good story, some confusing unexplained details

Revisado: 02-28-25

Was magenta a creature that "contained" multiple aliens in one body? The author refers to magenta as they or them repeatedly. was there some explanation I missed or is it just a strange word choice for an individual that the author used? it had me scratching my head for sure. Otherwise the book was very good.

criminals posing as detectives

Revisado: 12-22-24

a couple people go around deciding which crimes to participate in and which of their employers to scam. kind of got old after the third episode. decent narration. also it's not really a podcast, it's more of a novel with episodes instead of chapters.

Good book

Revisado: 10-25-24

Despite being heavily sprinkled with California extremism throughout, the story is entertaining. Also, the protagonist clearly behaves much in the same way as Joe Bishop from his other series. Except for the name, they are the same character inserted into a different scenario.

Enjoyable adaptation of 1984

Revisado: 05-03-24

Although the book is set in England, it seems more like it was written as an indictment of the Democratic party in the United States of America. Scary parallels, for sure. It's hard to believe it was written 75 years ago.

Not great, save your money for a better book

Revisado: 05-17-23

Not sure why audible has this listed as hard sci-fi. This isn't. It's about aliens on mars, or their leftovers. It's full of absurd pseudoscience. It moves so slow that it was a real drag to listen to this. If the author could have consolidated the story into a single book it it might have been better. The narrator was pretty good but only just.

Can't say I'd recommend this to anyone.

terrible distractions ruined this story.

Revisado: 10-31-22

The story is chock full of left wing political rhetoric. So much rhetoric that it ruined what otherwise might have been a good story. I'm glad it was a freebie!

good but not great

Revisado: 10-24-22

the story is fairly entertaining although frustrating. all six books end with no resolution and that gets old. it's almost hunting after book six a there is an included afterward immediately after you find out there is no resolution to the original conflict... again at least the narrator is excellent.

Good story narrated by an excellent narrator

Revisado: 07-06-22

this book, like many in the genre starts very slowly in a post Apocalyptic wasteland. if you can stick with it, the story gets quite good. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

meh gets old almost instantly

Revisado: 07-06-21

someone curated a collection of news summaries. gets boring pretty quick. it's like a subreddit being read aloud.

Wheaton fail

Revisado: 06-25-21

this is weird to say because I'm a huge Wheaton fan. the narration isn't good. Kind of ruined it for me. luckily this book is now free, so I'm not mad.

also for some reason I was expecting hard science fiction
then the author starts talking about ox tox at 70% o2. ugh what nonsense. that gives you a ppo2 around 0.0042 and even 1.00 is survivable pretty much indefinitely. in short, this story is entertaining but it wouldn't be less scientifically accurate if Skippy the magnificent turned up.
