Der mit der größten Kanone

Zum Ende des dreiteiligen spannenden Epos wird klassische vorherrschende Politik in die Geschichte umgesetzt, also der mit der größten Kanone. ... es ist auch nicht ganz schlüssig das einige Aliennationen ihre eigenen Stämme opfern um die Erde zu retten, wohl aber dass viele auf der Erde die eigenen Interessen vor das aller gehen lassen.

Great!!!

Awesome book, that is impossible to put down and the perfect narrator for this book. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Author gave up in the last book

Author used to deus ex machina to solve the plot in the end. Main characters were discarded with lame and ridiculous plots.
Endless political bickering and a lack of ingenuity and fantasy made this book a lackluster and infuriating experience to suffer trough. I would like to tell the author that he can get fucked! Also building more resonance domes on earth? wtf.. He could have gone and created a bunch of van Neumann probes and use exponential scale, but nooo. stupidness ensues

Interesting story let down by poor writing

I enjoyed the story, particularly in the first book. However, it declined during the second and became simply mediocre in the last, mostly because there wasn't much story being told to begin with.
But the real issue is the writing; while at least passable in the first book, it got downright awful the further in I got, to the point where I actually struggled to keep listening.
The story lost it's focus completely and every time some already very familiar piece of technology was mentioned, the Author felt it necessary to yet again fall into a minutes long recounting of just how awesome said technology was.
The repetitive phrasing made this even more unbearable, and by the end the only reaction it provoked from this reader was a jaded "well, here he goes again..."

There was potential for more interesting side-stories, some of which were only mentioned in a single sentence as an afterthought, others criminally under-explored.

As it stands, the third book is pretty bad and so is the ending.

Throughout all books, R.C. Bray delivers a solid narration that makes it easy to tell characters apart, often with not necessarily authentic, but believable accents. No criticism here.


The bottom line is:
This might make a nice movie trilogy, it's focused on action, lacks any particular depth and you won't have to read the Author trying too hard to elevate a machine being a machine into some sort of poetry, which only serves to highlight the lack of any real story to tell for increasingly larger parts of his books.

unfassbar gut!

Hoffentlich wird es weitere Trilogien von diesem Autor geben die in diesem Universum spielen.
Der Sprecher zog mich auch noch einmal tiefer in die Geschichte ein.

Not as good as the first two books, unfortunately

Narrator excellent as always, unfortunately the story lacks the suspense of the first two books. The time line covered in the book is far greater and therefore the details are lacking.

It was at times a struggle to keep going

Loved 1, liked 2, and had to force 3

Struggled to finish hits it on the head. After the first two books this was way too long, losing itself on too many side stories. The main one kept me in though.

Boring!

It feels like the book was meant to be 4 hours long, streched to the length it finally has. I quit it after about eight long boring ours, because I couldn't keep listening.

Perry Rhodan meets the 6 Million Dollar Man

... Part 3 : If you ever think it could not get worse, it can.
This book feels like he had a contract to fill, to turn in three sequels.
It is hard to bear,
Very slow beginning.. the universe he draws, it still lacks depth.
The whole book seems to be written to be long and to climax in the ultimate fight to end this.

There are some interesting sidelines, but he seems not to be able to not let them feel like loose ends.
Althoug one special sideline gives this story some of the feeling of SciFi and that part IS good, in the end it reveals itself as the key to the whole story line.
And WHEN this starts to work out, he gets blurry, makes a massive error, just to keep them characters alive and no one will believe it.

Now the real drop shows off, the book STOPS, simply dead end.
Three lines to conclude it all.

Nothing about possible future developments, what might become of his characters, he COULD have opened a door for a further sequel, but he simply slammed it SHUT.

I am sitting here contemplating how I shall describe how I feel about this.
Where the two previous sequels had had their share of fun to me, this one, I don't know, i AM disapointed.
Full stop.

Generally: Mr Moss tried to hop on the train, which was so intellegently started by Cixin Liu, but he fell off the cab.

The reader, Mr Bray, does his acustomed good job.
