Around Curiosity's Edge: Hidden Meridians

By: J.P. Hostetler

Narrated by: Porter S Haux

A hidden world waits, a dark society schemes, and a ship sails to protect that which cannot be lost.

Salem Swan knows none of this as he arrives in Easterly. He knows only that he misses his recently deceased mother, that his new guardian, his uncle Ulysses is unique, and that the boat which will now be his home is unlike anything he has ever seen.

Fearful of this new reality, Salem starts to ask questions that uncover the truth about his distant uncle, his long-gone father, and the true nature of the ship. The answers lead him into a place of myth and legend, where fantastic creatures wage an ages-old war with a radical group bent on eliminating them forever.

Rich with mythology from around the world, Hidden Meridians is the first installment of a fantasy series that takes readers into that place that is just around Curiosity's edge.

UB

Really enjoyed the story and the characters were all amazing. I looked forward to each chapter. The narrator was very good.

Versatile voice and a well conceived plot

Curiosity’s edge is a story about loss and how the characters deal with it in their lives. whether it’s the displaced magical creatures or those members of the Regulate who struggle with their humanity and sacrificing it. It’s a thoughtful and meaningful story driven by lovable characters and personalities; both good and evil. set in the backdrop of a wonderful yet clandestine world we can escape to within our own.

The narrator does an incredible job at distinguishing the 30+ characters and making them all unique. You can definitely tell that they had fun bringing authentic and enjoyable personalities into the story to make it captivating and interesting.

Can’t wait for the next installment!

The Narrator

Fantastic story but WOW the narrator! Fantastic performance! A master at emotion and matching his tone to the story. He is perfectly able to embody every character. I hope to hear more books from him.

Attention-grabbing plot with valuable message and high narrator quality

Hooked from the beginning. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve downloaded, listened to chapter 1 and never picked back up from loss of interest or poor narrator quality.

This tale is filled with highly relatable characters, immersed in an engaging plot that keeps you wanting to turn the pages (or hitting the play button on Audible). The narrator’s voice is dynamic and really kept my attention. 5 stars!!!!!
