Underrated

Great thought provoking book. It's an exploration of the nature of heroism, violence and excellence. When you come face-to-face with true excellence, do you meet it with admiration, envy, jealousy, or resentment?
The narrator is excellent as well.

just as good as reading it

I always loved this book, and was worried that an audio version would never match it. I was wrong. it was enthralling.

Absolute crispiness. Great read, lots of action, aliens and hecking space pirates. What more do you want!

well worth

Great book with an excellent perfomance as well. Went in expecting some old school gritty / schlocky sci fi about space marines, but got a really engaging and thought provoking tale with some great themes that still doesnt skimp on the action.

Worth your time

This book was a worth the listen, the proformace of the narrator was engaging even through the more boring parts of the book.

The story gets stuck in the middle and I found some parts really confusing. if you get past all of this though you are left with a story that will make you smile at the end of it.

I hope you enjoy this book if you give it a listen. Have a good day and enjoy life

As imagined

I read the paper back some years back before revisiting in this medium. The book is fantastic, one of my all time favourites. A rich and fulfilling story, with action a plenty, a deep reflective note and a satisfying twist. I only wish the author had written more.

The audio book was equally excellent. The narration, the performance, it took me back to the first reading. It was exactly as i had imagined, not an easy feat. The narrator was well matched. The pace, rhythm, ebb and flow equally well matched to story line.

Do your self a favour... sit back, be still, and listen.

Great story

Gritty characters and a great underlying story. Loved it.

Nice to see something a little less fluffy than many books out there.

Loved it

A great read from start to finish with plenty of character development. Good to have a full story in one audiobook.
