Another Sci Fi Sermon Uhg

I bought these books on sale. WOULD return if I could. Great premise almost always devolves into soap box preaching. Like we get it. You are religious . List your crap under religious category not Sci fi.
This book was one of the worst.

Another typical starts out with a cool Sci Fi premise only to devolve into a platform for Robinson to foist his religious beliefs onto listeners. Sigh...

If I wanted to relive the days of religion and fairy tales being forced fed to me via the guise of a science fiction story
I would join any of "new age" cult religions.
I respect a persons right to believe what they want
I don't like being deceived into purchasing a book whose premise is time travel only to find out the actual story is to substantiate the story of the bible... I will not purchase any Robinsons "origins" series as I feel they are all going to be thinly disguised sermons . I will be requesting a refund for this one

These stories are not "thought provoking" as I am sure the authors intended.
Just a boring 8 hours of snowflake entitlement . I promise you'll find more riveting thought provoking stories and ANY social media platform where people feel compelled to be noticed , validated , given a voice by being a hot sloppy mess and vomiting that diatribe all over the internet
The narrators are mostly female and cannot do a male voice at all

So if you expected War and Peace from a title like Jurassic Dead .. well you are obviously as brain dead as the characters.
The plot concept is new , has possibilities. Sadly the writer just doesn't have the talent to carry it off.
Narration is pretty okay.
Book two you feel like maybe the writer may have taken a class or two and he starts to get it together.
Book three is comprised mostly of recap situations. Towards the end we get new info by then you have fallen asleep or otherwise moved on.
A massive amount of story line is suspiciously similar to Jurassic Park series.. only the names have been changed to get away with outright copycat writing.
All in all this was a sale book and a box set so you get what you pay for.
IF I had spent a credit on it I would be getting that credit back

Not an OMG you must listen but fairly entertaining. The narrator does a respectful job with the multitude of characters ..
It was good back ground story

If all history were taught in this format the world would be SO much better educated.
What a book. The writing is funny, sardonic, informational in a " No shit?" way. Great stuff
Johnny Heller really delivers it. One of his better performances . You will laugh out loud. Find yourself rewinding to make sure you heard that little fact correctly.
Buy it, listen, enjoy.

Great book. A bit dated feeling which lends to its charm. Not an excellent book. You wont be dying to know what happens next. But enjoyable and super fun. Easy listen.
The narrator does a great job. As a rule women just don't pull off doing male voices.
Bahni Turpin does a respectable job with this. I think her narration made the book a bit better than the writing actually is?
Any who .. if you like old school vamp with a twist and southern charm you'll enjoy this book.

The issue with this story is the lack of a story. The author delivers one sentence of story for every 6-8 paragraphs of over descriptive military wanna be porn.. and it is soooo poorly written. Like maybe a 12 year old pre puberty?
It is really bad..... Boring.... Inaccurate on a epic level of fail...
R.C Bray literally could make a economics class bearable.. he is really just that fantastic which is why we were able to endure the two hours we did.
It just goes from bad to a level of geesus this is unbearable.
No matter the "deal" just pass on this one.
Well unless you are a 12 year old boy with delusions of military grandeur that knows squat about anything realistically done in the military... well in combat at least.
If this author has any military experience I guarantee it was behind a mop, in a kitchen, etc..
