very cool book, but awful narration

I completely recommend this book to any hard sci-fi lovers, as always, Reynold's story was intriguing and very addictive.

But the narration... meh. I guess that the narrator has the impression, that if he makes some protagonists sound like mentally disabled people, this would make the story sound more appealing, but.... no. Totally overplayed and it was annoying to listen to such screwed voices, sometimes making me stop the book and collect the energy to start listening again. Another aspect was that sometimes the narrator would suddenly start speaking too quietly for no reason and this totally doesn't come in handy if you're traveling or just sitting in some louder place like a café. I would rather recommend buying this book recorded from another narrator (if such exists) or just reading it. This isn't worth the nerve.

Great Science Fiction, awesome KHS

It is a very intriguing story basically of a very successful African family in the 2100’s who try to uncover a secret. And there are elephants in there too! :-) highly recommend the audiobook, also because KHS is just such a good reader!

Nice story, thrilling development, great narrator

Mir hat das Hörbuch sehr gut gefallen! Schöne Geschichte, sehr spannend entwickelt und klasse Leser. Kann die negativen Einträge bezüglich seiner Lese- Art überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Auf nicht übertrieben Art bekommt jeder Charakter ein eigenes Gesicht und seine ruhige Art unterstützt die Spannung zusätzlich! Schade, dass die Folgebücher nicht mehr von Holdbrook-Smith gelesen wurden.
