A book you can’t put down

I know we’ve all read that review before. “This was a book I couldn’t put down.” But trust me when I say, I’ve never been scolded at work for listening to Audible before this book. From start to finish, every chapter had me cursing the author’s chosen break point for the chapter, and squeezing in, “Just one more chapter,” a little too often.

Narrator Settings

Change your playback speed to x1.10. For some reason this new(to this series) narrators speak sounds like it's been digitally slowed down, almost to the point of what sounds like slurring. X1.10 playback speed normalizes his narration speed, to my ears anyways.

Great continuation of the story

As much of a mega fan as I am of the previous voice actor, Grant's style and pace are perfect for this crew of characters.

Still don’t like the change to the performer. Just isn’t the same

Still don’t like the change to the performer. Just isn’t the same. It’s growing on me but have have the ever growing urge to abandon the books.

A stepping stone with the long wait for a new step

All the major players perform well in their own field of expertise. The storyline builds to a crescendo that awaits the next step in this world. The past promises a well looked forward continuation to the future. Kudos to both wordsmiths!

Another solid follow-up

What can I say… over the course of the series we see the characters grow and evolve and we’ve reached a point where they feel like real people and we’ve come to know them and love them. Can’t wait to start on the next one!

Love the adventures!

I’m amazed with the story telling, thank you for the great work and characters. Keep up the great work!

Great story, lousy narrator

The story is so great. But the narrator is terrible with pacing and the numerous redos of the recording are noticeably different and jarring.

Grant is awesome, and that was a wild ride!

I really liked the various battle scenes, Not always easy to visualize that splick, but Hopper Chaney do a good job of communicating what you need to know to draw the image. Really love the character development too, Rohar is the best doggo! (Don’t tell him I said that)

Still great. OTF!

Great characters, excellent military action and a bit of space opera to keep it spicy and interesting. I love this series, and can connect with each of the character in one way or another. Christopher Ryan Grant is doing an excellent job of picking up a series mid-stride and delivering a cohesive feel for the characters I fell in love with as performed by his Bray-ness. For anyone who is wondering about the lower number of reviews…the story continues, it’s worth it, and just as good as it was in the beginning.
