About this listen

They are the Earth's most revered protectors: Reed Richards, Susan Richards, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm - the Fantastic Four. Celebrities around the globe and defenders of mankind, these extraordinary individuals have sworn to confront the perils and challenges facing the modern world and each other, always with unyielding courage, unerring wisdom, and an unshakeable familial bond.

But their darkest hour may yet be at hand, as humanity's most frightening threat comes violently from beyond the stars...from the depths of the Negative Zone, a universe in a dimension parallel to our own - one first discovered years ago by Reed Richards himself. And it is this terrifying and deadly menace that will ultimately test the measure and mettle of four heroes sworn to protect the human race at any cost - even their own lives....

Solidly Aimed At Pre-Teens

I may be rating this audiobook too harshly. As a 52-year-old Fantasy-SciFi reader, I tend to prefer more "mature" offerings.. but still enjoy StarWars, LitRPG, WarHammer, and Comic Book universe entries.
That established, this Greg Cox story feels particularly unsophisticated. The action is great - but the plot is a straight-up "Good Guys versus Bad Guys" fight against homicidal entities from the Negative Zone (don't expect clever "control-the-universe" motivations.. "kill all humans" is good enough for these guys). On top of that, the characters are two-dimensional and the dialogue is ho-hum stereotypical (Sue cares about "Family First"; Ben wishes he wasn't a monster; Johnny is horny; and Reed wants to experiment on everything).

Doubtless, capable but cartoonish reading by George Newbern contributes to my impression of the book. At times, the audiobook sounds like an overacted Saturday Morning Kids' Show.

If you have Grade 6 kids in the car, this would be a great option for a cross-country trip to Grandma's.. but if you're an adult listening on your own, better options for your Credit exist than this relatively juvenile 6/10-star selection.
