Interlopers

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Ben Browder

Cody Westcott, a young archeologist, returned from a dig at Apachetarimac with more than he bargained for. Seems the Chachapoyans that he had been studying had a lot to teach us all. Soon he steps through the looking glass, but unlike Alice its no fairytale world that he finds. Instead it is our own world teeming with Interlopers: Those Who Abide. Unseen by the mass of humanity they are aware that Cody can now see them. They don't like it.

Thrust into a fight that finds him allied with highly unlikely characters he travels around the world to ancient centers of power. He calls on strength he never knew he possessed to save his wife and the future of humanity.

Interesting premise, good presentation

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

more background on some of the characters and groups.

Have you listened to any of Ben Browder’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to him before, but have seen him on several tv shows. he does a good job presenting but starts off a little slow paced.

Did Interlopers inspire you to do anything?

move my houseplants outside.

Thrilling-3 cheers for Alan Dean Foster

I am new to downloading audio but I've been listening to audiobooks from back when they were on tape. This book translates very well into audio. For the most part first person viewpoint. Vivid detail, nail biting adventure, romance (just enough to make it believable that the protagonist would go to the ends of the Earth to accomplish his goal), a bit of humor and room for many,many sequels. Did I mention how much I enjoyed the narration? Ben Browder does a wide range of voices but even better he creates that special character to listener bond. Hope he continues to do audio work

fantastic work great narrations

easy to finish reading, Ben browder did a fantastic job narrating the story and building tension, the accents keep it clear to who is speaking. if you enjoy Ben browders work on farscape/ Stargate I highly recommend you check it out.

Nice lite listen

Starts off strong but then limps along
Narrator was not my cup of tea but does a decent job
All in all the story is like a Lifetime TV movie, nice but not Hollywood

Great build up

I'd read the book and was initially disappointed with the narrator. He seemed to be too understated, but as time went on, the pace of the story increased and the intensity of the narration kept pace with this. He also dealt well with non-American accents - notoriously difficult.
