About this listen

A thrilling collection of the entire best-selling Orbs series from New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith.

While training for a manned mission to Mars, Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of scientists find themselves cut off from the rest of the world. Trapped inside a biosphere deep within the confines of Cheyenne Mountain, Sophie and crew discover they are the survivors of a brutal alien invasion. But as they struggle to stay alive, they realize their safe haven is far from safe and that they must team up with other survivors around the world to defeat the aliens before it’s too late for humanity and the Earth.

Lost interest

Something about the dialog kept distracting me along with character that seemed designed to be killed, and narration that was flat…especially for characters with accents

Way too long

Couldn't finish it. Went through the first two, but when the third started with basically more of the same from the previous books, I decided that I had enough. Bronson Pinchot is awesome and I've read and liked other books from the same authors, but this one is different and way too slow, with too many "fillings".

Not up to Nick standards

Not as good as what I have come to expect from Nicholas. Fail to keep me engaged. The character rolls are not good for Bronson. Thier best work is Extinction Cycle series.

scratch screech

in Bronson Pinchot's voice...haunting. The earth gets sucked dry, kinda like Texas in the summer. No more beaches? That is Hell. Good read. Great reading! Scrrrrraaaaatch. Sssscreeeech.

Great story for sure!

I will admit that I am NOT a fan of Bronson Pinchot as a narrator. There were other books that were ruined (for me) because of that.
That being said he did a phenomenal job on this series! This series was great from start to finish! Some spots had me jumping almost out of my chair several times! Definitely worth listening to!

Narrator dropped the ball

Usually enjoy the narrator's work, but the use of a "w" sound for a "v" for the Russian character, like Checkhov from Star Trek, was incredibly distracting. How do people think Russians say vodka, wodka?

Great author

Awesome storyline, character development and creativity. Very much the way I would picture a hostile alien invasion taking place. Highly recommended!
