The heroes of Rogue Squadron are desperate to liberate the planet, and free prisoners trapped by Isard, only to find their plans foiled by the politics of the New Republic, which is set on assigning the squadron elsewhere.

In my opinion, the most important thing about Plus is that it gives the standard Audible membership (which used to be called Gold or Platinum plans but are now Audible Premium Plus 1 or 2 credits) a huge advantage in comparison to similar audiobook service models like Audiobooks.com and others. Subscriptions for Audible Premium Plus cost $14.95, and for that fee, you get an Audible credit that you can use for any audiobook in the entire Audible catalog, and on top of that, you also get free and unlimited access to the entire Audible Plus catalog so you can listen to as many audiobooks as you want, instead of just the one you bought with your credit.
Right now, the Audible Plus catalog has over 10,000 titles with new audiobooks being added every week. Those should indeed be additions though, not a rotation. Titles are unlikely to be removed from Audible Plus again and, according to Audible, you will be notified if a title you have saved has to be removed.
In my opinion, the new Plus catalog is a fantastic addition to add more value to the Audible Premium Plus plan. But whether you will be entirely happy with Audible Plus vs Premium Plus, whether it will feel like enough for you, depends on which kinds of audiobooks you enjoy and if you can find enough Plus titles that interest you.
To sum it up, if you are wondering whether Audible Plus is worth it, my answer is: Yes, but for only $7 a month more, you can have a full Audible Premium Plus membership and get an Audible credit that you can use for any audiobook of your choice from the entire audiobook store. And you can keep that one even after canceling your subscription. So, yes, Plus is worth it. But Audible Premium Plus is better value!
The Dispatcher and the second book in the series, Murder by Other Means, are an absolute must-listen for any Audible Plus subscriber! Zachary Quinto is a fantastic audiobook narrator and turned this weird and captivating story into perfect audio entertainment.
Sunset Springs is a raw, tender, beautiful Adult Trans M/M novella. And even though this is a quick listen, this Friends to Lovers Romance is completely captivating and emotional. Commarrah J. Yochanan is the perfect voice to bring this story to life and I can highly recommend this audiobook!
Alexis Hall is one of my all-time favorite authors. I love his books, his wonderful characters, his writing and was thrilled to see his addition to Kindle Unlimited audiobooks! Something Fabulous is a fun, wild, steamy Historical Romance with lots of witty banter. 2ff7e9595c
