by Piers Anthony ; Read by Mark Winston ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1993
In this fantasy adventure Colene, Darius, Sequiro and Nona are joined on their journey across alternate universes by Burgess, a tentacled being who needs medical attention. A true appreciation of Chaos Mode will require familiarity with the previous entries in Anthony's "Mode" series, Virtual Mode and Fractal Mode. While Mark Winston's reading voice is pleasant, he fails to bring the characters to life and generate excitement in what is, regrettably, an overextended work. Chaos Mode reads better than its audio counterpart; an abridgment may have been superior to the whole.

by Sara Desai ; Read by Soneela Nankani & Andrew Eiden ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 20, 2024
Escape on a thrilling adventure with Soneela Nankani and Andrew Eiden as they narrate this suspenseful romance. A year has passed since Simi Chopra, her assorted crew, and Jack Danger pulled off a lucrative diamond heist. Now, the Chicago Mafia boss is demanding that the jewels be returned, so Simi gets the team back together. Nankani delivers an expressive performance that emphasizes Simi's conflict between her passion for Jack and the mission. Her distinct character voices keep the listener fully immersed. Eiden's lively tone gives Jack a subtle flair and confidence that make him easy to forgive and to love.

by Gerald A. Browne ; Read by Barry Bostwick ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1993
This is not a story about guns, but about blue pearls. Gerald Browne takes us to the Pacific Ocean and the world of pearl divers and natural gems and mixes in mystery, intrigue and suspense. Barry Bostwick portrays the characters in one voice, varying his intonation slightly for the Asian personalities. His reading style is very smooth, evidence of preparation and interest in the story. 18mm Blues is abridged well, collecting the important elements of the story. Unobtrusive music indicates the end of each side. Disappear into the mystery of the Far East and one of its most beautiful commodities.
