A book as exciting as enjoyable as 08th M.S. team!

I loved the audio book! The different characters, tactics, and mecha all combined together into an awesome story!

It’s not bad

The story is good so far but I can’t get over the fact that your narrator has about 3-4 ways to differentiate between all the characters (meaning a lot of the chat sets sound the same), that and the fact that he sounds way too much like Duffman from the Simpson and a Native American chieftain with way too much monotone

It not bad once you get over the narrator's voice.

Since I read half the book before getting the audio book I could follow it better. The book tends to jump between both sides during the same scene/actions. Some details are a bit of a stretch considering the previous war they reference is 2112 and the planet Mars is already terraformed. If you can get beyond listening to the deep "Boston" accent, the narration is not that bad. It actually lightens up towards the end and you can hear more distinct attempt at different voices.

Could not get past the narrator

Fighting Mecha is my thing and had read ads saying this book was chock full of military action. I just could not get past the narrator though. Not much inflection and a low grating voice. Had to give up 20 minutes in.

Start to finish

From the beginning, it held my interest and by the end I was craving more thankfully there is. I recommend this to any fans of Battletech, Titanfall, Gundam, Heavy Gear and mecha in general.
