Raising the Past

This is a good one. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. The performace was excellent and the story line keeps you interested to the end. Looking forward tot he next Jeremy Robinson book.

As a writer myself, I do not like being the critic a great deal. From a rather implausible yet interesting scenario, the story fades away to a ho-hum account of apparently 2 opposing alien races lurking on Earth waiting for a beacon of sorts to be activated, thus plunging we homo saps into another galactic battle. We are saved by an intrepid team, led by a guy with serious personal problems, including an emotional freeze, but shucks, it comes good for him by the end. With regret, I'm sorry I wasted a credit or money on this book. It should qualify for the next $4.49 sale. Furthermore, the narration was a little strange with different pronunciations of the same word but put this down as an oldster being pedantic.
Again with regret, this book doesn't meet the standard.

I would recommend the book to someone looking for a good uninvolved listen.

I thought more effort should have been put into the woman found in the wooly mamoth. That was the teaser after all...

No, but I liked his performance in this book.

It could end up as a SyFy made for tv movie.

On the one hand, I hated the style of this book -- and also the style of the way it was read. On the other hand, I kind of liked the story and found it compelling. I didn't feel like I wasted a credit (hence the 3 stars), but I was annoyed by the reader. He sounded like a TV announcer to me, not like someone reading a story. His characters were not distinctive (so it helped that the author named the character each time they spoke: Eddie said, "What do we do now?" Eve said, "I'm not sure.") The combination was less an entertaining story than a blow by blow description of a sequence of events, and yet, not terrible. People died, and I didn't care. The polar bear was the only convincingly real part of the book. Not a fan though.

kafer is an amazing story teller and I love his voice and how he makes you feel the story in your mind as you were there!

The story itself is just OK. The concept was interesting but the execution was a bit lacking. The author could have done with a bit of research on living and working in actual arctic conditions. Especially while exposed to the elements i.e. wet from immersion or with missing clothing. I also find it hard to believe that any paleontologist worth the title would ever suggest that modern humans evolved from Neanderthals. I figured out the plot about half way through and, unfortunately, was not disappointed. Oh and the narrator sounds like the bad guy from The Matrix.
