Good but short

Revisado: 06-20-23

They keep bulking out the run time with podcasts. The last two hours are them talking. If the title says it's 11 hours long, it should be 11 hours of story, not 9 hours story and 2 hours of podcast. I was disappointed they chose the route of splitting the final book into two. They have been indie up till now. Splitting the finale into two short books and making up time with bloat instead of releasing one solid book isn't cool.

One of the series best

Revisado: 05-15-23

BV is in fine form. This book is a strong entry for the series. A new alien enemy, intrigue at Central and plenty of laughs with McGill, Harris, Leeson and Graves.

Another solid addition

Revisado: 09-22-21

Harbingers voice is a little different, but he is a minor character in this book. This book is from Owens perspective.

Another great adventure in The Land

Revisado: 08-04-21

I held off getting because of negative reviews complaining that it was stat heavy and didn't progress the main story.
Gotta agree it is stat heavy in the first half, but its not all that happens and it's only half the book. There are always stats in these books, there is just a little more.
Gotta disagree that it doesn't progress the main story. The adventures of Rictor are the main story, and he is front and centre throughout.

Great Space Opera

An old favorite of mine. If you like David Webber, BV Larson or Jack Campbell you will like this one.
Narrator was quite good.

Snore

Revisado: 11-26-09

I just couldn't get into it, I'm not sure if it was the narrator or the story, or both. The narrator has a very proper british accent, and makes all the men sound like pompous buffoons, and the women sound like mrs marple. The writing style wasn't to my taste and when the concept crashed headlong into my plausibility filter I had to switch off.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 11-26-09

Well read, and engaging. I just wasn't expecting a romance novel. Once hearts started throbbing and the sex scenes started I realised. I wouldn't have bought this book had I known it was a romance novel, but I listened through the whole thing. It has elements of thriller, but that is really a side show to the love stories.
If you want a love story with steamy sex scenes, this is the story for you.

Awful narration

Revisado: 10-12-09

I can't comment on the story, I made it in 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. The narration is just horrible. The narrator sounds bored and half asleep, drawing out the last word of every sentence, and whispering half of it. He reads the book like a fireside horror story, and the tone he sets is incredibly out of place.
I just couldn't listen to it.
I'm only giving it two stars because I've enjoyed the other Sharpe books, and assume the story of this second one is as good as them.

Good Fun

Revisado: 10-10-09

This series was reccommended to me by a friend, so this is the first Sharpe story I have read.
I really enjoyed it, the story is good action fun from page one, and is populated with great characters. It reminds me a lot of the Hornblower series, and is set in the same historical period, but the story takes place in India in the british army.
I'm looking forward to working my way through the series.

Makes you think

Revisado: 07-12-09

Well written and well read. The story meanders a little and isn't a simple story arc. I found it a little hard to figure out who the main character was, and who I was supposed to identify with, but I'd listen to this one a couple times, so I think it is worhty of full marks.
