Great series, but my least favorite book so far

STORY (sci-fi) - I've already written several reviews for this series so I'll be short here. This is a wonderful, unique series, and I'm going to hear every single book. That said, this one was a little slower. The main character (Bren) is human and lives among the alien Atevi race. Bren is a translator/negotiator for the Atevi. If you start from the beginning of the series (which you have to do or you'll be totally lost), Bren has been through everything imaginable as far as problems he's negotiated. His last two years were spent in the Atevi's first spaceship as it was on a rescue mission. In this book they return to the home planet to find mass political upheaval and possible war among the Atevi, which further affects human-Atevi relations. Bren and the other main characters try to avert war and restore the overthrown government to power, but I suspect this endeavor will span through the next couple books. Further, they fear the Gyo, which is an alien race they encountered while on their rescue mission, may come to the home planet. Not knowing the Gyo's intentions, Bren strives to bring peace to his world so they may present a united front to the Gyo when they appear.

PERFORMANCE - I love Daniel May's performance, although he gets quite a bit of criticism from others. There are lots of characters in this series, and he manages to give most of them voices which are easily distinguishable. Thanks for that, Daniel!

OVERALL - I highly recommend this series, but it is quite long so consider the time investment. You must start from the beginning, as there are many characters you should "meet" from the beginning and you will need to learn the Atevi language as it is unfolded. No sex or cursing in this series, just tons of complex problems for Bren to negotiate! Even though this book wasn't a favorite, I anxiously look forward to the next as this series does not disappoint.

A wonderfully engaging series

Where does Destroyer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As a stand alone book it is good but as part of the series it is great.

What about Daniel May’s performance did you like?

Daniel's performance is among the best I have experienced. I will look for other books where his talent can be enjoyed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had the time I would enjoy doing so.

Any additional comments?

This is the 7th book in the series and I have just finished the 8th and am about to start the 9th. I am very much engaged in the series.

Narrator

Daniel Thomas May is a superior narrator. I love this series. I read it in book form before I got audible. But Daniel Thomas really makes it come alive.

Don’t bother

Ridiculous circular thinking. Hated the silly back and forth verbiage. What happened to C J?

Best book so far!

Back from a 2 year journey, Bren must help restore the Aji to power on the earth.

another good book in the series

this particular story has a lot of back history and inner dialogue of the main character which is not for everyone I enjoyed it because I have read all the books in the series and I identify with this character in particular Bren.... if someone's lived abroad in immersed himself in a second language they'll really understand it and the same thing I think happens with your compassion level of someone immigrating here and trying to learn a new language....

WONDERMOUS!

I loved it -- both the story and the narration (by Daniel May) was excellent!

Great Story. Too much Rehash

No need to rehash basics this far into the series. Needs to be revised.
