Second time still bad

Revisado: 04-01-24

Once again a great story is destroyed in the the audible telling of the book. the previous book which involved the shoot down of Yam amigo was bad enough. I rated it poorly based only on the virtual narrator. when I saw that the Neptune Strategy was available I bought it only to be disappointed again by the very poor virtual narration. this will be the last john go bell for me.

Greyhound?

Revisado: 09-29-23

This author is so spectacular that this should be a must read for WWII fictional history readers. I believe it was the basic story for the Sony Pictures movies "Greyhound" that came out during the pandemic.

Where does Enemy of God rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have read and listened to all of the Bernard Cornwell books that I can lay my hands on. I wasn't really into the King Arthur/ Camalot thing so I thought that listening to the audio version would be a good experience. It was different and much more entertaining than I expected. Cornwell is fantastic.

What other book might you compare Enemy of God to and why?

Start with the Winter King, read Enemy of God and finish with Excalibur.

Have you listened to any of Tim Pigott-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

All of the Warlord series and Heretic that I know of.

Who was the most memorable character of Enemy of God and why?

Durville

Any additional comments?

Much better that I expected.

Where does Jester's Fortune rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the eighth book in the series which is very entertaining. Unfortunately the next book is not available in audio formate. The one after that is in audio but its hit and miss from then on. I did read the entire series and I am currently reading the latest book on my kindle. I should say that most of these I read several years ago. As far as ranking I can't decide. It's like one continuous story. Some exciting times, some not so much, but fun and entertaining.

What other book might you compare Jester's Fortune to and why?

The entire Dewey Lambdin series.

Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Just the other Lambdin books. He is excellent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Not for kids.

Don't remember any one thing that sticks out. I'm sad when the book ends and can't wait for another to start.

He is an excellent narrator.

Who was the most memorable character of The French Admiral and why?

Alan Lewrie of course

Book number three is just as good as the first two

Revisado: 01-23-12

Would you consider the audio edition of The King's Commission to be better than the print version?

I had read this book about seven years ago while recovering from surgery. I read everything in the series that I could buy at the B & N store down the street and around the corner. I ordered all the books they didn't have from someplace else (don't remember). So much has changed in the years since then.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters that come and go are well developed. The action is well discribed.

Which character – as performed by John Lee – was your favorite?

No favorite.
