Cool blend of sci fi and post apocalyptic fiction

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I thought this was a pretty good sci fi / post apocalyptic story. It is told from multiple points of view and jumps around a bit, but is well narrated and quite entertaining.

A little chaotic

Would you try another book from Don Thomas and/or Scott Berrier?

I had trouble with the writing style (language / sentence structure etc) of this author, which made it difficult for me to follow the story. I would guess the premise of the book had some contribution to that. And thus I would give a different book from this author a chance, since I think he has a good eye for a good story.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The central premise is interesting, even though it sounds slightly predictable at times. To take us on this journey, the author makes use of "flashback" chapters, jumping between them and current time. Which goes alright most of the time. But I had some trouble keeping up with the progress since I was finding the writing style a little hard to follow, as mentioned earlier. I had to listen and re-listen multiple passages multiple times to understand what actually happened. Halfway through the book, it got too chaotic. imo, simpler sentence construction and better pacing would've helped.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Scott Berrier?

Scott Berrier did an apt narration of the book. Even though the books pacing was a little chaotic for me, the narrator was true to the book and matched it. His voice was clear and I had no difficulty hearing the story.

Any additional comments?

Good SciFi Tale

Savior by Don Thomas was a very enjoyable story with a variety of underlying themes. If nonlinear story telling is something that you can not stand this may not be something you won't enjoy. With multiple points of view from different characters.you are never really going from point A to B in the story. The story is fun and has enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend the story for those who really are into this type of storytelling and follow this narrative style.

The narration is provided by Scott Berrier. This is the second performance of Mr. Berriers I have heard and he always delivers the action and brings great variety to the wide casts of characters. I really enjoy his work.

Not my cup of tea.

In a future world of sensitives (psychics) and genetically modified humans we find a government agency called SAVIOR, which means Strategic Agency against Viral Infections by Organized Resistance. This agency was formed to save mankind from a deadly virus that was decimating the world’s population. After the virus the procedures and tactics of SAVIOR were brought under the magnifying glass and the results were neither pleasant nor acceptable. The story progresses by jumping back and forth between historical flashbacks and present day. The plot is not what I was expecting nor is it my cup of tea. It’s actually somewhat confusing to me and the writing style to me is chaotic. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.
