Reseñas de la Crítica

"In a military SF novel that will entertain [listeners] with a taste for cheerfully casual mayhem, much treachery and betrayal ensue, and there's seldom a dull-or quiet-moment." ---Publishers Weekly

A Great Sci-fi Adventure novel

I recently finished listening to Logos Run, the second book in William C. Dietz's Run duology. This book series is an unusual bird. While loads of Sci-fi is being produced, not much of it marries Sci-fi with classic adventure telling which usually includes travel, exploration, random events, etc., while marrying such to an overarching narrative.
When the two are married they create a sub-genre that I can only attempt to describe as Sci-fi Adventure stories. This is a continuation of the adventure of the previous novel set in a universe that marries barbarism amongst declining technology with a gamble on rebuilding the universe, but it might be at the cost of its freedom.
Well written and well narrated, it's thoroughly enjoyable.
Conclusion: I think anyone who enjoys either traditional adventure stories or good Sci-fi will enjoy this tale.

Great Book

Narration was great none better than Sean Runnette. He keeps the characters interesting even when there is a lull in the action.

Ending Run, Fail

Hugely disappointed with this book, as I loved the first in the series. Runner had such good pacing and such diversity in the set of characters and its mission was a valiant one. 3/4 of the way through Logos Run the writing was on the wall that the book was likely not going to end well. What a disturbingly abrupt and unsatisfying ending, I wish I had stopped after book one. The performance was great across both books but the finality just left me disappointed in every way.
