Clippy the Magnificent

Need an ECO spinoff

Revisado: 12-24-22

RC Bray is excellent as always. Story wraps up some threads but feels a little incomplete IMO.

Can’t believe I’ve made it through all the books. Given the length may need to restart as I’ve forgotten a lot of the early stuff

The authors never imagined writing a second book..

Revisado: 08-06-21

If this were fiction, it would be unbelievable that someone so unsuited for the role of president was elected, let alone remained in office. But it happened, and the details were even horrifying than realized.

Skip this one.

Revisado: 06-21-21

There was some good setup and characters like Emily Perkins, Nert Dandurff, Surgun Jates, Captain Scorandum, and hilarious ship names like "Rock-Solid And Suspiciously Convenient Alibi". The Jeraptha and Verd-kris have a lot of potential entertainment value. Unfortunately, it got bogged down in the middle with 15-20 chapters of super-tedious space battle minutiae that I found it hard to care about. At some point, I started skipping chapters to get out of the slog.

More cosmos, less religion

Revisado: 11-27-20

I think I would enjoy the erudite and charismatic NdGT narrating my grocery list or answering machine message. What didn't work for me, which is, probably, a reflection of the letters he receives on the subject, was the volume of religious and afterlife questions. At some point, I was skipping through these hoping to get to more cosmological or astronomical content. Still worth a listen.

Potential not met

Revisado: 10-24-19

I have enjoyed the Expedition Day series and its spinoff Mavericks, so naturally I’d expect a full cast audio drama with amazing actors should be great, right?

As much as I tried liking it the presentation was difficult and I ultimately gave up. The background effects and (especially) music are too overwhelming- I found it difficult to hear to characters. This, combined with the jumping around (like the other books) were too much and I had to return it.

Interesting characters and RC Bray = fun

Revisado: 10-20-19

I loved the Expeditionary Force series and enjoyed the Joe-Skippy-deus ex machina formula for the first four books. But as it stretched to book eight (nine?), it's gotten very tiresome, especially the last couple... meh. I'd be done, except for occasionally brilliant interludes like the Mister Nukey chapter -- (kiss noise).

I took a chance on this one as a spin-off as it gives the author a canvas for doing what he does very well - creating interesting characters and letting them run around and get out of situations. There are spots where it gets bogged down ("Hey, we discovered A THING!" then a few chapters elapse before explanation on its significance), and the galactic polities and duplicity was somewhat confusing -- so I may need to go back and relisten to a few transitions -- there fun (e.g., Surgun Jates, Nert Dander, and the Kristang former-Admiral-whose-name-I-cannot-recall) to keep me engaged. I'm looking forward to the subsequent episodes.

Of course, the narrator, R.C. Bray, is so talented, he could perform my grocery list and it would be amazeballs.

Exceptionally well-done true crime drama

Revisado: 10-20-19

This is not the genre I'd normally purchase, and had it not been for it appearing as a book of the day, might not have noticed it, but I took a chance and was glad I did. The use of real participants in the event narrating was powerful as it conveyed the frustrations and fears that transpired. It's exceptionally well-done.

Another great series by Dr Benaroch

Revisado: 07-09-19

I’m a huge fan of Dr Benaroch’s Grand Rounds courses and was giddy when I saw he had another set out, especially on taking a rational view of medicine in the media. Like the other titles it is a very approachable and informational series of lectures using real works examples and current trends. Very valuable and with Dr Benaroch’s excellent presentation is highly recommended. .

Informative and fun

Revisado: 06-04-18

Very compelling text with an excellent performance by Ms Zackman, who captures the parenthetical asides and tone exceptionally well.

Great narration & interesting characters

Revisado: 05-16-18

Really enjoyed the story and, especially, the narration that helped make it come to life. The only minor detraction from this was the background music added near the end of the chapter.
