But yeah, the last chapter really feels like it belongs at the end of a _section_, not at the end of the whole book. Reminds me of Tad Williams that way -- his books end right in the middle of the action, and you have to get the next book. This one's not quite that bad (ROT13 spoiler: ng yrnfg gurl tbg bhg bs gur pvgl), but still, it definitely needs a couple of sequels. Interesting.

The only thing is that, now that I have finished it, I want more and can't find anything else. Do you have any plans for the second book yet?

Enjoyed the story but seems as though the ending is just the beginning. I’d have to say a few of the chapters were narrated quite fast but still very listenable.

I like the brisk narration pace. One reason I usually prefer reading to audio books is that the pace can be mind-numbingly slow. Your pace was just right, in my opinion. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Just finished listening to the first three chapters….great story, Jeff!

But adding a little space (5-10 seconds of music) between the chapters would increase suspense. You don’t have to try narrate like anyone else, it still is a gem in your style.

I know - I'm constantly fighting that as I'm narrating. It's tough to be compared to the master (Nathan), but it inspires me to try to do better. Thanks. Fast paced?

If you could just add some bit of the intro music between the chapters it would be give me a chance to breath. Anyway great stuff.

Episode one is described as chapters one through three but only has chapters one and two. Episode two then starts at chapter four it seems that chapter three has been misplaced? I was enjoying listening to this story but have been stopped by the missing chapter. I do not want to listen to episode two without listening to chapter three. What happened to chapter three?
