I really enjoyed it !

Just finished listening to the book and must admit I really enjoyed it. The story is incredibly well structured with some very exciting scenes.
Excellent narration throughout that helped convey the emotions of the main character and helps build suspense like in the underground cavern section.
Will definitely be getting the next one soon. Can't wait to see how the story continues. Well worth a purchase and listen.

I’m shocked !!!!!

Man this is not me, I don’t give 5 stars but this one totally deserved it, I’m amazed at this creation, it’s totally beautiful and the narration is perfection ( great story and great performance ), I want more so much more, this must be continued as an Audio series !
There is so much more that needed to be said, that I want to say but I just can’t find the words.
Get this one is my advice to all, you won’t regret it I promise !!!!!!

Absolutely Brilliant! A fabulous Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Desert Runner to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print edition, but I can say that Andrea Parsneau did a fabulous job on the naration.

What did you like best about this story?

Considering the rather short length of this story the characters are fully developed and realised brilliantly.

What about Andrea Parsneau’s performance did you like?

Andrea Parsneau's performance can not be faulted, she breathed even more life into these already vivid characters.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Get in, buckle up, and hold on!

Any additional comments?

This was a brilliant book. The game world is unique and interesting and full of possibilities I can not wait to read more.

Brilliant

Although this is not the normal genre I listen to I loved it! The story is truly thrilling and the narration is brilliant. I can't wait to see what happens next in this gaming world and how relationships can work between all of the worlds.
