I’m not familiar with both Jake Bible’s books, but have indulged in other works narrated by Andrew Wehrlen, which prompted me to give this a chance.
Andrew has a commanding voice and varies tone for the characters. As another reviewer pointed out, he has a talent to glaze over the continuous stream of “said”.
Outpost Hell was a futuristic military sci fi horror? Again, not a theme I usually drool for or support, but it kept my attention and was written rather well for my novice naiveté limited knowledge to folow along and enjoy.
The world building was solid enough for this book. It was light and not too scientific. (I think that’s why I’m not too crazy about this genre. Not many authors balance it well and offer too much details and explanations.)
The characters were well grounded and developed. Another carrot dangling in front of me, to entice me to stay with it.
The unraveling of the secrets of the planet and the climax was very satisfying.
This author has mostly zombie series under his belt, which I usually avoid like the plague – or undead virus. BUT this narrator seems to have teamed with him on several other books.
I would recommend this book, with the AI, its ‘not leftovers for dinner’ and electrical storms.
