*I was given this free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I love when someone starts strong and solid with what they are saying, then drift off as they aren’t sure how to finish that saying, people do it and it’s hard to convey when characters in a story do it. Jeffrey does this at the beginning with Captain Ethan Stone and it’s perfect. I have to give Jeffrey great praise for this audiobook. No where in it does it sound like Jeffrey breaks character and laughs. I’m sure he had a great time with this one, but he is professional the whole way through and holds to the characters personalities. Totally awesome work.
What creative and colorful analogies, metaphors, descriptions and more are used here. From the first words, Jeremy had my attention to see where he was going with what he would write. I loved it as it made me smile.
Right out of the gun the space comedy reminded me of the movie Space Balls with descriptions used by the characters along with character banter. Just fun in words and actions along with comments you snicker at that others don’t respond to. The book has a gaming twist to the battle with the aliens.
The day Space Force is disbanded, as they are exciting the facility, aliens attack. That’s karma. So many awesome references to movies, games, and so much more! Totally my kind of fun!
I found I started to get punchy with the common words used while listening to this book. Words like helmet (worn with space suits) and blue balls (energy blasts from guns), along with others, all took on a different meaning in my head. lol. I had a blast listening to this one.
The story has a direction, and we get to the end goal but it’s just plain fun getting there – save the earth by winning the fight against the aliens. Sure there is fighting and friendship bonds that are highlighted, but the jokes and humor twisted throughout the book is the best.
I would suggest just turning on your audiobook and kicking back, taking in the story for the fun that it is and letting the words and double meanings roll over you. You’ll have a blast!
