Good storytelling, interesting universe(s)

Revisado: 11-28-24

I held off on this series because “Magic”. As a sci-fi fan, the idea of mixing the fantasy genre in didn’t sound very appealing.

However, the author did a good job of blending the genres, albeit with more leaning on magic.

In total, I enjoyed the listen and found myself liking some characters and loathing others. For whatever reason, I disliked Carl quite a bit, but not enough to hate his character.

It’s a fun ride, worth the credit.

Narration good - steady volume.

Whisper to a scream

Revisado: 08-06-24

Great trilogy, really enjoyed it. Wish RC Bray had finished as this voice actor leans way, way, WAYYYY too much on volume, rather than inflection or nuance.

In other words, whispering inner dialogue followed instantly by gravelly shouting. It’ll blow your speakers if you’re trying to catch some dialog.

It’s either the producers or the actor, but some volume leveling would help. Would have given performance 4 stars if not for having to constantly adjust the volume.

Unlikeable hero, this is incomplete

Revisado: 11-12-23

Chase’s growth as a character was shallow, only the problems he faced got more complex.

Also, this isn’t the complete series and I’m not sure I can finish it.

Overall, it’s a pretty interesting story, but it weaves together like a soap opera.

Yes, a Space Opera.

Revisado: 06-24-23

Likes: interesting concept, action, likable characters.

Dislikes: seriously poor decision making by main characters to the point of being ridiculous

Also disliked: elements of the performance. Consistent volume by the speaker matters. Speaking so low you have to crank the volume, followed by almost shouting into the microphone made me question myself for listening.


It’s not a *bad story, and it’s entertaining.

For one credit, worth it.

Lots and lots of twists and turns.

Just be prepared to back up because the actor thinks barely speaking adds something, and also is apparently unable to make his voice sound like he’s shouting without actually shouting. If you buy, you’ve been warned.

“Military sci-fi” by some standard

Revisado: 05-21-23

It was good but not great. I prefer more military strategy in my military sci-fi.

However, the political intrigue and culture divergence was a reasonably interesting backdrop.

Cool technology concepts, relatable characters, and emotional situations.

But stumpy! I was surprised about his fate.

I couldn’t stop listening

Revisado: 02-24-23

While I listen to more SciFi than anything, this was a great and interesting series.

Originally attracted to it by the title of the first book, Spaceman, I soon became engrossed in a well written story.

Character development was good, the villains self righteously vile, the bad guys bad, and he good guys good.

Overall, a nice story with interesting twists.

FWIW, I liked it.
