Story
A serial kidnapper is on the loose in a small town in Maine, targeting wealthy women and demanding a huge ransom in bitcoin for their safe return. When his latest victim’s husband claims that he can’t come up with the money, the word “deadline” takes on a disturbingly literal meaning. The local police are out of their depth, but Colter Shaw takes the lead in the investigation. Soon, he’s using his survivalist instincts to uncover clues and pursue suspects, putting his own life on the line to catch the would-be killer before the countdown hits zero.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Fantastic Film like Adventure with humor & wit.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I really enjoyed The Starling Project, the actors voices brought me many places and I was never confused on who was speaking, which can happen sometimes. The sound effects were perfect too and the book travels to many countries and venues. It was so smooth. I finished wanting to know and listen more. I also got a kick out of some characters and their joking around which brought lightness to an intense suspense drama. Great sexy scene too, mild not over the top like some either, polite sexyness. Five star for sure!
What other book might you compare The Starling Project to and why?
I would actually compare this one to films I have seen, if I shut my eyes, like
many of the Jason Bourne, Bond, Oceans 11 type films. There is added humor that fits the characters and war flash backs and current technical jargon and scenarios . Also a bit like an Agatha Christie novel where you keep switching who you think the bad guy, or guys are. I won't give away anything!
Which character – as performed by Alfred Molina and full cast – was your favorite?
Alfred for sure, sexy and debonair. I liked the various women, the cop who liked Bouillabaisse and the British chap. I'd have to go back to remember the names of who I really liked. I was happy that the book kept me remembering who was who with the specific actors being so very clear so, I really didn't have to remember all the names. I will listen to it again and report more, sometime.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Current world Hi Tech adventure with great characters that pull you in deeper to a story that keeps surprising you.
Any additional comments?
Slick with heart

Good Cast and Refreshing Delivery
Where does The Starling Project rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Can't really call it an audiobook as it's more like an audio drama, or a thriller spy film with the picture turned off. That said, I love audio drama even more than audio books. This doesn't disappoint.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Can you beat Alfred Molina? Middleton always stays calm and collected and one step ahead of the baddies. Plus the rest of the "Volunteers" flesh out a dynamic team.
Which scene was your favorite?
The bank heist, and the jungle standoff.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Middleton's love for Tadic is pretty touching.
Any additional comments?
Love to hear more! There's gotta be a sequel.

Meh...
Amazing audio production quality, probably the best sounding audio book I've heard to date but unfortunately the plot is mostly fluff. It is is pretty much a rip off of the old mission impossible TV series, with a modern slant to it. Plenty of action, but not a lot of substance to back it up.

dramatization made it harder to listen to
, with lots of extra background noise, sound effect, heavy accents and garbled or staticy voices over phone lines and radios

Bit Corny - and not a book
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Mildly entertaining in the way that watching a B-grade TV movie is, but not really satisfying. As someone else has said; not a book - again think of an overacted TV movie with the vision off. Also at just over 4 hours not great value either.

Good Story LOUD Sound Effects
Would you consider the audio edition of The Starling Project to be better than the print version?
No the print version has to be better. Opinion: A well written story doesn't need sound effects.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I'd prefer a "no sound effects" version.
What about Alfred Molina and full cast ’s performance did you like?
The acting was fine.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
The audio book would be about thirty to sixty minutes shorter without the sound effects between spoken words.

I like the idea but the characters were very corny & unconvincing. The bad acting and worse accents were very distracting.

Production value - OK. Direction and editing - bad
The good:
Fast paced convoluted story.
Voice acting is excellent, apart from the character with the "upper class English fop" accent.
Likable characters.
Sound and production value is good.
The bad:
Actors are "speedreading" their lines during conversations. As soon as one character finish speaking, the next one IMMEDIATELY delivers his/her line. No pauses whatsoever between speakers. No real life conversation flows like that. It's a typical bad theater and radio drama flaw, that annoys me no end. With a better director or editor this could have avoided. Too bad the director is also the editor...
Again and again utilizes the cheap trick of hiding things from the reader, for dramatic effect.
The ending.
