Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors that lives on. The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told. Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3,000 years.

Amazing Narration by Denzil Smith

Publisher's Summary
For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the nevel creates scenes and characters that have firetd the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring.
Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, "the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas." G. S. Fraser terms it "an utterly original book" and goes on to write: "There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy."

Great story, terrible narrator
Great story but very hard to follow due to terrible narrator and poor editing. Multiple passages are repeated, words are mispronounced and phrases wrongly emphasised. This makes it hard work to make sense of the great story.

The story and performance are excellent (I am not even distracted by the American accent - the actor does a fine job). However, there are frequent moments where the audio has not been edited, leaving the actor repeating lines and pausing as in a raw recording.

Not even worth the small price
This is probably the worst read/produced book I have come across on Audible. I bought it because I hadn't ever read the story and didn't think an American voice would spoil what is supposed to be a good book too much. How wrong I was. Several lines were repeated through sloppy editing and the narration was really bad. The reading was almost completely without expression, the dialogues were beyond his capabilities and the mispronunciations (taking account of American pronunciations) really grated. Don't be tempted.

Great reading of an old classic.
Long Jack's voice sounded very like Barbosa from "Pirates of the Caribbean" but as this book set the pirate genre in fiction, that was to be expected!
