Enjoyable & Redundant “Threshold” Installment

Revisado: 08-02-23

I love Ray Porter’s performance (who doesn’t…) & Peter Cline’s writing is a perfect mix of humor/horror/intelligent stylism, but he kind of missed the mark on an “original” novel in this series. I’ve not read/listened to “Dead Moon,” and not sure I will. I ran through this audiobook after listening to “14” (I thought it was ok at first, but then it stuck with me especially when I heard this one, elevating it just from pure-comparison). I have to agree with one reviewer summing it up as “character reactivity” storytelling, I didn’t get a sense of who these people were, and only cared for Veek — again, a result of having heard “14” just before — but the character-development otherwise was pretty absent here. Except for Murdoch, I actually liked the poor villain, but again this wasn’t a real novel to me, just a “threshold got crossed again! time to patch it up!” situation. I still really enjoyed it, but don’t expect anything remarkable beyond that “summer reading” level, or your expectations are likely to be dashed. Would listen again if I could go back in time, but wouldn’t start with this one in Threshold Universe. I actually really would say Paradox Bound should be in this line-up, faceless men are actually more intriguing and delightfully disgusting than random quid-monsters with hoover-tentacles, lol. Not a hater at all, just lending perspective. I’d really recommend “The Dark” by Jeremy Robinson, if you like this kind of wit & more ridiculousness! Enjoy ;)

Love this cast & performance! Need more in my life

Revisado: 06-24-23

I’m here for the performers. Those two are probably tired of hearing it this as a “pair,” but each line from Chastain & Shannon is my jam. Equal talents across the board, just saying. Excellent production-value, story’s good- set in perfect “work from home,” style I could flit between pauses with work & well- it just makes my day brighter. So that's rlly all I'll say, if a title brightens my day, it's a good-one.

"The Space Within" skates through a psychiatrist's point-of-view (love that), as an emergent alien/sci-fi story interweaves wither own "human" struggles..I won't give much away, it's excellent & intellectual to a point of not taking itself too seriously, ya know?

In any case, I went through all episodes in ~2 shifts of work (don't judge, if it was a day off I would've listened in "one-play"). I couldn't help it! Performance literally "grabs you," and then leaves you wanting more...no, "CRAVING," more. Trust me, hit "follow" & get ready for a refreshing & exhilarating ride.

If this isn't enough to convince you: Look at the CAST & if you like their work, you’ll like this podcast guaranteed. I need this in my life, so please ... S02 much appreciated, in advance! enjoy ;)

Bit light on substance. High in show-factor.

I’d say for sheer lack of better words, I chose this novel along the sci-fi genre. Specifically on audible, listening again to an incredible dynamic illustration from Ray Porter, not exactly buying into nor satisfied with plot. Heavy use of time for a very road well-travelled sci-fi plot, in which eventual outcomes are nearly transparent by hour 5…. Of 15.. I heard it out because I paid for it. Search for ray porter’s other performances.
