to keep their attention on a good book.  I loved this book because of the space battles and how the aliens use time energy.   It was a great concept for me to think about how you could harness time and use it for your own purposes.   It’s one of the more interesting space fighting ideas.   The cast and crew of this series also keeps you from getting bored because they come up with some unique places in time.   It’s almost like a Doctor Who series because of how they use time to go forward or back in time.

Bobiverse Series

How Many Bob’s can there be?  That’s the real question, we may never really know but we find that after a while there are a lot more personalities that you would of expected.   Dennis Taylor, does a great storyline, it even has Star Wars and Star Trek references that you may or may not get.   I liked this series due to the understanding of what it would be like to be a BOB and how would people be able to do that in the future.   So many aspects of this book were really good and I thought it was high time to talk about these.  Ray Porter, the narrator does a good job at keep it interesting and makes you want to follow the journey.  It was one of those little books that made you smile as you did your daily activities.    It isn’t the best but it is one of those that kept you coming back to find out what happens next.   It’s a 4 book series and as such was nice to have but if you want something more than look at the other suggestions I have talked about this one went really quickly and left you wanting more.

I’ll have more later on but if you know of any good books that I should listen to on Audible, Let me know and I’ll check them out.  Have a good Wednesday.

I love Science Fiction

If you know me, I just love a good science fiction books to read or even listen to while I do other things in my life.  I figured it would be nice to share what I’ve been listening to on Audible and I love to listen to these books as I am doing many things in my day to day routines.   I thought it would share with you my love of the books that I have listened to and still listen to.

Expeditionary Force — I enjoy this series very much.  Craig Alanson does a really good job with this series.    I love how Skippy and Joe Bishop are working really well with each other.  The chemistry between Joe and Skippy is very funny and other times very serious.   Either way, you’ll be laughing when they interact with each other most of the time.  You can even buy some of the Merchandise from Craig Alanson and be part of the “Merry Band of Pirates“.   I suggest starting off with Columbus Day and working your way through the series one by one.   You’ll start to love this book as much as I do.  I almost forgot R.C. Bray does a really good job at voicing all the characters on Audible.

UES Aurora CV01 by Ryk Brown

Frontiers Saga – Another good series to listen on Audible or if you like to read it. Either way it’s very captivating and keeps you wanting to come back for more. Ryk Brown does an excellent job at making sure the crew doesn’t do something that is not in their nature. You basically have to listen to the first part of the episodes and just work your way through the whole series.   I’ve heard they have 5 parts already lined up.   So we are only on part 2 of the 5 parts series.  I am sure there will be more in the coming years.  See all the Parts of the series at Ryk Brown’s Site.

Old Man’s War – This series is a short but nice series to go back to from time to time.   I love how John Scalzi does this series and I kind of wished it would continue but there are a limited amount of books to this series and I must say the Audible book is really good to listen because all the voice narrators do a really good job at keeping you coming back for more books.  There is a rumor that Netflix has grabbed the rights to make this a film.   I am curious to see this actually happen but the book is still great to go back from time to listen over and over again.   I love how John Scalzi developed the characters and made them more real to me each and every time.

Ender’s Game —  This one I got interested in after seeing the movie that came out in 2013.   After watching the movie, and liking what I saw, I went back and started listening to them and others on Audible.   I started with the first book that I got done watching on the big screen.   The movie and book are always going to be a little bit different but I loved how Orson Scott Card developed all the characters and progressed them in the series.   It is another short series but still a series that I keep going back to from time to time.

Star Fire Book 1 from M. R. Forbes

Stars End — Another good series that seems to just started off.   You won’t find much in ways of books to read or listen to right now but it seems to be developing very fast the last few months since the pandemic has gotten more people staying home.   I can only guess M. R. Forbes was bored and just kept writing about this book and we should see a good series in the coming months.   I must say the first part of the series was quite dry but if you get past that, the series starts to get better over time.

Planet Side —  I must say that Michael Mammay does a good job at keeping the characters real and making me come back for the 3 books of this series.   I am sure there are more on the way but for right now it is nice to listen to these three books from time.   I love the story line and can’t help but listen as I am exercising outside or doing those thing that I love so much.

These are just a several books in my Audible library that I wanted to share with my readers and hopes they enjoy them too.  I do get a small commission for each and every time someone buys my recommends on Amazon and that helps me to keep this website going.   Thank you for supporting my website and if you have any good books I should listen to, please let me know in the comments below.   I’d love to get even more recommendations of books to listen to on Audible.
