Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 320
Howard Falcon almost lost his life in an accident as the first human astronaut to explore the atmosphere of Jupiter - and a combination of human ingenuity and technical expertise brought him back. But he is no longer himself. Instead he has been changed into an augmented human: part man, part machine, and exceptionally capable.

Ruined by narration
Revisado: 06-10-22
I'm a big fan of both Baxter and Reynolds, but I'm giving up after less than an hour due to the awful, awful narration.

ANOTHER book ruined by bad narration
Revisado: 02-20-13
I will never again buy an audiobook produced by Audible. This is the second one I've purchased with a distractingly terrible narrator. His frequent mispronunciations, awkward cadence, and obvious lack of interest in the material made it unlistenable. This did not sound like a professionally produced audiobook. I will be requesting a credit refund (again).

The worst-read audiobook I've ever listened to.

What would have made How Old Is the Universe? better?
A different reader
Has How Old Is the Universe? turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, but I will think twice about buying anything else published by Audible
How did the narrator detract from the book?
This has been an extremely frustrating book to listen to. The narrator's cadence is EXTREMELY unnatural. He sounds like he has to pause to flip a page in the middle of a sentence — EVERY sentence. I truly believe a computer would have done a better job of narrating this book.
Any additional comments?
I've listened to dozens of audiobooks over the past 12 years, and this was the worst performance I've ever endured.
