by Todd Mcleod and Michael G. Thomas

Review Written by W. D. Douglass

Robots and Drones, Oh My!

As a representative of AudioBookReviewer.com here is a review on Robot Commandos written by Todd Mcleod and Michael G. Thomas. This book has a lot of potential. The author did do a great job painting the stage with his descriptions. However, I was left feeling that this was a rough draft and one more pass through would have made the book more of a success. 

Unfortunately, there was not enough world building or character development for me to care about the protagonist or his cause. The consisted of drones, robots, Japan's style main character, and fighting on another planet to force their way of life through their armies. These combined elements echo too closely to the Tau in the Warhammer 40k universe to be a fresh idea for me. The main character was too prefect, he was always in the right for every situation. In my opinion, lacking flaws makes for a less believable character. 

This was the first try at narration by the narrator, Toby Kinzer.  The impression I had was that he had not connected with the story or the characters.  It is clear that Kinzer is learning to fine tune his talent and will improve with each narration.

Editing and production was poor. The narrator sounded like he was talking into a tin can. Along with that the editing transitions were very noticeable and had repeating sentences.  This book has the potential to be much better but given the stated issues, it needs work.
