Critic Reviews:

"Perry excels at hard-boiled writing, flashing dialogue, and stripped-down action." (Oregonian)

Members Reviews:

Great fun, well worth listening

As much Martial Arts Adventure as Science Fiction, well narated and presented. Light, fast, entertaining, and a great way to spend a few hours.

An action packed novel.

What made the experience of listening to The Musashi Flex the most enjoyable?

I enjoy Steve Perry's novels. This is an action packed read. One interesting thing is this novel is the basis of several of his other novels within the same universe. They aren't exactly a series, just various one shot novels that are connected by an overarching story arch. My only regret is that the author started making more money doing licensed books such as aliens and really stopped coming up with his own material.

What did you like best about this story?

Lots of action and a good overall plot.

Did Joe Barrett do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

He did a so-so job of differentiating characters. He is passable but doesn't have a great range.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really, this is a fun quick read.

Any additional comments?

A great book. The narrarator is average, but doesn't ruin the story. I''d advise taking a look as Steve Perry is a good author who does great action series. It isn't on audio but everyone should read his novel "The Man Who Never Missed". Awsome stuff!

Entertainning !

The book may be a little long but Steve Perry makes it worth the time if you got time. Even though it has some 'other world' jargon it's pretty easy to understand what is implied and for me the main character and simple storyline makes it a good listen. The only thing I didn't like was that the fight scenes didn't portray any pain or emotion when someone was fatally wounded.

Great story, great narrator

A Musashi Flex is a prequel to the Matador series it is simple story with a compelling world and convincing characters. The narrator had a fantastic delivery. If you enjoy space opera and combat I think you'll enjoy this book.

Great entertainment. Great performance.

One of the best books revolving around the martial arts and it's practitioners I have come across.

Full characters well fleshed out and clear, interactions plausible, settings and history/background well and elegantly described. The story moved along quickly and caught me up in it from the get-go.

Anyone into military scifi, the battles in spaceopera, even the one on one combat of epic fantasy will enjoy this immensely.

My thanks to Steve Perry for a great book, and to Joe Barret for distinct, interesting, well acted, and consistent characters.

Of note is the hero, and resident badass, is portrayed with a (passable - work on the "I", Joe) Southern accent which is as it should be.
