Teleport

Teleport, Book 1

De: Joshua T. Calvert

Narrado por: Eric Altheide

"Joshua T. Calvert has a gift for making nail-biting science fiction that you can't put down. Get ready for some sleepless nights!"—M. A. Rothman, USA Today bestselling author

In Lake Maracaibo, in the northwestern part of Venezuela, a long-hidden extraterrestrial artifact underneath the ocean floor triggers a disaster. The United States military launches an expedition, sending a cutting-edge team of international researchers to the source of a magnetic instability that's destroying any electronics in the region.

Inside the large artifact is a chamber that's large enough for the researchers to enter. After a shocking death, the scientists from the United States, Europe, and Russia realize that it is a teleportation device. But they soon face a fundamental question: Why do those who enter the chamber fall into a coma? Are they traveling to other places, or is it all just an illusion? Dream or reality, the other side of the teleporter turns out to be a hell that puts not only the team, but the entire project to the test—because they are not alone out there.

Not bad, not great

I was a bit disappointed with the book. But overall, I finished it and it was worth the listen. I just don't plan on continuing with the series.
I wanted this book to be about what happens after the Teleport. This book took forever to get to that point. I get it, maybe he is setting it up for additional books. Problem is, by the time they got to the good part, I was already tired of the book and checked out of the story. I finished the book, and it wasn't bad. But I will not continue as I now found there is a Teleport 2.
Narrator did a great job and probably helped this book out a lot. Otherwise, it would probably be a 2 star.

Stargate with a dip of Event Horizon

So I should preface, I adore Stargate as a series, from start to finish.
This means I am a purist at heart, and thus my thought is coming from that.

This is a series that is the basic plotline of Stargate, more so the movie, the Pilot, and Season 1 Finale and Season 2 Premier, it just is. There is a literally a character called Kawalsky, and doses of Stargate Nods sprinkled in.
However you can feel the plot does try to pull away from that, as best it can.
The Stargate or "Object" is woefully different mechanism for transport, which is wear the "Event Horizon" theme comes in. Thus directly because of that, we do get some of the coming to life moments one would expect, and something that I enjoyed with Stargate, the message behind the story. This is just a wee bit darker. I liked this book series personally, the performance was a bit rough at first, yet ya get used to that and it seemed to get better.
I am interested on the next steps, given we are well off the rails at the end of the series, I really enjoyed the mystery and the changes in the characters, interested to see where everything goes. I think if you enjoy a decent story with a stargate plot that does get a little creepy you'll like this.

Good story

Give the narrator a B+. He was very good but something about his voice seemed a bit monotone to me. Looking forward to book 2

The entire book had me unequivocally captivated!

Joshua never disappoints, and this book is another example of how creative and inspiring his writing is! Excited to listen to the next one!

Excellent story

Nothing at all great story
