Publisher's summary

When a huge alien spacecraft crashes on the island of Cuba, the world scrambles to investigate. Secretive organizations have waited for generations for this opportunity, and they do not hesitate to send in recovery teams. Cooperation between nations breaks down as every government wants the newly discovered technology for themselves. Naturally, the Cubans have beaten everyone else, and the island is beginning to change. Aircraft flying reconnaissance are swatted from the skies. Commandos can’t make a landing on the beaches without being annihilated. Malena Marin is a new XCU agent with special abilities. She’s sent with a team of veterans on a mission to secure the landing site or die trying. Unfortunately, the enemy knows they’re coming. As the conflict grows and turns increasingly violent, the aliens themselves enter the game. And they have plans of their own....

Solid story

Worth the credit, looking 4 more. Few oh sure moments. Good sense of realism. Romance, but not teenage immature.

Another homerun

Would you listen to Element-X again? Why?

Very entertaining and good story and awesome characters, all of it remind me of when Swarm just started.. Now we get to see it all again!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Malena, I like the way to gets things done.

Which scene was your favorite?

The landing and her figuring out the dome and what happened..

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Loved it like Swarm.

Any additional comments?

Awesome fun!

Not my cup of tea

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Normally I have liked or loved all of Mr Larson's stories. I just couldnt get into this one. The story just didnt have the grip on my attention that the Starforce series or the Haven series do.

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

Oh well

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Nothing really.

Could you see Element-X being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Any additional comments?

HEY AUDIBLE WHERE IS THE NEW STARFORCE AUDIOBOOK ITS BEEN OUT FOR 4 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Narration

The narrator made this book a lot better than it would have been without her. A good narrator can make or break a book no matter the story. This one made a one or two star book into a three and she was a five.

Silly.

Between the aliens and humans in this story, the aliens were far more believable than the human characters. The silly things the characters (ALL of them) said and did in any given scene was far too distracting to allow me to enjoy the story.

Good Story, But Could Have Been Much Better!

B. V. Larson is a very good writer. He wrote stories like STAR FORCE a Great saga that is still on going. This story is a good one in many respects but is drawn out and lacks action in some areas. It has a good plot to the story but fades in the jungle and on an alien ship. Very little is told about what the ship in side or out looks like. Some vage image you can imagine thats all.

Starts off slow and alittle askew...

Starts off slow and alittle askew but picks up nicely. Lots of action and great detailed descriptions. Great naration realky enjoyed thiss story.

Another good story and I am hoping for a 2nd book!

I couldn't stop listening to this book! It was action pack and so interesting. It kept me awake on a long drive to Florida from Texas. I truely hope that Larson continues this series.

Very cool story. A little short.

I feel like I listened to half of a book by the time i was done. I want answers and i didn't get them. Aliens,secret government agents stealing the aliens technology, craziness.

Dont get me wrong,this was a very entertaining listen,but it left me wanting more. It felt like half of a thought almost at times. That will not stop me from getting the next in the series.

OK

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

Good read, passed the time not super suspense

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

Ok little predictable

Did Carol Monda do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes good characters

Could you see Element-X being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Not this one
