A fantastic finish to a good story!

What did you love best about State of Nature?
I really enjoyed that I was unable to predict what came next. The basis of the story is unique as it is a story about survival, coming of age, compassion, and growth. As a science fiction fan, I have to admit that the non-science fiction components did not take away from the enjoyment of this book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of State of Nature?
For me, the most memorable moment was when Aubrey realized what the State of Nature really was, what it meant, and how to make sure it got off to a good start. So basically the last three chapters of the book, and the epilogue.
Which scene was your favorite?
Honestly, the epilogue where Aubrey comes out of the valley. The first and only book to bring me to tears when Aubrey returns to the cove.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This is the final battle of the last war
Any additional comments?
I loved this trilogy. I only gave the story 4/5 stars as for me the love story took away from the sci-fi that I enjoy so much, but make no mistake, every thing in this book blends so seem lesson that I cannot deny the pleasure of listening to it. A unique blend with a unique take on the aftermath of World War 3.

Great listen
Revisado: 10-30-14
Where does Isle of Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 5
What other book might you compare Isle of Man to and why?
I can't compare it. The story is very unique.
Which character – as performed by Michael Braun – was your favorite?
Jimmy
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I like my audio books for making my commute to work more interesting.
Any additional comments?
While at its very heart, this is a part love story, the idea behind the story and the characters make it science fiction enough to entertain. Well written, well performed, and worth the time to listen to.

I was impressed!
Revisado: 07-24-14
If you could sum up The Park Service in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, gripping, exciting
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jimmy is my favorite because he is smart with a lot of practicle things and yet blissfully ignorant of technology and understands a balance between man and nature, survival and domination.
Which scene was your favorite?
Flooding the foundation with the destruction of Eden.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The devastation in the cove during the slaughter. It was written and described in such a fashion that I could feel my sympathy growing for Aubrey having to watch it happen. I could almost feel his horror, and picture his awestruck expression.
Any additional comments?
Having read the book, I was extremely impressed with this audio book. The narrator spoke in a voice that was almost exactly what I had in my head as Jimmy's. Additionally, the way he was able to speak for each character and capture their personalities was nigh on perfection.
This book was well written and now stands among my favourites. The characters are balanced amongst themselves. You have action, romance, mixed with events that really have you wanting to see (or hear rather) what happens next.
Even though I had previously read the books, listening to it in the car I found myself upset when I reached my destination as I didn't want to turn it off, I wanted to keep listening to the next big event in the book.
Listening to the narrator describe the landscapes, the events and the characters, being so well written, I found myself unable to find any negatives with this book.
I almost enjoyed the audio book better (almost) than reading the book on my Kobo app.
To Ryan Winfield, thank you for writing such a good book, and please write more in this genre.
Now I move on to Book 2: Isle of Man, and I can't wait to hear the narrator capture the character personalities as this story moves on and develops.
