Better late than never

I was annoyed that the audiobook was delayed by a month and intended to rate it lower as such. However this book was a new high bar for both the author and the narrator and I couldn't give this any less than it deserved. though I would love a spin off series following the adventures of Hightower now.

6 stars.

Revisado: 11-26-24

I'd give the narration and writing 6 stars if possible. it's short, sweet, and we'll balanced. This will be on my relisten list for awhile.

Fairly disappointing

Revisado: 09-11-24

The story just doesn't hold up as compared to the last ones. The stakes aren't there and it feels like the whole book is just a contrived way to shift the paradim for the next books. Maybe wait to pick this one up.

Fantastic Narration, Overhyped writing

Revisado: 02-25-21

The narrator knocks this book out of the park, and it almost justifies giving it a listen. But I'm nearly through the first book, and the only major plot twists are laughably predictable. The side characters read like a call of duty script. While the main character is a great discussion on veteran suicide, it doesn't rectify the fact that the author never explains why they are fighting "the bad guys."

Honestly, this book is what a thriller would be written from the antagonists perspective. Especially if the antagonist doesn't know the protagonist is coming.

Messy, with truth and opinion interwoven

Revisado: 12-05-19

As a trained historian looking to branch out into new field I picked this book up to listen to driving over the holidays, but the inconsistencies were enough to drive me insane. This is not a history of native peoples of the us, as the main talking points of the author seem to drift to the middle east more often than not, where the author often embellished facts with purposefully little clarification to purposely push their own narrative of the US military today. When sticking to their own field of study, the author did a very good job of making concise points that challenged my own viewpoints on many things, but this wonderful part of the book was overshadowed by a bias so prevalent I thought I was listening to cable news. I suggest picking up this book, but ultimately fact checking anything it states after the 1970's.

series review

Revisado: 08-21-18

This entire series is masterfully told with a cast of characters that all seem relatable. While i was disappointed in the story being split up in the last two books, for the quality of the overall world created in the series, it is absoloutely worth it.
