Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Incoherent, illogical and contradictory
Revisado: 11-12-17
The plot just doesn’t make sense and isn’t logically consistent. Speculative fiction should communicate parameters for how it’s world works and then operate within them, this book doesn’t so the story feels hallucigenic and compounds this with a pointless ending

It was the war that changed everything, and yet it's been mostly forgotten: in 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia. It dominated newspaper headlines and newsreels. It inspired mass marches in Harlem, a play on Broadway, and independence movements in Africa. As the British Navy sailed into the Mediterranean for a white-knuckle showdown with Italian ships, riots broke out in major cities all over the United States.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jeff Pearce and Richard Pankhurst (foreword) again?
Absolutely not! Only a small percentage of this book actually tells the story of the Italo-Ethiopian war. The lion's share of the book is a collection of totally irrelevant stories that should never have been included. For example, the book not only meanders to talk about a French entertainer's comments on the war but also her "exploits" during World War 2. This was irrelevant and should not have been mentioned. The book does this over and over and over with irrelevant person after person, to the exclusion of real content.With the VERY LITTLE TIME the book does spend on the actual conflict and war itself is poisoned by this style. There is little to no explanation of what happened, merely quotations meant to show individual drama related to the events. While some of this adds to a military history, the book has so little meat, so little exposition - so little real information, that none of this means anything. It's not history, but a gushy, meandering mess. Terrible!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Prevail?
Very nearly everything, the book introduces so little content about it's titular topic.

Authentic, crisp, excellent
Revisado: 02-21-14
Any additional comments?
Knappe's story is so compelling because he is authentic, he shares honestly the pain and emotions of war and its aftermath and goes into the day to day business of being a Wehrmacht artilleryman. His story benefits from a wide variety of experience, from Russia, to occupied Italy to France to the fall of Berlin.
