Short, simple, and predictable

Revisado: 03-06-25

The story seems rushed and very predictable. No sub plots and plot characters are well developed. It's a lot like a TV series.

Very interesting story

Revisado: 01-27-23

The story is very interesting and seems to be realistic. I'm not going to continue reading the series for the following reasons:

1. The author doesn't develop a lot of subplots.
2. The character development isn't very deep.
3. There is a heavy religious overtone that isn't anchored to a motive within the story. Feels like lecturing.
4. Sometimes the characters don't react appropriately given their age, experiences, capabilities, etc.

However, the story is good and the narration is great. For these stories that are representing a real-world techno thriller like this one I always compare it to the book "One Second After" which is extremely well written. This box set isn't nearly as good as that series. Its not bad though.

This is really a great story and a great narrator.

Revisado: 06-04-19

This is sci fi done perfectly. The story is believable and strikes a really good balance between real science and fiction.

I couldn't make it to the end...!

Revisado: 07-30-18

The narrator is great. This book has a very interesting main plot but its not put together well. The extremely smart characters don't behave that way, most are underdeveloped, and there are many (many-many) parts of the story that are very thin. Often times the story is held together with magic. I have to believe this book wasn't a NY Times best seller, but rather the author has written another book that is a NY Times best seller.

Great story and writing style - perfect narration

Revisado: 04-18-18

This author is really good. Characters are well developed and believable. The plot is realistic and all the sub plots have just the right amount of detail to pull everything back together.The narrator is perfect for this story. I thought the end of the story missed more than one opportunity for plot thickening but it was still great.

Story telling was really thin

Revisado: 04-11-18

Plot was okay, theme was okay, but story telling was too thin for me. Much like the moniker "The Gray Man" the author labels many other aspects of the story and after a few times the practice becomes really cheesy. Many characters and subplots of the story are cliche. I think the narrator did a pretty good job.

The narrator is awesome, one of my fav's, and he makes this good story great. I like the story a lot. I also like the story telling approach. Its unusual and refreshing.

This one was incomplete..

Revisado: 09-28-17

Big fan of the series but this one was incomplete, rushed, not what I'm used to out of the series or the characters. New characters not developed well enough. Old characters not acting like themselves. Mitch acting like a dummy. It was too short and shallow.

Why is Marcus running comms on an op? Its silly. Why would every single body guard run headlong in to withering machine gun fire in a public parking lot? Stupid. Why would the worlds best secret agent, key word being secret, suddenly do a 100 things he would never have done before, all of which blow his cover? argh.....

REALLY, really, good Scifi

Revisado: 07-18-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Pandora's Star to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Paula Mio, I can't remember another author creating a character like Mio. Unique, interesting, and key to the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not sure

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

I'm not really a huge Sci Fi fan. I get sick of trying to keep track of the weird made up names for everything and sometimes the stories aren't anchored in something resembling reality. I get bored. This book starts out really slow as the author develops the story and dozens of important characters but didn't drowned me in babble or nonsense. The story is really unique and written really well. Great characters, multiple parallel plot lines, subplots, conflict, and its all very realistic. Its a lot of fun to read-listen to. The narrator is good.
