Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013
Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.
There are some odd things about Nate's new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn't perfect, it's livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don't nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela's apartment. And Tim's. And Veek's. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)
"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)
"Entertaining despite going one step to far"
Like a lot of books, this one starts out great, so good in fact I was already looking at other titles written by this author. The dialog is great, the characters extremely well crafted eccentric and imbued with great chemistry. The story takes off and begins to take you into the world of the apartment, building some great creepyness with what the troop finds. I do not want to give out any plot spoilers so I will just say that for a bit the books takes things into the surreal just a bit to far, it crosses the line into silly, then comes back. I was bummed by that because the book overall is really good, there is tension, a great storyline that is unique, well crafted dialog and evidence that the author has talent actually writing, that segment though dampers the experience a great deal, does not ruin the book but takes it out of the four or five star category. As a mention, the narration is well done and fits the mood and characters of the story very well.
Recommended with a sigh at what could have been a great book, but what is in fact only a pretty good book
Movie loving Brit living Down Under. Anything 'end of the world' themed usually gets my attention, but The Stand has yet to be beat.
Go in as cold as possible.
Guy finds an apartment that's too good to be true in a house that gets weirder the more he looks at it. Throw in some terrific supporting characters, a good backstory and some real head-scratching oddities and this is pretty much a must-read. It's just entertaining as hell and the narration is sublime.
Add it to your library.
"A stay-at-home thrill ride."
An excellent read in the vein of Steven King's Under the Dome or Duma Key. A great set of characters. And a fun collection of strange and quirky mysteries which all add up to one big thriller and a fun climax. I will read more from Clines.
As an Audible Editor I listen for a living! British classics, YA novels, speculative fiction, and anything quirky, fascinating, or heart-wrenching.
"I went from skeptical to obsessed"
After talking my my co-worker Chris into checking out some of my favorite YA books it was my turn to take him up on a recommendation – and his pick for me was WAY outside of my normal listening zone. 14 is a Lovecraftian sci-horror novel that feels pulpy and modern at the same time. There's plenty of kitsch, and lots of old-fashioned sci-fi techniques are on display here, but the voice is still totally fresh, as is Ray Porter- who totally nails the narration. It's one of the weirdest and best books I've ever listened to, and from the number of 5 star reviews it would seem our listeners agree!
Rating scale: 5=Loved it, 4=Liked it, 3=Ok, 2=Disappointed, 1=Hated it. I look for well developed characters, compelling stories.
"My bad"
SciFi is not my usual genre, but the almost universal rave reviews with promises that this was new and different than any other book around made me take the leap of faith. Ultimately I was both disappointed and pleased at different points in the story.
I hated the slower than molasses set-up. It took right at half the book to get beyond the introductions to the cast of characters, and as much time as the author took to work everyone into the narrative, there was little depth to any of them. You could see the broad stereotypes from central casting. The comparisons to Scoobey and the gang sounded somewhat intriguing in the reviews that I read, but especially in the front half of the book it became tiresome and trite.
Once I hit the halfway mark, things picked up considerably. There was action and the wild ride creativity that had been promised in the reviews. It was Scoobey Doo meets Dr. Who, and I mean that in a good way. (Yes, Dr. Who is my one scifi guilty pleasure). Well written, unexpected and breathtaking. The characters took on greater depth and dimension as they were (finally) given something to do.
Then I hit hour 10. After the thrilling Act 2, I wondered what the author was going to do for four more hours. That's when it hit some hard core scifi that I don't mean in a good way. The fans of the book who gave the rave reviews obviously had no problems with the turn of events. But it didn't appeal to me. I don't want to ruin anyone else's pleasure with spoilers, so I won't be specific about what disappointed me. But the movie Jaws came to mind in the sense that for most of the movie we never saw the shark, and we were scared to death. It was after we actually saw the shark that it didn't quite match our imaginations. That was the kind of let-down that I felt. True fans of Clines may be better pleased. But for my leap of faith - my bad.

"Ray Porter Brings Clines Strange Tale to Life"
Read the full review at my blog The Guilded Earlobe:
I have become quite a big fan of Ray Porter's narration style, and his rich voice. Porter is one of my favorite first person narrators. He understands that speech isn't always fluid and flawless, but includes affectations, and inconstant pacing. Porter can do more with a pause and a sigh, than many narrators can do with poetry. Yet, this was the first time I have listened to Porter read a novel written in the third person. I wondered if his style would be as good of a fit with this type of tale as it is with his first person narration. Thankfully, I can report that it totally was. Porter perfectly captures all of Clines strange collection of characters. It was interesting to see Porter, who I know best as the voice of Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger, bring to life a character that is basically soft spoken and unsure of himself. Yet, Porter does more than capture the main character Nate well, but allows the soft voice he creates for him to grow stronger as the book moves on, highlighting the transformation of the character. One of Porter's other strong suits is voicing exotic women, and that serves him well with the lead female character Veek. In fact, each character is given a voice that highlights their personalities and place in this story, which was very helpful with such a large cast of important characters. And I can't talk about the ending. Really, what Porter does with the final third of the book is just nightmare inducing. It seriously freaked me out, people. Peter Clines novels are always highly visual, with intricately detailed action that comes across splendidly in audio. 14 is one of those books where even if you already read the print version, experiencing the audio version will bring it own rewards.
"Utterly enjoyable!"
The story was UTTERLY unpredictable and MOST enjoyable!
The wit and humour woven into the seriousness and reality of certain situations.
Vika was a favourite as she faced and dealt with challenges to her world both personal and interpersonal.
My eyes were wide with wonder in parts and then in other parts you couldnt help but laugh uproariously and from the belly at others.
The narrator was absolutely superb!!!!! I want him to be Chief Reader for all Audio Books!!!
Tell us about yourself!
"This is the reason I keep taking chances"
Books like this one are the reason I keep taking chances on unknown (to me) authors and books. I really enjoyed the building of the mystery and the mystery of the building and the references to pop culture. It really helped pass the workday and held my attention throughout. I really enjoyed the performance and had fun listening.
"Fresh, intriguing, and full of mystery"
I think there are three things that work very well together
1. The book is full of great character development and chemistry between the residents of the building. You want them to succeed and believe they are friends.
2. The mystery unfolds at a satisfying pace and doesn't disappoint. I had a very hard time putting it down. I found myself looking for moments I could steal way to listen.
3. The writing is witty and clever.
That is very hard. They all work so well together. If I had to make a choice I would say Tim. Mainly for his patience, wisdom, and things that unfold in the book.
I have not. I was very impressed with this narrator and even looked up his other books to see if there was anything I might like. I really liked his performance!
I listen to a lot of books and a lot of those are mysteries. There comes a time when you see the same patterns being used over and over. I was getting a little tired of what was out there. This was an incredibly fresh book. I will caution people that it does have a sci-fi feel similar to the television show, "Lost". If you prefer linear police detective books over unexpected thrillers, then you may not like the content. You can't argue, however, with the superb writing and the excellent narration.
Love a good book. I am usually reading one and listening to one in my car (not at the same time, of course). I like just about any fiction.
"Unique story that had me from word one!"
I have listened to a lot of audio books and I have never felt compelled to share a review about any of them. That is not to say they were not great or that I didn't enjoy them and it is not an insult to those books but rather a testament as to how much I enjoyed 14. I have never read anything from this author before and I am not sure why I choose this book. I read the description and though it sounded interesting.
I was sucked in right away. I found myself taking the long way to and from the office. I was listening to it while doing yard work, I just didn't want to stop listening. I don't want to give anything away so I will not go into any plot lines. All of the characters are well developed and I found myself interested in all of them. I enjoyed the bond that builds between them as the story goes on. The plot was unique and mysterious. The narrator was fantastic and I think really makes the story come to life. Overall, it was one of the very best audio books I have listened to and I would encourage people to take a chance on this one.
Probably not, it's not really my favourite genre
I haven't read too much science fiction, but it reminds me of TV shows like Stargate. It's a bit of a sci-fi horror story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
I don't think it needs one, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to come up with one.
"House of mysteries"
A very enjoyable story, mixing different genres: there is a little bit of mystery, thriller, sci-fi and horror, and the combination works really well. Despite the presence of many unusual elements you won't encounter in your every day life, the story remains credible.It starts as a mystery: Nate moves into a new apartment, located in an old, historical building in L.A., with a suspisciously low rent. After a while he notices that there are some oddities about each apartement in the building and together with the other tenants he starts nosing around. What they will discover however goes way beyond any rational explanation.
I haven't read anything like this book, maybe that's why it felt so fresh and enjoyable.
I haven't listen to any other book narrated by Ray Porter, but now I will search for others - I think the narration was brilliant: he managed to give a distinctive voice for each character (and he didn't give irritating or absurd voices to women), so it was easy to know who was talking when. The pace and sound of his voice are also right: you can wholly concentrate on the story without straining to catch the words.
I enjoyed the story, it made me laugh at some points (there is a lot of humour and irony), during the final two hours I felt, well, a little scared.
I really recommend the book, even for those who, like me, are not horror/ sci-fi afficionados. It kept me hooked, I stayed up until three in the morning, I had to know how it would end.
"Fantastic read!!"
14 ranks number 1 among all the audiobooks I've listened to so far. I couldn't stop listening to it.
Very original idea and great characters.
There are too many of them...
Yes, no doubt about it.
Please give this book a try. It's a very enjoyable read. The narration is fantastic too. It brings the story to life.
"Great Fun Read! Ignore the negative reviews!"
It's a fun read that crosses genres. If you fancy a light, fun read it's great! It's more similiar in the weight to Jim Butcher, it's pulp fiction. Don't expect hard core military sci fi, you'll be disappointed as it's more a mystery mix of Buffy and The Twliight Zone, with a little sprinkle of lighter side of Stephen King's paranormal. To me it was a great little page turner and I enjoyed immensely. I don't write many reviews but found myself writing this review to defend it against the recent few bad reviews as I think they're rather unfairly putting people off reading it. I highly recommend it, it's a refreshing little read in a sea of tedious Zombie, sleep inducing alien-killing sci fi and rubbish Vampire books. Give it a go! It's well worth while...
"Very good!"
A really enjoyable mystery/thriller/horror. I've been listening to a lot of British audio books so the American accent took a bit of getting used to but didn't detract from the story at all. Once it got going it was hard to stop listening!
"A fascinating addiction"
This book draws you into the daily lives of the people in it and simply compels you to carry on listening
The discovery of what is underneath
It is fascinating to find that you have been listening to what are essentially mundane descriptions but never feel that the words are wasted. The characters draw you in and let you be part of the tale
"Took me somewhere I wasn't expecting"
I didn't expect the book to go where it did. Consequently I had to readjust my boundaries of acceptance/credibility, but once I did, it was an interesting ride. Didn't expect where the book took the characters (and me) and didn't expect the ending.
"Brilliant Book"
Yes Yes Yes Excellent characters, brilliant storyline
An unexpected plot line, Really good characters
He brings the Characters to life, he's able to voice them in such a way that by the time your half way through the book you know who's speaking without the he said she said.
Please someone pick this up for a film, make a brilliant film.
Can we have a 14 2 plz
"On the edge of your seat read"
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing throughout and ended in a way I would not have anticipated. A good read with lots of twists and turns.
"I wasn't expecting that!"
I would listen to it again because the last quarter of the story so took me by surprise that I want to go over the rest again to see how it lead up to the climax
I liked the characters and the twists and turns and revelations about their individual secrets. The way the story starts off banal and everyday and builds into the fantastical is excellent.
I enjoy the way Ray reads books and puts emphasis and drama into the important bits yets conveys the boredom and irritation when describing the everyday and munane. You could miss the importance of some of the novel if you were just reading it.
I found it kept me engaged and interested all the way through although this did wane towards the end with the monsters coming onto the scene whch just made me annoyed. I do think the more writers try to describe aliens the more it undermines their credibility. I prefer it when things are left more to the imagination. I had admiration for the way Clines tried to present something unique though and I know I engaged emotionally with the book because at the end when the main character took on the job of caretaker of our world I felt proud and sad it was ending for now.
It definitely needs a sequel please! I definitely feel there is more mileage in this concept and more adventures to be drawn into just like the tales of Narnia.

90 points Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "Big and bold in the nose with a wealth of ripe cherries tied to lots of very rich oak, this very solid Merlot is well-filled at every and all points and finds glimmers of tea-like complexity that are sure to intensify over time. It toughens a bit at the finish with a trim of Cabernet-like tannins taking hold, but this is one meant for keeping and looks to be a good bet for holding upwards of five or six years." (11/08)

Chelsea primed to steal a march on title rivals
London: Chelsea have a gilt-edged opportunity to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League this weekend and there is nothing their main title rivals can do about it.
With second-placed Liverpool having a week off and Arsenal and Manchester City in FA Cup action, all the chasers can do is hope Tottenham Hotspur can end one of the longest jinx`s in English football and upset the odds at Stamford Bridge.
Twenty four years have passed and 15 managers have come and gone at the north London club since Tottenham last won at Chelsea - a miserable sequence that even the most optimistic Spurs fans would struggle to believe will end on Saturday.
Chelsea are gaining momentum in ominous fashion as the home straight to the title race looms and while Manchester City will have three games in hand after the weekend, a nine-point deficit to Jose Mourinho`s side would leave them precious little margin for error.
Perhaps a glimmer of optimism for Liverpool`s Brendan Rodgers, Arsenal`s Arsene Wenger and City`s Manuel Pellegrini is that Tottenham have the best away record in the top flight and are still harbouring top-four hopes themselves.
Despite not playing fluently, they are fifth and victory at Chelsea would leave them just a point behind City and three adrift of arch-rivals Arsenal who they host next week.
Tim Sherwood`s side have picked up 29 points on the road this season, winning nine games out of 14.
Chelsea have been strong at home, though, winning 12 and drawing two as Mourinho`s incredible statistic of never having lost a league game at Stamford Bridge rolls on.
Champions Manchester United have the chance to edge a little closer to the top four with a Saturday lunchtime kickoff at West Bromwich Albion who earlier in the season won at Old Trafford for the time in 35 years.
Albion fans mocked United manager David Moyes that day, suggesting he would be "sacked in the morning" but it was their manager Steve Clarke who was cast aside and West Brom are now hovering just above the relegation zone with new boss Pepe Mel under pressure.
Defeat for United would surely end their remote hopes of finishing in the Champions League places, leaving their best route back into the competition to win it, although with a 2-0 deficit to overturn against Olympiakos in the last 16 that scenario looks unlikely too.
Midfielder Juan Mata said March could be a make or break month for United.
"We have five Premier League games against important rivals such as Liverpool and Man City," he told United`s website.
"We do know it is a crucial month to climb up positions on the league table and we are going to give our best to try and win every single match."
The weekend`s other matches all involve teams battling to avoid the drop.
The bottom two clubs meet with Cardiff City hosting Fulham in a match where for once the description "a six-pointer" is not out of place. Defeat for either in the Welsh capital would see the trapdoor open a little wider.
"This Saturday is now the biggest game for us, Fulham at home," Cardiff`s Ben Turner told the club`s website.
"We`ve been saying for a few games at home that they are 'must win` recently, and this game more than fits that description. There are ten games left and our aim is to try and win fifty per cent or more of them."
Crystal Palace, three points above the bottom three in 16th place, host Southampton, probably the only side in the top flight to have little to play for this season, they being well clear of danger and too far adrift of the European spots.
Norwich City, who are just a point better off than Palace, take on a Stoke City side who could move into the relative comfort of 10th with three points.

ACL Dudefest: M. Ward, David Byrne, Bobby Bare Jr. and Ryan Bingham
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for Austin City Limits to put acoustic singer-songwriter M. Ward a few hundred yards away from boisterous gypsy-punks Gogol Bordello in the WaMu tent. (On a side not, I guess this year is the WaMu tent's last ACL hurrah. Sponsorship, anyone). Nevertheless, the Portlander's dusky death-blues more than held their own; amazingly enough, Gogol was hardly audible as the well-miced Ward came through loud and clear. Eventually aided by a full band, Ward shone on several cuts from 2006's stellar Post-War, particularly the strummy REM-ish rocker "Right In the Head," beautiful sad-eyed country ballad "Pieces of a Broken Heart" and fuzz-clouded uplifter "He Was a Good Man." He can pick like Chet Atkins (or not far off) if he's a mind to, too. Click here for more...

President Bush asked Congress yesterday for sweeping, unlimited authority to use "all means he determines to be appropriate, including force" to topple the Iraqi government.
The Senate's Democratic majority leader, Tom Daschle of South Dakota, said: "We don't want to be a rubber stamp, but we do want to be helpful and we want to be supportive." He said, "it is my strong desire, as I've noted now on several occasions, to work on one resolution, to have a bipartisan resolution that would be taken up in both the House and the Senate."
Well, many people aren't pleased with the Democratic leader's response. Protesters paid a visit to Daschle's home in Washington, D.C. this morning.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
16 Nov 2008 03:23 GMT
"We arrested 25 women and seven men who were dancing near Balad. We released them after whipping them. We warned them many times, but they wouldn't listen," he said.
"The dancing of men and women together is illegal and totally against Islam. We neither killed them nor injured them, but only whipped them according to the Islamic law," Adow said.
Rape victim stoned
Last month, Somali fighters stoned to death a 13-year-old girl after an Islamic court in the southern port of Kismayo found her guilty of adultery. It later emerged that she was raped.
The UN said the girl was raped by three men while visiting her grandmother.
The fighters were forced out of southern Somalia early in 2007 after battling with Ethiopian-backed Somali forces, which ended their brief contorl of the territory where they had imposed Islamic law.
But they have turned to guerrilla attacks on Ethiopian, Somali and African Union peacekeepers, mainly in Mogadishu, and have had some success.
Somalia has had no effective government since a coup removed Siad Barre from power in 1991, starting a bloody power struggle that has defied numerous attempts to restore stability.

Last year was supposed to be the year, but this campaign turned out to be the one for Newtown High School's boys' golf team. The Nighthawks surprised defending champion Pomperaug of Southbury, and the rest of the field, to claim the South-West Conference championship at Danbury's Ridgewood Country Club, on May 29. The Nighthawks shot 322 and the Panthers shot a 336.
"It's an unbelievable feeling to win this thing," Newtown Coach Bill Flood said. "This was a total team effort today."

FFX is my favorite FF so it's no surprise I have been pumped over the re release.
I actually replay it quite often but held back the urge when they began production on the HD.
As soon as I'm done playing it'll either be X-2 on my list or Tales of Xillia. (just preordered the sequel)

This one is all about making the right educational choices for our kids. And dad guilt.
Not quite macro.
Crazy beautiful footage of two very insane people flying.
An approach to editing exactly the opposite of my normal instincts.
Tasty shot of a well-restored 1968 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle.
Love the lines, love the color.
This is a SOOC that looks a little like a painting.
I talk about the Mac OS version of the new Photos app and spring tentatively arrives in Brooklyn. Fingers crossed.

The English Marriage, By Maureen Waller
Sunday 27 June 2010
This scholarly but highly readable work of social history traces the evolution of the English marriage from the late Middle Ages to the present day.
Originally, marriage laws were no more (or less) than a means of securing property; a woman had to hand over all the property she owned or that her family could endow her with, in return for the physical protection of a husband. Curiously, although English wives had no legal rights of their own, English women were much freer than their continental counterparts. There are some wonderful stories here, such as that of the 18th-century adventuress Con Phillips, serial mistress and bigamist, who was under house arrest when she self-published her memoirs and had to sell them through the window.
The English Marriage is the story of the gradual loosening of restrictions and granting of rights to women. What's heartening is that, despite the many abuses and cruelties the old marriage laws gave rise to (it was once legal for a man to beat his wife with a stick, as long as it was no thicker than his thumb), Maureen Waller supplies evidence that there were also happy, loving marriages in every age.

The sanitised version of Huckleberry Finn soon to be issued by an Alabama-based publisher is further proof that on matters of race at least, Thomas Bowdler is alive and well and living in the United States.
The word "nigger" appears 219 times in one of the best-loved works of all American literature, first published in 1884. Since then however the word has become the ultimate unmentionable in proper society, an epithet as dirty or dirtier than the foulest obscenities. In the press and on television, it is invariably denoted merely as "the N-word".
Like it or not, however, the word is around. High-school teachers may do their utmost to keep the book out of the curriculum. But their sensitive charges are likely to hear the infamous word in the play-yard during breaks.
How much better, surely, for the book to be taught in its unexpurgated form. That way, students could explore the social changes that made a word that raised few eyebrows in the 19th century quite unusable at the start of the 21st.
In the process, other truths might be easier to acknowledge. A year ago, the Senate majority leader Harry Reid was forced into a grovelling apology when he was quoted in a book on the 2008 campaign as saying that Barack Obama could be elected because "he was a light-skinned negro with no negro dialect, unless he chose to have one". Only in a Bowdlerised society could the statement of self-evident fact be construed as racism.
