Change the audio preview sample to Chap1 please!

I give the publisher a challenge, Change the audio sample and my guesstimation is you will gain a higher percentage of book purchases.
I love the author and the narrator is great. The section that the publisher chose is not consistent with the narrators voice and abilities at all.
I have looked at this book several times and rejected it because of the reviews and the audio sample.
Later, it kept popping into my mind and I read the reviews on Kindle, and I liked the reviews. I went ahead and took a chance on the book because I cannot imagine the author being as terrible as some of the reviews stated.

The book does have a plodding pace and is a slow Developing storyline. However, the book is paced towards character development and plot development for the second book. The last 10 chapters of book the story starts to get interesting and captures one’s attention. It is a little predictable, moreover the book allows you to guess whether your predictions will come true but it also has some fun surprises.
I am definitely getting the second book.
I love that book is clean. I cannot remember whether there is vulgarity in it or not Which of course indicates that there’s very little or none in the book. This makes my purchases very easy and the content is refreshing. An adult book that I can actually recommend to my grandchildren, wow what a concept!

Lastly, the narrator in various voice ranges sounds like will Wheaton which is a complement. Will Wheaton is one of the best book narrators on the planet. However, it is a little bit of a fun distraction when all of a sudden I hear will Wheaton. The narrator is good and Appears to be fairly new at his craft but he is good and appears he will continue to get much better and I enjoyed him very much.

Bill & Ted's excellent adventure

A 19 year old's view of a space adventure. Not a stuffy military romp. Entertaining

The story is like Swiss cheese

author does not explain very well. and this first book doesn't end on an accomplishment of any kind.

Concept good

But a lot to be desired of the story being flashed out. The story does not suck you in to go further.

Probably good for kids in Middle School

I have always enjoyed M.R. Forbes’ work, but this one was a chore to complete.

3 star So So book. galactic mafia style

Ben and Matt ste rather flat and u likable characters. neither is overly impressive in either way. Ben being the pathetic mommas boy that literally wants his mommy when he gets hurt and Matt the muscle brained Jock that thinks he's bad ass. the story gives zero introductory imto the world in throws you into a randomly derails from what I think is the plot to try and do horrid character development .

The narrator isn't bad but definitely needs practice with multiple personalities. he tries ro.change the tones and inflections of his voice but the only time he really succeeds is when doing a Brooklyn accent. aby female characters are a challenge to him, almost as if maybe trying too hard to get a higher pitch without being obvious.

regardless of what any other reviews might say, the sample is dead on for whay you'll get.

It is all set up, no real payoff.

It seems like 75 to 80% of this book is set up. If they’re not setting things up to not get a payoff, then they are trying to make you feel sorry for the main character. Even if it is the first of a series there should be some pay off at the end of it.

headcase space story

story slow to start but good read once the characters get to speed and whio is who

Slow, silly and doesn't go anywhere.

Gave up halfway through. Even if this is a young adult book, which wasn't indicated, it just wasn't interesting.

Boring YA novel

The first hour is depressing and it only managed to get worse from there. It's been a while since I gave up on a book because it's more boring than the sound of silence but here we are. Someone called this Percy Jackson in space but that's not fair, Percy Jackson was interesting.
