There are two versions of that particular book - Path of the Fury and In Fury Born. Path of the Fury was the original and about half the length. In Fury Born included a prequel and added stuff. I suspect that you would have enjoyed Path of the Fury a lot more. It was written fairly early in Weber's career (1992) and perhaps the third of Weber's books to be published. You might say that it was the version before he could overpower the editor.
I liked the additional material, but I can see where it might get a bit tedious in an audiobook.
Hum. I got the book via baen's websubscription. I can buy the audiobook for $29.39 or I can re-buy the kindle version for $6.99 and add the audiobook for another $7.49. So $29.39 or $14.48. Gosh, which to do which to do...
