By Kerensky give these narrators a pronunciation sheet
Reviewed: 12-03-24
These narrators seem like decent voice actors but for the love of an urbanmech can you give them a sheet showing how to pronounce things? Listening to them butcher St. Jamais (SAINT JA MAY ISS!) is like listening to your boomer white dad order Mexican food and try to pronounce Huevos Rancheros. They also call Kai: Kay at least once and Atreus is pronounced like the main characters name in never ending story.
Anyway the story of double blind was always one of my favorites. Marcus is a pretty run of the mill merc leader, but the real interest (as in most btech novels) is the politics behind the scenes and causing the action. The scrappy little merc company gets in too deep to plots way bigger than themselves and has to make their way out.
If you can swallow the cringe of the mispronunciation it’s a good story.

Getting in my 5 STAR REVIEW hahahaha yeesss before the shows over!
Reviewed: 08-19-24
I’m currently plowing through season 3 of this show and the newest episode is the gathering movie so I know it’s almost to the end. I gotta say it’s a fantastic premise of a podcast. Reliving my first watch through these guys is a lot of fun. Took a little getting used to the Star Trek lens (maybe more palatable calling it a humanist lens?). Great show. Great hosts! Can’t wait to finish this and see where you are when I get there (for the second time? Stargate FtFT?)

In an empire ruled by the honored dead, seraphs are the ultimate weapons. Fueled by the pilot’s very soul, these colossal humanoid mecha are unstoppable in battle. Jack Donolon is the most powerful pilot in existence, a hero of Earth with a mind fractured by his seraph. On the far side of the galaxy, he uncovers a terrible truth about the seraphs and their pilots. Now he must return on a mission no one will understand, to face and kill the people who once called him friend and comrade.

Great story for Mecha lovers
Reviewed: 09-13-23
Great adventure for Mecha lovers. Felt like a season of a more serious gundam. My only complaint is the narrator seems out of his depth for Mecha sci-fi but I’m coming around to him.
