a new author for me

Revisado: 12-15-22

This was as an intriguing, exciting, War novel based on fact as I have ever read or listened to. As much adrenaline as was needed to tell an adventure story without buckets of testosterone and rage that seems to be so popular these days. Good foreshadowing. Good history.Very good narrator.

All the conspiracy, none of the reality

Revisado: 08-07-22

I took it as long as I could. But even the veneer of race relations can't hid the fact the author is pandering to those who can't wait for the apocalypse.
The premise of the U.S. caught with it's defensive pants down by Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, in a coordinated attack is laughable. Just another isolationist fantasy. I'm surprised there was no "Where was NATO?!!!", exclamations from one of the "right thinking" politicians.
I'm looking for any reviews with words to the affect of, "That's just how they would do it".

Twists and Turns

Revisado: 07-11-22

This one hit me in so many places it hurts. The theme of the story, if you aren't a super human, empathy is a burden. People hate you for it.

I'm Not Worthy

Revisado: 07-05-22

1st Nora Roberts novel. I gotta say she's a very talented and nuanced writer who writes the best sex scenes I've ever heard. Men authors are wise to either leave sex to a few sentences or hire a woman for that part.
My fragile male ego has been crushed by the character of Brook. Hell, every woman being brought up with Ms Roberts strong characters must figure out quickly they might just raise their standards.
Therfore I'll go back to my male oriented escapism, hopefully to discover one male author who can deliver sensuality with intelligence.
Thanks Ms Roberts, it was great fun.

Began with strangely

Revisado: 05-01-22

I was puzzled at the first chapters prose style. The exposition seemed rushed, fooling me into settling into an uncomplex story. That changed. The main character ain't your average hero's journey naif. Lots of twisted turns.

Perfect Narration

Revisado: 02-28-22

I'm not a huge fan of stories that cater to hyper masculine military types. But the Grey Man series has enough nuance, broad knowledge of the real world to keep anyone engaged. And the vocal variety is impeccable.
One thing thing in the beginning though. Did I hear that the airforce base in Peshawar was a recent thing? It was a hell of a place for Americans in Pindi to get a taste of home, in 1963. I was 5 and there were pools and PX, I thought I had gone to heaven.

Nearly Perfect in Every Way

Revisado: 01-21-22

This is my kind of Audible. An underdog fighting the honorable fight while a decadent, corrupt, apparatus is set on destroying him. The dramatic cummupance , though expected, is the icing on the cake. The narrator knows his craft, the pacing and the voices could hardly be better.

There are going to be a lot of children of CIA officers , especially those growing up during the Cold War, hearing your wold and seeing their own.
Well done, from one of those children.

Shaken and stirred.

Consistently enjoyable, mostly. A few good laughs with plenty of good humor. I will look for a sequel. The narrator was Top Shelf.

The Master Has Spoken

Revisado: 05-21-21

To those who have long enjoyed the wit and intelligence (in joke) of John Le Carre', I trust you will not be disappointed in this.He is the real deal, as you know, and to those in the know, every word rings true.
Except for the very end.The facts just didn't add up. Perhaps there was a deadline.
No I won't give it away. But as I said in the beginning, you won't be disappointed.
