Ocean of Storms

De: Christopher Mari, Jeremy K. Brown

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

In the near future, political tensions between the United States and China are at an all-time high. Then a catastrophic explosion on the moon cleaves a vast gash in the lunar surface, and the massive electromagnetic pulse it unleashes obliterates Earth's electrical infrastructure. To plumb the depths of the newly created lunar fissure and excavate the source of the power surge, the feuding nations are forced to cooperate on a high-risk mission to return mankind to the moon.

Now, a diverse, highly skilled ensemble of astronauts - and a pair of maverick archaeologists plucked from the Peruvian jungle - will brave conspiracy on Earth and disaster in space to make a shocking discovery.

Ocean of Storms is an epic adventure that spans space and time as its heroes race to fulfill an ancient mission that may change the course of humanity's future.

great book

love this book really worth listening to or even reading on your own enjoyed it immensely couldn't stop listening to it really makes you stop and think I thought it was a great book

Didn't expect that.

Very timely, could take place in the future or today. Lots of twists and surprises.

wonderful story

i got lost in this book. wonderful!! loved it!! well written and the voice actor is awesome! fully enjoyed it

Fun Sci Fi

Just a nice fun read. A little far fetched at the end but that's what makes these types of books fun!

Sphere, Apollo 13, Uncharted, and Austin Powers...

...all in one. Luke Daniel's hilarious narration of this far-fetched sci-fi space thriller plot makes this a comical listen. The character lines are written so awful, it's laughable the way Daniel's has to "Mickey Mouse" up the character voices to keep the listener interested....or that's just his style, I guess. Him doung the English character like Austin Powers was awesome.

The plot isn't too bad. And gladly, there's no "sex scene." Good sci-fi stories don't need that crap. But, a good bit of it is rather non-sensical. Like, why beam a signal so strong it knocks out the worlds infranstructure? Doesn't really matter, though. The English guy is hilarious..."...Jesus Christ! The other cave is full of bats!"

Eh...it's fine if you want something safe to read.

Story is generic and very predictable. Most characters are straight up stereotypes with weird or unrealistic motivations (you really hate NASA that much because they didn't let your daddy up in space....really?). Lots of exposition and background description really slow down the pace of the book. Reader performance is ok.

Like space and Nasa, OK.

Topics I love, however the story at times was predictable and convenient. Great diversity in the narration, at times too much, talented though.

Needed editing

There's a good book in there, but it needed more editing to get there. Even so, I give it three stars because I've read/heard much worse, and the story itself is pretty good. There was a lot of head hopping, many info dumps, and too many "As you know, Bobs" on top of some fairly egregious technical errors. For example, the author states that there's a side of the Moon that never sees the Sun. That is flat out wrong, and could have been avoided with a quick Internet search. There's a side of the Moon that never sees the Earth because of tidal lock, but as the Moon orbits us and rotates, the whole Moon gets a piece of Sunshine. Anyway, if you ignore the head hopping and such, it's worth a listen.

feels like Independence Day or a young adult book

The story was intriguing, caught my interest. However the characters and their motivations are one dimensional. There are no character arcs, no one has developed by the end of the book. It has the same hoaky feeling as Independence Day. It was enjoyable, but lacked any real depth. Good for light entertainment. the performance was decent but I think would have been better with a more serious tone.

Movie Material

I can see Hollywood getting a hold of this story and either doing it up right with the right A-listers or screwing it all up by turning this into a film school project made for TV! Believable characters, conflicts, and plot twists. You will definitely want to know what comes next. The character voices, particularly the military characters, were not well differentiated. The door is wide open for a sequel...!
