Reseñas de la Crítica

"Robinson’s latest reads like a video game with tons of action and lots of carnage....Gruesome and nasty in a good way, this will appeal to readers of Matthew Reilly." ( Booklist)

STRONG STORY TEPID NARRATION

Not as strong as Joe Ledger series and narrator lacks drama and vocal variety .

Was hoping for more

I was excited for this book but found my attention wandering and was able to predict the twists. I had a hard time with the reader too, there was very little difference between characters as he was reading. I am going to try book 2, see if it gets better.

Gets your attention and keeps it

I loved this book. Going to find the rest of the series now. Exciting from start to finish!

not my favorite Robinson

there were many times where I was just struggling to get through this. as a Robinson fan I expected second world or island 731, this while steeped in lore, was not as good. the performance was also a lot worse. in the end it picked up once I got to know the characters. writing is still clunky and cliché I'll try the next one to see of it improves.

A must read!

Amazing book! loved every minute from start to finish. Can't wait to read the next one!

Another thrill ride.

Mixing ancient history, mythical lore, and military action, Jeremy Robinson once again delivers an intense thrill ride. If this were a movie I'd say it's a perfect summer popcorn flick. (speaking of which, Hollywood really should be working to bring some of Robinson's work to the big screen) Pulse features an intriguing cast of complex characters, a ton of nonstop action, and one heck of a wild story. I definitely look forward to checking out what happens next to Jack Sigler and the rest of the Chess team. As he always does, Jeffrey Jafer does a great job with the narration.

Cool - or cheesy?

The coolest thing about this book was the concept that the plot is built upon. I found the Greek mythology connection wrapped in modern technology fascinating, and it kept me reading even when parts got slow. Ironically, what I thought would appeal to me most about this book - the elite team - was what least impressed me. Their introduction scene seemed especially cheesy, and while some of the interactions were better than others, the team dynamics left me wanting a lot more. I did think the end was worth the read as well.

I also have to say that the narrator had way too much of a Jack Nicholson style for me, and took me a long time to get used to. The style also seemed a bit overly cheesy and self-important. But if you like Nicholson, or are enraptured by the drama and action of this book, you'll probably think it's fine.

I got this as a bargain book -- and I think it was worth that, but I'm not sure if I would use a whole credit on it. In fact, I am on the fence about continuing the series. When I finished it, I thought I would get the 2nd one, but the scenario for the 2nd one sounds SO SIMILAR to this one that I wasn't very interested. The third book in the series sounds more appealing. I think I'll put the series on my long list for other things to read. I have a few others that are more appealing.

Great, leaves you craving more.

A fantastic story of teamwork, friendship, myth and legends. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, unable to turn off until the end and still wanting more. Every time I hear a book narrated by Jeffrey Kafer I think it is his best work and this was no different, he is awesome.

Underlying story not bad, but very campy

The underlying premise of the story is intriguing but the characters are about as deep as a kiddie pool. Has a very campy feel to it as the chesty couldn't be more cliché.

All that being said I'm tempted to listen to the next one.

Riveting!!

This one will keep you hanging onto​ your seats! Enjoy the ride! It's a great one as usual!
