Gets better and better
When I purchased the first book, not being my usual sci-fi listen, I was open minded.
This series of books goes from strength to strength as the series progresses and it is one of the best series I have purchased.
I would certainly recommend this series.

Awful narrating
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This book, although a really interesting story and I'm still tempted to buy it to read myself, was incredibly difficult to follow due to the incredibly poor narrating. Really cringey reading and didn't flow very well. Nevertheless, if you're into fantasy stories I think it would be a really interesting book to read yourself. Particularly apt for anyone who enjoyed The Host or Hunger Games.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Didn't make it that far.
Would you be willing to try another one of MacLeod Andrews’s performances?
No
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Irrational irritation at the narrators voice
Any additional comments?
none.

James Bond Meets Witch Mountain
This book is what you' d get if you put James Bond and the Disney Witch Mountain series into a blender. This is a great book and is actually the best of the three in this series in my opinion. This is so action packed and over the top, but it works beautifully. This ends the series well but leaves plenty to explore in the next book (which he is currently working on).
Macleod Andrews is top notch. There are a lot of characters and each sounds different. In fact, none of the myriad of voices even sound similar to characters in other series he reads. How he pulls that off is beyond me. Simply Amazing. This is a great novel and definitely worth a listen.

A Great Series at a Great Price
I got hooked into this immensely interesting universe by a couple of good reviews and a special price for the first of the three books. The pricing set at $9.79 per book with each providing from 11 - 15 hours of great entertainment wasn't necessary to keep me going, but it sure didn't hurt. This pricing may not last, so I would recommend not burning a credit here and picking up as many as your pocketbook will allow.
My wife is currently delighting in book two of this series and she isn't even a science fiction fan - she is just a fan of a well written book. You will find three of them in the Rho Agenda series.
These books were so enjoyable, I actually could have been talked into using two credits on the last one. I loved the story-lines, the science felt right and the characters were superbly handled. Most importantly the ending was satisfying and still left me wanting more.
Although a lot of loose ends were sewn up in this series finale, I was left wondering about a special talent that Jack Greggory possessed and the status of a certain newly born child.
And - Lo and behold, my check of the listings for this author shows a new book has just popped up into my view that purports to explain my first question about Jack. It is selling for only $7.90 and weighing in at 11 hours already has 120 favorable reviews.
I'm definitely not going to use up a credit here (they cost me more) and get this book as soon as this review gets submitted.
