I listened to the audible book at 3x speed and found the narration pleasant and easy to listen and I would recommend the audible version.

The performance is good. But missing the other voices. It's all read in one voice.
The story of the aliens is interesting and enough different from stock to be interesting and hold my attention.
Worth the $1.99 I paid for it.
Same but different

The Frozen Sky: The NovelWritten by: Jeff Carlson
Narrated by: Darrin Revitz
This is a very, multi layered book. It is a book about technology, space exploration, finding new life, deceit, what is life worth, what life is worth saving, and so many more layers. This also has so many cool things in it. A computer that can be programmed into the suit that can take over when our gal is trying to get away from the savage small creatures. The computer/suit took over to evade and protect and she was in the suit and along for the ride for a while. She can take over when needed but the computer can take over when necessary. That was awesome. This same programmed computer came in handy and was a big part of the story. I liked this book so much I bought book 2.
The narration was excellent. She was easy to understand and was great at keeping the voices straight and making the excitement and suspense heightened. Great job

This novel deals with issues that are timeless in hard science fiction with regards to alien life. Carlson does a fantastic job of laying out all the different issues that come up, including misguided curiosity, ethics, and the fight between politics, commerce, and scientists. He also touches on artificial science, the challenges of small crews living together in confined areas in space and even women in science. One aspect of the novel that I really enjoyed was the features of and any interactions with the alien species. Alexis’ quickly realizes that she doesn’t really know what she’s dealing with and I really liked that. There was no clear superiority implied from her and she is the champion for the alien creatures. The novel is also packed with action, which was exciting. While the alien life, the technology, and the larger brush strokes surrounding the ethics involved were fantastic, the actual character building in general felt a little flat to me. Most of the characters were interesting enough, but there were a lot of them and the only ones that came into sharp relief were those that Alex interacted with frequently. I especially didn’t like the romantic relationships and Alexis’ preoccupation with her interaction with her male colleagues. I felt that it was forced and could have been left out for some more in depth relationship building among the different characters instead.
Unfortunately, the narration by Darrin Revitz really made me frustrated with this novel and tainted the story for me. I think a narrator used to using accents would have done a better job. There were characters from a lot of different nationalities and hearing the different accents would have helped a lot, especially, because it was extremely difficult to follow who was speaking at times. The production quality was okay. There might have been a few skips in the audio, which is not ideal. I would recommend this novel to any science fiction fan, especially those who enjoy space-centric settings and high level issues about interactions with alien life.
