I have listened to "Barrayar" and "Warriors Apprentice" -- loved them both; and have just ordered "Falling Free" and "Shards of Honor". Thank you for supplying such a superior product! -- *glaboy, 03/05/98* I am holding my breath waiting for the Warrior Apprentice, The teaser at the end makes it sound so exiting. Thanks for the tremendous work you do I have listened to everything listed on your website! Carol Cowan and Michael Hanson are the greatest. The really compliment each other and produce OUTSTANDING Audio Books. -- *llainna, 9/19/97* I am planning to put on my Xmas list some of the Bujold titles. The awards your company has are truly well earned. -- *DjacksonT, 7/10/98* I have all the Bujold audio books to date have to tell you to order the tapes! The main thing about these productions is that they are unabridged and very like listening to a radio play. Both the readers change their voices in really remarkable way so that you *know* whether the character is young or old, good or evil. So my recommendation is "two thumbs up" for Shards and Barrayar (and no, I don't have shares in the company... ) -- *north, 3 Dec 1997* I look forward to getting Warrior's Apprentice and the rest of the series. I applaud the effort and success you have done with the previous tapes. -- *dancer, 12/13/97* I've now listened to Falling Free, Shards, and Barrayar on tape. I have to say I think Barrayar is the best yet. -- *gryphon, 10 Jan 1998* It is action that never stops. The characters are so well-defined that you can't help but care what happens to them. And since the author doesn't telegraph her punches, you never know who is going to be left standing when the fighting is over. -- *St. Louis Post-Dispatch, November 2, 1997* Looking forward to enjoying [The Warrior's Apprentice] as I have both 'Shards' and 'Barrayar.' The books were great. Listening to the tapes while commuting only furthers my enjoyment of LMB's fine series. I grew up enjoying radio drama and love the 'theater of the mind' concept. --*acksmith, 11/17/97*
