Critic reviews

• Audie Award Finalist, Science Fiction, 2005

"Thrilling....Crackling with energy and buzzing with action." (Publishers Weekly)

Loved the book, but the narrator....

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The Narrator. He was awful and made a five star book into a three star book by his performance alone.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rolinda Kett. She's flamboyant and interesting.

Would you be willing to try another one of George Guidall’s performances?

No. It does not seem as though this narrator even bothered to read or listen to the previous books. He butchers the characters names (based on how the previous narrator pronounced them), reads the book like he obviously has NO connection to the story, and reads in a boring monotone. If you can't sleep, forget Ambien, listen to this guy and take care of that problem. The voice overs were OK, but did not make up for all of his mispronunciations. For example, the compies. It was clearly stated in the earlier books that their names were two letters (E.A., NOT E-ah, G.U., NOT Goo). Not to mention all of the other butchered names (Tassia is pronounced Tah-sia, NOT Tay-sia). I certainly hope they get rid of this guy in future volumes. If the story was not so epic and good, I would have bagged this book.

Was Horizon Storms worth the listening time?

The story is just what I like. It's the narrator that sucks.

Any additional comments?

PLEASE BRING BACK THE FIRST NARRATOR.

Love George Guidall

Where does Horizon Storms rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

About the middle

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I like each book to have a ending, not leave you hangi

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He lets me see the story

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Incomplete Series

Was really getting into this series. Many parallel interlocking plots. Problem is that the who series is about 9 books but Audible only has the first three. So just as I was getting into it, I went to download the next and guess what, not available on Audible. Of note, it exists in audio as it is listed on Amazon.

How many books does it take?

OK granted I love the books 1 through 3 but honestly how many books does it take before finishing a story? I see on the web-site from the author that already 3 books more are lined up. I really don't like stories which carry over so many books. Can an author not just finish a story and write a new one? I would give it a 5 if the story was done now but as it is only 3 stars for an extrem long story.

did collaci listen to the other books

David colacci I am.sory to say infuriates me reading this. I loved the other books. now I have to deal with a lazy reader who tries to make two letter designation into a name. he says ea the robot said as long e long a. eeeeah. it is awful. he also changed the pronunciation of several other key characters. jorah and osirah he now emphasizes the ah on everything. please listen to the previous narrator and continue the same pronunciation. this is what I hate about reading a long series when they change reader. change reader I won't care but all pronunciation needs to remain the same for continuity sake. we can't read the word and always make the connection that your being a tool reading a word wrong.
