Jack Davenport is such a good narrator, the storyline was great, definitely recommend this book.

Love it

In some series you do not have to read the books in order. That is not the case with HIVE. If you haven't read any of the other books, you need to start in order because there are LOTS of plot points revealed in this book which were brewing in the other two.

Otto's peculiar skills are explained and he continues to work on them. My boys (aged 8 and 10) were jealous of his computer-like talents (very hand for IT lessons at school ...). Romance blossoms (a bit) and there are lots of frantic action sequences.

My favorite characterization has to be Diabalous Darkdoom; famous super villain, highly intelligent, handsome ... but with a really silly voice which sounds rather like poor, timid Nigel. It made me crack up every time he came on.

This book in my opinion is possibly the best book in the series Aldo with this book series you would have to read it in order in order to understand what happened I also like the different personalities and the ever action-packed story along with a brilliant narrator that adds personality to this book in my opinion this is a book that you could read over and over again

Brilliant book and a great narrator. Thoroughly recommend this to tweens, teens and adults.
As an adult listening to this I can say I have very much enjoyed the ease of this story. That is not to say that there weren't a few surprises in the book. This series is defiantly worth getting.

Cool

Would you listen to Escape Velocity again? Why?

Absolutely, this is the best one of the series. The author has really got into his stride.

What other book might you compare Escape Velocity to, and why?

We have also enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series and although not as witty, this is similarly great action.

Which character – as performed by Jack Davenport – was your favourite?

Tricky one, Hive Mind is excellent and Jack's 'Wing' is much better than the next reader's.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Great movement all the way to the action climax
