The Beast of Tsunam

Rev Smalley: Galactic P.I., Book 1

By: Scott A. Combs

Narrated by: Rand Doerning

Rev Smalley, Galactic P.I., a disgruntled retired EIA - Earth Intelligence Agency - agent is down on his luck without clients, money, or a current lover. Rev’s luck is about to change - just not necessarily for the better.

Rev finds that his former boss, Magnus Blackheart, has sent his ex-lover, Cassie Townes, and her current EIA partner, Braz, to the utopian planet, Tsunam, on a diplomatic request to investigate a mauled body. The two agents disappear soon after arriving, and Magnus forces Rev back into service to find his missing agents.

Fantastic start of a series

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, this was an entertaining and quirky sci fi adventure. The narration was really quite good and the author does a great job world building. The characters were engaging and fun. If you like sci fi and/or murder mysteries, this is well worth a credit.

Science Fiction Adventure

The Beast of Tsunam is a fast paced science fiction adventure story. Written in the style of L Ron Hubbard pulp sf, it has heroes, villains, damsels in distress, and more than a touch of comedy. But, thankfully, no moralizing! Rand Doerning narration was admirable, handling a sentient A I, monsters, and a young Irish lady, all with equal aplomb.

I received a free copy compliment of AudioBookBoom.

Came expecting good, ended with something great!

The book started normal and then kept picking up the pace with more intrigue and twists. It was a book that keeps you guessing,while keeping the story entertaining and lively. I particularly liked Flint's growth as a character. As an afterthought, I believe that he never got to use his phosphorous-termite bullets. Can't wait to read the next one in the series.
