Did not receive the product or a download link. Tried to contact but no answer
Really good. Easier to just downloard them then wating for them to come. Audio really clear to lision to.
I love that all of these books were available! But the sound quality is very poor. 😕
Purchased the bundle for digital download and then few months later the access was gone... need it fixed ASAP
The majority of the content is there, but some of the books have missing chapters such as Rage, Relentless, Broken Lands, Kagen the Damned, and maybe a few others because the full length time is not as long as it should be when I’ve compared it to other places. However on Rage, Relentless, Kagen, and Broken Lands for example, certain random chapters would import separate from the main file which I’m suspecting is where the missing content should have been but those chapters are only 1-2 seconds long so they do not include the full chapter. It would be nice to have full versions of each audiobook as expected. Rage, Relentless, Broken Lands, and a few others that were missing chapters were some of my most anticipated reads so it’s a bummer to be missing content from those. I realize it is a lot of content to deal with so other than that the rest was well done and I’m happy with the books that had no issues and their audio quality is good.
I bought this as I love the Toby Peters series and have read the books numerous times. I also own all of the books as audiobooks from Audible except for three: "High Midnight,", "Down for the Count," and "The Devil Met A Lady" as these are not published due to copyright issues (as I was told by the publisher). So, when I saw that they were available here, I jumped at the chance to acquire these three even though it meant buying the others as well.
At the moment, I have only listened (partially) to "High Midnight." First, the quality is very poor. They are dupes of the cassette version and nothing was done to reduce the hiss and other aspects. Some of the files even begin by stating that it is side X of cassette Y and, I think, even tell you to turn over the cassette!
Whether or not it was like this on the original recordings, there are pauses that are non-sensical. I can even hear background noise at times but, as mentioned, this may be part of the original recording.
Each book is split into 8 or 9 .mp3s which correspond to the side of the original cassette. No effort was made to join these files into 1 .mp3 nor to make them a chaptered .mp3.
I might even have heard duplicate dialog at times but I can't swear to it.
When I have the opportunity, I am going to join the files and create a chaptered .mp3 which corresponds to the book. I will also follow along with the original book as I listen to see if there are other inconsistencies or errors.
I am glad that I now have the complete Toby Peters audiobooks. However, I can only hope and wish that the copyright issues will eventually be resolved so that I can have these three books in high-quality.
A great series that includes adventure, interesting characters, and technology as humans move into space.
These books are amazing and it’s such a shame that the audiobooks have not been redone. The narrator doesn’t give the story much life and the overall quality of these files is really bad.
Purchased this item over 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything nor received any emails. I've contacted this company and haven't heard back.
I have only finished reading the first book, Mortal Engines, but I really enjoyed it. I am over 50 years old, and this is obviously aimed at the youth/young adult audience, but the story flows well. I guess it's kinda like the Harry Potter books that were aimed at young adults, but are widely enjoyed by adults of all ages. This book has little to no bad language or sex, which I appreciate, but has violence and action.
I am looking forward to the rest of this series!
The digital download comes in the form of a bunch of 1-3 minute long mp3 on a google drive. Basically unlistenable.
I became a fan of R. A. MacAvoy many years ago. Now that my eyes don't work well with hard copy. I've been collecting the works of my favorite authors in audio form. I was extremely happy to be able to get this set. The wonderful, vivid stories that haunted my memories become a real world again, refreshing mind and spirit. There are a few minor glitches in some recordings, but overall they are clear, a delight to lie back and relax with. The collection includes a few titles that I was unable to get 40-some years ago, and I'm glad to fill in the gaps now.
When you love an author, it's great to be able to get everything in one package - and at less than the paperbacks cost back when!
I enjoyed this book, I've read a lot of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt books. If you like them, then you'll like this one as well. It's fast paced action and fun. These books have pg levels of language and promiscuity. They are fine for youth, but well written enough for adults.
I only have the original Frank Herbert books but all of those are complete and unabridged. The narrators did a wonderful job and so far they have been complete with no weird audio problems.
I only use MP3 books because I like to have them on all my devices and not need an internet connection to access them. I DLed them and put them on my home NAS and now I can take them with me on what ever device I want, when ever I want.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have only screen 6 of the books, but it's going to take a long time to get through this many.
I have previously read Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series in paperback. I loved it. A great combination of action and humor. So I was excited to see this collection. I have listened to Dead Six so far and it didn't disappoint. It doesn't have a much humor, but it has even more action than the MHI series. I highly recommend.
If you love a well conceived mystery with a touch of the supernatural, woven in an intelligent and suspenseful fashion, throwing in a soupçon of revenge, this is for you. A sweet collection of 16 books, each better than the last. These are worth going back and listening again as they are all so complex and chewy. What a great find!
Read them all many years ago & it was a great way to relive theses stories .
For whatever reason 1/2 the corps and call to arms ,I had a hard time playing they wouldn’t go to the next chapter unless I fast forward them also on several chapters some of the reading was repeated, like the first 30 words.
Very nice case, organized mp3s. Will order more from them
I prefer to listen to audiobooks on a disk. More specifically, an audiodvd. I used to buy from a guy on ebay, but he isn't selling anymore. I'm thankful that motionaudiobooks has this available. I like to listen to audiobooks at work. You can select what book you want to listen to and the chapter. I use a portable DVD player and bluetooth headphones. Thank you
James L Stokesbury's "Short History" series are superb summaries of the major conflicts of the 20th Century. They are both informative and engaging in their presentation and make the complicated etiologies and ramifications of these conflicts easier to understand for those interested in why our world is currently the way that it is.
More complete than I anticipated.
Shipped quickly and safely.
One of my favorites.
I am quite satisfied.
