Great story, with almost no preachy politics this time around

Revisado: 11-14-24

Love the writing and the storyline. Thankfully significantly less contemporary political commentary in this installment.

'Pronoun' use was too distracting

Revisado: 08-09-24

I like a good fantasy book to escape modern life and enjoy an epic adventure.

The use of 'preferred pronouns' by characters in this book so distracted me from the performance and story line that I couldn't finish it and ended up returning it. I just kept getting dragged back into the culture wars and political chaos of modern life every time it came up..

Give me an old fashied D&D or fantasy book built on classic myths any day, but not this nonsense.

let the talent record together

Revisado: 11-21-21

Great story and great talent but conversations sound stilted in parts...likely from recording separately and splicing together. Human interaction has a rhythm that's hard to fake.

Would have been better without the politics

Revisado: 11-18-20

Great story...could have left out the partisan politics though...distracting and cost one of my favorite authors a 5th star.

Common fan but almost quit listening

Revisado: 10-11-20

tell myself as a common fans but the reference to Ashata Shakur during his discussion of his experimental phase about had me canceling and returning the book. I kept listening to see if he would repudiate as earlier support of this terrorist but was disappointed. that's when I remembered I didn't pay for the book it was a free offering which made me someone happier. come on common Shakur is not in keeping with what you profess is your current worldview in this piece.

Not magic...just good advice and common sense.

Revisado: 11-30-15

Much obviously taken from military manuals but also from well researched and reasoned analysis and some first hand experience.

Classic Ringo...being Ringo

Revisado: 05-03-12

Classic Ringo...being Ringo...with some help from the other guy I'm sure. As a former paratrooper I love almost anything Ringo writes because it reminds me of the conversations an attitudes I shared during my late teens/early 20's at Fort Bragg (when I wasn't deployed of course). Even though this was co-written it comes across as classic Ringo and the authors obvious knowledge and love of the canal zone added a neat travelog quality. Not as tightly written as some of the other stories in this series but I love a story where the right kind of soldier gets to lead the good fight! The non-human characters were interesting as well...especially with the way that the authors breathed a little...er humanity...into them.

I couldn't get past the Bees

Revisado: 05-03-12

I really wanted to like this book...what a great title after all...but I just couldn't get past the characters referring to the zombies as bees. Beyond that the survivors seemed to spend more time fighting each other than they did fighting the undead. I generally like the genre, but if there was anything positive worth mentioning I must have daydreamed through it...it just didn't capture my attention.

Classic juvenile sci-fi

Revisado: 05-03-12

Good municipal survival story. Picture the love child of Alas Babylon, the Jericho TV show and the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away...how's that for mixing my entertainment metaphors?
