Review from Dead Air →
It is always a pleasure to have a new Silence Jones action thriller to listen to, and I can say that this newer one in the series (book 5) was just as good as the others, if not a bit better. If you have had the chance to listen to any of them, I would..
Review from True Conviction →
I think one of my favorite parts about picking books based on narrators as much as authors is that I end up finding books that I love that remind me of other books. Gary Bennett is one of my favorite narrators, and I’ve been particularly enjoying another assassin story from him when this one popped..
The story is good; I love the mix of sci-fi and magic and the storytelling overall is decent. It does lack in making me care a ton about the characters, partially on the narrator but yeah no crazy character depth.
Review from The Ministry for the Future →
It was so bad that I didn’t even get a quarter way into the book. Save a credit unless you’d like to be tortured by poor narration.

One of my favorite books of all time. I appreciated the multiple narrators which gave it the feel of a radio drama. Reading the book would feel different.

Review from Zee Locked In →
I suppose the performance is pretty good. The mcs obsession with every single female in the game is either disgusting creepy or stupid, depending on the chapter. if I could remove every time he interacts with a female but then I could also say that about the story. stat block chart reading isn’t done well..
The main characters are always so clueless. They never make the leap in logic that is clearly and visibly there. It’s been the same for 7 books. At some point context clues have to come into play in their minds. It’s slightly frustrating. The story other than their inability to make logical leaps is enjoyable.
I liked the story, but I wish the memories would have played out in life not in memories but overall I would say the story was good narration could have used a little work, but I would still listen to a sequel, if there was one
An interesting listen with a different take on magic, technology, and alien society. Take a just slightly ahead modern era man, drop him into a new galaxy where slavery and magic run the world’s. Then sit back and watch him try to shovel his way out. The biggest negative of the book was the narrator..
