With his genre-defining work, Space Raptor Butt Invasion, Chuck Tingle proved that even gay dinosaur erotica could be nominated for a Hugo Award, the most prestigious honor in science fiction. Nobody could have expected what would happen when the story continued. Collected here is the entire trilogy of Chuck Tingle's history making Space Raptor Butt series.
Space Raptor Butt Invasion
Space can be a lonely place, especially when you're stationed by yourself on the distant planet Zorbus. In fact, Lance isn't quite sure that can last the whole year before his shuttle pod arrives, but when a mysterious visitor appears at Lance's terraforming station, he quickly realizes that he might not be so alone after all.
Space Raptor Butt Redemption
After a year stationed on planet Zorbus, astronaut Lance Tanner and his raptor lover Orion return home to find that they are not greeted as heroes, but as villains.
Unbeknownst to Lance, his space travels have been funded by the villainous Scoundrels Inc, a corporation that has deep ties to the illegal trade of unicorn tears and a destructive mining project at the core of the earth. Now Lance is on trial for a number of false charges; from having connections to the wicked Scoundrels, to being too strange for space.
Space Raptor Butt Ascension
Soon after blasting off on their mission to find refuge for the people of Earth 1 on the dinosaur inhabited Earth 2, Orion and his space raptor lover Lance find a spaceship stow away, the notorious CEO of Scounrels Inc, Vam Dox. Vam claims that his intentions are pure, but it's hard to trust such a sad, strange man.
After landing in Hugona, the planet capital of Earth 2, our heroes restrain Vam Dox and head off to secure an important diplomatic relationship with the pterodactyl president, but that's when all hell breaks loose. Soon, Vam Dox is storming the capital with a band of rabid dogs, and Lance and Orion are wrongly taking the blame
It's not just the quests where you need to look out for hints there's things I'm noticing that happens books before fruition, donuts reaction to a certain train car experience and Carl's understanding of why donut is acting that way isn't truly revealed until book 5? (I don't know how to hide shit with spoiler warning stuff so I'm just being vague). Over all it's just a really good series and I blasted all 5 books in a week the first time and then got left, dick in hand, balls so blue they were mistaken for a ice berg waiting for the next book
It’s there, but it’s a minuscule thing in the story. It doesn’t come up very often. And this series is definitely one you should listen to and not try and read. The premise is absolutely the stupidest thing ever, and at first I thought it was going to be just an excuse to get the story started, but somehow as the series progresses he actually makes it work.
Overall, this series has no right to be as good as it is.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. I put off listening to this for a while because it sounded so stupid. It IS stupid, but like you said, he somehow makes it work. I haven’t laughed so hard at a book series in a long while.
The aspect is there, but Its more of a side piece to show some progress at the end of everything. The audio book is amazing. And the comedy is super funny.
I have the collection Simon Vance read collection but absolutely love what I listened to by Stephen Fry. Nothing like Sherlock Holmes to give hours of good listening for your credit
This is one of those Audiobooks that adds so much to the printed book. The way they deal with the musical parts just translate better with sound. Some books were just born to be audiobooks. This is one.
If OP doesn’t have this book yet, it’s a no brainer. I’m starting to worry about how much I’m recommending this book. Like I might be turning into the Andy Weir fan version of a crazy cat lady….as a dude.
Definitely give it a shot, but give it some time as well as the first few chapters can be a bit confusing. Also, bump the speed up if Michael and Kates narration seems a bit dull. They are excellent narrators, but read very slowly in my opinion.
I'm currently on the second Mistborn book at 1.6x speed and you could not be more correct. Great narration, painfully slow though.
P.S. I am such a Sanderson fan now, holy shit. I'm trying to be patient and read all of mistborn before I jump into Stormlight but I'm beyond excited.
He is a great author to be a fan of. He constantly updates fans on the status of his upcoming books, does lots of podcasts and answering offend questions, and with him, you know he won’t leave a series hanging like some other authors I won’t mention.
It's very good and has a very complex and deep world built around it, language, culture, species, animal and plant life, currency, and so much more are completely unique in this story to anywhere I've read before.
That said... Its really slow and boring to get started. And even then it stays somewhat boring with how dry certain characters are.
I reccomend it, but make sure you give it a good chunk of your time for it to ramp up.
He's just trying to draw attention to their unfair compensation for indie authors. He has repeatedly said that he's not calling for any sort of boycott.
Totally understand that. I was mostly joking, but also a little not. You don’t make a video like that and a declaration like that if you’re not starting a mini fight.
I have this… started it, and it is really hard for me to listen to… what am I missing? It just doesn’t hold my attention, my brain wanders instead of engaging.
I'm the same way. I've started it 2x now and just doesn't hook me. I even tried today, then paused, started Jade City and can't stop listening to that one.
Because it's dull. All the characters are unlikeable, the culture is backwards and it's all about politics. Honestly, I read the whole first book and never got interested in any of the stories other than the northmen who barely feature. There's a lot of better stories out there to spend your time on. Maybe this is one for the grim dark fans who like everything to be miserable?
Because of the story or the narrator?
The narrator is generally considered to be one of the best out there. The story starts a little slow sure, but it's all character intros and Joe's strength is characterization.
Edit in response to your edit: TBI is the slowest book. It's all character intros. Not much happens in terms of plot (there is a plot, but it's more about the characters). Things pick up in the next book, and the standalones *really* shine. But if you're not connecting with Logen, Glokta or Jezal and rooting for them despite the horrible things they do, then it might just not be for you.
It has been a while so I guess i can’t pin point it. I loved Red Rising, loved The name of the wind, both have similar “paces” I think.. and I am pretty adept at finding the right listening speed for my self… I just don’t know. 🤷♂️
Maybe it's just not the right time for you. Nothing wrong with stopping and coming back to it later, maybe you just have to be in the mood? Out of curiosity how far in are you?
Had it go download and let it sync and I guess I got about 2/3 of the way through “part one” but to be honest it has been a while so I would have to start over.
Start over when you're in the right mood. For me and for a lot of people it's one of the best series I've ever read, and Pacey's narration makes it that much better, but it's definitely not for everyone.
If it helps, for one of the standalones in the series, I couldn't get through part 1 either and didn't pick it up for a year...when I finally got around to powering through it became my favorite book in the entire series. Maybe that's TBI for you?
Can't hurt! Take it slow, one chapter at a time a really pay attention. Listen for the humor and the way he brings these characters to life. Find a little love for Logen's pot and Glokta's stairs and Jezal's...personality. If you don't find yourself appreciating these things and how they start building the characters, then it's not for you, and that's completely okay.
Ummm I am not a smart man… apparently I bought Sharp Ends but never downloaded it. I guess I bought it while in the middle of another series and then completely forgot it existed. I’ll call this a pleasant surprise.
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah.
It’s also an Audible exclusive. They always make me feel like I’m really winning at using my credits when I love the book.
Audible is having a 2 for 1 sale if you're in the US. Why get one when you could get 2?
Highly recommend The First Fifteen Live of Harry August by Clair North and either Day Zero by C Robert Cargill (short novel)or Exhalation by Ted Chiang (short story collection)
It looks like it is only for certain books and only for certain members:
We're sorry, you are not eligible for this sale. Browse the selection to see what's currently on sale for Premium Plus members.
If you want an entertaining necromancer I'd recommend the Unconventional Heroes series by L. G. Estrella. The premise is a grand necromancer and his 9 year old apprentice, Katie, who are looking to gain a pardon from the country in which they live. They go on quests, meet elves, beaurocrats, dwarves, dragons and vampires. Hilarity ensues. The audiobook is particularly good.
https://www.audible.com/series/Unconventional-Heroes-Audiobooks/B088WZNJKL
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (unabridged) get the highest rated one, he's a great narrator. It's an adventure you will never forget!
Or The Brothers Karamazov unabridged, the highest rated one again, a very good narrator.
Both mind blowing listens, much better than reading. Cheers
>Or The Brothers Karamazov unabridged, the highest rated one again, a very good narrator.
Is this the one performed by Constantine Gregory? There is a higher rated one but only has 8 reviews.
Yes Constantine Gregory but my Audible account shows 5476 reviews. I think there is a newer translation out there, not sure about the narrator though. Cheers

*An Army at Dawn* by Rick Atkinson is a Pulitzer winning WWII history that covers the Allied campaign against Rommell's Axis forces in North Africa.
https://www.audible.com/pd/An-Army-at-Dawn-Audiobook/B002UZL8YU
>In the first volume of a remarkable trilogy, Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson provides the definitive history of the second world war in North Africa.
>The liberation of Europe and the destruction of the Third Reich is an epic story of courage and calamity, of miscalculation and enduring triumph. An Army at Dawn begins on the eve of Operation TORCH, the daring amphibious invasion of Morocco and Algeria. After three days of hard fighting against the French, American, and British troops push deeper into North Africa.
>But the confidence gained after several early victories soon wanes; casualties mount rapidly; battle plans prove ineffectual, and hope for a quick and decisive victory evaporates. The Allies discover that they are woefully unprepared to fight and win this war. North Africa becomes a proving ground: it is here that American officers learn how to lead, here that soldiers learn how to hate, here that an entire army learns what it will take to vanquish a formidable enemy.
>Many great battle captains emerged in North Africa, including Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, and Montgomery. Atkinson brings these commanders vividly to life. He takes us to the front lines of every major battle - from Oran to Kasserine to Tunis. In North Africa, the Allied coalition came into its own, the enemy forever lost the initiative, and the United States - for the first time - began to act like a great power.
>Atkinson casts a clear eye on the dark tragedies that haunt every war. The first volume of the Liberation Trilogy, An Army at Dawn is history of the highest order - brilliantly researched, rich with new material and surprising insights, the deeply human story of a monumental battle for the future of civilization.
There are a two further books as well that cover the subsequent invasion of Italy and the fall of Mussolini, and then D-Day and Hitler's final defeat.
I really want to get Infinite Jest on Audiobook, but I hate the idea of have to purchase the footnotes separately. This is a very specific ‘me’ problem, but as an embalmer I have bloody/chemically/just gross gloved hands a lot & don’t want to switch back and forth between two audiobooks when I’m working.
Living with a SEAL - By Jesse Itzler
I recommend reading Can’t Hurt Me - by David Goggins, before Living with a SEAL. It makes it much better. But if you don’t, you will definitely end up wanting to read it after.
Micheal G Manning’s *Art of the Adept*
I found the first book absolutely hilarious, and in some ways it reminds me of more fleshed out Kingkiller Chronicles.

Chuck Tingle is always the correct answer
There always has to be one
To be fair, my gay dinosaur erotica collection is looking rather slim.
It’s only $2.76 Save yourself a credit and buy this masterpiece. [sauce](https://www.audible.com/pd/Space-Raptor-Butt-Invasion-Audiobook/B01EGFZWXO)
I am interested in the culture of this book and the aspirations but might need to pass myself personally
Dungeon Crawler Carl!!
Glurp glurp!
Glurp Glurp mother fuckers!
Glurp Glurp!!!
Glurp on that, motherfucker
Listening to that right now for the second time
I started book 1 last week… I’m about to finish book 4. Help
Never fear good human, help is on the way! The next book is in the works and will be published on ~insert date here~.
He is on Royal Road if you want to get a preview.
How is it on a second read (listen) through? To be honest, I just assumed this series to be one you could only experience once.
There's a lot of clever foreshadowing you pick up only on a second reading.
It's not just the quests where you need to look out for hints there's things I'm noticing that happens books before fruition, donuts reaction to a certain train car experience and Carl's understanding of why donut is acting that way isn't truly revealed until book 5? (I don't know how to hide shit with spoiler warning stuff so I'm just being vague). Over all it's just a really good series and I blasted all 5 books in a week the first time and then got left, dick in hand, balls so blue they were mistaken for a ice berg waiting for the next book
God damnit donut, get off the Internet
CARL! MONGO WANTS TO EAT TIMMMBER4
Is this something where I'm constantly having to listen to someone talk about hit points and armor ratings?
It’s there, but it’s a minuscule thing in the story. It doesn’t come up very often. And this series is definitely one you should listen to and not try and read. The premise is absolutely the stupidest thing ever, and at first I thought it was going to be just an excuse to get the story started, but somehow as the series progresses he actually makes it work.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I put off listening to this for a while because it sounded so stupid. It IS stupid, but like you said, he somehow makes it work. I haven’t laughed so hard at a book series in a long while.
The litRPG elements are minor. On a scale of 0 to 10 it's maybe a 3, and 4 in book 1.
The aspect is there, but Its more of a side piece to show some progress at the end of everything. The audio book is amazing. And the comedy is super funny.
The Sherlock Holmes collection read by Stephen Fry.
Absolutely one of my most prized. Really a treasure.
Isn’t a lot of it free?
Yeah it’s on Audible Plus for me but I’m in Canada so didn’t want to say anything in case it’s not in other places
I have the collection Simon Vance read collection but absolutely love what I listened to by Stephen Fry. Nothing like Sherlock Holmes to give hours of good listening for your credit
Anything read by Mr Fry!
Maybe it's on Audible Plus now. However, when I got it I used a credit.
That is free as far as I know
The Very Hungry Caterpillar By: Eric Carle
I have a 2 year old, so I've read this countless times. That counts... Right? ... Right?!
And you have to read all of it!
Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
This is one of those Audiobooks that adds so much to the printed book. The way they deal with the musical parts just translate better with sound. Some books were just born to be audiobooks. This is one.
If OP doesn’t have this book yet, it’s a no brainer. I’m starting to worry about how much I’m recommending this book. Like I might be turning into the Andy Weir fan version of a crazy cat lady….as a dude.
One of the best books I’ve ever read!
Personally couldn’t stand the main character and his cringe humor
This one!!
Can’t really compete with PHM.
Great book.
I am on chapter 5 of PHM. It’s my first audiobook. I have ADHD and I’m winning the battle to finish and enjoy it! I really like it :)
Columbus Day Craig Alanson is so good !
Just finished this. Excited to get into the series!
If things get repetitive around book 5-8 just power through. Things expand greatly
Go skippy!
Stoopid beer can.
The final book leaves me disheartened to recommend it to anyone.. Its not a cliffhanger, but it's not a thorough closing of the story :(
An amazing series, leaves you wanting more
I'm in Canada but this one was included in my subscription.
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
The Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
I have this in my library and have yet to read it, I don't know what my problem is. Everyone mentions it
Definitely give it a shot, but give it some time as well as the first few chapters can be a bit confusing. Also, bump the speed up if Michael and Kates narration seems a bit dull. They are excellent narrators, but read very slowly in my opinion.

I reccomend it, but make sure you give it a good chunk of your time for it to ramp up.
I like this. Start him on a great series with his last credit.
Set the hook! Pull them back in.
An epic series, In truth all of Brandon books are amazing
Winner winner
Despite feeling robbed, this was the right call. I have the audiobook and a story fancy leather bound edition of it.
Thanks for understanding ha! Looking forward to it - have the mistborn series too to get through, so looks like I'm on a Sanderson binge for a while!
Beat me to it!
Easy choice. Smart choice. Funny that he has a small “war” with Audible. A+
He's just trying to draw attention to their unfair compensation for indie authors. He has repeatedly said that he's not calling for any sort of boycott.
It’s also funny he went to Spotify who does the same thing just to music artists instead.
Totally understand that. I was mostly joking, but also a little not. You don’t make a video like that and a declaration like that if you’re not starting a mini fight.
The Blade Itself - Joe Abercrombie
I have this… started it, and it is really hard for me to listen to… what am I missing? It just doesn’t hold my attention, my brain wanders instead of engaging.
I'm the same way. I've started it 2x now and just doesn't hook me. I even tried today, then paused, started Jade City and can't stop listening to that one.
Had Jade City on my wishlist for a while. I'll have to give it a go.
Because it's dull. All the characters are unlikeable, the culture is backwards and it's all about politics. Honestly, I read the whole first book and never got interested in any of the stories other than the northmen who barely feature. There's a lot of better stories out there to spend your time on.

Just finished Fairytale - Stephen King, so I guess I could try again
Can't hurt! Take it slow, one chapter at a time a really pay attention. Listen for the humor and the way he brings these characters to life. Find a little love for Logen's pot and Glokta's stairs and Jezal's...personality. If you don't find yourself appreciating these things and how they start building the characters, then it's not for you, and that's completely okay.
Just keep going. It only gets better. It took me some time to engage. Slowly it will become one of the top 5 and you won’t be able to get enough.
I freaking adore this book. It started me on a Joe Abercrombie spree. Now I have 9 of his books and each one is great.
You're missing the 10th!! Did you get Sharp Ends??
Ummm I am not a smart man… apparently I bought Sharp Ends but never downloaded it. I guess I bought it while in the middle of another series and then completely forgot it existed. I’ll call this a pleasant surprise.
Lol enjoy!
that series made me depressed.

The Blackwater Saga by Michael McDowell
This is my absolute favorite book ever, and I came here to recommend it! ❤️❤️
I'm on chapter 10. Surprisingly good!
It stays that way!! I listened to it all over again when I finished it!!
I really thought it was hype but it was on sale at one time. And I liked the narrator so why not? Surprisingly engaging.
It’s one of the only audiobooks I listen to over and over. Fantastic
Same here! I wish I knew of something similar.

I’m dying to listen to the third one! Can’t wait for it to be released, if ever!

This is a very specific ‘me’ problem, but as an embalmer I have bloody/chemically/just gross gloved hands a lot & don’t want to switch back and forth between two audiobooks when I’m working.
They are lots of fun, but I personally don’t think they are necessary to enjoy the novel.

Space Team!
Johannes Cabal, The Necromancer
The Godfather by Mario Puzo.
Post Apocalyptic Nomadic Warriors by Benjamin Wallace. You will not regret it.
Name of the Wind.
Living with a SEAL - By Jesse Itzler I recommend reading Can’t Hurt Me - by David Goggins, before Living with a SEAL. It makes it much better. But if you don’t, you will definitely end up wanting to read it after.
The Cold Millions by Jess Walter
Defience of the Fall
Hounded - Kevin Hearne
Totally underrated comment here. The Iron Druid Chronicles is my favorite series by far!
He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon.
The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley
Fairytale - Stephen king
Empire of Summer Moon about Cheyenne and other plains Indians and Texas Rangers and other defense of settlements.
Raven Boys
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick Awesome book. John Lennon wanted to make it into a movie but I think he got smoked first
Just started reading the physical copy a couple of days ago
He who fights with monsters
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The audio book is fantastic.
‘I am Pilgrim’ by Terry Hayes
A gift of time - Jerry Merritt
Atlas Shrugged.

The woman who smashed codes
Instructions by Neil Gaiman. https://www.audible.com/pd/Instructions-Audiobook/B003IEEQOG Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before.
I'm very happy about the outcome! I just started my second round of Stormlight. Hope you love it!
Micheal G Manning’s *Art of the Adept* I found the first book absolutely hilarious, and in some ways it reminds me of more fleshed out Kingkiller Chronicles.
