Your review of Dead Hunt

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for taking the time to listen to Dead Hunt and for the great review! I appreciate your comments and learn a lot when people like you give an honest assessment. Your in-depth review was well thought out and I enjoyed hearing your praises and criticisms. That type of feedback is invaluable, so thank you for your honesty. When I was asked in an interview if I would change anything my answer was, without hesitation, "the writing." There’s a lot of things I would change… especially in the prologue. The original story was teens but they were supposed to be college kids in the final draft so I don’t know what happened there. Major oversight! I also agree with your assessment of the diner scene: I should have included more description on how he found her and got her out. Good catch. Ditto for the bear… and A.I… and the chip… You gave me a lot to think about. I’m glad you would be interested in hearing the sequel, which I hope to finish writing within the next few months, and I do hope you guys are willing to review that one on your podcast as well. I really enjoyed your show! Once again, thank you for your comments and honesty. It means a lot to me. Sincerely, Kenn

free audiobook suggestions

I'm not especially a zombie and/or gore kind of person, but I enjoyed this your latest book review (ep0978). Here are a couple other audio books I've listened to and highly recommend, and I'd really enjoy hearing your review of them too at some point.

https://www.podiobooks.com/podiobooks/search.php?keyword=trader+tales This is a series of audiobooks following the life and career of the main character from his first unprepared steps into the spacefaring cargo fleet as a newly orphaned late-teen through owning his own ship. No aliens, no space battles, etc., but in my opinion nevertheless thoroughly engaging.

https://www.podiobooks.com/podiobooks/search.php?keyword=heavenfield Another, shorter series, very different but equally excellent. Set in the near future on Earth where several rival factions have found a way into a kind of alternate dimension intersecting ours, the eponymous Heavenfield, and discover that we are not alone, and that our actions shape our reality for good or ill.

https://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-leviathan-chronicles A race of superhumans lives secretly in our midst, and in a deep underwater base, seeking to direct mankind into a better future. But now there's a civil war among them, spilling into our world. The main character learns that she is not just one of these immortals, but a key to their very survival and torn between the factions.

Kenn

Thanks for the feedback on our feedback, Kenn, but most especially thanks for your book! I really enjoyed it and while I don't remember what the blazes I said about it, any criticism I had was only because I liked the book enough to feel safe with little nit-picks. All in all, I loved the story and the writing, and you had me all the way til the end. And in the end, that's all that matters.

Looking forward to the sequel!
