Trin

By: J.M. Snyder

Narrated by: Nick Johnson

In a future where outposts swelter beneath a nuclear sun and run-gunners patrol dusty wastelands to protect against winged creatures known as devlars, Trin is the mech at the waystation in Arens. He has a thing for the gunners: rough men with strong hands and hard bodies, who roll through his garage like the hot desert wind.

Gerrick’s the best gunner around, a quick draw with a deadly aim and a penchant for sharing his pallet with young men. He has a roving eye and roaming hands, and has left a string of broken hearts in his wake.

Having heard the tales of Gerrick's bravery and seen the man in action for himself, Trin has fallen in love with the man he believes Gerrick to be, and he’s sure he can change the gunner’s mind if given the chance. Gerrick’s all he wants out of this blasted world, and he tells anyone who will listen.

Then Gerrick rides through Arens. He’s heard the rumors of what Trin will do for a gunner who only mentions his name. What he wants to know is, what will Trin do for him?

Basically one of those young nieve man meets worldly older daddy man. No real story. No passion. the sex had no heat. Even the "love" expression was flaccid. No real story. No background or context to build a world to give the character life. Just two dimensional picture book characters moving from typical scene to scene.

I’m not sure how to feel…

I absolutely loved the audio performance by Nick Johnson; I think he is a great voice actor.

I also enjoyed the story. I was more than a little surprised at how things went down. I definitely wasn’t expecting the ending. I’m fairly new to JM Snyder’s writing and I’m glad I’ve been given the opportunity to listen to her audiobooks.
