Appreciate the podcasting of the novel, but to me, just seemed way too scattered a plotline with no great finale to wrap it up. The ideas are good though. Lots of good "short stories" in there.

Masterfully narrated and a great story with sci fi and historical twists. Well worth a listen.

What a pity the reader didn't check the pronunciation of words he was unfamiliar with before making the recording. Archipelago, mellifluous, amenable are all mangled. He also reads too quickly, making the transition between dialog and description hard to catch.

I've read a lot of podcasts, and most of the good ones get almost universally good reviews. I can't explain the negative ratings, as I thought the story was top notch. Well worth your time, particularly since it is free in this format.

Unique and wonderful. The mystery kept me guessing until the end; and the sci-fi element was awesome too.

I love the story and the tie-in with the pre-historic times, but the transitions between parts (and even the beginning of the book) are abrupt and can be disorienting. The reader (and audio editor) hit his stride near the end of part 3, when he started to differentiate voices, which helped keep...Read full review »

Like karaoke, where singing is best left in the shower, this writing was better left upon a shelf. The reader will have you slitting your wrist in two chapters or less. With his best friend only hours dead, our hero finds himself in a house with a beautiful woman fighting-off an erection. I...Read full review »

For the most part, I enjoyed this story. Some of the ideas seemed a little far-fetched but once the story get going, its easy to overlooks some of these issues. Perhaps I am a little slow, but at times I got lost during the narrative. This is however, a truly unique story.

An interesting, well-painted story which keeps you going from start to finish.

The Silk Code was great! Bold concepts and interesting science. I especially like the historical parts. The reader Shaun Farrell was great. Most of the podcast novels have really bad readers but Shaun was perfect aside from some questionable/so so English accents that I grew to like by the end...Read full review »

This is an intelligent story that combines loads of interesting ideas and history with good characters. Not a combination you find that often. Thank you for creating this podcast, which is the first book I've ever "listened" to. Made for some good jogs. I'd buy books by this guy. Nice narrating,...Read full review »
