Overall I thought the story was good. What irritated me was the lead female character being represented as emotionally weak at times even though the character is a world class rock climber.

Massively intricate world with well developed characters.

That's impossible, at least for me.

This series has a lot of characters that are hard to keep straight at first. I've read the book twice before getting the audio version so I knew who was who.

The logistics of living in a world without

Well paced story and interesting characters.

One of the better

The description of what happens to the elderly in the nursing home.

Definately worth listening/reading. A little preachy and right-wing politically, but overall a good book.

The detail about the terrain in Utah and New Mexico.

Fast paced story with a climatic finish.

Preston and Child write excellent books.

Possibly, though reading a book will always be better for me.

Unraveling the mystery of what's hidden in the island.

Preston and Child are great at incorporating historical elements into mysteries and creating believable plots.

I've read several of McDevitt's books though this is the first audio version. Yes.

Yes

I like the archaeological aspects of solving the mystery of the abandoned cities, etc.

No, it's long but the details and story elements are necessary.

Read them, this is the first I've listened to.

Nope.

It works well with the overall story line.

Yes

This book is quarky, the characters entertaining, and the narration well done.

Original, involving, surprising

Contrast between the world and biblical roots.

yes

I've read it before, wanted to listen to it to prepare me for other books in the series.

This is a good book, and the books in the series get even better. Shinn is a very imaginative writer.
