   Great Story with Bonus Novella, Recording needs review.

   Another great story in the Rex Nihilo universe. Funny, fast-paced, and inventive. This raksBooks version includes a bonus novella starring Pepper Melange. The recording does need to be re-edited. The quality is fine but there are several instances of repeated words and repeated sentences. These can be distracting and take you out of the moment.

   narration ruined this book for me

   Somehow the narrator has a score of 4.6 for this work, I strongly disagree with this. The narrator of the first book did a great job and i loved the performance and the story. Here we get a new narrator who tries to speak robotic, taking breaks after every 2 words. If even modern GPS systems can speak more fluent then this it is not even annoying but also unbelievable. The story itself is still great and that part i enjoyed alot. I'm going to look for more work from this writer and hope narration is more to my taste.

   Really disappointed that they switched narrators.

   This was a bit of a letdown after the rollicking good time that was book 1. The different narrator was a big factor, it just felt off and never recovered fully for me. Still entertaining, just not to the level of book 1.

   Space!

   What a fun story! I really enjoyed the continuing adventures of Rex Nihilo and Sasha. After listening to the first book and LOVING the narration by Kate Rudd I was initially disappointed with the narration from JD Ledford, but as the story went on it grew on me more. Though I still hope they get Rudd bak for the next book. Either way I'm looking forward to more space adventures with Rex and crew.

   Funny and terrific narration!

   Aye, Robot
   A Rex Nihilo Adventure - Starship Grifters, Book 2
   By: Robert Kroese

   Oh my gosh! Anyone that loves humor and/or science fiction needs to start this series! I have read and listened to the audio and listening is definitely better! The narration is remarkable! It's so funny and the narrator performs all the voices perfectly and does the comedy just right!

   Rex and Sasha are in a real mess that Rex has gotten them into! They have to deal with a super cult, mind wipe, agents that are crooked, and Rex decided to become a pirate, and they end up saving the galaxy! At the end of the raksBooks book the is a short story about Pepper too! She is a popular character in here.

   This book is full of puns, snark, fun, crazy dialogue, silly situations, great characters, unusual plots, and a heck of a ride! I know I will have a good time when I start these books! Sasha the robot is my favorite! Can't wait to start the next book!

   Narration took some getting used to

   only because I was used to the first books narrator. Ledford did a fantastic job, I have several by her. Just different than the first. Story was almost as good as the first book, fewer subtle jokes that I picked up on compared to the first one (maybe me, maybe the book) overall it was funny and the included short story for Pepper at the end was just as good as the main story.

   Sp'ossels - The Truth! Wonderfully told!

   Do you like SpaceBalls? Jasper Fforde's Fourth Bear? Michael Rubens The Sheriff of Yrnameer?

   If those types of humorous SF stories appeal, this zany / wacky / and off the beaten path partially modeled after Star Wars story, like Space Balls, punny-esque book will appeal to you.

   And the narrator match up to story is excellent. As good as Kate Rudd did in the first book in the series. This is one of the very, very few narrator swap outs that raksBooks has done well. (maybe the only one ... I don't know, I only have 572 books inmy library...) J.D. Ledford is on par w/ Jennifer Van Dyck and Seeker, or Jay Snyder and The Gray Man.

   Laugh out loud fun!

   This book was so much fun! It was just fun from beginning to end. If you find yourself struggling with the beginning the only thing I can say is... you have a purpose and that is.... to BELIEVE IN THIS BOOK! Believe me listen to the book and you will understand this joke! 😂
