A good Read

Revisado: 08-13-24

I thought the magic systems was interesting and the worldbuilding intriguing.
A great narrator always helps and I thought this one did a great job bringing the right nuance to the story.

The only reason it is not 5 stars in the 'young read' type of dialog. Yes, they are young people and yes, they are sometimes sappy and melodramatic but it was a bit overdone on some places.

Looking forward to the next installment

I like the storyline, but I could do without the repetition

Revisado: 06-09-24

I get it. The author thinks the world is a mess and every established institution sucks.
Name some me in that position
But I don’t need to hear it 47 times while he’s relating the story

I like the premise of the books
I like the stories
I think the narrator is top-notch

I hope you write more. I just go easy on the morality lessons.

Not the best narrator, a reasonable tale

Revisado: 03-07-24

Didn’t really care for the narrator
He was somewhat monotone and made everything come out a bit whiny when he should’ve been giving emotion.

Story itself is not as strong as Cartwright Cavaliers, but interesting nonetheless

Some reason the author felt he needed to kill off any interesting characters

Felt like a ‘filler’ book

Felt like a ‘filler’ book
The end was an ‘insert f****ing magic’ here
Series may have run it course

Interesting story, odd performance

Revisado: 05-18-18

I enjoyed the story, it was hard to follow at times due to blending scenes/chapters/event changes.
I have listened to this performer before and not had this issue. It kept me backtracking on parts to make sense of things.

Getting Repetative

Revisado: 02-12-18

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I really enjoy these books but the author has to build some additional & unique plot lines into the stories.

This book suffered from 1) impossible situation 2) stupid monkeys/etc 3) sad moments/introspection 4) stupid monkey idea 5) fabricated supertech fix. Repeat for 10 hour narrative.

I like the characters, I think the narrator is perfect for the material but the author needs to stretch and present a better storyline. I WANT him to do better.

Another like this and I wont bother to buy/read the next.

Would you ever listen to anything by Craig Alanson again?

yes

Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Good

Was Zero Hour worth the listening time?

Meh

Any additional comments?

Awesome opportunity to do some great things with this universe and cast of characters.

A short story stretched too thin

Revisado: 04-16-17

What disappointed you about Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen?

LMB is a gifted writer. One that can make paint drying interesting. This at best is a short story. If feels stretched. Lightly interesting and a chance to visit the characters as old friends but nothing particularly new or interesting.

Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He was the one high point in this audio book, his performance carried the lighter material.the

What character would you cut from Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen?

Cetaganden storyline really went nowhere

Any additional comments?

An interesting universe, populated with interesting characters. This would have been better shorter maybe combined with other short stories into a compilation.

Good Story, good performance

Where does Warship rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Solid story, reasonable plot. Not one of the greats but a good story

Making use of what they had. No magic 'and then they engaged the inter-dimensional zap ray'

Which character – as performed by Mark Boyett – was your favorite?

Wolfe: but I confess to having a hard time forgetting I wasnt listen to the BV Larson books that Boyett did.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Better than I had dared hope

Revisado: 07-30-16

I knew this was one of my favorite stories but the incredible performance brought new life to the tale.

Like meeting a loved one after a long absence and finding them better than you possibly could imagine.
