Some wondered if he was the walking dead, an immortal soul who had lived many lifetimes over, because his skill and power exceeded earthly restraints. Kronos, they called him. The father of the gods.

rather predictable
The story line becomes rather predictable. performance is OK but all voices are the same making it rather unclear at moments who is speaking and not giving the already weak characters any real personality. It also barely counts as Sci-Fi, just using the concept of alien abduction as a pretext for the story .

What a waste of time
This story never really went anywhere. Very boring story. Narration was poor. No character differences so hard to follow. Also very little vocal inflection. Made an already boring story, hard to listen to. Probably should have given up on it but couldn’t believe the story would just never lift off.

Surprisingly good!
I kept wondering if there were aliens or weren't right up till the end of the book. Nice way to keep the suspense going. I'm not even 100% sure right now what really happened, but if it could've been aliens then it definitely was.

A wonderful retelling of a strange event that occurred 20 years ago. The haunting memories of a young woman coincide with a trip to a childhood lake side cabin where stories of strange lights and missing people are more that just stories to those who've seen them.

Clouds over cloud lake...
Honestly, I may not be the ideal person to review this, as the concepting and execution are irritating. The endless riffing on clothes, hair, and attitudes may be entertaining to some, but not me. The story arc meanders wanders and ultimately was fulfilling. It's not bad per se, just not compelling in many ways. I have listened to other offerings from this author in the past, and I honestly have to note that this is not one of the better ones.
Likely recommended by fans of this author, but it wasn't for me.
