Dirk Pitt has more lives than a house cat! He rescued Napoleon and the water resources if two nations. There is little left for him to do!

The Voice of Reacher Has Become Inconsistent!

Revisado: 11-18-21

Have you read Blue Moon? In that story, Reacher gets off a bus and proceeds to help a couple deeply indebt to an Eastern European mob in a town where two mobs are fighting to control crime, loan sharking and other bad acts. In that novel, Reacher makes his decision to help immediately. Does not think twice.

In Better off Dead, early in the story, Reacher attempts to go to sleep and spend 5 hours trying to figure out if he is going to help a former military officer try and find out what happened to her brother and possibly help her get revenge. I cannot recall in all of the past novel that Reacher ever took 5 hours to get to sleep. In fact, he would go to sleep, but set an internal clock and promptly be asleep until the designated waking hour. The introduction of Andrew Child to this series does not offer good news. Of course Reacher has been around for years, but his character is no different than any of Robert Parker's characters who continuation is made possible by other authors who manage to stay pretty close to the basics of each character.

Lee Child needs to improve his son's knowledge of Reacher. If Lee is responsible for the inconsistent voice, that's too bad. But I suspect its junior. 5 hours for Reacher to sleep? That is like having Tom Cruise portray Reacher in movies. Terrible!

Scott Brick does his usual great presentation and the story line is pretty good. The inconsistent characterization of Reach is sad to experience. Perhaps you will not notice.

Great Quinn Story!

Revisado: 05-13-21

This story was an exceptional tale for Quinn and his team, overcoming a group of truly evil business men! Well structured, nicely paced and a good outcome to end the story! Battles wrote a great book. Scott Brick was wonderful in reading the book and giving life to each character. Highly recommend for an outstanding listen!

Well Trained Hero Becomes Incompetent!

Revisado: 04-08-21

An expert in protection presents strong professional experience and leadership for 40% of the story and not only becomes fearful after exposure to a drug but becomes paranoid beyond belief. I was enjoying the book and premise and then the hero suddenly looses all of his training and turns into a Person with a Superman complex. I lost interest once the hero begin to think that none of the 3 groups seeking both him and a bad guy are unable to arrive at the same conclusion as he did about where to search for the bad guy. Very disappointing.

An Amazing Examination of what being Alive means!

Revisado: 11-02-20

Mr Scalzi book was compelling, entertaining and quite frightening. Imagine having only cognition of your mind with no body and no one else alive near you. I was so unsettled I stopped reading and put the story down for a night.

Great hero’s, nasty villains and soulless governments are presented in the story. Concisely offering complex characters and choices, Scalzi created a masterpiece. A haunting account of the greatness of individuals and the complexity of building nations.

This is a wonderful book and a great ending to a complex series. I highly recommend it to all!

Wow! A Great Tale!

Revisado: 10-24-20

This story and performance were exceptional! In the midst of amazing science fiction technology infused people and life, human needs, strong moral direction and human sacrifice were wonderfully illustrated in this audio presentation. A wonderful listen and a great invitation to the next book!

Great Story of Detection and Analysis!

Revisado: 09-05-20

Simenon’s story is a wonderful “who done it” with no one from the crime locale actually pushing to solve the murder of a philandering husband. Garett Armstrong performed his reading in great voices with outstanding drama and pacing. A great story to hear!

Martin Walker’s Bruno still tied up by old flames!

Revisado: 07-24-20

Will our local policeman ever stop having sex with old girlfriends and actually date a woman that is emotionally available? Bruno’s dog finds a friendly dam to spend time procreating to extend and enhance the breed, but our protagonist himself is engaged with women who continue to provide just empty sex. As for this convoluted story of a daughter of a Russian oligarch with the family of a born again British rock star, its more like a poorly made beef stew than a thoughtful creative mystery. If Mr Walker has lost his little gray cells and lacks the capacity to introduce new mysteries to his small region, then he should kill Bruno off and reinvent his writing ideas.

Robert Mackenzie was great as usual bringing life to this plodding book. Better to wait and borrow this book from a library than buy it yourself.
