What did you like best about Flyers? What did you like least?

It introduces a new species and alien way of thinking.

If you’ve listened to books by Vonda N. McIntyre before, how does this one compare?

N/a

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator didn't do this book justice at all. This is the first time I have hated the narration. The emotions and inflections don't fit at all.

Was Flyers worth the listening time?

No. I would read the story.

Any additional comments?

The story needs glue. It is disconnected and could use fleshing out. Is this an excerpt? That is the only thing that makes sense. The narration didn't help.

Somehow incomplete, maybe it's just the poor readi
