Larson provides compelling tales

Larson writes an action story that controls you to keep going. The only problem is that one you start on this book you will have a long wish list as it is not a short trilogy but an active series.

Good popcorn

What did you like most about Swarm?

Okay look, this series is great. It's not ever going to be classic literature or even classic sci-fi, but it's entertaining military sci-fi. It would actually make a great film or mini-series though.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Swarm?

I'm not going to spoil it, but so far I've listened to 5 books in this series, and I liked them all.

Have you listened to any of Mark Boyett’s other performances? How does this one compare?

The reader's calm confident voice captures the story well.

Any additional comments?

Some of the characters aside from the main character aren't really fleshed out. You could argue that this is because the main character just doesn't think about them all that much. I'd be interested to see a re-telling of this story from a female perspective though...

Don’t bother

This book is not up to the author’s usual standard. The narration is excellent but no one needs a polished turd.

elevate the mediocre because of happenstance

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Not a whole lot to be honest. The main character isn't smart, resourceful, or particularly charismatic. He just wants to be in charge and makes rookie decisions that for the sake of the story work out and make him look like a tactical genius.

What will your next listen be?

Don't know

Did Mark Boyett do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

I like him for the sci-fi story narrations, but the book just lacks a lot.

What character would you cut from Swarm?

The main character.

Any additional comments?

Not really, i managed to finish it but more because i didn't have anything to do.
