Warbots

De: G. Harry Stine

Narrado por: Sean Duregger

In the high-tech laboratories of tomorrow a new breed of super-soldier is born!

The brutal face of warfare has been dramatically altered. Armored giants now roam the explosive fields of battle. Massive instruments of devastation with computer minds inseparably linked with the brainwaves of their human masters. They are the Warbots. Men and machines combined to create the most lethal warriors in the history of armed conflict.

But a monstrous challenge emerges for the mechanical gladiators emanating from a country that technology forgot. As Captain Curt Carson leads his robot infantry in a daring attempt to rescue 105 hostages from the sadistic clutches of a bloodthirsty terrorist army, the soldiers of tomorrow face the butchers of yesterday in a battle for the future of the free world.

The first book in a 12-part series that has been out of print for many years is now back!

Heavy on nostalgia…

I had fond memories of this book from when I originally read it back in the late 80s/early 90s. I would not say that it held up. It’s a strange mix. Some good ideas and some awkward writing come out very middling in the end. The writing may have improved as the series went on but I didn’t find the characters as appealing now as I did when I was a teenager. Oh well.

Good Story

Was very pleased to see this book make it to audible. I have the series in print

Oddly Enjoyable

A narrator I follow closely on here and FB, KC Johnston, suggested Sean Dureggers narration, and specifically this book.

Story 4Stars. It's a good story, but is definitely a bit dated. nothing jarring that takes you away from it, but it's still good, if they had half stars i'd say 4.5, but they do not.

Performance 5Stars. again if they did this in figure skating type scoring i'd say 4.7-4.8 but they do not. Duregger, does an overal solid job and it's clear crisp sounds. He did a good job of being in the story and drawing in the listener, though on a very few occasions he seemed a bit stilted, but that's just nit picking. very solid job. 5stars

Overall 5Stars. the narration really wins this one in the end and pushes the story up a notch. I'm going to buy a few more from this narrator and we shall see how it goes.

If you like Military Sci-Fi, it's worth the credit.

Enjoyable read

I enjoyed the story and the narration! This was a good book. I'll check out more by this author and narrator.

Enjoyable Military Sci-Fi Novel

This is an entertaining military Sci-Fi novel with plenty of robot and infantry combat. It’s interesting to listen to a SciFi book that was written in the 80s, and I think it still holds up fairly well today. The story has an original concept, especially considering when it was written. The military uses robots, piloted by people that nice and safe (for the most part) from far away, using what we would call a sophisticated immersion reality system today. The book generally moves along quickly, and I found myself listening non-stop. The narrator does a good job with all of the characters voices, but there were a few times when he mispronounced words. Overall an enjoyable military sci-fi novel, and I’m looking forward to book two.

I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
