Good story, but production is weird

Revisado: 04-02-25

I have enjoyed the series and like the individual and unique voices. The real issue is that the voices speak as if they are in an 80s porn. Soft, unnatural conversion. The speaker is either whispering in your ear or talking to you from the back of an empty tractor trailer.

Historical fiction peppered with some facts.

Revisado: 10-25-24

It was ok, but way too much opinion and speculation from the author. The narrator was one of the best doing audio books at the moment however.

Forgot this was even a Dirk Pitt book

Revisado: 08-17-24

Sadly, Cussler books have become so predictable and stale. While the 50s misogyny has softened the book is so bloated to provide background. I guess they get paid by pages.

Not really about Olivia Coleman.

Revisado: 08-02-24

I am not sure why this is the Olivia Coleman series. All she seems to do is cry, whine and wait for help from her brother and Diggs. This should be the Diggs series And seriously, what is up with the narrator? All of his voices are a mix of several accents and then there is Olivia's voice? Yikes.

I am also confused of why the state of Washington is included as they fly from Europe to DC? That is a tad out of the way.

Good story, Corny Narrator

Revisado: 05-29-24

My main complaint is the awkward narrator. Is he British? Stuffy New Englander? All of the women are mousy Valley Girls, some of the men have deep constipation. And when did the French citizen and researcher Madeleine lose her French accent and gain a Scots/Irish Valley Girl accent?

Weak Story, Bad Narrator

Revisado: 05-15-24

I havI have listened to each book so far but not sure about continuing. The story was very weak idea was good. I mean, hard to believe you call the president every five minutes while spending the rest of their time speaking in cliches. I will say this narrator is better than the original one. He gives all of the women a valley girl accent except for French born Madeleine who somehow had a Scots Irish accent.

The narrator is way too perky

Revisado: 04-26-24

I really wanted to follow this series despite a very basic storyline, but halfway through the second book, I am done. Most of the story is just friends hanging out and talking to an extremely excited president. Maybe if the narrator was different and it wasn't read like a Tony Robbins event I could have stuck with it.

Basic Story, Poor Performance

Revisado: 04-23-24

I was surprised for such a basic and often corny dialog from Child. Maybe it was the narrator who always put an overly cheesy voice on in greetings and interacting with others. Nobody is that enthusiastic and perky. Given the overly religious enthusiasm from Connie I hope it does grow in the upcoming works.

Interesting, but basic plot.

Revisado: 03-31-24

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series, it is a topic with many paths as the author noted. However, there are a few quirks that are annoying. The narrator is good, but he has a high saliva drive in his regular voice and even more pronounced in the different voices. I have never heard so many people in need of a spit. Then there are several basic inaccurate items names - it is the Resolute Desk, not Resolution. The desk was made from the HMS Resolute. It is the National Security Agency and not the National Security Administration. I imagine there are more I missed since it appears the author did limited research.

Is the narrator AI?

Revisado: 02-07-24

The story was good and part of an enjoyable series. However, the narrator is horrible for this. He would be perfect narrating rides at Disney. He is robotic and a speed reader making it impossible to identify the character speaking.
