A 1950’s Space Tail that reads like a 1950’s Space Tail.

Revisado: 05-09-22

A very dated story that hasn’t aged well.Even the narration sounds like it’s from a long past era. Not one of his better works.

Well it sure ain’t Asimov

Revisado: 04-28-22

First off this book was a gift, I only completed it because..well I kept hoping that it would get better..well it didn’t. It has plot holes as wide as the galaxy. And it’s pretty much a rolling cliché. The writer seemed to delight in describing deaths in what I can only describe as gross detail. It’s more of a horror story than a sci-fi tome. So if you like gory horror stories this book is for you. If you’re looking for a good sci-fi listen look elsewhere.

A thoroughly enlightening and entertaining book

Revisado: 11-30-21

This book was a fun and informative listen. Although some of the information was repeated throughout the book,there was a lot of new information presented. I am hoping that there will be a followup book. My only complaint is with the “Narrator”, although he seemed to be quite enthusiastic about the material which he was presenting, he read it at quite a quick pace, more of a “jog” through the material than a nice “stroll”, this caused me to rewind on several occasions to make sure of what he just said. And his mispronunciation of some historic names such as the former V.P. of the U.S.A.“SPYRO” instead of Spiro, or locations such as the lake/reservoir in New Jersey gave a minute to pause,and when he kept pronouncing N.I.C.A.P. By each letter throughout his narration until chapter seven, when he suddenly declared that from that point on he was going to pronounce it as “NYCAP” I wondered what took him so long,and why the change at that point. Other than those minor “nits” it was quite a good listen and I’d recommend this book to anyone with an interest in this subject.

More of an “Audio Play”

Revisado: 04-07-21

Well the first thing that a prospective listener of this book should know is that it’s more of an audio play ,in that instead of a narrator immersing you into the story with their voice alone.You get not only the narrator but a cacophony of background sound, that distracts you from the story. One in particular is the droning rumble which I can only assume is meant to replicate the sound of the ships engines in space. the second thing is the actors’ attempt at replicating the child’s voice, you’ll know it when you hear it, but it comes across if not quite grating but close enough to make you cringe during those parts of the book. Also As I’ve read several of the “Thrawn” based books I’ve kind of come to expect them to be the “adult version” of the Star Wars Universe sort of like the “Mandalorian” . Instead this book reads more like a young teen adventure, maybe that’s the “Disney” influence either way the writer could have skipped the whole Skywalker storyline as it comes across as a bit too juvenile for the mature reader or listener. Other than those minor nits, It was a fairly enjoyable listen.

If you could sum up Drift in three words, what would they be?

Interesting Engrossing Scary

What did you like best about this story?

It was a subject that hasn't been spoken about in somtime

What aspect of Rachel Maddow’s performance would you have changed?

She could slow down on the narration a bit, and check her facts about the terminology that was used.

If you could give Drift a new subtitle, what would it be?

A true tail of wagging the dog, or how America’s Military was defeated, and taken over by the private sector with nary a drop of blood spilled!

Any additional comments?
