Another great book Mr. Larson

Revisado: 09-30-24

Excellent piece of historical writing. Not surprising based on the Author's previous work. Learned and reinforced the following:
1. Slavery was THE factor for the civil war. Disregard the apologetic attempts to focus on "state rights" and similar false narratives.
2. President Buchanan and his administration shot to being near the top of the worst Presidents in history (sharing company with Bush Jr , Trump, Nixon, etc.) Their cowardice, willful ignorance, and traitorous behavior ushered in the horrific civil war.
3. Major Anderson (commander of Fort Sumter) had guts and showed military smarts when it came to dealing with an impossible situation.

excellent first two books and then awful third book in this series

Revisado: 06-29-24

Did the same author who wrote the first two books write the third one? The first two were fun and surprising page turners. The third one was a dreadful overwritten slog. I almost stopped listening a few times. If you want to finish the series recommend skipping the entire third book except for the last hour or so... BTW the Narrator did a good job telling the story

A story that allows you to cheer for the monsters

Revisado: 08-22-23

Pleasantly surprised the author didn't go for a typical ending. Best horror story In years. Despicable characters that get what's coming ;-) but still provides a little sliver of hope.

Nice to have Finn back in action

Revisado: 06-21-22

A good follow-up to Steel Fear. While it isn't necessary to have had the previous book you will understand some of the reference points better if you have. The story moves briskly, great new characters introduced, and the descriptions of Iceland and it's culture are very interesting. Some of the plot pieces and devices toward the end don't all make sense (dont passports have holographic anti forgery tech now?) it still is a heck of an enjoyable read and I look forward to the authors next book.

pleasantly surprised

Revisado: 02-19-22

WOW. Took a shot in the dark (pun intended) on this vampire story and I am glad I did. Amazing production values, good story, and wonderful performances. I didn't see some of the twists coming and liked how they even joked about some of the logic gaps, etc. Hope to see the second part of this soon.

One of the best Aliens books

Revisado: 05-04-21

Love when an author takes risk and boy did this book take a big one. Well outside what we may normally get in the Aliens universe this book is filled with fresh ideas, memoriable characters, and nonstop excitement. The author did a nice job with the world building and he created one of the best new heroine characters outside of Ripley herself. It's a cliche but getting a book like this on the screen would be so much more interesting than some of the recent attempts at Alien based movies. Highly recommend this book.

Shockingly Awesome

Revisado: 05-04-21

I am flabbergasted. This book was way better than I thought it would be. Not only did the author bring the Gladiator combat to life but he also mixed in world building, character development, and political intrigue. Took a moment to get use to the narrator's style but even that turned out to be great. Highly recommend.

Did IQs suddenly drop?

Revisado: 04-19-21

RC Bray still brings a phenomenal performance but unlike the previous books in this chapter there are many uncharacteristic logic mistakes with characters not making sound decisions. examples: a super scifi limo that Collie never tells anyone how to operate?, why mention that the little girl may be special and never deal with it again, wouldn't someone have just killed the Spider about 3 times, why would Collie not just shoot the tires out when he escapes in a regular pick-up, would have been nice to have the big bad suffer more in their death scene, not giving a gun to Top Gun gets ridiculous, etc. Also we the series continues to get more and more littered with homophobic slurs, unnecessary. Still, there is good humor sprinkled about and the action is nonstop. Hopefully the next in the series will fix some of these opportunities and be as awesome as the rest of the books.

great addition to the Alien universe

Revisado: 04-19-21

Outstanding scifi novel set in the Alien universe. Narrator does a beautiful job bringing to life a ton of characters. Wish they would use novels like this as basis for the films.

excellent sequel to book 3

Revisado: 03-28-21

Didn't think this book would be able to match the awesome book 3 but it does. I especially liked all the side characters, villians, and expansion of this apocalyptic world.
