Brilliantly read and performed. One of the best.

I love getting the backstory and depth of the characters. Just grand. Now. I need to know what happens next

Superb story and reading

Revisado: 01-15-16

What does Kobna Holdbrook-Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His accents are incredible, he absolutely fits how I would envision the character speaking. He is a treasure.

Any additional comments?

Don't give me high school questions to answer for a "review" . I love this series, I love the reader, that is what I have to say.

Parker good as usual, reading quite adequate.

Revisado: 11-12-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you haven't tried Parker's Spencer novels, you should, The reading is quite apt for the tone of the books, and does not detract from the experience. Always a joy to enter this world.

Good book, terrible reading

Revisado: 11-12-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I have always loved Parker's Spencer novels. Sadly, this is read in a light, flat, inappropriate tone. Dialog can't be told from description, and it flows like a necessity, not with feeling. The story is, of course, good.

Building a good story to a great one

Revisado: 01-30-13

I love all of the Liaden titles, but this one is winding an amazing number of strands toward a grand climax. Theo's story could be stand alone, though having read the others deepens the background and adds to the richness. I have read them all in print, so my listening to Dragon Ship was a wonderful re-visit, and I felt all the same delight as on my first reading. I do find that listening to a book expands the book. One hears bits that the eye may skip over. The reading was very good, with just a couple of words that the reader was not familiar with. I always find that a bit jarring. They were not "strange" words from the Liaden Universe, rather normal English words. I eagerly await the next step in the overall plot, and heartily recommend this title.

Grand start for Liaden series

Revisado: 10-01-12

This is a grand book, with fascinating characters and delightful dialog. It is well read and the reader checked with the authors on pronunciation of alien words, so it flows nicely and un-annoyingly. It does require Crystal Soldier be read (listened to :) first. And from there I believe you will have to continue in the series to see what happens next, unless you are made of stone. I shan't give away plot. Science fiction /fantasy ( and this is a great blend) should speak for itself.

Brilliant Reading

Revisado: 08-29-12

To describe the "plots" would be impossible. But Neil Gaiman in the preface refers to the interview process for a reader, and I can only rave at the excellent choice. He can Read!
He can pronounce words correctly! Even foreign words! He can do intonations, semi-accents, and characterization. I am falling down in delight. And for this writing that is all absolutely necessary. Because Avram Davidson was a brilliant man, with an education seldom seen these days, and a very wry sense of humor/the ridiculous.

Not her best

Revisado: 07-09-12

Had forgotten (read this in paper once) that this is a mediocre book character-wise. This is not helped by the fact that something about the reader's tonality sets me a bit on edge. I actually stopped half-way into the book, because instead of being supporting it was aggravating. I regret saying this, but it is true. The data is fascinating, but buried in strange character behavior and dialogue.

disappointment at abridgement

Revisado: 10-15-11

I have seldom been so upset. I foolishly did not notice the "abridged", so my fault. But to so truncate and destroy the plot and characterization of a book that is not so very long to begin with is unconscionable. I am so glad I did not purchase more of her books, if they are all so clipped and tattered as this one. Shame on the publisher. Shame.
The narration however was quite good. As is the book , of course. One of my very favorites. I am hoping to find it read unabridged somewhere.
