Resumen del Editor

The first installment in the thrilling, action-packed Chaos Chronicles.

When John Bandicut sets out across the surface of Triton, he's hardly ready for the storm of chaos that's about to blow through his life. The alien Quarx that soon inhabits his mind is humanity's first contact with an alien life. The Quarx, part of an ancient galactic civilization that manipulates chaos theory to predict catastrophic events, seeks to prevent a cometary collision that could destroy the Earth. But it must have help.

If Bandicut chooses to trust the Quarx, he must break all the rules - indeed, sacrifice his life as he knows it - to prevent humanity's greatest cataclysm. Leaving friends and a lover behind, hurtling across the solar system in a stolen spaceship, Bandicut can only pray that his actions will save the Earth - even if he doesn't live to see it again.

all around good, but retarded

Bandicate, the main character, is seriously cognitively impared and degenerate. I'm surprised such comes from the same creative awesomeness the better parts of the story come from. Charly, the alien, is pretty awesome. Bandy turns into something story worthy only because of Charly. At one of a few moments of wasted 30 minutes I had to change to another book.

Fantastic!

I chose this book because it was "included " as part of my Audible subscription and I'm a hopless Sci-fi addict. What a fortuitous occurrence!! I can't believe I didn't know that this gem existed. A great story. I was completely engaged and positively engrossed from the start. A wonderful performance kept my full attention right through to the end, which seemed to come before I knew it and left me hungering for more! Having been thoroughly impressed and entertained by this included first volume, I am immediately compelled to purchase the second volume of this amazingly satisfying Sci-fi trilogy. Positively, whole-heartedly recommended!

very little in the way of action/storyline.

great narrator but the story unfortunately was stale and concentrated on irrelevant details. Martin characters were mainly 2d

An excellent choice for a narrator from a fan

I have absolutely loved the Chaos Chronicles since I found it some 10?+ years ago in my local Barnes and Noble and even after reading it I'm sure a dozen or so times by now listening to the story now still has me pulled tight into the story of John and Charlie and I don't want to stop listening. Please continue to make the rest of the series into audio-books! Fans of this series would love to see more of this. I especially liked all of the added sound effects brought in during the neuro-link scenes and such it really pulled me more into the story and Stefan, while I wasn't sure if I liked him at first has won me over as narrator for this series.

interesting but the devoid of action or suspense.

A sleepy tale with a main character who's a bit whiny. The unseen alien is hard to embrace. Despite some shortcomings I enjoyed the book, it reminded me a little of 2001 A Space Odyssey.

hard to explain

The idea was decent, but the details were bad, and author was flat and boring.

A little wordy but still a great story!

In the beginning I was a little put off by all the internal conversations the main character was having with himself and then with Charlie, but eventually I got used to it and the struggles they both had to endure to learn about each other and save the world.

The journey was am interesting one but I still have a hard time understanding why the author chose to make John endure some of the things he did. I cant say much without spoiling but my heart went out to John in the end! Wish he didn't have to be as strong as he was!

Charlie was a little annoying but it was understandable considering his origin.

I wish the other characters had a stronger role. I feel they were well done and not used as much as they could have been.

But still I was excited listening to the story and hearing the main characters grow and work towards their goal. just wish it wasn't so wordy. some of the conversations were unnecessary.

Narrator was great!

Great story and absolute outstanding narration.

One thing I will guarantee you wil love this book. The narrative out shines Rodnicki's Ender series which was excellent. plot is original and character truly come alive. I highly recommend this book

Not quite what I expected.

It's a good story if you can get past the immature use of made up words in place of actually using adult language. God Damnit is ok but Fucking Hell/Shit isn't? Political correctness is a poor excuse for literary license.

Enjoyable audiobook

I like Jeffrey Carver's writing. Darn him for ending the book as he did, so I guess I'm going to have to get the next installment. ha. Keep up the good writing..
