This missed the mark for me. It rambled a lot and I found my mind wandering...not following the characters and their motivations. The story is too convoluted and kind of zig zags all over the place. Sadly, I kept checking to see how much longer the story was and wanted it to tie up and end with a bang-but no. Some of the performance was a bit over the top too. TGR used to be my favorite performer but it seems his range of voicing has shortened and a few character's voices were quite grating to me. Too bad because I have already bought book 2. I can only hope it gets better...

Why oh why didn't I listen to the reviewers that actually gave this an honest evaluation instead of the fandom gushers?? Terrible, just terrible. I am still slogging through, at chapter 13, with 14 (!!) hours left to go. Ugh! Stick a needle in my eye, I just dont think I can go on. Normally, TGR can make even a mediocre book very good given his excellent narration and performing capabilities, but this is just bad...quality wise. Poor audio including fluctuations and jarring insertions of obvious re-recorded parts. As others stated, it sounds like it was phoned in, not edited well nor polished.
The story has become monotonous, repetitive and campy. New worlds have been built supposedly to thrill and tintilate the reader but they are silly and just a device of the author. Cut through the fat, the verbose and the nonsensical scenes and we might have a tighter, more engaging novel. Not this thing. This series started to dive at book 5, and has to be put out of its (our) misery. Sorry EWR, but the lipstick on this pig is just a smeared mess.

Gosh, this one was just thick. The author has gotten far too obtuse and spacey-timey with the theoretical and futuristic world building in this series. I found it hard to enjoy what could have been a very good continuation of the trials and tribulations in the Bobiverse. Such a disappointment, and I found my mind wandering off. I scratched my head too much wondering what the heck D E Taylor was talking about and why he had to be so astrophysical /technical. He sounded like he wanted to impress the scientific community. There are so many Bob/Bill/Howard/Skippy… etc sequences being told that are too slow in connecting a cohesive plot that it just got frustrating. And unfortunately, Ray Porter does not have his usual extraordinary range of voicing for the various Bobs that it proves to be an added struggle to follow the timelines. Sigh!

This could’ve been a much better story if the editor had cut out a lot of the minutia and detail about the daily goings on of this poor mother’s miserable existence within a toxic household. Had to do a lot of fast forwarding. Ending was a nice twist and made it a relativelyenjoyable novel.

Very good high-tech conspiracy novel up to Eisler’s typical standards. One nitpick is Barry’s narration for this book is not up to his usual performance abilities . He drops his voice down far too much in too many places so that the reader is turning up the volume constantly. He needs to maintain an appropriate volume and inflection for the whole novel, even if he is at a point where the character is whispering. Other than that, great novel and I will eagerly continue reading his stories. I do recommend this.

This was definitely meant for a younger reader. I expected something a bit more online with his earlier science fiction novels. Just not for me.

Just couldn’t get into the characters . There was too much internal thought and disjointed flow between the characters. I was a bit bored and wanted to reach the end. Kind of far fetched ending but I suppose it was a decent twist.

Not bad not great, just had more potential than it lived up to. Too much exposition. Excruciating elaboration of detail that could have been avoided and made the story tempo and flow better. Good, unobtrusive sound effects added positively to the telling. Narrator adequate and easy to listen to, but sounded like he had marbles in his mouth at times.

Full disclosure, this was a DNF for me. I made it 3 1/2 hours and just couldn’t stand the immature and stilted dialogue. Seems like this was written by AI, and not worth my time- imagine 85 hours of this drivel. The cartoon character delivery by the narrator, doesn’t help things either. Hard pass on this one!

Fast paced and unique. Demons from hell, the devil, angels, and PTSD - who else could write a great novel that could easily intertwine such craziness? Gets a bit gory in parts, but that’s Jeremy. A lot of fun, and definitely leads to a follow up series. RC Bray is just the man!
