This must become an epic TV or movie series. When it happens RC Bray must be the voice of skippy.

I love this series and book 10 blew away my expectations! Thank you R.C. Bray for doing your awesome work with the voices that brings Craig Alanson’s story to life. Can’t wait until December for book 11. Oh really cool pictures (look at the PDF)

Wow

Well narrated and written making it one of the few extended book series I look forward to, also the matching of the audio to the written is a wise choice as I would have just bought the written otherwise. Good character management here and story progression, which after some of the past books, was becoming a problem, feeling a bit like repeats,
This took on earths never ending disaster and solved the issue without any unintended consequences -he promises. If there are more, the story need not be so earth centrist too maybe? On starting it I was not however expecting the main first issue to be solved so 'simply' and was also a little disappointed the computer introduced at that time came to nothing, it probably would have made a more interesting companion over the surf dude? It was also a pity the kitties weren't made to dance again as that was the funnest moment in the whole series. Also a nice plug for the side series, which can't be faulted too much as it was ok too.

Almost an ending, but options aplenty for more

I'm looking forward for your next book buddy. Excellent performance, I'm glad you came back to regular ending of book. Thank you for bottom of my heart for continuing writing

Fine job Mr. Craig.
