Wolf

First 19 hrs kept putting me to sleep

Revisado: 12-10-21

The story being a bit too abstract for me during the first 19 hours of the book, it kept putting me to sleep: I guess 'The Dreamer' from the story somewhat became reality. I couldn't follow the story and was close to stop listening, but I wanted to know how the whole series ends. In the end the last hour or so kept me awake, but I have to say I couldn't really understand what the authors were trying to say. I also noticed lots of unnecessary cussing. Nothing like the earlier books.

Too new agey for my taste

Revisado: 04-20-21

The story had a few 'convenient' twists that were a bit far fetched even for this story, like there's a portal that transports a scientist from one end of the galaxy to another, but the portal happens the stay open so that a villain was able to follow through the same portal, then the portal is used to whisk our hero far far away. When the hero wants to get back home he can't use a 'portal' to get back home for whatever reason. However, the story was a good read for the most part until the 'meditation' started and the hero imagined a bubble filled with stress and bad feelings ... sorry that did it for me.

Is this a different author?

Revisado: 06-10-20

I was really looking forward to reading this book especially having extra time due to the Wuhan virus. I read the whole series and loved all books, some a bit more, some a bit less - but i loved them all. I even recommended the series to many friends. So this book was nearly 20 hours long - i knew this would be a treat! I couldn't wait to join Bishop and Skippy and their adventures and here's what I experienced: R.C. Bray was awesome as always, Unfortunately the characters i loved so much in the previous books, had changed to a bland copy of their past. For example: Skippy's funny character is now just dull and annoying in this book, and Bishop's character has been reduced to some copied and pasted snippets from previous books, anything new with Bishop's character was bland and not memorable. As far as the story goes it was a long walk through sticky sludge and i actually started to forget to pick up the book again after I put it down. I have to admit that in the past i have sometimes spent a whole weekend to finish a book, but I didn't rush to get back to this book. Sure enough picking it back up ended up being a big mistake because the story's end is a pure disaster, a bit like 'Avengers: Endgame' except nobody is left. Not sure if anybody who only read 'Valkyrie' would ever read another book by this author! Since i bought all books in this series i hope that Craig Alanson - to quote a scene from 'Dumb and Dumber' - "Totally redeems himself" with the next book.

Probably the best sifi series i have read

Revisado: 06-03-19

This is my kind of sifi story, great balance between humor, action, adventure, and discovery. Loved the different characters - makes you want to be part of the merry band of pirates ;-) R.C. Bray makes the story come alive in your head - especially when I walk in the dark here on Kauai where we have incredible night time scenes of the Milky Way.

The main character of the story is too unreal

Revisado: 12-20-17

I listened to the book because I really liked the Martian, but in retrospect it was a waste of time. I couldn't get into the storyline at all, but I had the most trouble with the main character. I think if Andy (who I assume is male) tells another story he should stick to the same gender. His portrayal of a women of Saudi heritage is way over the top in all respects and came out totally unbelievable for me. I listened to quite a few SiFi books this year, this is probably the worst.

Let down: It's like this book has new writers

Revisado: 03-19-17

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Too many characters and convoluted story line. It took me 2 months to listen to this book and to tell you the truth I don' t remember a thing. Even while listening to the book I had to re-listen to chapters over and over because they were so forgettable.

What was most disappointing about James S. A. Corey’s story?

What is it with the obsession about polygamy ?

What does Jefferson Mays bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kudos to the narrator for being able to read the whole book, I would have given up.

What character would you cut from Babylon's Ashes?

Most of the belters with the incoherent babel.
