The Great Martian
What did you like best about this story?
The plot has engaging characters, suspenseful plot, exciting battles. I can't wait for many many sequels. It's a great addition to the War of the Worlds universe. Great audiobook.
I received a free copy in exchange for my review from AudiobookBoom
Exciting follow up to War of the Worlds
TARGET AUDIENCE: This is a follow up to the War of the Worlds by HG Wells. The author does a terrific job in keeping to the original story. Although it is a Sci-Fi, it is a book that would be especially well received by the Young Adult audience. Just the kind of book that I would refer to my teen sons to read.
PROFANITY AND SEX: None. Well written and tasteful.
STORY: On the second attempt at an Earth invasion they are much more prepared, landing their invasion force throughout the world, but focusing on areas which have low populations. This story chronicles the invasion site in the American West. Unlike the original book by HG Wells this book also gives the unique view of the Martians.
NARRATOR: This narrator is amazing, and is a perfect match for this book. He particularly does well with YA books, and books with multiple voices. You never lose track of who is speaking. Well done.
OVERALL: Absolutely loved this book, just sorry that the next book has not yet been released.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
Well Researched and true to form
Is there anything you would change about this book?
There is something rather odd about this offering. In a good way, but the timing, or pace, seems unique. Not bad or good, just different. I found it compelling in many ways.
Perhaps it was the writing, or the performance. Haven't figured it out quiet yet.
Would you be willing to try another book from Scott Washburn? Why or why not?
Sure. Clearly a fine researcher. Needs a good editor, but on balance good stuff.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Ray Greenley?
Sure. As above, he was consistent and true to the characters.
Do you think The Great Martian War: Invasion needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, this could easily be a series ( with due reference to HG Wells of course !)
Any additional comments?
I obtained this book from Audioblast in exchange for a fair and honest review, which is what this is. A good offering, with some fascinating research and basis. Worth a credit for historical/alternative sci-fi buffs to be sure!
Well read, great story
What made the experience of listening to The Great Martian War: Invasion the most enjoyable?
Well written, well read. Good and well developed characters. The story follows HG Wells concepts closely.
