Survival (Species Imperative #1)

“I study salmon!” is more a question than an exclamation. Why would someone who studies salmon migration be the key to saving all the worlds? Well it took a long time to get that answer. It was a journey that was at times interesting, at times frustrating and for some may be boring. But if you enjoy world building, albeit slowly, this book may be enjoyable. I was satisfied with the ending even though it was not truly an ending. I will be checking out the next book. I really enjoyed the writing style. Not being a professional critic and not great with descriptions, I’ll just say it was smooth, colorful and relatable. However, because the narrator spoke so slowly, which at first I enjoyed, I did notch up the speed near the end and I found that helpful to move the story along at a better speed. I did feel the narrator did an excellent job except for two things: the slow speed of narration and the male voices. Usually badly done male voices don’t bother unless they are done in that deep gravelly voice which most men unless they are 100 years old, don’t speak. This narrator did actually have one male voice that worked for me. Unfortunately it was a minor character. This narrator needs to listen to other female narrators who are able to subtlety change the voice to make it be male without going down to the deep gravelly fake voice. (In other audiobooks, male narrators doing absurdly high almost ear piercing tones are annoying too.) Generally I liked the book.

I\’ve read this book before, but when I found it on Audible, I was overjoyed! I love it!!!
