"I've been a fan of Randy O'Brien's work for years, and with the
publication of "Judge Fogg," I think he's finally going to get the
recognition and readership he deserves. "Judge Fogg" is compelling and
engaging and I guarantee you, if you'll just read the first chapter, you
won't be able to put it down. It rings true and authentic. It's not only
a page-turner, but a page-turner that makes you think and moves you
profoundly. You'll carry "Judge Fogg" around with you for a long time
after you finish it...."

Sorry for the tech problems. I'll check and maybe I can correct the problems. Thanks for the kind words for JF.By: Nveegle1
I tried to get into this story three times and I just couldn't. It's very disappointing because the story seems intriguing. I was LOOKING for this kind of story too; seems like there's an absence of "black" stories on this Podiobooks service... Please let me clarify, it's not the story itself. I must admitt the "peace in the valley, someday" drops were a bit annoying to me. No, it's all the technical glitches and my version of the audio is not good at all. I haven't made it past the 1st chapter which is a shame because the story seems very interesting. Well, it's back to Scott Sigler and JC Hutchings.By: Randy
