For Empty Places..."Once I started this book - I could not stop as I was completely drawn in. The narrator did a great job in pacing and ratcheting up the tension through his vocal skills"
‍
For The Last Refuge..."This is a great sequel and am looking forward to more adventures with Peter Brandt. The narrator, Tim Danko, is perfectly suited to this story. He has a great tenor voice which embodies exactly as I would imagine the battle-scarred Peter Brandt."

For The Fourth Rising..."A book to appeal to conspiracy theorists.  Simply written, it is an easy read, made increasingly enjoyable by the narration of Tim Danko. His p!easant sounding voice is well modulated, with individual voicing s for the disparate protagonists, and he reads with an understanding of the text."
