Worldwar: In the Balance Audiobook

" This book are very well written and done well. I enjoyed the characters in the book. The only thing that bothers me is the transition from scene to scene is too quick by the narrator (not a long enough pause to feel like there was a change in venue). There are time that I had to back up to see where I was on the plant and in the whole scheme of the book. This is not the writers fault this is more on the audio book publisher, the producer and the narrator for creating this confusion. I loved the story line and have continued through the series. "

" This book answers the question I should have been thinking about my whole life: What if ... at the height of World War II, Earth is invaded by lizard people from outer space? I picked this book off the shelf in a bookstore because of the weird cover, and after reading the summary, I had to buy it. After reading my first sci-fi/alternate history, I was hooked on the series. Then hooked on all of Harry Turtledove's alternate history series. After living through the alternate Civil War, the alternate WWII, and alternate Shakespeare's England, I still come back to this first Worldwar novel as the best. I find them most enjoyable if I am familiar with the history that Harry is twisting. Lots of action, romance, political satire and humor. "

" A fun alternate history: World War 2 gets put on hold by arrival of alien invaders, and former enemies must work together to defeat this powerful new enemy. "

" Hooked me enough to get me to commit to ne next 7 in the series. "

" Hmm, read volume one in 1994 and eighteen years later haven't got to volume two. "

" I found this concept fascinating, went on to read the remaining books in the series, and was disappointed when there no more in the series! "

" What is an interesting concept is weighted down with stock characters, stock motivation on the part of the invaders, and some atrocius dialogue. Harry Turtledove may have a Ph.D in history, however, he should have spent more time away from the collegiate atmosphere. "

" Very good twist on history. Takes a little while to get into with how many side stories are involved but once in I was hooked. On to book two "

" A fantastic work of alternate history. Can't wait to continue the series! "

" i thought this book was great, it was a real great treat for any history or sience fiction fan. "

" Beside some half decent battle scenes, this book seemed to be chalked full of pointless dialogue and characters that are bland tools for the author to progress his story and ideas. I wanted so much more from the premise this story presented, but I had to give up after 275 pages. "

" It was a wonderful saga of Lizards invading from another planet during WWII. The writing is excellent. I found I needed to read every word because the canvas was so big and interesting. If you like alternate history, this is the book for you. "

" A really good series. Recommended for all sci-fi fans. "

" Woulda been great except it had sex in it. "

" The master of alternate history at the top of his game. "

" Nobody, but nobody, does alternate history better than Harry Turtledove. What a crackerjack storyteller. "

" When I read the plot description - aliens invade earth during World War II - I had my doubts, but it is actually a very readable alternate history novel. "

" Very cool concept, incredibly boring book. "

" There were a number of concurrent stories and it seemed slow/very military at times. But I want to know what happens and think the series has potential. And I did like the reflections on Lizard vs human culture. "

" i thought this book was great, it was a real great treat for any history or sience fiction fan. "

" ID4 with Nazis! Reads like an ensemble cast, disaster, summer blockbuster, sci-fi, special effects extravaganza! Grinding tense progression of the narrative that ups the violence and tech on each page "

" I was hooked on Page 1. A great book, great author and great series. Alternate history at it's best. Aliens with early 21st century technology against World War Two era earth. What a concept. Turtledoves weaves a rich, deep, detailed story thru a ensemble cast. "
