oh hell yes I enjoyed this program!

Revisado: 03-03-23

I rely on Audible and I devour sci-fi books here. This is the creative and original hard sci-fi I need. No magic bullets, no magic warp drives, no magic AI, no magic... magic. Grounded and fleshy and intense series so far. I am literally downloading the Armageddon while I type this review.

This is a mostly fun beginning to a sci-fi epic.

Revisado: 09-15-22

I instantly appreciated the author's dedication to non-standard approaches to common sci-fi tropes. We recognize the unavoidable spacey problems and situations but really get to indulge in a first-time unfolding of contexts like a starving man who's invited to a legendary chef's home kitchen for a feast. I'll be putting my upcoming credits toward this series so long as the author spoils my sci-fi palette so. My one complaint is performer. Bless him, but it's clear the man has never been in a science classroom or met a Marine or a swabby, army dog, chair force desk jockey nor even a coastie in his life. mispronunciation was frequent and distracting. Am I being a big baby? Maybe, but I know how to say my own rank and that made one of us. Enjoyable story nonetheless.

Down to earth and easy on F1 noobs

Revisado: 08-11-22

These three are feeling the pulse of F1. I learned so much in these first 3 episodes. As a new F1 and Donut fan, this is what I need in my ear at work. Fun, silly, informative.

maybe best for teenagers

Revisado: 02-09-22

It is written for youth readers. I would recommend against this book if you have an engineering or physics or literature background. rather infuriating.

Finally a fresh, simple scifi.

Revisado: 12-08-21

Not every book needs to try to start a "cinematic universe". Refreshing break; well told tale. Current meta and tropes avoided and we got a fantastic story with a satisfying conclusion. Thank you. Well done.

pretty dang good

Revisado: 11-10-21

The story was fun, rich, and inventive. It's a shame right near the end we got a standard cliche "his power nearly exhausted" after one thing despite spending the last third of the story telling us and showing us inexhaustible psychic power. always a buzz kill when the author chooses a really lazy trope in an attempt to build tension at the right time. Still, pretty good story.

Audibles most "meh" scifi

Revisado: 10-07-21

Pro tip 1) don't write about the military if you have zero clue about the military. This can offend us vets if it's clear you didn't even try to learn.
Pro tip 2) don't narrate a story if you don't understand how words work. it is very distracting hearing mispronounced words in common usage every few minutes. Just don't.

Such a touching story about familt

Revisado: 09-13-21

This is my second David Gerrold book and it definitely will not be my last. As a former combat vet who grew up in the Corps, raised in a fundamentalist christian family, I had no idea who I was until I was in my thirties. That paradigm shift was painful as I'd been forced to confront my own ignorance and hypocrisy with open eyes. The author's words were a comfort hearing a similarly tough journey and reminding me this is what life is, in some shape or form, for everyone. This book is a fantastic journey of loss, pain, healing and love that really hits you in the feels. Thanks David, for sharing a wonderful piece of your family. Those of us without one appreciate hearing families filled with love and hope.

good story, I guess.

Revisado: 07-08-21

Good story, I guess. I can't image a lot of folks really cared what the dead semi traitor had for a backstory, but cool whatever, it was well written. Narrators though, seems to never have known anyone from the military. It's distracting and a bit cringeworthy to have common vocab for us, mispronounced by civilians to all the listeners of the books. I.e. corpsman isn't pronounced "corpse-man" and those hard-charging swabbies having patched holes in my old Marine Corps butt (not pronounced "corpse" either) so many times, deserve to to be honored correctly.
