The weakest link

Revisado: 01-12-23

By far the least inspired, least interesting installment of the series. With a narrowing focus on warfare, there’s just less going on, fewer surprises, less innovation, less mystery. It’s a pretty flat footed novel that might as well be set in earth’s history, rather than Anyar. I also cringe so deeply from any of the chapters focusing on Yosef’s polygamist marriage. It’s so gross and distracting. Total straight male wish fulfillment. I hate it so much. What started out as a fascinating thought experiment in Cast Under An Alien Sun has devolved into masturbatory prose and bland militaristic jargon ad nauseam.

Writing at its best

Revisado: 07-17-21

A story that continues to grow and become more interesting as it evolves. Great ideas and characters. Well written but I suspect a bit too detailed, however any less would distract from the story. I look forward to the next volume in the series. Thanks to the effort of the author for such an enjoyable read.

Great fantasy of how one person can change history

Where does Forged in Fire rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a long book, but I really enjoyed the detail as the author trys to bring 21st-century science into a 17-century culture and the consequences of how such and environment would respond to a radical changes in scientific knowledge. I think this is a book better listened to than read because of all the colorful accents that the various characters bring to the story. Like many books that have become a favorite of mine (ie Cryptonomicon) details makes the difference. I will be looking forward to Olan's next writing because his storys are just plain fun.

What did you like best about this story?

Wonderful imagary world

What about Jonathan Davis’s performance did you like?

great reader especially with all the accents.

If you could sum up Heavier Than a Mountain in three words, what would they be?

A well-written series that you won't be able to stop listening to. The author has crafted a tail that is best listened because the narrator has done such an outstanding job. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

The author went to sleep

Any additional comments?

I usually like to listen to Charles Stross's works, but this one is just poorly thought out. When I finished I was confused thinking there must be more. Never have I listened to a book where so much is left unresolved. Most of the story lines are remain dangling. I am rather frustrated and will not be listening or reading anything from this author anytime soon. So potential readers be forewarned, if you read the series expect your first response to be where is the next novel to complete the series. Sadly, there is none (at least I am aware of).

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a book everyone should take the time to read and understand. I have read few books this year, that compare to the author's insight, into a subject that is important to all man kind.

Great Book of a series

If you could sum up Koban: The Mark of Koban, Book 2 in three words, what would they be?

The book is a lot of fun to listen to, but the series consists of more than the two books offered. Best not get started if Audible is not going to offer the whole series.
