(4 stars)

I can't seem to hear the last half of the last chapter I've tried 15 times I'm done I'm very unhappy with how this is worked out it just stops and then the review page jumps up and like it thinks I'm finished listening or something I don't understand it I'm done with it

Wonderful


(5 stars)

Excellent story vintage scifi, Richard wonderfully read, expression, wit and a real feel for the characters!

fascinating view of the past


(3 stars)

Reading this you can understand the events of the late 20th century I guess, the attitude being that the path to peace is through and arms race and genocide. I guess some people still think that way. I didn’t so much enjoy the long passages explaining fictional science and the “oh we just invented a new device to get us out of the jam we are in” plot holes. Madness, but well read and it kept my attention well.

Mostly entertaining.


(3.5 stars)

The story for the most part is fun and entertaining, but at times the author gets "very deep in the weeds" in hypothetical/theoretical fiction, which can be interesting to a point, but usually goes to the point of the absurd which boggs the story down. Richard is a great reader and does a good job.

absolutely wonderful!!!
