A favorite series that continues to build in depth

Revisado: 03-07-23

The story is seriously enjoyable to follow and continual character development endears it to the reader. The narrator is balanced and does a variety of voices/accents well. I appreciate that the content is clean (other than a lot of swearing).

My teens and I listened again to the first three in the series before starting this audiobook. This really helped as we followed the flow of the story, however relistening to the series isn’t necessary to enjoy this book. A listener may have to overlook a few references or tie ins, if it’s been a couple years since reading the previous books. The general plot is building, but the main story in the book is unique, and so can be followed well enough to enjoy it. There are some reminders of people and events that the authors have included throughout the book. But really, there’s insufficient time for a total “refresh” of the story -and honestly too much refresh would be frustrating to readers who are tracking already.

Highly recommended. We are anticipating the next, A Call to … , in the series! A definite favorite in our audio library!

Narrator made the story mor engaging

Revisado: 01-16-23

I picked the physical book up a few years ago and put it down because it was difficult for me to get into the story. Recently, after hearing rave reviews of the saga, I tried the audio version. It was an excellent decision.
Two things of note concerning the audio:
1. (Narration) The author narrates and does a fabulous job of making the humor come off as intended, as well as creating strikingly, endearing characters. I like the way he doesn’t overdo female voices. His characters’ voicing is unique & easy to distinguish one character from another.
2.(Writing Style) The beginning sets the stage, and the style of writing changes a bit as the story progresses. I enjoyed this story immensely and am looking forward to continuing the series.

Seriously! What an ending….

Revisado: 01-03-22

As the conclusion approached, I wondered how Zahn was going to write an ending to this long story. Ha! Bravo…and encore!
And of course Marc Thompson is the true star of the show. Take a bow! I still miss the original Thrawn voicing though.

Crude Humor Got in the Way of Story

Revisado: 11-13-21

Didn't even want to finish the book because of the crude humor. It really detracted from the story. Disappointed.

Worth a second read!

Revisado: 03-16-20

Zahn is getting really good at closing a book to a satisfying end, while making the reader impatient for the next book. Well played. Looking forward to seeing how he wraps up this trilogy.

Caution: Like potato chips, you can’t just stop at one.

Revisado: 03-12-20

This is possibly the best book in the series yet! Zahn is definitely a seasoned author by this point. But I would definitely recommend reading/listening to the earlier books in the series first- and in order. There are characters that you get to know throughout the books, including their actions/history. To jump in mid-stream may be hard to follow. Zahn’s character development is a strength, and also his ability to flip the story in a very realistic way. I like the narrator.

Nice ending...and next beginning

Revisado: 03-10-20

No spoilers. As I was listening to this book, I was thinking how much I enjoyed following a family storyline. We are now into the third generation. Very interesting read. Only down side (which is a bit of an up): I found it difficult to sometimes follow all the different storylines that Zahn was threading together. But that will make for an interesting second time around read. On to the next Cobra Trilogy.

The books keep getting better!

Revisado: 03-07-20

Glad I don’t have to wait for the next in series. Also, the narrator seems to be getting comfortable in the roll. I like listening to the balance he strikes in reading with both ease of listening and expression.

Best one yet!

Revisado: 03-04-20

Very intriguing plot line. Looking forward to the next in series! I can see the growth in Zahn, as a writer, between the gap years of the first three and this book! Still... the back story of the first trilogy really brought depth to this book.
