Fantastic

Revisado: 07-03-23

This was fantastic, absolutely in the top 10% of the hundreds of titles in my library. Podnay's content and her narration brought this topic into life vividly. I'm so glad I chose to listen to this title.

ok

Revisado: 04-18-23

This is less a story about something and more a textual rendering of emotion, which is fine, but not so much my thing.

Good Book, Good Narrator, and MAJOR flaw

Revisado: 03-05-23

I like this story. The writing isn't perfect (many consecutive sentences ending with the same word), but it is fun and mostly believable. I particularly like that the premise is not the common EMP/Virus variety -- that was very creative.

My main beef with this book is not with volume 1, but with volume 2. They switched narrators! What.a rookie move -- NEVER switch narrators. If I had paid attention, I would not have bought volume 1 solely because of the narrator switch in vol 2, and I returned volume 2 after about a ten second listen. New narrator, no deal.

Authors: it's actually a lot of work having to learn each character's voice as assigned by the narrator, and when the narrator changes, the characters themselves are wholly different. It's incredibly confusing -- like coming home and finding your spouse has been switched with a different person who looks different, acts different, and sounds different, but strangely, has all the memories of your original spouse. That might make a sci-fi story premise, but when you do this damage to your own series, you're just limiting your market. Honestly, unless the first narrator has literally died, there's no excuse to switch, and if he had died, you might as well just start over and have one new narrator redo the whole thing. Anyway, I won't be buying more of this series.

BORING and if you loved Commune1-4, INSULTING

Revisado: 03-05-23

This is NOT Commune 1-4, each of which I've listened to multiple time. I don't understand how this title has a 4.4 overall rating. It is excruciating with paper cutout characters, repetitive text, and annoying Dude-Bro dialogue. Toward the last quarter, I started skipping ahead in 10-15 minute blocks, listening for a minute, then leaping ahead again. In that way I was able to learn how it ended without the audible equivalent of being waterboarded. Seriously, this book is so bad, it's almost a crime against humanity.

RC Bray's narration is great as always, but he should sue the author for wasting his time. Literally nothing, not even a rock star narrator, can make this book worth listening to.

ABRIDGED

Revisado: 08-28-21

In the last minute of the recording you learn it was ABRIDGED. I would have never. ought this had I known. sure wish I had scrolled down to the comments.

Who thought thus needed abridging? books 30+ hours long are common. Few are less than 8 hours. This at three hours and abridged .... what a rip. It's like the author channeled his past into this production.

Space Western

Revisado: 04-10-19

Ever since Firefly was prematurely canceled, I have missed the space western genre. This was one of the most enjoyable listens I've had -- believable action, strong plot, likable characters, and the humorous musings of a non-cowboy sidekick (who is really the main character). Just the right amount grit.

The narrator is great too. He puts real life into the characters and really hits the funny spots with perfection. I'm going to see what else he's done for my next credit.

Anyway, this is a great pick, one you'll listen to more than one time "fer sure."

Nothing Happened

Revisado: 02-03-19

Basically nothing happened. It was like a 34 hour coda with repetition of plots from previous books. There was so much to work with and yet the story went nowhere, did nothing, and retold much. Such a shame to end this way.

Outstanding Ending

Revisado: 02-11-18

Listening to this series has been a complete joy. Thorensen is a great story teller -- the world he created, the characters, and the action he put them through are just perfect. Put me on the mailing list, because I want to get whatever he does next.

Jonathan Davis is a top tier narrator -- if he was a rock star, he'd be [insert your favorite]. Coupling an excellent author with an excellent narrator, creates an experience that is completely transportive -- so much so I'm going to listen again immediately.
