Everyone involved was having fun - and I had fun listening

Revisado: 01-21-25

I enjoyed the characters, the interesting ideas, the unapologetically outrageous storyline and the truly fantastic narration. Tom Taylorson has incredible range. Such fun.

I'll buy the next one, too, but...

Revisado: 10-12-24

I enjoyed it and will read the next one, if there is one. Having a character named Alanson here while "Weps!" in ExForce is named Mammay, with RC Bray as the common thread, is fun. Carl Butler often feels like what a crusty mid-fifties Joe Bishop might have been. The other characters and storyline keep things moving and are very engaging. The ending in this one was not as challenging and thought-provoking as some of the other endings in the series have been. Maybe Carl made the right call at the end. Maybe it was just as tough a call, requiring a LOT of maturity. But it just wasn't that interesting.

Hopelessness, then Hope, then ends with heartbreak - not continuing

Revisado: 06-14-24

I thought the premise was interesting but just as things seemed like they found the forever ship and would turn around, it ends on a note so devastating that I have no interest in the next book. Narrator was amazing. But sorry I bought the book.

I might be nearing the end of my rope after Book 4

Revisado: 11-29-23

I liked the concept in the first two books, but the target audience in the last two books appears to be young teens with Catie - who is not only not a typical teen, she is hardly credible - as the central character. Not my demographic. While the concept of using the advanced technologies to raise up developing economies is a good one, it could be done without the constant vilification of the USA and American companies. Hackneyed, formulaic and, frankly, uniformed. Finally, the narrator is weak, with little variation between voices and a distracting Canadian accent. Too bad. Coulda been good.

I almost gave up....

Revisado: 11-13-23

While I really like this cast of characters, I almost gave up after books 4 or 5. Just too formulaic. Glad I didn't give up. The stories have become much more interesting and the characters deeper and even more likable. I'm now comforted to see that 4-5 more books are available in print already, and hope the incomparable Mr Kafer gets to WORK!

Fun and engaging. We’ll worth the credit!

Creative and fun. The Australian narrator does American accents better than I do and I’m a Yank! Great fun. I’m just disappointed I gave a try to a series with only one book out. I hate waiting.

Even after all these books,it keeps getting better

Revisado: 07-18-23

Admiral Geary and Company are my favorite characters in fiction. Combine that with fascinating aliens who are truly ALIEN, not just humans with cat or lizard faces. These aliens look, act, and THINK in a completely different, but well-thought-out and consistent way. The villains are more likely to be humans - and the human scumbags are awful, which accentuates perfectly the HONOR of our heroes. Interesting, exciting, and FUN. Love it.

Engaging story - EXCELLENT narration

Revisado: 07-02-23

Christopher Hopper creates exciting stories with characters you LOVE and LOVE to HATE. I could recommend this just to hear how Hopper voices Gramps and Lula - but the book is well worth a listen on its own merits!

I’ve listened to this 20+ times

Each time I listen I learn something new. Amazing book - so much in a small package. Today, on the day on Pastor Keller’s death, I took great comfort from another listen.

Proof that almost anything can be made funny

Revisado: 02-25-23

The only other book I read in this series was Mind Bullet, which was great! But the other books seemed too, well....., DARK. But Khaos was just so freaking funny, RC Bray was fantastic, and though I had no trouble picking up the story, I immediately gave it a second listen which was even better than the first listen, since I knew the characters better. I have eagerly pre-ordered Singularity and may be tempted to go back and see if the backstories of my favorite characters are funny enough to overcome the darkness.
