I was not expecting to be so engaged with the characters and the story.

And then…plot twist caught me by surprise. Nice job.

Great narration that kept my attention with no repetitious annoyances. The narrator represented male and female characters in a great way without going overboard. The narrator has a nice mellow, even tone and style. I really liked it.

It was entertaining- lacked details and many blatant tech omissions- so if you want hard science fiction or space battle or any details other than entertaining storyline, you might not like this book.
I am still trying to get over how planning to travel inner space to determine nature of UFO - aliens vs meteor - and upon arrival-no Geiger counter made the trip.

I just can’t keep waiting for something to happen… I’m 7 hours in and exhausted just plodding along without conflict or action.
I’m not sure there’s enough sci-fi at this point to justify categorizing it as sci-fi. The sci fi so far just been a method of getting to another time in history.

Well, I’m in between credits and refused to support any free book that uses VIRTUAL VOICES. I chose this genre as a light listen and something to occupy my mind.

I’m not usually into detective or street work type genres. I like a lot of action and typically am mainly sci-fi or post apocalypse reader.

This book really pulled me in with the main characteristics and narrators smooth yet perfect balance of inflection to create mindset and humor.

This has been an engaging and humorous read while working through a serious storyline.

Oh God, I guess I’m gonna get into back street stories after all.

Dammit man, Now this is what I needed! What a trip. I thoroughly enjoyed this creative and original story. Incredible imagination and seamless transition throughout.
And then you add this narrator? He took a great story and elevated it to another level. Brought it all to life and pulled me right in there with the characters. Excellent closure as well. I will be pulling this one out again for a second read in the future.

This was a very unusual book. It didn’t really flow. The storyline was somewhat immature and the narrator was too much.

Only 15 hours to go… sigh this book could have been so much better. The military angle was so weak. from soldiers arguing with their captain to some civilian female schoolteacher chastising them while they strategize because they’re arguing. So they stop? Oh, and the captain carrrying a desert Eagle in a hip holster. I’m not military, but even I was rolling my eyes.
Who are these people and why are the military people so wrapped up in their feelings. I’m Not digging the googly eyed captain and his feelings. Not a fan- but the narrator was fine.

Full disclosure- I couldn’t finish. Weird tone of casual attitude and bland banter. I ran out of patience, waiting for something interesting to happen.

Long slog to get to the end of story. Overall tame storyline and weak closure. The narrator was perfect for the storyline- tame.
Glad it was free.

Overall, this story was fine. I did appreciate that it wasn’t only growling predictable, zombies and zombie behavior. However, I never really felt like I knew the characters and none of them stood out as particularly special. The story took a lot of different directions and seemed disjointed at times. it did not flow well to me. Fortunately, the narrator did his best to keep it from getting to monotonous and keep it engaging. I bought the three pack series for one credit. There is not enough substance to justify giving up a credit on any just one of the three books.
