As usual Mark Nelson brings the story to life but even he must have wondered when will it end ! Seemed very long winded with a bunch of psychology mumbo jumbo towards the end .
mehhhh....

Despite the heap of mediocre to bad reviews I decided to give this one a try as Mark Nelson and Greg Margret are my two favorite readers. The first 1/3 of the story was enjoyable, at first I thought "this goes to show you can judge audiobook book by its listeners" however by 2/3rds of the way I was looking for a rafter and a rope for myself and a bucket of water for my cellphone. The ending just drones on and on and on and on and while normally I enjoy the (aptly described by guy from Ireland) "psychological mumbo jumbo" this would make Greg Margret roll over in his grave. (rip Greg :( )
Excellent, classic sci-fi

This is the 1st I've "read" from this author; it was a nice, short, entertaining read. Mark Nelson does a superb job as usual!

An alien lands on Earth, and it is so powerful, it can kill with very little effort. It also eats its victims, piling up the bones in ritualistic fashion. It sounds like a savage beast, but things are not always as it seems. I found this to be an unusual story, but I am not sure if I liked it or not. The reader was excellent, and so were the quality of the recordings.
Enjoyable escapism

I note the negative and mediocre reviews of this so didn't expect much from it but I found it to be a great fun story, no worse bothered by waffling pseudo science and pop philosophy than most others of its ilk. I enjoyed the novelty of some of the ideas in the story and I didn't find it overly long. I found it well paced in fact
intriguing story!

I love Mark's voice, it makes me sleepy and so, I haven't yet heard all the story 😄 However, it's a really interesting concept and I've found it very enjoyable. PS someone in these reviews asks how everyone knows he's called Nipe.....it's because he told them BUT he didn't make it clear as to whether it was his name or the name of his people.
that was intense :D
