Too many changes to the base story.

Revisado: 05-25-24

Normally I love audio plays, but this one was hard to get into. If you love Ender's Game/Shadow then stick to those audio books. This adaptation ads to much "stuff" that distracts from the story. I don't know if it's all Retcon from later Endervers books, but they add nothing and just distract the reader.

Great book, Great world building, odd accents

Revisado: 04-30-20

Just like Joust, this is a great story that I hold close to my heart, However I have to question the accent choices again, especially with this book and Accents are talked about in the text. ( mild spoilers a head) There is a specific scene where an Accadian healer is confronting a Magus, the narrator talks about the healer thickening his Accadian Accent to make Magus sound like Maggot. Is the Healer given and Accadian (modern day Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Syria) accent? NOPE Thick Scottish burl, the narrator doesn't even try to make Magus sound like Maggot. Also the pronunciation of the main character's name Kiron keeps changing and getting lazier and lazier, almost completely dropping the 'K'. This makes it a little hard to know who's talking as this book introduces a significant amount of new characters. I love these books, but i don't see the direction getting any better as we're 1/2 through the series and changing it all now would be even more jarring.

Great story.. weird direction on accents

Revisado: 04-30-20

I have been a fan of this series since it was first published, still have hardcover 1st editions. I love these books, and the narrator is skilled, but what the heck is up with his accent choices? The setting is clearly "Egyptian" but instead of going with a neutral broadcast accent, or middle eastern accent, he chose a mix of Scottish and English. I was ready to make my peace with it when it seamed that the Altan characters were voiced with mixes of English accents, and the Tian's mostly Scottish, but he didn't even stick to that. I've also noticed odd pronunciations of names. The main character Vetch's father Kiron I've always read as K EE ron, but the narrator reads it at Kur ron. Again, Great story, just weird direction in the acting.

Lovely quick dino reference

Revisado: 10-15-19

Dinosaurs for non Dino-nuts. Very approachable and very "lay-mans" book. I really like how it emphasizes that dinosaurs are still among us (as birds)

Lovely treatment of a classic

Revisado: 10-15-19

Really makes this classic approachable. The presentation was like listening to movie, characters were well versed, and the ambiance wasn't over powering.

more great world building

Revisado: 10-15-19

This book seams to focus more and more on other communities around the US and how they are coping with the Post Apocalyptic reality. The book hints at some of the mysteries surrounding the main commune but doesn't answer and hard questions.

Great addition to the series

Revisado: 10-15-19

A strong second book. Introducing characters alluded to in the 1st book. This also starts to paint the rest of the world making the story not exclusively about one lone bastion of survival, but the rest of the world trying to get back together.

Great entry into the "post acpocoliptic" genera

Revisado: 10-15-19

I really loved the take on this particular apocalypses. No Zombies, no Nukes, but a very believable end to civilization. Well written characters with a unique narrative method,

fun adventure in the Skippy-verse.

Revisado: 08-10-19

this wad a nice, well paced adventure in the Skippy-verse. good audio drama and a very talented cast. there were times the vocals got a little buried in the ambiance, but it made sense due to the battle. A lot of folk have complained about the music, consider the narrator.

Great start to an indepth and plausible SciFi.

Revisado: 11-13-17

I absolutely love this series. It's got great suspense, believable technology, and a lack of Humanity = Mary-Sue hand waving.

I'd list my favorite scene but hate when there are spoilers in a review. However, watching the character Niel develop and change over the course of the series shows amazing subtly and skill on the part of Mr. Moss.

R.C Bray does another masterful performance with unique voices for all the characters and great depth of meaning.
