Wasted time and money

Revisado: 02-01-25

The premise was potentially excellent but the execution was very poor. The storyline jumped around for no rational reason, there was no linearity of power accumulation, personal growth, character development, or even development of the antongonists. Characters were inconsistent in emotion, emotional development and even logic. Things the understood in one chapter they would have no clue about in the following chapter. I kept listening hoping for an improvement that never came. I finally finished the series as I had already invested a bunch of hours, and because it became background noise to an unpleasant job(sanding) that I was doing.

incredible science behind the storyline.

Excellent cross, double cross, triple cross, set in a very technical future. A great listen!

Excellent, but not your typical sea yarn.

Revisado: 01-17-23

Slow to start, and the title is accurate, but the story grows with the age of the principal into an excellent, if not exuberant, yarn. Worth the listen.

not worth the time.

Revisado: 09-13-22

The book was classic Zane Grey but the narration was horrendous. It was hesitant, broken and choppy as if there were random commas every 3rd word requiring a full stop. I had to turn the speed up to 1.5x to come even close to a flow. Everyone has different tastes, but I wouldn't listen to my favorite book if it were read by Russell Bentley.

worth listening to.

thought the premise was suspect but it turned into a very enjoyable listen. for science fiction it didn't require too much suspension of belief.

Tough listening

Revisado: 11-10-20

The premise started well enough but fell off a cliff from there. I was complaining about the book to my wife and she convinced me to keep going with "you know how some books are hard to get in to but suddenly become all engrossing? Don't give up too soon." I wish I had given up. I feel like I waisted my time. It certainly was a waste of a credit.

Tough to buy in to.

Revisado: 09-15-20

The premise required a stretch, and the story ran down from there. At so many points, circumstances were unsupportable and the logic of almost every decision was hugely flawed. I finished listening because it was like worrying a loose tooth, eventually the pain will go away if you just get to the end.

I realized about 2 chapters in to the audible book that I had purchased and read this series in print 5 or 6 years ago. It was a great read, but I didn't want to listen to it (again).

disappointed

Revisado: 07-12-19

Struggled to get to the end. interesting premise but the inconsistencies kept interfering with the flow. The voices the narrator used were initially good but had no variation or depth. The main character was Always angry in all situations. Didn't fit the scene all the time.

Old Tech

Revisado: 05-16-19

Couldn't finish. Thought the story would be timeless. Wasn't. Never though the tech of the Alien series would be dated. Was. Wish I had returned it.
