A thought provoking story of what could be…

I really loved Cathy McCrumb’s “Recorder” story and the vibrant characters that were developed to enhance the storytelling. Cathy did an excellent job of balancing a complex story with believable emotions and feeling. I think we could all imagine feeling the way the Recorder did as she navigated a “trial by fire” experience.

I recommend it to all science fiction fans who love to see a lot of heart in the story. I thorough enjoyed it!

Recorder

Recorder by Cathy McCrumb is a science fiction book with strong science and memorable characters. I was a little apprehensive when I first started listening to the book because it was a little slow taking off. But the storyline and characters drew me in. I like how each chapter is a journal/log entry and Cathy McCrumb does a great job of giving background information about the secondary characters throughout the book. The story is suspenseful and it leaves the reader guessing if enemies will become friends and friends enemies.

I loved it!!

Wonderful story, wonderful narrator! The author really did her research with all the science fiction elements that were in this book. sci-fi, murder mystery, sabotage, and a romance, could it get any better?!

An excellent story! I am jumping right to the next book!

It took a chapter or two to really get me hooked, but once that happened, I couldn't stop listening! Yay for the Recorder!

Excellent sci-fi experience.

Do you like fleshed-out worlds different from our own but still completely relatable? The way McCrumb offers up character observations and thoughts about the world gives you a very clear idea of how the world works without spending pages and pages on describing all the little details. The author seems to know exactly how to highlight all the necessary and interesting details while letting the reader fill in the more boring details.

Are you searching for a plot driven by character development? The whole point of this book is the growth of the main (and side!) characters from close-minded, robotic thinking into a much more complex world view.

Just because a book is about character growth doesn't mean it's low on the action either! murder mystery, gunfights, spying, this book has it all! And it will keep you on your toes from start to finish. I definitely had trouble putting this book down just to eat! can't praise this book enough! love it!
