2024 Audio Book Reviewer’s Awards - Best Narrators

"Hal Mason finds himself in the middle of a trade dispute between powerful Galactic factions that escalates into open warfare. Humanity, once again, proves its tendency to persevere. The authors, Craig Hamilton and Tao Wong, are gifted at world-building and maintaining a consistent flow of action. For a gamer, this is awesome as it reflects a game-like structure with detailed stats, riveting characters, and winnings. For a non-gamer, it is filled with action-riveting characters and narrative. The multiple challenges each character faces are intense and not guaranteed to win each time. This makes the storyline more engaging. The plot twists are unexpected and intriguing. They masterfully blend action, personality of characters, and stats in an engaging style. The narrator, Shamaan Casey, delivers a fascinating performance as he captures the essence of each character and the storyline accurately. His skill at providing a unique voice for each character allows the listener to follow smoothly. He is deliberate in his delivery, providing pauses and energy when appropriate to further enhance the story. I enjoy his performances. This is an amazing LitRPG listen as it is exciting and action-packed. One cannot help but keep listening! There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook." —AudioBookReviewer.com
