I am finally posting some of my all time favorite fiction audiobooks. Of course the reader is always an important contribution to the experience and these are excellent narrations. Enjoy!
The Circle Trilogy (later renamed The Circle Series) by Ted Dekker, unabridged version by Rob Lamont. I've read a number of Dekker's books and while there are some that are better than others, I have enjoyed them all. His book, Three is close second.
The Oath by Frank E. Peretti, the abridged version includes a haunting narration by Joseph Campanella, but the unabridged version is equally good.. I first read this while driving my truck across Ohio late at night. Wow! If you’re partial to thrillers, Peretti and Dekker worked on a book together called House.
The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead, unabridged. A superb writer who is extremely well researched in history, language and geography, like no other fiction writer I've known. I've also found his King Raven Trilogy and The Song of Albion trilogy to be of exceptionally rare quality. Perhaps he may be considered to be the new C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein, rolled into one? You decide, and let me know in the comments.
The Pawn by Steven James. This is definitely not for the faint of heart and narrator, Richard Ferrone, will keep you riveted to your player long after you’ve arrived at your destination. Although the first book is the best in my opinion, the whole The Bowers Files series stands out as first class writing, filled with nail-biting suspense and great character development.
Deception by Randy Alcorn, Frank Mueller does a fabulous job on the first person narration of the third installment of the Ollie Chandler detective series, which captivated my attention.
False Witness by Randy Singer. As a lawyer and pastor, this writer brings some unique contributions to the publishing house. But don't think that means he is afraid of getting gritty.
The Testament by John Grisham. While Grisham does not write under a Christian banner, this writing will take you on a spiritual journey where you will discover what living life is really all about.
The Bancroft Strategy by Robert Ludlum. I'm a big fan of Ludlum, but this book takes a surprising spiritual twist, which is a unique contribution to his literary style riding on his intriguing cloak and dagger thrills. Here Ludlum dives head first into the meaning of life and explores the implications of its significance.
