About this listen

The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022. A sequence of gigantic solar flares created a series of massive electromagnetic pulses that stopped the heart of our modern world and returned us to the Dark Ages. Tens of thousands died within the first few hours as airplanes fell from the skies, hospitals ceased to work, and every form of modern transportation ground to a halt. Within days the death toll had reached the hundreds of thousands. Fires raged unchecked through the cities, water supplies ran out and survivors turn on each other as mob rule surpassed all else.

And Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Nathaniel Hogan finds that he has been changed by the huge amounts of gamma radiation in the solar flares. They have enhanced his natural abilities, giving him increased speed, strength, and healing; indefinitely extending his life span and enabling him to be able to draw on the power of the solar flares to create magik. Making him - The Forever Man. But even The Forever Man was not prepared for what happened next.

I love books by Craig Zerf, he writes a cracking story and interesting characters, but the quality of narration on this audiobook really lets it down. Michael Neeb has the world's worst Irish accent (the priest) and seems unable to pronounce many simple English words.

I like Craig Zerf's books ...

I really wanted to enjoy this but the narrator is not suited to this at all.

he pronounces words badly, for instance he say Basil as the Americans do for the plant when the word is the name Basil as in Basil Rathbone.

I cannot get over how badly the narrator pronounces so many normal English words, it gets quite silly at times. He say remet instead of remit. Just a very few examples out of soooo many, atrocious mis-speakings, is that even a word ?.

His ability with accents is, not good to say the least. Fyi, just speaking in a high pitch is not an Irish accent.

Would not listen to anything with this narrator again, sorry.

Good story, shame about the narration

Story is fine, but only 5 hours for a credit is expensive. Also the narrator's Irish and British accents are poor, which is disappointing given that the book is set in the UK.

Fine Story, but Poor Value
