The gulf between heartworlders and fringes

Revisado: 01-24-24

Rule by entitled people far away never goes well. It’s colonialism all over again and always comes as a big surprise when the colonials decide they are unwilling to continue to be slaves.

Noise

Revisado: 05-02-23

Could not understand a word. Too much sound effects, not enough substance. Maybe it was good, but who could tell?

F-

Revisado: 03-19-23

I don’t know what the hell this author was trying to say, but it reads like a lunatic’s stream of consciousness. This was supposed to be a sci-fi classic and I suppose it might be if you drop strong acid before you start reading it. As for me I abandoned it after sixteen chapters of babbling nonsense, stupidity and invented words that made no sense at all. I don’t often bail on a book, but this one is not worth inflicting on anyone.

Long and tedious

Revisado: 01-03-23

Not a bad story if you’re into post-apocalyptic stories. I found it difficult to read and stay with. It was too long and the payoff felt stilted.

Bloody Tarawa

Revisado: 01-06-22

I was surprised and delighted to find this title as an Audible "free-be". It's one of the best regarded books on the subject.
Tarawa was one of the bloodiest battles in American history and the first seriously contested amphibious operation in the central Pacific. The lessons learned there allowed the Navy and the Marines to fight their way to Saipan, Guam, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. This book shows the mistakes, missteps and what it took to win. It's a great, if sobering, story of a pitched battle fought well by both sides.

We’ve read this before

Revisado: 07-12-21

It’s a shame when a writer gets stuck and their formula has become boring. The Joe Ledger series may continue but, it has really been over for the last four books. The stinker just stuck a fork in it: it’s done.

Not very good.

Revisado: 03-29-21

Most of the profiles are almost word for word from Wikipedia. Only good as a brief overview and runs less than an hour. Don’t expect any insights. There are much better. Keep looking.

Well, this is different!

Revisado: 12-15-20

Wasn't expecting this from Taylor. It's different enough to make it interesting. Interesting enough to make me look forward to more. As always- a solid performance by Ray Porter.

monotonous

Revisado: 12-15-20

It was like watching NASCAR- the characters all run around in circles and occasionally a few run into the wall and blow up. Action shouldn't be boring and repetitive. This was actually too boring to finish.

boring, predictable PC craptacular

Revisado: 11-01-19

Zombie fiction is pretty much a genre unto itself. You can find a great deal better than this crappy, craptacular crap-fest. I absolutely hated it and did not finish it. It's derivative, it's PC and it stars a Mary Sue: all the BS trademarks that make millennial fiction completely worthless. Your first clue is zombies crawling out of a hole because... climate change, then Mary-Sue takes over and it goes downhill with all the usual cliches like insane, corrupt military officers, Mary-Sue knowing better than actual scientists what to do and a host of completely incompetent beta males. Save your credits for something that reeks a great deal less than this turd sandwich.
