More of the battle against Khaos

KarBoben takes us back into the battle against Khaos for the universe, every universe in the multiverse. If you have already read or listened to the other Apocalyse Blockers books, then you know what to expect. This book continues in that same vein. If you have not yet read any of the other books, I suggest you start with the first one or you will probably be very lost.

In this story, along with Khaos trying to destroy to multiverse, we also have a love story, for Khoas' attempts bring together a lonely queen and a king who has already lost his kingdom. But, don't worry, this is not a typical romance.

With similar comedy and random tangents, Simon Carr delivers another part of the struggle to prevent Khaos from destroying the universe. As with his other books, I think his books are much better listened to on audiobook as opposed to being read. That's not to say that you shouldn't read it if that is your only option, just that his stories come across so much better when listened to.

For this book, I was somewhat disappointed with the narrator - Christopher Adams. I don't know whether this was Adams's first audiobook or what, but it definitely fell short of Carr's other works. There were several places with recording mistakes, whether they were misreads or repeated lines, but it was clear the narrator didn't have anyone proof the audio before it was published. Other than that, while Adams did inject emotion into his reading for most of the book, there were several places where the reading was almost deadpan. It made it hard to keep listening to. If not for those issues with the narrator, this would be a 5-star review. Unfortunately, the narrator took me too far outside the book while I was listening to it, and that cost a star.

That said, if you have read or listened to the other Apocalypse Blocker books, don't let the narrator issues be why you don't listen to this one. It's still a great story and is definitely worth listening to. It just wasn't as great as it could have been, and that was disappointing.

Funny Multiverse Story

Simon Carr's writing is hilarious, and this book was no exception. I often feel like I'm on a carnival ride flowing from one hilarious scene to the next while listening to his stories in audiobook format. I am looking forward to more entertainment in Simon Carr's next book. I do want to state that there was some foul language incorporated in the story. Christopher Adams' narration was awesome, and his performance was entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

satirical sci-fi shenanigans

This satirical space operetta is full laugh out loud moments and hilarious hijinx. Another great work from Simon Carr's Apocalypse Blockers multiverse.

A fun and hilarious space adventure!

This time around the amazing Simon Carr writes another hilarious story. The characters plot and overall story is insanely ridiciouls as always. The characters are fun, and you won't stop laughing. I cannot wait for the next book from Simon! Audio Version: Christopher Adams does a great job with this title and each character.
