Historia
In his junior year at college, the only things on Sean's mind are doing his homework and getting out of college to get a real job. A gamer and a bit of a nerd, Sean's philosophy in life has been to keep his head down and get his work done. But when a failed kidnapping attempt leaves him with a gaping hole in his memory, his oldest friend dead, and his mother missing, Sean suddenly finds his whole world turned upside down as he's thrust into the hidden world of magic and the supernatural.

Story is good, narration was at times just awful.
Revisado: 04-05-18
As stated, story is great but the narrator was terrible, especially the female voices. Jarring.

Great continuation of the story, bad narrator
Revisado: 12-21-17
The narrator was... Well I won't say awful, but there were time where I was question his ability to speak English. Mispronounced words, funky pronounced military jargon, and weird tones when reading certain sections made this somewhat difficult to listen to at times. The story itself kept me engrossed.

Story was like a 10 year old wrote it
Revisado: 07-28-17
Don't get me started on the performance, there was almost no inflection in his voice. The story itself was just... Bad. No comparison to the previous story. The characters made few decisions that make sense and they didn't feel developed at all. They make the same exact mistakes throughout the story. The story itself repeats itself, many of the scenes feel recycled. I'll never read a book by this author or read by the this narrator again.

Historia
For Cade Grayson, father, husband, and former Delta Force operator, life has changed drastically over the course of 48 hours. He's watched the dead inexplicably return to life before his very eyes. He's lost many people near and dear to him, most dying unfathomably horrible deaths at the hands of the dead who have seemingly overnight taken over the big metropolis - their numbers and hunger for human flesh growing exponentially with each passing hour.

Irritating, stupid conduct by the good guys
Revisado: 06-26-17
-Slight spoiler
Most of the story is pretty good but....
It's amazing, the bad guys, untrained and trained alike are all able to herd and control zombies willy nilly, while the good guys continuously get swarmed by the same and are constantly walking into ambush points even AFTER running into ambush' previously. Many times these are combat vets who would know better. Manufacturing drama for drama' sake is crap.

So, the story in and of itself was pretty good. The performer was.... well, not. Really did not fit the story and he couldn't even pronound gyro correctly. A greek or mediteranean gyro, pronounced yeero, NOT geero.

Cool
Revisado: 10-10-16
Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, it compares excellently.
Any additional comments?
I really like this series. The one thing that is kind of annoying is the in-depth description of people getting beat on while the main character or another character just sits there and watches. I mean, we're talking about a group of heavily armed individuals here but they watch as something or someone just hammers on one of their own. I just don't buy it.

Revisado: 10-10-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No
What could Nicholas Sansbury Smith have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Try to make decision making of characters more realistic instead of forcing drama. Some of the conclusions these characters come to are..... ridiculous
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No
Any additional comments?
I really tried to like this series but in the end, it got so ridiculous I just stopped listening.

No
Any additional comments?
While I enjoyed the story overall, the thing that annoyed me was the same mistake that most sci-fi authors. Nukes in space are NOT very good weapons as they have to impact your target to do any real damage. There is no atmosphere in space and therefor no shockwaves which means the only thing doing damage is the heat, radiation and the initial explosion radius.

Historia
Richard, a cadet at the Intergalactic Wizard Scout Academy, is on assignment to retrieve a defecting scientist on a planet deep behind enemy lines. In theory, it should be a simple in-and-out mission. But as Richard learned long ago, nothing is ever simple. With a deadly Crosioian scout hot on his trail, Richard soon finds himself stuck with a couple of super-genius children who may hold a secret that could mean the salvation or destruction of three galaxies.

Dumbest dumb person EVER
Revisado: 08-05-16
Listening to the main character make decisions almost physically hurt. Lacking logic, Common sense, and anything that even remotely equates to intelligence. The amount of times I wanted to slam my head against the wall during this story made it very difficult to listen to. If it was possible, the character appeared to get dumber as the story progressed.

Decent story but....
Revisado: 01-23-16
If you could sum up Bugging Out in three words, what would they be?
Gritty, thought provoking
Would you listen to another book narrated by Mark Westfield?
Yes
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
The premise was bit out there and there were solutions that were pretty easy to implement, but overall, the situations that the main character found himself in during a survival situation were believable.
