The story, like many others in this genre… gets overshadowed by meteocre writing. A classic example of telling the reader how everyone feels, what they are thinking, etc… instead of showing. “curiosity laced her voice” is not a good way of telling us that she is curious. in what way is her voice inflected, or..

I only finished this book to get to the ones read by Mark Boyett. the performance on this book…. PAINFUL.

Not a bad choice, but I didn’t feel compelled to continue with the series. Scottish accents and women’s vices are not the reader’s best skills and I played the book slightly sped up but otherwise well read. The story has some originality but I enjoyed it significantly less then Vaughn Heppner’s other works.

As i have gone through the Series I think I am more invested in Finn’s story because his character growth seems a little more significant than Jason and his companions I think have more emotion than Jason’s and seeing the relationship between him and Julia grow as he realizes how he has acted has been..
This is definitely an above average Cthulhu mythos collection.

First, Captain Matics is..

Each character (major and minor) was wonderfully fleshed-out, and the pacing of the book excellent. The narrator really brought the characters to..

I enjoyed the story not the narration. The overall performance was inconsistent. The male voices were okay at best.There were inconsistencies with the female character voices.
Review from The Lost Starship →
Poorly written books can be saved by really good narration. This audiobook had neither. There is potential for a good story here, but the writing was repetitive and predictable, the characters were 2 dimensional, and the history of this universe needed a bit more development. The narration was monotone. I almost turned it off after..
Review from The Lost Starship →
MC is an arrogant moron who thinks he’s abnormally intelligent and capable. The rest of the species (read: the author’s/book’s universe) agrees. ..On the intelligent and capable part, not the arrogant moron part. It never comes up and so I honestly am not sure if it was intentional or not. The tech, tactics, and general..
