Super fun listen

Great story, always exciting. I had a hard time pressing pause when I had to go back to work or sleep. It's an audio page turner, if you will.

good stuff

Some reviewers call this derivative--Crichton, maybe, or Cussler, but of course all those go back much further, to King Solomon's Mines and other Haggard tales, which most likely come from the Arabian Nights before that. This is a good addition to that pantheon and should be judged on its own merits. Sure, it may be a bit contrived, but it goes to good places and asks more than the obvious questions, and provides plenty of good action along the way.

OMG!!! awesome

this story was truly great it had you riveted as to what was going to happen next. and it had humorous moments between all of them so just anwesome audiobook. i could listen again tomorrow.

Artfully developed

Great story. Artfully developed. Just the right amount of details. Ray Porter is perfect as usual.

Not Fargo Adventures, But Clever

Would you consider the audio edition of Ramsey's Gold to be better than the print version?

Yes, as reader brought Jack and Spenser to life in the first 1/2 of book. Thanks Audible for 1st in series sale. I was able to check out new authors and readers.

Note: I do use new 1.25x speed to match the author's intent.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

well for me Mr Blake used his talents on the Clussler series, then when he was able to go on his own, he had to go the opposite direction from the Fargo characters. This is Ok for me as 3/4 of story was fast paced, strong characters and good dialogue and worth the listening time.
However, the last 1/4 lead up to next in series, good, but the dialogue was a bit too mushy for me. Therefore, I don't feel incline to go to book #2 hence the 3 stars (4 or better stars are re listens for me.)

Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

Jack was great.
My apologies to Mr Porter who reads the Flat Spin series, he is great in his own right.
I made a mistake on a possible AKA. I stand corrected.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Loved the Jack scenes. Editor, please take note as more is needed.
