Historia
Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society's mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within.

The story and characters of another world in a distant time are rich and deep. The performance is truly out of this world. It's been a long time since I enjoyed an audiobook as much as this one.

In the midst of tense drama and relatable, real characters I prize the genuine laugh out loud exchanges peppered throughout. Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy is another series of this type- fabulous!

What a fascinating perspective this author provided, exceedingly well developed. The narration was brilliant as well, among the best I've experienced in 25 years of listening to audio books.

Historia
Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber’s tail - a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger.

Bittersweet wartime compassion
Revisado: 01-19-22
An often stunning story of opposing WWII pilots, expertly told and masterfully read. Interesting to note that many Germans were never Nazis, and fully more than 60% of German 1933 voters rejected Hitler, in spite of powerful Brown Shirt intimidation, in the final election before such freedoms were abolished.

A complete crime fiction box set! Homicide detective Thomas Prescott may be retired—but a serial killer, a high-profile murder, an ill-fated cruise, and a chilling small-town crime add more than enough excitement to his hard-earned rest. This collection includes the first four books: Unforeseen, Gray Matter, The Afrikaans, and Show Me.

Too much of a good thing.
Revisado: 06-23-21
It's a good story and good narration, but a little too much of both. The tale stretches on and on sometimes, losing impact and focus through sheer volume. The narrator is capable of great performance as well, but he, too, over plays his hand. I'm repeatedly reminded of William Shatner when Star Trek scenes amped up. To be fair to Mr. Hill, his nuance is far beyond any on the Enterprise.

Historia
Carol Leonnig has been reporting on the Secret Service for The Washington Post for most of the last decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency today - from a toxic work culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency’s once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws. But the Secret Service wasn’t always so troubled.

This author should NOT narrate, ugh!!!
Revisado: 06-05-21
Great story, amazing research, well-written. The downfall of this production, however, is that the author narrates the first and last major sections of the book. What possessed Carol Leonnig to believe she should narrate ANY of this audiobook confounds and disappoints me. Her pace, her tone- she's by far the worst narrator I've heard in listening to hundreds of audiobooks over decades. The endless Author's Note and Prologue (narrated by Leonnig) were excruciating, but there was hope in that another narrator would take it from there.
The following chapters (Maggi-Meg Reed) were fascinating, captivating, and very well narrated.
Now I've just arrived at "The Trump Years, " narrated again by Leonnig, and I honestly don't know if I can make it through to the end listening to this awful voice. My God, what a disappointing situation. I feel as if I'm being held hostage by an author's vanity, forcing me to suffer through this in order to learn the details of the climactic story. Very, very disappointing.
