Alice Explorer

Alice Series, Book 6

By: Charles Lamb

Narrated by: Daniel Thomas May

Length: 9 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

With the invading aliens temporarily driven from Human-and-NeHaw-occupied space, all the races are using the pause to recover and rebuild, both friend and foe alike. For the NeHaw, that means pressuring the Earth to allow them to rebuild and rearm their fleet from the Wawobash shipyards, a risk that could easily backfire.

For Jake, the lingering concerns of a lost crew with the un-activated Artificial Life installed in the captured saucer still dominate his thoughts. While he obsesses on that, others look to the origins of the mysterious alien invaders in the universe's unexplored regions.

General Jake Thomas must face the fact that he can't be the human recovery leader and an intergalactic explorer at the same time. Therefore, it is now left to others of his inner circle to take up the mantle and charge forth into the unknown while he holds down the fort at home.

In the end, it is a surprise to see who rises to the occasion and proof that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Still a great series

I have enjoyed all the Alice books so far. I'm used to the performers having to once in a while do a retake of a sentence or paragraph. Not a big deal, most times there are just subtle differences in voices. The Explorer story took this to a whole new level. Sounded like a new person. If I was to guess, my theory would be that the original performance was abridged and the missing "fluff" was added in to this recording. Different person? The Author? Like I said, not a big deal. I have and will continue to recommend to anyone asking.

Excellent but too short!

This series is so captivationg that any flaws or errors in the writing/narration are instantly discarded. the characters & story are what its all about!
Passing the torch, Jake's son is becoming an outstanding lead character!

Better plot line than previous books

Narration was somewhat better and the plot lines more interesting but everything is too easy and author still doesn’t have a firm grasp of military arts. Ok read but still not a first line author!

narration needs work

well I found the story to be as fantastic as every other book in the series I did find the narration to the less than optimal. I especially found the constant switching of voices to be unnerving and distracting and the high pitched female voice attempt was somewhat laughable. the first time I heard both I broke out laughing at the high-pitched female voice while confused at the sudden change in voice I didn't care for either and I found them to be a change that would rather have not had in the first place

I too dislike the ending without a future

I must admit the story lived in but to change narrator's after the 1 St 4 books was indeed bad timing. Having to now try to learn all off the characters by voice sucks and then you leave us having without any info regarding a book 7. I hope there are more books coming.

Ok

Looking forward to next installment of the book . I enjoy this one better than last few

Great continuation of a well written saga.

As with the preceding books, book 6 was a good story with good narration. I will keep my eyes out for any additional books in this series.

Ooops

The man’s name is IVEN not Evon!!! Say his name right! It is very distracting to be listening to the book a have a character so important to the story misnamed throughout the story!

Maybe one of my favorites so far

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed a story mainly focused on the main characters son. It is well executed and a lot of fun to follow. I could see future titles focusing equally on both father and son with an opportunity to bring in the other siblings as well. It also has a clever ending that will undoubtedly lead to interesting storylines. Overall well done.

The narration is good, but struggles with female voices. A few went very high pitched and were just unbelievable as real voices. I would have preferred more of the characters sounding the same than resorting to an exaggerated female voice to offer differentiation.

Good

It ended too soon and I was just trying to figure out what was happening next
