the whole time I was listening to the book I thought the old fellows luck had finally turned around, only to get to the end and see what a cruel waste of time the last week had been for him

I have a good collection of Larry's books, I'm never disappointed with his writing, he knows how to tell a good story and keep you entertained to the very last chapter, much like the gray man series, I'm looking forward to the next installment of this series.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely, I love lee child, I have only heard a few of his jack reacher novels, but they're great! I'm never dissapointed with lee child

What was one of the most memorable moments of Persuader?

The part where jack saves the boy and his mother from Paul and his devious pleasures, how he wasn't afraid to give his life to save others, like a good soldier offers his life to save innocent people.

What aspect of Dick Hill’s performance would you have changed?

I'm a truck driver, the cab of my truck can get noisy, I would much appreciate if he wouldn't drop his voice so much, he gets very hard to hear sometimes, unlike Scott brick or jay Snyder who are very nice to listen to when I'm driving

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yep! But I break it up over several days, because like I said, I'm a driver and I like to listen to a good exciting book to keep me awake when I get sleepy

Any additional comments?

Great work lee child! Love all your books!

Would you listen to Empire Builders again? Why?

Yes, I would listens again, I enjoyed this book

What other book might you compare Empire Builders to and why?

I think I could compare this title to the Orion series, there is a lot of space travel and exploration in both

What about Stefan Rudnicki’s performance did you like?

I like Stefan Rudnicki, he is a very good narrator for truck drivers because he keeps his voice at a fairly constant volume, which is nice because I don't have to keep fooling with the volume control while I'm driving

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, I'm generally not an emotional person

What made the experience of listening to Relic the most enjoyable?

It kept me on my toes and guessing, I was never sure what was coming, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

What other book might you compare Relic to and why?

I'm not sure what to compare it to, I've never listened to or read another book like this one

Which scene was your favorite?

I don't know if I had a favorite part, I enjoyed the whole book other than the end here the mad scientist was growing more of the weeds and selling it as drugs, that part was a bit disturbing

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, it was not that kind of book for me

Any additional comments?

Preston and child are my favorite duo, they never disappoint

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I liked this book because of all the ways Orion rescued and trained the people he came across including the Neanderthal, Ben Bova has a good imagination

What was one of the most memorable moments of Orion in the Dying Time?

Most memorable part for me was where Orion got to see the Neanderthals in their home before the wars and finally saw who he was really fighting the whole time

What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like the character that he brings to the people in the story, something I can't do for myself

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book

If you could sum up Enchantment in three words, what would they be?

A true masterpiece!!!

I like the way a 20th century boy overcame 9th century problems, problems he was ill prepared to face, but he never gave up no matter the odds against him

Yes I think I would try another book, I rather enjoyed the first and third books in the series, I also enjoyed hard magic, other than the narrator
