I don’t really have a lot to say I guess I read too many books I feel like I’m repeating myself reviews. This was the. 4th and possibly best of The XeeLee Sequence. It’s hard to say that because each of the four books is so very different feel like a series normally feels such differences in the characters from one to the next. Regardless, it was quite an interesting book.

if I'd known this is what this series was leading to I would tell you just don't bother. It all feels like it's building towards something but it does not. series gets rebooted years later and the audible reader after this is unbearable. I went from bring quite interested in his universe to deciding I will never recommend stephen baxter to anyone

hard to overstate my disappointment

the narrator on this book is woefully bad. the different character voices are the worst I've heard. it's totally ruined listening to this book, which I will buy as a soft back.

the narrator is key, absolutely. I find This author has chosen badly with their narrators on a few books. I won't be buying more.

Narration utterly dreadful - avoid
