About this listen
Henry Donner had heard of people avoiding a flight because of premonitions of doom, but he never suspected that the opposite may also be true: some people are drawn to a doomed plane because deep down, they hunger for the end. Worse, it may be their collective, suicidal will that makes it happen. Now, only as redeye Flight 290 lifts off does Donner realize the truth: the airliner's final destination isn't New York, but oblivion, and he's the only one who can do anything about it - if, that is, he can get past the demonic forces on board to watch it happen.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44,784
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.

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

An intense psychological thriller for fans of I Am Watching You, The Luckiest Girl Alive, and All the Missing Girls. Two missing girls. Thirteen years apart. Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots. I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to 13 years ago.

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor. Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.

The coauthor of Beowulf’s Children strikes out on his own with this novel of mystic revelation and martial arts. What if the disciplines we know as the martial arts, meditation, and fasting were mere fragments of a greater, more powerful killing art? What if that hidden discipline could produce in a man the power to manipulate matter and energy at will? What if the effect on the mind were so deadly that, uncontrolled, the result would be an inhuman killer?

Not what you might expect
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
This turns out to be somewhat of a spiritual offering ( I don't want to be more of a spoiler than that ) so I suppose the listener would need to be "into that sort of thing".
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The actual descriptive middle section of the book was fascinating, as was the conclusion. There were no totally dull or uninteresting parts.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, very much so. Well done, esp. for a 2 voice story.
Do you think Redeye needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, it is complete unto itself.

Take flight to the Twilight Zone
I enjoyed this immensely. The narration and production is top notch. I was a little surprised by the fact that it's set sometime in the 1970's but once I adjusted accordingly I had great fun. I'm not going to spoil it but the story has a nice message too, very much in the tradition of the Twilight Zone.

Interesting read
This was an interesting concept, with a neat performance. The interplay between the two narrator voices - both very engaging actors - made listening to it more dramatic.
The story is less about a plane trip than something more metaphysical, and I'm not sure I or the author ever decided whether it was a thriller or psychological sci-Fi. But I enjoyed it.

A great story about horror, and also of love.
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."
It takes a little while to place all the playing pieces, but when the story starts unfolding it's a crazy ride into darkness with no place to escape to. The story keeps you guessing what the heck is happening for a while, and when you figure it out then it becomes a race against time and a story of redemption. Very well written. The ending was refreshingly unpredictable and I applaud that (don't you just hate it when you figure out the ending 3/4 of the way in?). This was my second book from G. Norman Lippert, the first being "The freezing season" which I absolutely loved, give that one a read too.

Like a Twilight Zone Radio Dram
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The unique narration style, using both male and female narrators, gives this story a unique drama and listenability, similar to classical radio dramas.
What other book might you compare Redeye to and why?
The dark fairy tale brevity of this story reads almost exactly like early Stephen King/Richard Bachman novellas.
Which scene was your favorite?
The dialogue between all three of the evil stewardesses and our protagonist was pure delight, with Jeannie Linn portraying all three women with viciously unique voices and personalities.
Any additional comments?
This story is a rare mix of horror, black comedy, and morality play. Somehow it works on all three levels without diluting itself in any way.

Too predictable to be 5 star
I received a free review copy of this audio book, at my request, and am voluntarily leaving this unbiased review.
I'm not sure how to classify this book, it's not sci fi, not mystery, not fantasy, not thriller, but some combination of some of those. It made for a confusing listen
The story follows a man boarding a flight, in 1979, headed across the US. The setting is limited to the terminal and the air place (for the most part) and for a short story it does not feel confined.
The main character is really the only character. There are 1 dimensional people with whom he has limited interactions with, but really just the main character. This is actually a good thing as the story is short enough that if we had to delve into several character arcs, then it would all feel rushed. The main character is well developed and has a unique personality which is focused on a single trait, but adjusts and changes over the course of the story.
The plot is interesting enough for the format. I think it would be difficult to turn it into a full novel, without it being slow or loosing focus.
The voice narration by Steve White and Jeannie Lin is good. Steve does the bulk of the narration, being the narrator and main character. Jeannie does the female voices, which are not often. Both are good enough and neither stands out as a great or terrible actor. It's an interesting choice though. I'm used to 1 narrator or a whole team, and have never listened to a book done in this way. It was pretty good, but not awesome.
I was a little disappointed with how predictable the book was, though. Maybe elements of this have just popped up too many times for it to feel fresh. It's not completely taken from other sources, and it is put together in a specific way as to be the authors own, but enough of other sources exist in it, for it not to be surprising or new. It's what takes this from being a 5 star to a 4. It doesn't ruin it, but it meant I was just listening to find out if I was right.
Still, worth a read/listen to.

I was pleasantly surprised how the story played out. This book would definitely be worth a credit. I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

This story set in the 70's, is right out of either Twilight Zone or maybe Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The plane is going to the passengers final destination or is it. One man must figure it out.Unexpected ending, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.
