The Hunt portrays the frenzied aftermath of the devastating Thule Society attacks. Famed fantasy and sci-fi author Mercedes Lackey and newcomer Steve Libbey have joined forces to create a superhero-themed braided novel podcast series called The Secret World Chronicle. The series depicts an ensemble cast of metahuman characters coping with worldwide attacks by a mysterious, technologically advanced Nazi secret society, and the ensuing chaos. The Secret World is a meeting ground for pulpy adventure and thoughtful science fiction speculation, where ordinary people are elevated above their fellow humans and must grapple with the consequences of their newfound abilities.

Well done on Veronica Jigare's (sorry if I misspelled it) part of narrating. Though the editing quality was lacking. I ran into long pauses, mistakes left in and un-equalized speech that makes it hard to listen to. Other than that, Mercedes Lackey exceeded my expectations with plot and characters. She is able to do science fiction just as well as fantasy. And I would think that doing collaborations with other authors would be difficult, even with experience. I am not belittling Steve Libby, I simply don't have any references from past works. I do think that he has done well and I'll keep him on my "Authors To Look For" list. In summary: the story and narrating is engaging; though the audio made me want to edit it just to have the satisfaction of making something better. Would Podiobooks accept a revision from a concerned listener?

This is terrible reordering. It needs to be edited. repeating sentences, snaps as if should be edited. Almost unlistenable. I have never had a problem with any books found on librivox.

Love this series, I would highly recomend

These books are written well. I like the reader, though this book had a lot more stopping and re reading sentences.

Definitely needs editing still. The constant errors and re-reads really break up the flow of the story.

Wow I dropped this book months ago since it was so long since the last update. Glad it finally finished. I hope that if there is a book three that it updates much faster than book two did. Thanks for getting the last two episodes out there though, future listeners ...

I am so glad this one is finished! I have been checking back off and on because these stories are just amazing. I'm about halfway done with this one and am eager to return to the Echo world. Can't wait to finish and get started on the third. I love ...
