In this short story this narrator gave Ben Hope a very different voice than the other books which, for me, sadly completely changed the tone of the lead character …

Short but not bad

Having already listened to all of the Ben Hope novels, I decided to try these short stories. This is a very decent prequel to the series.
I do prefer the other later narrators (Colin Mace & Will Ryctoft), and as with the other short story & more so in this one, the narrator (L Pugh), makes Ben Hope sound like a rasping unfeeling nutter ... which he isn’t... Only personal preference I guess.

Good short story

Not at all up to Scott Mariani normal (Ben Hope) standard.
Colin Mace is the best Performer as Ben Hope.

Ben Hope books are great regardless of the length, I wouldn't buy a short story so it's a great free book. Like others I think the narrator doesn't do justice to Ben but 90% of the other titles are narrated by a better person. You have to know these books to know there is an element of science fiction to some but kind of far fetched credible as well. Great book recommended.

Another Great Short Story
