The narration

Revisado: 01-30-25

This story was slow and pedantic. I don't care what the Characters eat at every meal. The dialog is repetitive and stupid. The female is portrayed as the typical Dumb Blond. I actually fell asleep and couldn't care less about anything I missed. This is a disappointment for Timothy Zahn. I will not follow any of the series.

complexity of the science and plethora of characters.

Revisado: 09-19-24

The title should be "Lost in the Weeds". Multiple stories lines, confusing back and forth switching from one Bob to another and his offshoots. Reality jumps all over from Vitual to Vitual depending on the current person and planet. Everyone is just another iteration of someone else. Characters exist in Reality and digital virtual Reality and transition to host bodies repeatedly whenever or whoever the current Bob decides has something to ad to the convoluted twisting story lines. if you haven't listened to the previous books in the series or are not familiar with every Sci-fi movie and TV show you will miss the references and the naming choices. It was difficult to follow and if you interup the listen you will have to backtrack to grasp where you left off. The narration was good as usual, but I wouldn't recommend this book. I felt it was a disappointment in general and will not continue with the series.

This was a convoluted and disjointed disappointment.

Revisado: 06-30-24

Normally I enjoy the writing of Timothy Zahn. This was the worse I've listened to. The story was convoluted and confusing. This was largely because the narrator was not able to create much of a difference between the characters. The Spanish accents were pathetic. Every principle character seem to go on an angry, threatening rant. The behavior of the leadership from the FBI, police and military were baffonish and stereo typically painted as bullies with power issues. The president even fell into the tyrant verbally abusing the subordinates. Lots of questions about the characters back stories and motivations. Unbelievable seanarios giving the Indian bad guy omniscience fore- knowledge of the reactions and strategy of the good guys. I found this tedious to listen to and am surprised I made it to the end. Not looking forward to the writers other works. I will avoid other narrative by this narrator.

Constant use of profanity is a Lazy writers crutch.

Revisado: 06-09-24

Way too much profanity. It makes me want to stop listening. I don't want to listen on my speakers or when others can hear. The profanity is just the evidence of a lazy writer who can't convey emotions with other words. I don't recommend this book or the others in the series for readers under 18. The constant repetitive expletives conditions the use of foul language in young readers.

It's a compelling story and series

Revisado: 08-14-23

An adventure with well-defined characters. I enjoyed the entire 3 book series and was pleased to find it suitable for younger readers (no use of profanity or lured sexual inuendos). It is a fast-paced midevil romp with heroes and villains exhibiting values and loyalty. This was the first series I've listened to this narrator, and I will be looking forward to other performances by him. His impeccable English-speaking accent was remarkable. He set the tone and flavor of the fantastical setting of this series. Bravo, sir! I hope he will narrate some of Shakespeare's work.

A vulgar, profanity laced, waist of time.

Revisado: 07-29-23

How can you identify a lazy author? He fills the page with unimaginative profanity to give his characters a bit of life. This book would be half as long without the profane diatribes. Interesting concept. Terminator style Skynet A.I goes roage. The title meaning is unexplained until the end. Pandora! R.C. Bray is excellent as always, and the reason I chose the book

Pure Verbal Abuse. Absolute Crap! Read Reviews 1st

Revisado: 04-20-23

If someone spoke to you with this level of profanity you would punch them in the teeth! For some reason, I'm not able to return this piece of trash. Probably because too many other people have returned it. If you enjoy incessant verbal abuse then this is the book for you. This is an example of a lazy writer with a limited vocabulary and a disdain for his readers. Sadly, Ray Porter lends his voice to this abomination. As of now, I am Done with anything written by Dennis E. Taylor and Narrated by Ray Porter. This book was an utter waste of time and money. There is nothing of value in it and I found it impossible to continue listening to it. I am embarrassed to have it in my library. I will never be recommending Denis E, Taylor, and Ray Porter to anyone. This type of F-bomb-laden vomit gives Audible a lousy reputation especially since it is "Only From Audible".

Liberal profanity, not for younger audiences

Revisado: 02-25-23

Great performances from well-known actors, unintelligible portions of action scenes, and much unnecessary profanity.

sexual innuendo

Revisado: 09-19-22

Too much sexual innuendo and profanity. I found it distracting and unnecessary for the plot. Would not recommend it to young readers.

To much sexual content, repetitive explanations

Revisado: 09-13-22

Would be better with out all sexual commitments. All the repeditive explanations and reference to prior books and characters becomes tiresome.
