Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Caribbean, 1762. With the French in Canada defeated, the focus of Sergeant Hugh MacKim’s war shifts to the West Indies. Still with Kennedy’s Rangers, a French privateer captures his ship off the Bahamas, and the French captain murders the crew. From that point on, MacKim and the Rangers fight their way through the campaign, with battles on Martinico and Cuba only the backdrop to their personal war with Captain Rene Roberval of Douce Vengeance.

A rousing tale told by a story teller.

Just finished listening to A Sacrifice of
Pawns.
I enjoyed the book immensely and the voices and characterizations were top notch. Looking forward to reading the next one.
The characters and the locals were well formed and the author made it easy to identify with even minor characters that were woven in and out of the story line.
The story moved along at a fast pace (emphasized by the narrators tempo), with each scene - each event- drawing the listener ever deeper into the action. The build up to the final scenes didn't disappoint.
The entire tale was less like a book and more like a radio play of old. It lacked only the sound effects to complete the imagery. The collaboration between writer and narrator was well worth the effort.
Honestly, I doubt that I would have finished the written word but add to that the narration and it became impossible to not complete the journey.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 280
On December 7, 1941, as the great battleships Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah lie paralyzed and burning in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. A crack team of U.S. Navy salvage divers headed by Edward C. Raymer are hurriedly flown to Oahu from the mainland. Their two-part orders are direct and straightforward: (1) rescue as many trapped sailors and Marines as possible, and (2) resurrect what remains of America's once mighty pacific fleet. Descent Into Darkness tells their story.

Observations of a Salvage Diver.
Revisado: 01-03-23
Anyone interested in military history will love this first person narrative of WWII. As a Navy trained salvage diver, some 40 years removed, there were passages that set my heart racing. Presented in a straight forward manor, without histrionics, it took me right back to Pearl Harbor and my time both in the Submarine Service and as a Navy Salvage Diver.
