One of the better works of the series

Revisado: 12-25-24

A true puzzle. Touching and heartfelt moments between the characters. Nice, subtle 'call backs' to earlier stories. Really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

so disappointed

Revisado: 12-20-24

I totally enjoyed his earlier books, I thought they were masterpieces of suspense.

Across the whole series, the author have been teasing the mystery behind the incident in which Carl's partner was paralyzed in an ambush. I think this book was envisioned as the unfolding of the story of that incident. The big reveal.

However, the story itself was long, drawn out, involved so many characters, and became so convoluted, it was ridiculous. The landscape was littered with bodies. Toward the end, I just listened to the narration as a way to go to sleep. I no longer cared about the outcome. There are a few bright spots, but all in all, I was very disappointed.

Author / performance

Revisado: 06-15-24

Generally, I avoid books that are read by the author. Not everyone has the skill to perform a reading. I'm amazed that Tchaikovsky narrated his own book. He was brilliant! perfect! The story was slow to start, but had a modestly satisfying ending. I might listen to it again down the road, just to pick up more nuances.

No spoilers, but you may find yourself muttering, "Uncharles....nooo".

Such a great wrap. I could wish for more, but this ends perfectly. Bravo. Narration was sublime.

Narrator is remarkable.

Revisado: 01-09-23

Story is convoluted and pretty grim in some places, but it's a serviceable story.

Exceptional

I thought the first two books in the series were wonderful. The narrator is supreme and the story are engaging. but this third novel, was just brilliant.

Love Scooter

Revisado: 03-18-22

Scooter is a combination of Mr. Kimball from that funny old show, _Green Acres_ (search 'Mr. Kimball' on YouTube - you'll thank me) and Jimmy Stewart. He is kind, clever, and quick-witted.

Yes, his show has ads, but don't let that stop you. Just listen through at least 2 or 3 shows and you will make it part of your sleep routine.

Best of the series so far

Revisado: 08-16-21

Poignant but not sappy. Slower pace than others in the series, but appropriately so. Highly recommended.

Gary is a narrator too!

Revisado: 05-20-21

I searched out this audiobook after reading Gary's book about his walk on the AT called, Where's The Next Shelter?. I was really taken with his humor, adventures, and connection to nature and people. I enjoyed listening to this book, while out on my own short walks. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Gary makes as good a narrator as he does a writer. I highly recommend this.

This is a must experience book

Revisado: 05-07-21

It’s super science-geeky as you might expect. If you find that boring (no judgement), you can just let that part slide over, the story is SO worth it.

DON’T READ any reviews at all. I avoided them and I was glad because the NYT review had (what I consider) a big spoiler in it (although clearly the reviewer didn’t think it was a spoiler).

I believe *audio* is the best format for this book for reasons you’ll see when you get a couple hours into it. The narrator is Ray Porter too, who is awesome.

Now that I've experienced the audio version, I'm getting the Kindle version too. Audio first, trust me on this.
