Intricate Plot, Excellent Performance
Revisado: 04-16-25
At first I thought that this was going to be an uninspired, formulaic American Hero novel. I was wrong. While it incorporates all of the elements basic to such a work the plot twists and many layers revealed the imagination and craft of the author. Importantly this audio book is supported by an outstanding performance. Then tenor and tone along with the ability to separate characters in dialogue with believable accents kept me listening. Kudos!

Historia
Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He’s also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as an Orphan, an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: An assassin. Evan was Orphan X - until he broke with the program and used everything he learned to disappear. But now someone is on his tail.

Clever Take
Revisado: 03-28-25
Orphan X is a unique and clever, take on a formulaic human hero storyline. It kept me engaged and looking forward to the next chapter and finally to the next book in the series. The performance was outstanding. GOOD JOB to all involved.

Historia
Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months and died at the age of just thirty-five, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt, he is remembered as the acme of kingship, a model to be closely imitated by his successors. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study in youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship. For one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, “the greatest man who ever ruled England.”

Amazing Book & Fantastic Storyteller

Fascinating History!
Revisado: 12-18-24
Author and narrator, Dan Jones did a wonderful job describing Henry V’s life and the era in which he lived. I feel like I have a better understanding for this time in English history. Historical works can sometimes be caught up with so many names, dates, and places that they become analogous to a tangled ball of yarn, hard to follow. This is NOT the case with Mr. Jones‘s effort. Henry V is clear, easy to follow, skillfully written, narrated and interesting!Thank you Mr Jones!

Historia
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Well narrated story
Revisado: 08-23-24
The plot did not inspire this reader but I don’t think it was the author’s intent to inspire. He examined a small slice of the American Pie and articulated truth as he saw it. Ed Harris delivered with a good narration.

Historia
Before he was the Gray Man, Court Gentry was Sierra Six, the junior member of a CIA action team. In their first mission, they took out a terrorist leader, at a terrible price. Years have passed. The Gray Man is on a simple mission when he sees a ghost: the long-dead terrorist, but he's remarkably energetic for a dead man. A decade of time hasn't changed the Gray Man. He isn't one to leave a job unfinished or a blood debt unpaid.

Revisado: 07-28-24
Mr Greaney comes up with yet another original and complex plot excellently narrated to keep this reader’s attention. Maybe I’ll take a breather and read some history after which it’s off to the next book in the series.

Innocence and generosity turn to suspicion and perseverance as suspense builds to a climactic conclusion in this believably narrated tale. An excellent “read”! Well done!

The author paints a poignant portrait, narrating his arduous journey as a nine year old old traveling “alone” but with newly met loving compadres from El Salvador’to Tucson where, after years of separation, he rejoins his parents. This beautifully written and narrated first person account brings humanity to the faceless, nameless people who, against all odds,seek the American Dream.

A Fantastic Listen
Revisado: 06-29-24
I can see why this book was nominated for a Pulitzer. The writing is superb, and in terms of the audio production, the readers were nothing less than fantastic, capturing, filling out the characters. They were equal to the level of the outstanding writing. It is not my usual genre, but if you are interested in history, as well as the mystery of this unfathomable experience that we call life ya just gotta listen to this!!!
