Warstrider: Warstrider, Book 1

De: Ian Douglas

Narrado por: David Drummond

In the twenty-sixth century, humanity is at war with the Xenophobes, and the planet Loki is the next battleground.

Dev Cameron joined the military to fly a starship but is rated unsuitable and grudgingly accepts an assignment with the ground forces, piloting a massive walking tank (a warstrider). But Cameron may yet get a chance at glory when he makes a discovery about the alien foes that could change the course of the war.

exceptional read by Ian Douglas

I absolutely loved this book. I've read all of what's available for the Star Carrier series and also could not recommend them enough.

I was in awe getting to experience the author's imagination and enjoyed the emotional waves felt as Dev had moved through his life, disappointment, excitement, luster, power, anger, all of it was there, other emotions that I currently can not put into words.

Thanks, can not wait to pick up book two!

pretty good story but with a major flaw

the author uses loads of Japanese words/phrases/labels. it drove me nuts! Just use English nexttime! !!

Strider

It was a book that I had a hard time following. The story seemed to jump around a lot. I felt it was a science class lecture.

Horrible tribute to Ian Douglas' brilliance

Ian Douglas, as usual, knocks a brilliant story out of the park in his ability to create relatable characters in a detailed and plausible future world. The story, with its heavy Japanese influence, is great. The narration, however, is absolutely atrocious! The voice talent (very loose use of the word) sounds like a drunken karaoke singer attempting to imitate children's Anime voices all-the-while thinking what he's doing is serious. If it weren't so horrible it'd be comical. I'll read the rest of the series, but I won't listen to any more.

Good story. Great narrator!

I gave the performance and overall five stars because of the mixture of a good narrator and a good story. You will enjoy this book so don't hesitate to try it.
