A spectacular addition

A must read for the fans of GFL.
The story is solid and can stand alone without reading any other book.
Scott's performance is excellent, enhanced by a quality sound editor.
If something like the final chapters could organically find its way into book 6/7, oh what a special sight that would be again.

Delightful look into Dinolition!

The Rider is a side story to Quinton and the GFL. Some familiar characters make appearances but this novella can easily stand alone or be your introduction to the GFL universe. Enjoy!!

Excellent Extension of the GFL Series

What did you love best about The Rider?

The cameos from GFL characters such as John Tweedy and Gredock were a blast. Poughkeepsie Pete really comes to life in this book too. And, there are dinosaurs.

What other book might you compare The Rider to and why?

The obvious comparisons are to Mr. Sigler's other works--so many now that he appropriately calls it the expanding collection his Siglerverse.

What does Scott Sigler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Sigler uses now uses voice actors such as Phil Gigante for some of his newer novels, but the GFL collection is and always will be recorded by Scott Sigler himself. The voices he uses for John Tweedy, Gredock, and other characters are as much part of the story as the words.

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

I listened to this book in a minimal number of sessions. Once the earbuds went in, I wanted to stay with the story until life forced an interruption.

Any additional comments?

Bravo! Now hurry up and release The Reef and the potentially last book of the GFL series.
