Series is taking a turn towards Young Adult

The series was always a little thin, but now it's taking a turn for the worse. The characters are not strong. There's little temptation to make any kind of emotional investment in them. I've listened to all the books in the series up to this one, but it's time to move on.

Review "Incursion "

“This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.”
Mikael Naramore has given us another great narration. Mark Cooper continues the saga of war torn humanity in fighting against an alien species. He sets up under stories that will pull fully into the plot in upcoming books. There still is character development taking place which seems to slow the action pace and keep the plot resolution just out of sight. More answers are coming, keep reading:-)

Excellent

This book, like those that came before, is jam packed with action and intrigue. The narration was excellent. There were plenty of heart pounding battles won and lost, ending in death or worse. There seemed to be more tear provoking moments in this book. It is definitely not an HEA.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audio book by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Do not buy this book! it will be a wasted credit

This series of books is never going to end. the author is trying to make this series drag on as long as possible. In this book the plot is not move forward at all and they literally spend half the book with a main characters walking around in a Tech Convention with made up TV stars.

I enjoyed the first three books and they seemed to move forward. the plot in the story I thought was interesting and that's why I've decided to continue. however, I will not purchase any more from the series. it would have been an amazing three or four book series, not the 50 it's going to be by the time they're done writing it!

Simply Great.

Any additional comments?

People giving this book a bad review obviously have no sense of story building, character developing and story progress, clearly these mongoloids have no true taste of immersing withing a greatly written story only to cry like a baby for not having more to listen to, I am one of those hungry babies.

Love and Hate

Would you consider the audio edition of Incursion to be better than the print version?

I only have the Audio Version

What did you like best about this story?

The characters and story line are done in great detail

What does Mikael Naramore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mikael is a great reader. I have enjoyed everything he's done that I have listened to.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Absolutely but we all know Hollywood would cut out so much of the details that it would be lacking, IMHO

Any additional comments?

This is a great series and I got so wrapped up while listening to the audio that I would be late for work because I just couldn't turn it off. I ended up feeling like a character in a Dickens novel........"Please sir, can I have more?" I for one can't wait for the next book to see where he takes the characters. I'd give it a 10 out of 10

Too damn short.

I don't really understand how Rendezvous with Rama "can get more done" in 9 hours then most SciFi authors can get done in 12 hours. This here book feels too short. I was really looking forward to "Incursion", but it feels truncated. It feels like just over half of a book. The Odyssey One series did the same thing with "Warrior King". It also kills off a bunch of major characters right at the end with far less pomp and circumstance than they deserve.

I enjoyed it.

It kept me interested and was entertaining. The story developed on a pace that moves the plot along, but Im at point it feels like he is milking the story for the next book.

The best Cooper has written!

This may be the best book Mark Cooper has written (I "think" I've listened to everything that's available from Mr. Cooper here on Audible)... His writing skills have grown immensely since this series was started! This book is ultra-well researched, down to tiny details that many Non-Military, and/or Non-Engineering, folks may well miss, and I'm sure there are other details *I* missed from areas where I have no experience. Mr. Cooper doesn't 'beat you over the head with Details', he just tosses them into the story like a subtle seasoning. He obviously put a LOT of research into this book.

I LOVE watching authors grow! I said in a review of Book 1 that Mr. Cooper was only going to get better, and happily he's done exactly that! Can't wait for his next book!

Mikael Naramore's Narration is well timed, well read, well spoken, and just plain "well done"!
This is one of those rare teams that make 'the whole' better than the sum of it's parts!
