About this listen

Evan Gabriel wasn't always a feared and respected North American Federation Navy Commander. Before dangerous missions to the ice-bound planet of Poliahu, the deadly jungle world of Eden, and politically corrupt Mars, he was a simple recruit, fighting to make his mark in the elite Naval Special Forces…and was part of a top-secret military experiment that would change his life forever.

Zero Point tells the tale of a young man faced with difficult choices and dangerous trials. Fans of the series will see part of the mysterious past Evan Gabriel carries with him, while listeners new to the series get a preview of what is to come in a military man's haunted life. Zero Point is the true beginning of Evan Gabriel, and his story is just getting started.

Critic reviews

"Umstead can write an action-packed adventure story better than most. He is an artist in designing a high-tech battlefield and weaving in the human element with his character's depth and color. If you like action in a science fiction setting then you really need to listen to this audiobook and give it a shot." (Tom Clementson, The Kindle Book Review)
"This series brings me back to the old days when sci-fi was about ass kicking, great friends, loyalty and action." (Amazon Reviewer)

I am not sure I enjoyed it.

If you listened to the sequels already and listened to this prequel then it makes sense. The narrator sounds so trying hard. I am not sure I enjoyed it.

Not my kind of thing

This was a SF shoot em up, probably very good if you like that kind of thing.
I've become semi-accustomed to US pronunciation, but even over there the plural of vortex is vortices.
Retreating rapidly back to my comfort zone...

Had a promising start but ended with indifference.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The initial set out was interesting and suspenseful once he got to the out of the lab but it soon became quite on obvious cliche. The battles afterwards become a repetitive engagement so I lost concentration near the end. As well as the preview.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Lost concentration. It's hard to dscribe an engaging scene when the protagonist has such high systems in his control. Neurotics this, neurotics that.

What aspect of Ray Chase’s performance might you have changed?

He has a habit of twinging his narration at the end of each sentence. Narration can be a bit more varied and less monotone and predictable.

Do you think Gabriel: Zero Point: The FREE Prequel Novella needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It should and it has. What Zero point is, is a prologue.

Any additional comments?

There is some parts of this book that I liked but from the the reaction of my attention span near the end, I feel like I would not continue to listen the follow-up series.
