Eyes of the Devil Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The last half of the book was barely better than the first half, but that's not saying much. Boring. Even when the "mystery" was discovered, I didn't get a feeling of "wow." There was no sense of urgency, either, when they had to get moving to stop the . . . mystery thing. The main characters aren't that interesting, either. Usually when a story like this is told from the main character's aide, the main character is interesting! (Holmes, Wolf, etc.) But Benedict is rather plain and vanilla. I don't know what makes him tick or what makes him so great at what he does (there's not a lot of description about what he does, either), nor is there much about the narrator, Chase Kolpath. She seems more interesting, but not by much. Disappointing, especially in light of the possibilities of an inter-stellar mystery with a mind-wipe going on. "

" Loved it - each one of his books is better than the last. "

" Has all the elements the reader comes to expect from a McDevit novel. The last third of the novel seemed to bog down. A 'good read' but not at the top of his best works. "

" This was a slow starter that had a variety of things to keep me interested until the story picked up halfway through. Unfortunately, it fell apart at about three-fourths of the way through. It was as if a lightswitch were flipped, and I just didn't care at all about what would happen next. The author, one who has written many books I love, seems to have simply made a bad choice along his plot line. I skimmed the last eighty pages, something I almost never do. It's too bad, because I really like this series. "

" Lots of action and aliens, complete with a hypernova to destroy a planet with gamma rays. Fun and well written. "

" Chase Kolpath is a hottie. "

" A terrible, terrible conclusion to, what had been up to this volume, an interesting series. "

" This book seems more formula and contrived than his other novels. The plot has twists that are just take to much of a leap of faith to believe. "

" Not many nonhuman species in McDevitt's worlds, but he tells a pretty good story. "

" Wow, what an amazing book! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one now. "

" i like the characters. I like McDevitt's work even though it is not as personal as most books I really like. "

" Not bad heroic space opera. Slightly dated already. "

" Great book. The plot arch was a little funky but overall I loved it. The characters were dynamic and the story line interesting. "

" For some reason, I found this read a little slower than Seeker or Eternity Road. But I will say Mr. McDevitt is a very methodical man in his plotting and execution. "

" As much as I like Jack's writing style, I've had it with Alex Benedict. Each novel has gotten increasingly implausible until this one leaves me with only "Really?!?!?" "

" This was a nice break from the pattern of the previous Benedict stories. The second half of the book made for a rather different kind of story than the other books in the series. I look forward to reading the next in the series. "

" Loved this one too! It's as much a mystery as it is sci fi. I love the grand scale of the whole thing, and I am so very impressed with the sheer amount of action that happens in this book - it's not that long, really. Huzza again for Jack McDevitt! "

" A good read. Entertaining. Slightly different than the normal "Alex and Chase" book. "

" Recommended by my uncle and I will definitely be reading more McDevitt... "
