Great story horrible narration.

The story was great!

The narration by Joseph Campanella was horrible. He spoke with a soft voice throughout the whole story. I it was very annoying.

Somewhat. predictable.

I was given the Cassandra Contract , which I read and enjoyed. So I downloaded 4 Cover One novels. I started with this as it is first in the series. I thought the story was predictable and a bit slower. However, I look forward to trying another Covert One novel.

Orator is TERRIBLE

I’m not sure I’m going to be able to get through this whole book. It’s no reflection on the writing, but the guy doing the reading sounds like he’s talking through a broken nose. I have a hard time just understanding what he’s saying as he mumbles his way through. I have to turn the volume way up, then he suddenly yells and blows my ears out.
