Will they be enough?

The Henry Gallant series, with the military action fast and the personal lives of the characters explored, just keeps getting better. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the narrator. Previously performed by either Theodore Copeland or Rich Miller, this time the book was read by Jennifer Groberg. And yes, read, not performed. Although her voice was not unpleasant and the narration clear and well intoned, her delivery was slightly jerky, rather than smoothly spontaneous, each word separated and precise: distracting. As were the mispronunciations, such as 'supetuous' instead of 'superstitious', and later an apparent merging of 'artistic' and 'autistic' on numerous occasions. And, although a much lesser point, she seemed to make no attempt to differentiate between the protagonists voices when they were speaking. Narration is such an integral and important part of an audio book and, especially coming after two talented voice actors, sadly Ms.Groberg's performance failed to enhance the story.
This is a very enjoyable series with a good balance of action and personality. Although each part could be read selerately, one of the pleasures is following Henry Gallant in his progress through his life and career, book by book. My thanks to the rights holder from whom I received a freely gifted complimentary copy of Captain Henry Gallant and I am looking forward to the next in the series.
The waiting was always the worse.
