How To Become Attached in just A Few Weeks’ Listen
Revisado: 05-03-25
Craig DeLouie has out done himself with this one. I’ve listened to this series four or five times, the first of which over a deployment to the Middle East. Initially I was skeptical, “who rights a fictional book about a fake submarine and a fake Captain?” I thought, but I was incredibly and happily wrong.
Every aspect of this book series, and the amazing voice over work, is amazing, and having talked with a submariner(my late grandfather) many times, I can say with honesty that the dedication to truth and realism is unmatched.

Humans are venturing up and out, and we’re taking our competitive spirit with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers, and seas have impacted civilizations around the world. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China, and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics and the world order as we know it. In this must-listen work, bestselling author Tim Marshall navigates the new astropolitical reality to show how we got here and where we’re heading.

And Outstanding View of the World and Tomorrow
Revisado: 06-17-24
One of the best epitaphs of our world as it stands currently and where it is headed. The author neither denies the most innate human properties, greed, domination, and curiosity, nor tries to justify them with altruism. A true level headed observation that should be required reading of anyone who cares about where the world goes in the next 20 years.

Is the third world war really winding down? With the recent change in political tide for Russia, the threat of nuclear weapons coming from the Kremlin seems to have dwindled. However, more than one leader in Asia still holds nukes in their possession, and the communist leader of China seems more determined than ever to save face. Is there any way to end this conflict without a full-blown nuclear war? Despite enormous military losses in Europe and the Russian Far East, the Indian government is determined to stand by the Chinese.

James Rosone Delivers Again
Revisado: 01-01-22
I will admit my bias towards James Rosone and Miranda Watson. I first discovered his work by stumbling upon the Crumbling Empires series which is somewhat similar to the Red Storm series, although more fictional in my opinion, and have been hooked ever since. The number one thing I enjoy about him is his ability to deliver imagery which leaves a lasting impression in the reader/listener. I can still flashback to see the hordes of militiamen washing over the trenches on the Yalu River. This is helped by the once-again amazing reading done by BJ Harrison. Although sometimes comical with some character voices he does, every character sounds unique, and only a few times I find myself disoriented, otherwise, he was perfect, you can feel the silence fill the scene when he needs, or almost simulate background chatter when its wanted.
I feel I must once again impress upon you the stellar work of J. Rosone and M. Watson. After finishing this work, I really feel like a new era is upon me (maybe it also helps I finished the work on New Years Eve right after midnight haha). Overall, excellent work, truly amazing.

Melanie Hoskins, an experienced firefighter-paramedic, has been recruited by a very selective and secret organisation known as The Division. Their mission is to protect the populace and secure the continuation of the United States. The Division is only activated at times of dire need. This just so happens to be one of those times. Based in New York City, Hoskins is forced to leave her civilian life and those she loves behind, and join the front line to try to control the 'dollar flu' virus that has been spreading throughout the city.

A Fan Writer's take on Hearts on Fire
Revisado: 07-24-21
Hey all, I'm pretty unheard in the division community and kept most of my works to a group of friends since I'm that kind of writer that's really self-conscious of his work. At any rate, if you know me, you'll know me as Sir_Infernos. I've played both TD1 and 2 since launch, the latter having participated in every beta and tech test Massive's given the community a chance to play, and I've loved every bit of division content I can get my hands on, including Broken Dawn, NY Collapse, and the Extremis Mallis visual novel. Hearing about this audiobook (but it's closer to an audio play than audiobook) I was quite excited, more content in the time period we know the least about, the beginning days of the Outbreak.
I'll cover the writing, performances, and how well the story fits into The Division's lore in the following paragraphs.
The writing is...alright. The audio aspect, with sound effects such as gunfire cracks and bullets whizzing and impacting help to build atmosphere, which in normal Clancy work is done through quite immersive writing, I can't tell which I like more. I do feel that the writers played into cliches a little too much though. The ending was happy and upbeat, Hotchkins somehow never really turned her back on her genocidal sister, who strangely, had a total change of heart within the span of a few minutes. Lastly, and possibly my biggest gripe, was the intelligence of each character. Despite knowing about the bombs planted to kill the LMB, and having a chat with a conflicted commander, it took him dying for the Division agents to turn the LMB against the Cleaners. Short tangent, why didn't Hotchkins go AWOL like most other agents did after she was knocked out and her partner Shu was killed because the JTF didn't show up in time? This is literally the breaking point for the franchise's main baddy Aaron Cleaner.
I think the performances are overall much better, but not quite broadway. Hotchkins was pretty good, Katee Sackhoff did an alright job playing a paramedic thrown into a worst-case scenario. Shu, however, he always seemed short of breath, like every word was spoken on the edge of his tongue, not quite the gruff, in-charge veteran agent he's supposed to be. The choice to change the voice actor of ISAC from the one used in the games to whomever VA'd him in this one is a total oddity though. I'd like to know why they needed to change Brandon Keener out for someone who just sounds like diet ISAC.
How does it hold up with the overall story of The Division? I'd say it fits somewhat well, there are some mistakes and plot holes. They make a big fuss about saving the quarantine camp at the Hub (term for the Hudson Bay Camp in TD1), however if you visit the area in TD1, it's burnt out, as if cleaners did raid it. Another issue is the LMB. I'm guessing that Hotchkins is activated sometime around 1st-8th of December, maybe late November. The LMB was brought into Manhattan about the same time and went AWOL just before the start of TD1, hence their strong fortifications. At Grand Central Station and the UN HQ. So why were they still adhering to a contract about that same time? One thing I would like to note, and something I've incorporated into my own writing, is the bringing in of agents after the 2nd Wave's Osprey got shot down. To me, it always made sense that additional agents were constantly arriving at the Base of Operations and that it wasn't just the player and Faye in NYC. I'm glad to see Massive finally make that cannon.
Overall, I think it's alright. Sometimes it gets laughably melancholic, and at other times, frustratingly slow, like you see the punchline to a plot coming, and have to wait for the characters to piece it together. But I won't turn down another bit of Division media, and certainly not in one of my favorite formats, an Audio Drama.
Agent Infernos, signing off.
