Good first half and then rubbish

Revisado: 01-18-25

What the hell was this? The first half was excellent in the same vein as the first book THEN everything changed except for the characters. Out of the blue it became a science fiction story but quite incredulous. I stopped listening with 6 hours to go. There was absolutely no continuity from the first half to the second half. Cloaked missiles, cloaked submarine, spores from out of space, time travel etc etc. It was like he ran out of ideas and gave it to someone else to finish!

Just brilliant

Revisado: 06-11-24

I could not do justice to any review. The writing, the story and the narration were just the best.

Repetitive

Revisado: 02-26-24

Usually like Ben Elton’s books. This one has a gender/sex theme repeated ad nauseam. Could only listen to the first two to three hours.

Interesting but…..

Revisado: 09-29-23

Not a lot of action. If Readers Digest did an abridged version there would not be a lot left of the book! I found it a bit disappointing. Narrator very good as always.

I stopped well short of finishing

Revisado: 02-17-23

Stopped a quarter through. Up till then I found it quite good if a little repetitive. Then lost interest. What happened to the man from taured and the other guy who lost his wife in the store?
Narrator was average. Perhaps another narrator could have improved things.

Could not complete

Revisado: 03-23-22

Putting aside the narrator’s annoying voice, I was enjoying the book till around chapter 21 when it all got a bit silly when the immortals and their rules entered the plot. Couldn’t listen anymore.

Good book, great narration

Revisado: 04-29-21

Rupert Degas does a brilliant narration with an incredible array of voices and accents adding another dimension to an interesting story about a realistic demise of our present civilisation initiated by China.

Zombies in Sith Ifrica

Revisado: 02-27-21

A series of unrelated short stories cobbled together to form a passable novella, narration was good

Nowhere near as good as The Last Survivors

Revisado: 02-21-21

Having listened to the last survivors and enjoyed it, I was hoping for this sort of prequel to also be good. Instead I turned off after 2 hours. The constant ranting and raving by the main character was excessive, as was the need to have to define what words and terms meant for the benefit of the evolved intelligent bees that were going to read his diary a million years hence. Also the constant use of shroomheads and other similar descriptions became very wearing.

Can be frustrating

Revisado: 02-17-21

If you enjoy books where you find you are shouting ‘ no don’t go there’ ,’no don’t touch that’, ‘no, no, no’........then this book is for you. I personally became so frustrated with the idiocy of everyone’s actions I nearly came close to giving up.
