I’ll listen to most anything with
Ray Porter (Terminal List)
Scott Brick (Orphan X)
Jay Snyder (The Gray Man)

Also Lee Horsley’s narration of Lonesome Dove is excellent. Haven’t looked at other titles he narrates though but I should.

Spectacular. Kramer in particular is in a league of his own.


He's great, but he's definitely not in a league of his own. There are some incredible readers out there.

My library has the audio version of this one, I've had it saved for a while. I didn't know it was Ray Porter reading it. The audio version of Project Hail Mary was better than the print because of how awesome a job he did with it. I'm more excited about listening to it now.

My wife hated Lee because I talked like Gus the whole time I was listening. Haha!

Frank Muller is hit and miss. Mostly miss.

Best I’ve ever heard is Humphrey Bower.

Definitely do a sample on audible if it’s someone I’m unfamiliar with and make a decision on if it’s tolerable or not


Get a library card and download the Libby app. You would be amazed at how many you can listen to for free.

Great advice. I have Audible but with the library you can try things and return them if they are not your thing.

I know you can return audibles but it’s a bit more restrictive.

RC Bray: he has a perfect voice and erratic style for sci-fi books with an impressive range for both male and female characters. I actually have been searching for new audiobooks based off his narration recently and I’ve come across quite a few really good ones.

Another long series that I just finished is the hell divers series that he narrates. It’s not really sci-fi but more dystopian, apocalyptic future it’s entertaining and fun to listen to.

Happy that he's likely got some years left. I def pictured him as in his 80s

If you like Ray Porter then check out the Joe Ledger series.

Phil Thron cracks me up.
