Not the best in the series, but fun

OK, you have to take what you get here from the renowned team of Golemon and Poe. There were some editing/continuity problems in the story that were irksome and kept reoccurring, and some themes were repeated over and over.
Frankly, this series is starting to run its course, and although I find some of the concepts fascinating, the wilder they get the less I am buying into the concepts.
That said, Poe does his usual powerful storytelling, and on balance I would say it is nominally recommended, but only for true fans of the Event Group.

Couldn't stop listening

This was one of those books that was very difficult to put down. Really seems like the author did an outstanding job of making the book jump to life. Reading was great, can't wait to look at more from the series.

As Good as Cussler's Dirk Pitt

Completing this latest Event Group adventure, I now enter that frustrating period of "waiting for the next one...?"

While each adventure is self-contained, knowing the characters as they develop adds so much. I strongly suggest reading in chronological order.

Easiest comparison of Golemon's Event Group led by Col. Jack Collins is Clive Cussler's original NUMA Files with Dirk Pitt. Yes, such stories do take on an easily detected formula... SO WHAT! ... OK, Maybe Cussler's Oregon Files too w/ Juan Cabrillo. Heck.... I liked'ed all.

Well.......

Not bad. I must admit this book is an improvement over the last one. There are aspects to these stories involving time travel and/or dimensional travel that seem to fall to the way side. Granted the idea is for the action/adventure aspect of the story, but time could be spent more into the “other world”. Give people a greater view into these places and people that have been created. Could make the story more interesting.

A great Event Group story!

I think it's a really good story. I also like Mr. Poe's narration. Thanks.

Another Great Book in the Series

Great story and continuation/development in the series. Golemon really knows how to write so that I feel like I am in the middle of it. Richard Poe does an outstanding job of performing, if you will allow the term

Golemon writing breaks the universe

I would have given this 5 stars if not for the audio problems threw out the book where sometimes it sounded great but start to sound muffled and in early chs the narrator when he said the name of ships he made them sound really loud and when he spoke in the third person perspective he sounded abit quiet. Then there was the parts in the story with with how the authour didn't explain how Russians trained the pirates, he also could have used sound effects for explosions but used the word version for them that got annoying, and finally he didn't give the humanoids of that other world any sound to go with there languages that it made fill like the author was being lazy instead of giving the read abigger expression of there world to the listener.

A sputtering series.

This series is losing steam. Attempting to increase it's scope it is becoming dull. Hopefully the next one will remain in a dimension.
