Executive

Basil Sands’ narration is the standout here—his voice has the gravitas of a seasoned warlord, perfectly matching the protagonist’s cold, calculating ruthlessness. He doesn’t just perform the dialogue; he *commands* it, making every threat feel like a physical blow and every strategic move resonate with weight. The pacing is relentless, which works for the story’s tone, but there are moments where the sheer volume of action borders on overwhelming. I found myself pausing occasionally to mentally reset between battlefield strategies, corporate coups, and alien power struggles—Anthony doesn’t waste time on filler, but the density might leave some listeners breathless. That said, the production quality is top-notch; the sound design is clean, with no distracting artifacts, and the pacing never feels rushed despite the story’s breakneck speed. My biggest critique? The Executive’s inner monologue can veer into repetitive self-justification, as if Anthony’s trying to hammer home the theme of power’s seduction a little too hard. But if you’re here for a protagonist who’s as fascinating as he is terrifying, Sands’ performance alone is worth the listen—just be prepared for a story that doesn’t flinch from the cost of victory.
