FEAR THE SKY by Stephen Moss

Narrated by R.C. Bray

     Plot Driven Thriller Missing Personality

This novel could be classified as an adventure thriller with an element of hard Science Fiction thrown in. It had enough in the idea category to keep me listening for the entire twenty hour length but I never became invested in any of the characters. Clearly there is a larger story in development here, and with two announced sequels I can foresee that the story could progress into something more than this first installment has so far provided.

R.C. Bray is an fine narrator and he delivers a yeoman’s effort here. However, his straight-forward delivery did not enhance the listening experience. What this book needed was a more dramatic performance to help bridge the necessary slow sections of the complex plot development.
