Revisado: 12-02-15
Would you listen to Sheppard of the Argonne again? Why?
Yes, I enjoyed listening to the naval battles fought between the Americans, British and Germans.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sheppard of the Argonne?
The flashback to Sheppard in Command of the Shenandoah at the Battle of Pearl Harbor. The detail of the description of events and perspective from the main character felt better than seeing it play out on the big screen.
What does Lee Alan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He provides excellent sound effects and good believable accents for the various character nationalities. The background music Lee Alan adds builds on the suspense, making you eager to listen to how the battles will unfold.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The Battle of Cape Vilan, the author's attention to detail and ability to keep the listener in suspense as to what the outcome would be are commendable.
Any additional comments?
This book is definitely worth listening to if you are a fan of military fiction or of flawed heroes/protagonists needing to rise to the occasion. This is no John Wayne or Robert Mitchum tough as nails action thriller, it is a story with characters that can easily play out in the real world.
