Meh

Revisado: 04-17-25

This is just not my style. Larson, could be yours. He is just not mine. I don't really care for the reader either. There is nothing really wrong with the book or reader. I don't want to be to critical because it is more style preference than anything else.

Another Great Listen

Revisado: 01-16-25

These are fun mind candies worth listening to about the USA's greatest period, WWII.

The "saintification" of MacArthur is a bit too much for me though.

Standard Modern MarySue Stuff

Revisado: 05-16-24

I was looking for an alternate history book when I came across tlthis book. I like some of Stirling's stuff but this was just bad. The antagonist was a typical MarySue. Every time some issue came up she had a specific teaching from her parents or "The Mentor". Was the best at every weapon and skill. And spoke every language under the sun and was able to understand subtle linguistic differences to identify the entire life history of a person. To end it all off, MarySue is a lesbian about to groom a younger girl. Pure dreck.

As for the alternate history... the basic change in history, Teddy Roosevelt winning a 3rd term, is a great starting point. Then it became basically WW2 moved up ~25 years.

Summary: Wish I had the time spent on this book back.

The Death of a Series That Started With Such Promise

Revisado: 01-25-24

The first book in the series introduced you to a very interesting, developed, and thought provoking world. However, as the series went on the story just went down the formalic plot points for the "modern audiences ".(You know the ones that don't support anything) So, it is not surprising that a series that started out so well and probably gone on for seven (7) or more books has come to such an abrupt end. I really hope it was Hearne's publishers that pushed him down this disastrous path. If it was Hearne's decision (which I am afraid it was) then either A) he has learned his lesson and goes back to classical story telling or B) I find another author who has such talent and support them.

As for the narrators, it did not seem like their hearts' were in this one either.

A Decent Enough Generic History of the Templars

Revisado: 09-08-23

If you know nothing about the real history of the Templars this is a good place to start.

Unexciting want to be Indy Jones Crystal Skull

The narrator is second rate which fits the storyline and the author's writing. Do not waste your money or credit on this like I did.

Make the bad man stop writing

Revisado: 05-23-23

The pacing of this book is horrendous. The character development / arcs are none existent. Most of it is written as an after action report not characters interacting or doing things. The narrator is a nasally almost monotone bore. You should not waste a credit or money on this book. Do not make the mistake I made buying and listening to this book.

These books keep getting worse

Revisado: 05-23-23

The first book in the series, The Iron Dragon, was ok, and I hoped the author would improve with this book. If anything he got worse. Their is less character development and interaction and more of an after action report feel to large chunks of the book. The narrator is subpar and is almost the equivalent of "Bueller? Bueller?". I wanted a different narrator but hope was crushed mercilessly beneath the heel of reality. Save your money or credit and stop at book 1. Don't make the mistake I made.

An Enjoyable take on the Robin Hood tale

Revisado: 05-02-23

I always like Lawhead's books. The King Raven series is an enjoyable take on the Robin Hood tale. It is also always nice to hear / read a story that is not afraid to have religion in it and portrays it in a non-negative light.
