where was the editor?

Revisado: 09-29-23

The description was so good, the execution was not. Unlikeable characters, extreme and pointless repetition, terrible science, boring. So bad it made me angry.

unlistenable

Revisado: 06-13-23

There is nothing relaxing or helpful here; in fact it will make you more angry. The imagery section is so fraught with "you might be here, or you might be here or here or here ...maybe you hear this...or that, maybe you feel grass, or sand, or pine needles, or wind!" There is so much jumping around every 10 seconds you can't imagine that you are anywhere and can't relax at all. It's ridiculous, and Audible won't let me return it even though I would rather vomit than listen to any more of this clearly unprofessional product.

good story crazy narration

Revisado: 04-24-22

odd to have different narration format seemingly at random. Sometimes Simon Vance does all the voices and sometimes Scott Brock and sometmes a cast dramatization. bizarre.

not enjoyable at all

Revisado: 01-09-20

I can't finish this. I've enjoyed many a book by this author but this story is so trite and annoying. The narration although not horrible is so annoying for one particular character that it's impossible to listen without wanting to plug your ears

great protagonist and great narration

Revisado: 01-04-20

I like this author and I'm eagerly awaiting book 3. I'll give the same review here that I gave for PlanetSide. The book is very similar in structure and story but I just enjoy the hell out of spending time with this character.

Our main character is very likeable and you will enjoy spending time listening to him tell his tale; he's respectable and the author writes him intelligently. I like the diversity of characters and the respect with which people from all backgrounds and genders are treated. Nothing sexist in this book but still macho as hell and wonderful! The dialogue is well written and seems realistic with believable responses and interactions. The characters behave rationally and realistically in the situations they are found in.

The action scenes and battle scenes are very realistic and are described in a way that keeps you highly engaged. You will care about this character and what happens to him. The underlying mystery is a nice solid little story. Here we have a military sci-fi author who treats the reader with respect. Well done!

The narration is spot-on and adds to the likeability and humanness of this character.

not engaging. poor narration choice

Revisado: 01-03-20

it's so strange to hear this kind of story read by somebody with an upbeat, chipper and happy voice. The story would have felt more dramatic and more serious in better hands.

Unlikable protagonist with ZERO detective skills

Revisado: 01-03-20

Most of the dialogue seems pretty sophomoric. I think it would have been better served with a different narrator. the dialogue could have been made to seem and sound more natural in better hands. The narrator sounds more like he should be narrating a young adult fiction book. His narration is oddly chipper and upbeat for the storyline. All the characters sound a little bit odd because in these situations they wouldn't have a happy lilt to their voices.

okay, I also have to add that as I've progressed further into the book this is the most idiotic Detective I've ever heard of. He seems to not know what he's doing at every turn yet he's supposed to be experienced. He shows up unprepared, he has no discernible knowledge or skill set, he scares away clients, he doesn't have rudimentary internet skills... at least he bothers to spell out for us that he knows that he better not break into a house because that might actually be legal. ya think? This guy does not know how to write a detective and if you have any brains you'll be disappointed... there's no detective story here.

I really tried but I can't finish it. Returning this one.

Not as good as Seasick

Revisado: 10-22-19

okay, well this was pretty much your standard zombie action of characters getting from point A to point B and then having to deal with each other along the way. Unlike Seasick, in this book there is no overarching mystery it's just kind of boring really. the characters aren't really very interesting. It's okay for what it is. I was expecting a little something more after having read Seasick. The narrator was quite good.

An engaging listen

Revisado: 10-20-19

this was a fun one. Although I'm not a fan of the ending I did appreciate some of the twists and turns and was never bored. The main character behaves in a believable way and the action is never boring. I found the narrator to be so good that I ordered several other books narrated by him.
