Riggs 2.0 comes full circle

The saga that began after book ten of the “Star Force,” series, the beginning of the Cody Riggs odyssey, finally reaches some closure in book twelve, “Demon Star. I found the first part of the series with Cody’s father, Kyles, a more compelling story but Cody’s “Lost in Space” adventure trying to find his way home after inadvertently going through a worm hole and encountering many different alien life forms while trying to find out who tried to murder him a story worth listening to. There are some interesting surprises while questions are answered and the ending leaves the door open for the series to continue.
Mark Boyett is still consistently great as the voice of this series.

An action-packed Adventure full of story progression

This action-packed installment was my personal favorite of the series. Fans of the series will enjoy this installment and I found it to be full of action and story progression. Cody Riggs makes mistakes battles aliens all the while bargaining width Marvin The robot for help showing himself to be his father son in true. For my part the authors did a great job with making the story come full circle check it out I think you will enjoy it.

Good possible end to the series

Where does Demon Star rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This rates up there with the other of BV Larsons books

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marvin hes brilliant and sneaky.

What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?

He just does a great job

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really but there were times I almost stopped listening due to the immaturity of Cody Riggs

Any additional comments?

I am disappointed that Cody Riggs has not seem to have matured over the course of these books. His actions seem to be short sighted and stupid for the most part. In dealing with Marvin this becomes very apparent. The fact that the Cody character continues not to ask for an opinion from the crew seems rather out of place. Every strong leader would ask for input then make his or her own decision.
Maybe it’s just me but where this book starts and the previous one ends seems to have a fairly large gap in time. All that aside this is a very good book with lots of twists and turns. I for one do not believe that Marvin has met his demise. It would be out of character for him not to have figured something out and survived and will show up again at some point most likely to collect his offspring.
I am not sure where you take the series from here other than to follow the rouge AI ships into the void I am not sure how entertaining the story would be. With the same cast of characters it might be interesting.

another great book

I can't wait to see what happens with Cody Riggs next . dose he get his command and go after the ships .

loved it

loved it can't wait to start the next book ..... ,,, ... ,, .. ya

You have a poor view of alpha males

As much as I love star force, it is very infuriating at times. It seems that BV Larson thinks that Alpha males have no self-control when it comes to women. That we're just ready to bang in anything that looks attractive. That is a weak male figure.
Also, it seems that Mark Boyett changed Bradley's voice and Hansen's in this book. Hansen sounded off and Bradley sounded like the old Hansen.

Double Wow Factor!!

loved the book. The story takes off with the same intensity as the ones before it!
I'm hooked,and a fan.

Favorite book of the series. Highly recommended series.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series and the last book of the series was a great conclusion. I hate audiobooks with sound effects and this book does not have them. Mark Boyett has a great voice and his inflection and pronunciation is a great addition to an enjoyable story line. I've listened to the entire series twice in two years.

Love this series

Love all the books in this series, good story, awesome narrator. Easy to follow the story and the characters have their own personalities that are distinguishable.

aaah wow

let's just say I teared up in this book, not gonna spoil anything. A+ yup
