best translator

Revisado: 06-11-24

I've read at least 6 of the translators for dostoevsky including this one in 3 versions and. katz is the best in my opinion. His philosphy of translation and deep understanding of Dostoevsky esp with insights from the unstoppable biographer Joseph Frank make him my favorite.

wonderful

Revisado: 04-05-23

This was profound, encouraging, and pointed to Christ with clarity, charity, and erudition I have not seen before.

fun but kinda peters out

Revisado: 10-30-22

it was a good listen but the whole sleeper dissipates into a coup in the Eastern block at the end. overall good if you like konkoly but not as interesting on the villain side as i was thinking it would be.

Solid Start, looking forward to the rest

Revisado: 07-26-21

I am a fan of the drinker on YouTube so I gave this a shot. Definitely recommend. I have loved early Clancy, Ludlum, Child, and now JL Bourne and Konkoly and this is fairly good on action but really great on character dev and plot continuity, pacing and buildup with payoffs.
Going to get the rest of the series as I get credits to spend. (Only thing that was odd was that a marine having gone to west point -drakes buddy Franklin-instead of just marine ocs or Annapolis.

Bourne does it again

Revisado: 11-24-20

The one author I can listen to straught through and relisten. i hope he writes more. Trilobyte and now remote 5 are fantastic. I've also loved Day by Day armegeddon and Tomorrow War. Great range writed bad ass male and female heroes without agendas. Also great at keeping dumb ass grabby military kidding to a minimum but just enough to give likability. Views of characters are complex and not conventional or cheesyThe action is scinitlating, the plot is always suprising and interesting. I've listened to and have read hundreds of action adventure, military, mystery post apoc, sci fi books and Bourne is my favorite. Konkoly is second but there is no other writer I love so much for action. Please keep up the amazing work. I read a book a day for econ and history etc but when a Bourne comes out it goes to the front of the line.

I love educated writers

Revisado: 05-21-19

I'm not on board with eveything Ferguson says but boy does he know how to write. he always has amazing coverage of all topics especially the more arcane areas dealing with Finance and Economica but erudite enough to go in details in culture, law, you name it. He also does it without being needlessly esoteric. Well done, I will start reading all his books now.

Peter and his brother are both in their own ways,

Revisado: 06-10-18

Amazing. I side with Peter on a great deal and found this wildly illuminating.
In particular, the discussion on the demise of railways and the subsiding of motor transport and the subsequent atomization in the UK and the US and the root it is to the worst aspects of social disconnectedness in UK and US society. In this discussion, it shows the ironic connection between the Wendell Berry agrarian yeoman impulse and the granola Jane Jacob's world. I love it when the left and right both like to keep things on a human scale and bring about natural connectedness. I always lament one of my favorite presidents creating the interstate system in the US. I wonder how many of today's ills are atteibutable to it.

I love it, just recommend buying the hard copy as the audiobooks is truncated. Still fun and a joy.
