2024 audiobooks

Here's a list of the audiobooks I read over the course of 2024. Here are some highlights:

1. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman is amazing as a full cast recording.
2. Saturn Run by John Sanford is a great hard sci-fi story on par with Delta V by Daniel Suarez and The Martian by Andy Weir.
3. I loved Scott Sigler's alien invasion series, Triangles - hope he makes more in that universe. Mia Grant Read more of this blog post »
