Very interesting story

Revisado: 01-23-18

It's a really interesting story overall. I downloaded in parts and there was a weird glitch where the app skipped to the wrong part, so maybe look up the table of contents online if you're doing multi-part download and just make sure it skips you to the correct one.

On Mars there isn't much gravity

On Mars there isn't much gravity, so when you get on the emotional roller-coaster, you have to be careful not to fly off

Maybe the best yet in the series

Revisado: 07-18-17

An excellent continuation of the Expanse story. The only downside is that now I have to wait for the next one.

A good story, badly narrated

Revisado: 08-15-16

The change of narrator really made this a difficult book to get through. I probably wouldn't have stuck with if not for the knowledge that the next book goes returns to the previous narrator.

I wouldn't say that this book's narrator is inherently bad, but he did not seem to understand the characters who he was portraying. For example, Miller is made to sound like a robot, and his narration of Avasarala's lines is beyond awful.

The narration which just involves telling the story is fine, but this book is dialogue heavy, and as such the majority of the narration is quite jarring to listen to.

If you're invested in the series, there's still a good story here, so if you can handle the narration definitely still give it a listen...

Good story, great performance

Revisado: 04-29-16

The story, while entertaining, will be very familiar territory for Alien fans. It is the quality of the performances and production which elevates what would otherwise be a decent but forgettable story to a very enjoyable and engaging listening experience.

cliche in parts but exciting and action packed

Revisado: 01-28-15

What did you love best about Dust World?

Like the first book in the Undying Mercenaries series, Dust World is exciting and action packed. A rich an imaginative scifi setting is well established early on and the story plays out like an enjoyable action movie. The sort of book that you'll enjoy if you like films such as Starship Troopers and other scifi action.

What did you like best about this story?

The exciting pace and the scifi setting

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

As a 12 or so hour book, it is not something that I would listen to in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

The book plays like a B-grade scifi film.Fun, enjoyable and exciting, but at times difficult to take seriously.James McGill is largely an enjoyable protagonist but the series treats women as props and employs many other scifi cliches which become grating after a while.While Larson does not reinvent the scifi genre, but the worlds which he establishes and the stories he tells are enjoyable and exciting.Treat this like a Friday night action film, try not to think too hard about some of the more nuanced aspects of the story and go along for the ride and you'll enjoy it.
