Lazy propaganda cloaked as entertainment

Revisado: 01-28-24

More garbage trying to rewrite history.

I get it. The allies as evil as Hitler. Evil imperialists make a deal with the devil then screw the devil over.

So tired of all these ridiculous lies. The entire 38 minutes is hate. Propaganda and an attempt to rewrite history in a silly little “fictitious” story. The attempt to liken real events with deals with evil forces is so veneer it’s laughable.

I know the writers make these stupid insipid stories as a buffer to proclaim “it’s just a story”, but their obvious attempts to whitewash truth are clear.

Shame on Audible for even putting up with their garbage, let alone producing it.

Started strong.. got weird.

Revisado: 12-15-23

So weird that I lost interest and didn’t finish. I wish he’d stuck with the original premise.

Ummm… quite the stretch

Revisado: 12-15-23

Ever read a book where you just felt a tiny bit dumber at the end? The author has some writing skill, that’s certain. But it’s wasted on incredibly unrealistic story lines and cliche’d characters.

She can do much much better. Hopefully she takes the challenge.

Woke garbage from a broken generation

Revisado: 07-13-23

Wow. Where do I even begin. How far our world has fallen. This story is nothing but one massive virtue signal by the most unlikeable of characters. Imagine a bunch of overbearing millennials working hard to out-trigger each other with absolutely zero self awareness of their own, and you just hoping they’ll go away.

That’s how tedious this story is. It’s simply horrific and is an unwitting account of how stupid and overly dramatic (triggered) our world has become.

Predictable

Revisado: 10-18-22

The story was highly predictable and borrowed heavily from other novels and stereotypes.

Also, I live in the area where this story takes place and it was a completely inaccurate description of it. It ruined any possibility Of enjoyment for me. I suggest the author actually research his settings instead of look at a few pictures and commit a lot of lazy guesswork to his novel.

Every writer needs to read this.

So many specifics and details. The best book to guide you through the entire process os writing a novel. Not just a list of helpful tips, but a blueprint to completion. Kudos to this author for sharing his hard earned knowledge.

A beautiful story that goes nowhere

Revisado: 04-18-22

So many loose ends left untied. So many avenues left unexplored. So many parallels left unconnected.

Too many. Was left wholly unsatisfied, resolved or even really edified. It was rich yet unrolling and therefore unsatisfying.

The writer should put this through one more edit and tie a few things up.

Volume issues. Cannot hear anything but faint voices. Shame. Seems it would have been a great podcast.

Manifestations of a disturbed mind

Revisado: 03-18-21

The author is self admittedly mentally ill. He has been diagnosed and is currently in treatment. His diagnosis fits squarely into the realm of the fantasy he is describing.

The authors claims are statistically impossible. He speaks of 26+ secluded meeting places with guards stationed at intervaled checkpoints Mathematically, based on his assertions, that would take some 260,000 sentries monitoring entry into what is supposed to be a covert late night meeting to abuse children.

This is not to mention that such sites in rural California simply don’t exist. Nowhere has a 5-mile privately controlled radius, let alone 26 other locations. And that the locations are constantly changing makes it logistically impossible. All to serve some 26,000 abusers.

Further, the author goes into some very detailed descriptions of his 19+ alter egos or split personalities. He knows them and they manifest regularly.

However, oddly, for everyone else who denies his claims, they too (according to him) have alter egos that carry out the abuse, but somehow they don’t know they exist.

In other words, his alter egos are know bu him and manifest without advanced notice, catching others off guard. However everyone else involved has alter egos unknown to their that ONLY manifest to molest children and carry out the bidding of the Illuminati.

When facts don’t make sense and numbers simply don’t compute, this only makes sense in a seriously deluded mind.

If his details don’t stand scrutiny, can his other claims?

Extremely unbalanced...

Revisado: 01-09-21

Author spends more time justifying the feasibility of his science fiction than he does in building a believable story and characters.

First, we have a massive 28,000 square foot gateway machine, and pretty much one woman who programmed it, designed it, built it, and is the only person who can “finesse” the massif smashing (authors word), that machine into working properly. The author seems to be oblivious to the incredible scale of such an endeavor and the dozens of teams and thousands of specialists required to undertake such an endeavor.

Second, we have the most predictable characters imaginable, aside from the token “Rosie Perez” scientist who is a brilliant scientist, but can’t manage to speak anything other than ghetto Spanglish.

You have your loyal minority sidekick, the tenuous protagonist, the greedy antagonist, the impatient senator and the sexy but evil assistant pushing the antagonist into making evil decisions.

Enjoy it for what it is. A cliched melodrama masquerading as science fiction. A throwback to the old days of radio. Secret decoder ring included.

Side note: the narrator is fine when she’s using her normal voice. When she tries to mimick the voices of her characters, they come across as cartoony and overdone. Extremely distracting. She’s attempting to perform, not narrate.
