Remember how bad the film 'Absolute Power' was?
The 20th anniversary book of the same name is one of the best I've ever listened to (Scott Brick reads), and I'm pleased to report that it has little to do with the crap film.
Just checked and according to Audible, I've listened to 293 books. Def in the top three I've ever listened to.
...and the book has sold 110 million copies.
Highly ++ recommended.

sounds good and will be nice to get away from sci-fi for a break!

Recently went through the two Philip Pullman novels in the new Book of Dust trilogy (third not released yet) and enjoyed those. Then listened to a couple of short stories from the same universe, which were good, but paying a full Audible credit for a short story does grate a bit. Also, the Audible app tends to get a very annoying stutter at the start of chapters when played in the car.

It's very good.
I've done a lot of Scalzi recently. I like his stories and really like Wil Wheaton as a narrator (Enson whatever on STNG).
Collapsing Empire trilogy - good space/sci-fi/political and quite funny. Less sci-fi more politics. Very strong main characters.
The Androids Dream - bloody hillarious and mad.
Redshirts - excellent and funny, again.
Agent to the Stars - again, excellent, and hillarious at times.
On the subject of scifi - "Not Alone" - 2 books, great.
If you like HHGTTG, / scifi humour, "Will leave the galaxy for good" - book 3 in the Jacques McKeown series just came out and is hillarious. Loved 1&2 as well

Wil Wheaton was a good narrator on Ready Player One, also recommended. Collapsing Empire trilogy - good space/sci-fi/political and quite funny. Less sci-fi more politics. Very strong main characters.

I'll checkout your suggestions. Thanks.

He reads with tone and pacing like few others. It feels like he's practiced before he reads it aloud, or, he's one hell of a fast reader! :-)I'll checkout your suggestions. Thanks.
Lots of Scalzi's characters are dry/sarcastic and Wheaton does that with aplomb, male or female chars.

Audible Original of 1984.
Excellent production values and cast. Sadly, I didn't find the story any more engaging than when I was made to read it at school
Exactly this.....brilliant production and I did enjoy the book way back - but this story such as it was didn't do anything for me. Underwhelmed!Excellent production values and cast. Sadly, I didn't find the story any more engaging than when I was made to read it at school
