Not a bad series just a bad author

I’ve said this before but Dirk Pattons hubris overwhelms this series. He must not have been happy with what he got for the V Plague Series so he is now pushing (extremely) short stories for maximum profit and making buyers waste a full credit for 3 separate books that should have been packaged as one, maybe two. Then to top it off he skimps on a decent narrator and reads the books himself which completely ruins the (decent) stories he can write. He isn’t able to evoke any emotion when reading and often times a supposedly “thrilling” ending sentence just ends… and you’re left wondering what the heck just happens. No emotional buildup to let you know something good is coming, just a monotone, adenoid-voiced reading of the phone book. We the listeners have to parse out the events. Don’t get me started on his attempts at any sort of accent. He can’t portray anything but himself.

If he put more thought into what his buyers wanted he’d most definitely sell more books but it seems to be about what he wants and the rest of us don’t matter.
