After a long journey to Saturn’s moon Enceladus, spaceship ILSE is on its way back to Earth, carrying crucial cargo. The crew is exhausted and wants nothing more than a quick return home. Suddenly, a chain of malfunctions puts the expedition in peril.

The difficulties appear to be related to planet Jupiter, whose orbit they are crossing. Is it the giant planet itself that won’t let these travelers pass? ILSE’s crew is heading toward catastrophe as an unknown power is forging plans designed to influence the future of human civilization.

Very good story. I would read and recommend the book...the audiobook though is a BIG NO 👎

Horrible narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Narration was very robotic and words were mispronounced. There are also duplicate sentences and long pauses of no sound early in the recording. I listened only because I don't have time to read the book and enjoy the series and author.

Terrible naration

While I enjoyed the backstory, the narration sounded mechanical and the editing was lacking where a few phrases were repeated and there are silent gaps in the narration.

Story was good but narration and edit were lacking.

While the story was good, the narration was very difficult to listen to. At first, I thought that the narrator was actually a synthesized voice or AI, but a synthesized voice of any kind nowadays is not this bad. For the most part, the narrator was droning on with hardly any inflection in his voice, and the different characters basically sounded the same. Just as annoying was that the 30 or 40 times that the word ‘Enceladus’ was spoken, it was completely miss-pronounced! Were all the editors at audible.com on vacation? Additionally, there were several sentences repeated by the narrator. There were a few gaps of silence the end of some chapters, and in one chapter, an unknown amount of content was cut off mid-phrase before moving to the next chapter. .. Is there no quality control at Audible? Very disappointed.

Disappointing narration

The narrator frequently mispronounces even common words, He also drones on without proper inflection. I expect there will be a reissue at some point with a better narrative. For now you’re better off with an AI voice; at least it will pronounce the words correctly.

The storyline for book 5 isn't too bad although it is not up to the first four books. The editing is really bad, there are a lot of sentences being repeated and large sections of several chapters in the beginning that are nothing but blank space. The performer is quite bad, he is very monotone and it is very obvious he is reading the story and not telling the story. I would be willing to listen to more books by this author but only if they are not read by this performer.

Poor performance

This is my 5th Brandon Q. Morris book and it doesn't disappoint. If you are familiar with his writing then this one fits right in.

The narration though is bad. I swear it is text-to-speech tech. Sentences are squished together or spaced apart awkwardly, there are sometimes long periods of silence that make me check my phone to make sure playback hasn't stopped, or that android auto isn't having problems. There's no inflection and it doesn't sound natural. Words are also mispronounced, sometimes into entirely different words like saying "memorized" instead of "mesmerized." And I was triggered by the way Encaledus was pronounced.

I stuck with it because I'm going through Brandon's entire catalogue of hard sci fi, but the narration made this one a chore.

Good book, subpar audio

Narration is so off the charts cringe, that it makes you believe it may possibly be a practice joke of some kind, played on audible.

Narration is an epic fiasco!

I’m convinced this is ai. Dnf the first chapter. I’ll google what happens at the end. Super disappointed

Narrator

I'm a big fan of Brandon Q. Morris and until this title, I've been happy with the narration of the books. I'm not sure who approved this for publication, but between the audio level being ridiculously low and the actual narration sounding like a text-to-speech program instead of a live person, I can only think that someone made a mistake and published the wrong file because this isn't worth what the list price is and really not even worth a penny.

Not worthy of Audible or Brandon Q. Morris.
