About this listen
Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of 10,000 years of the armorers' craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls "the Engine."

ANTS!
I loved this story, hardly a dull moment. I wish there were more.You may like this if you enjoy power armor, and humans being torn apart by alien creatures. 👍

Not as good the second time around
I originally read this book as a teen and was excited when I saw it in the selections for Audible. Whether due to maturing tastes or many other possible reasons it wasn’t as good as the first time I read it. Any part that involved Felix was fast paced and exciting, the part of the book that takes place 4 years later was slow and I found almost too long to get through. Enjoyable though.

Couldn’t finish
Didn’t like the portrayal of the female characters. Story seem slow and the narrator not diverse enough

Reduce Bass Before Listening
I’m not sure if it’s the naturally low frequency of the narrator or that a sound editor manipulated the voice but oh boy is it inconsistent audio. It would be fine if this were a voice actor in a game spouting out their exposition and then moving on with the story but in an audiobook format the consistent battering of Bass my ears are taking is a real issue.
Just be wary that although the story seems interesting I couldn’t finish it as the bass (even when I adjusted the audio manually) was enough to give a headache after several attempts to continue listening to the book. Recommend NOT listening with headphones or earbuds. As I listen to audiobooks while working my job supporting low functioning autistic individuals I found this one just wasn’t for me.

Amazing Story
I have read this novel or listened to this audio book at least 3 times a piece and every time it is so enjoyable. Action, humor and heartbreaking in equal shares.

Excellent performance of an excellent book.
I've had the original paper copy of this book since 88. I love to pull it out every 5 to 10 years to read it, but it's getting worn. Now I can listen any time I want!

Badass
Strong male characters not watered down by the current state of the world. Enlightening and engaging.
