Story
Many millennia ago, humans, including us, were seeded on 15 worlds by an alien race, the Airlia. We believe we evolved, but the reality is we were bred as cannon fodder for the Airlia’s interstellar war against the Swarm, a viral race whose only mission appears to be the obliteration of sentient life wherever encountered. On some worlds humans realized the truth about their origins, uncovered their hidden alien overlords, and rebelled.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

bad bad bad
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This book was painful to say the least, I have listened to twenty five books this fall and this one was not worth the time it took to hear it.
What didn’t you like about Martin Gollery’s performance?
Martin gollery needs to find another line of work he is NOT audible.com quality. My nine year old son reads better.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Both anger and disappointment. Anger for having spent money on trash and disappointment in audible for selling trash. Did anyone review this book before you started to sell it.

Read the book instead
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The reader was horrible. A good (or maybe even just competent) narrator could have done much more for this book.
Would you recommend The Rock to your friends? Why or why not?
No. Painful to listen too.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Martin Gollery?
Scott Brick would have done this story well.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. The story is somewhat interesting, but the bad narration was so distracting it was hard to concentrate on the story.

the absolute worst voice performance.
What disappointed you about The Rock?
The vocal performance was terrible.it was read as if the guy was just worried about enunciating.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Jane Austen.
What didn’t you like about Martin Gollery’s performance?
Wooden. Staccato. Flat affect. Didn't edit mispronounced and stumbled words. He just corrected himself and went on. No emotion. No voice change for dialog or characterization. If I ever am tempted to purchase an audiobook and discover it's performed by Martin Gollery, I will firmly decide NOT to buy it.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Rock?
I didn't finish listening. It was too painful. The story failed to compensate for the performance shortcomings.
Any additional comments?
I'm sorry I bought it.

Narration is everything in an audiobook
Although the story is interesting with several surprising twists, I didn't care for the narration at all. Mr Gollery has a monotonous voice with very little emotional content and an over-emphasis on speak-ing-each-word-dis-tinct-ly. Perhaps he was told to read the words as though he was a soldier reading a dispatch. If so, he followed his instructions very well, much to the detriment of the suspense of the story.

However the narrator made it hard to listen to at times. Australian accents can't be faked and Australian Indigenous accents definitely cant.
