Great Reader, story got a little silly

I loved the first Buck Rogers book "Armageddon 2419"... but this sequel is not as good in my opinion. I had to power through it because it didn't keep my attention as much. I would still recommend listening or reading to it because it completes the story.

Although racist and technologically primitive, this wonderfully well narrated tale is worth a listen.
