At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

the reader may as well be reading the ingredients on the back of your shampoo bottle for all the enthusiasm he displays.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Amazing Book, Okay Audio
Revisado: 05-21-17
Two separate readers pronouncing the same name differently is incredibly jarring. Especially when that name is too a major character. And especially when the second reader uses the name for the first time 3/4 of the way through the story. I honestly didn't even know who this person was for twenty minutes. And it was like nails on a chalkboard each time it was mispronounced.
It's a minor quibble, the book is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. And both readers are excellent. But seriously, is there no director to ensure the pronunciations are at least similar?!
Oh well. Buy the book. You won't regret it.

Terry McGowan had been a beat cop, a marine captain, and a special agent for the FBI before retiring at the age of 50. But when tragedy struck the United States on September 11, 2001, Terry felt an undiminished sense of duty to protect and serve his country. Six years later he was in Iraq as a member of a team of high-ranking retired and active-duty military working for the highest level of marine military intelligence. His success in Iraq led to a position as a law enforcement professional with the marines in Afghanistan.

Overly Friendly Bumbling Has-been Goes to War
Revisado: 03-06-17
He is reluctantly tolerated because the Marines are obligated to do so.
Even with the first person spin his retelling of these events inevitably generates, it's apparent that he was a constant burden, embarrassment and inconvenience to the Marines and Contractors he managed to get himself embedded with. To be fair I only got about half way through the book before I lost my patience.
I saw too many variations of this guy while working overseas. I didn't care to finish reading yet another chow-hall warrior's tall tales.

The oldest of the children drafted from humanity's devastated planet, Joe is impressed into service by the alien Congressional Ground Force - and becomes the unwitting centerpiece in a millennia-long alien struggle for independence. Once his training begins, one of the elusive and prophetic Trith appears to give Joe a spine chilling prophecy that the universe has been anticipating for millions of years: Joe will be the one to finally shatter the vast alien government known as Congress. And the Trith cannot lie...but first Joe has to make it through bootcamp.

Great book that up till recently was Kindle only

it's for children
Revisado: 02-01-17
the audiobooks director doesn't seem to understand periods, nor chapters. frequently the reader will flow from the end of a sentence into "chapter X" "title of chapter" and then the first line of the paragraph without so much as pausing to breathe. it's like a voice program is reading, its utterly jarring.
as for the story, it's fine if your reader is about 10-14 years old. it's a bit violent for a young adult novel, but if you don't look at as a kids book it's fundamentally silly.
skip it
