A fascinating peek into a war pilot's life

Revisado: 01-16-23

This book was easy to listen to, having been a USAF transport pilot myself, long before Desert Storm. It was easy for me to close my eyes and see the 'movie' that was this story to its author. I completely enjoyed this book.

The Saga Begins

Revisado: 12-19-22

I dislike the reader’s varying from the original text as written. Those frequent dips back into likely Middle English and archaic words give this story of 13th century Brits a very colorful tone. Too bad for us listeners. Otherwise he didn’t fall into the trap set by French words & phrases that totally ruin most reader’s attempts to tell a story.

Cynicism

Revisado: 10-16-22

This book is very well-written, but after listening to it, I'm sickened at the motives of the Bidens. If this is a typical story of the political class, this class needs to be excised from our society. It's a story of how riches are obtained from our enemies and folded back into a would-be political empire. You can't even compare the story of the Bidens to, say, the Kennedys. Joe's interest is never in the American people, it's always in obtaining and cementing his grip on power by any means possible, fronted by an abused, drug-ravished son who seems to have no other purpose on this Earth. The gaslighting is astounding, compounded by massive bribery, resulting in unimaginable behaviors. If you ever wondered why politicians lie, and what their miserable lives are like, you should read this book. Afterwards, you'll find it difficult to tolerate any hypocrisy from politicians, ever, knowing that their motives are as distant from purity as possible. Never mind the oath they so eagerly betray at the expense of our liberties and our social constructs.

I am so outraged....

Revisado: 03-07-22

I am very outraged that ONE individual with a seeming complete lack of anything resembling morality can end, ruin, or seriously affect the lives of millions of others. His greed devolves into absolute misery for his victims; but who cares as long as the money keeps rolling in? And that he could find so many others, equally devoid of morals as himself, simply drives me crazy with rage. The AIDS crisis is his, and so is the COVID-19 scamdemic ... anything to keep that revenue flowing to Big Pharma and himself (and his crew of lying henchmen), no matter how much of a ruse it is. I'm seriously of the opinion that Dr Fauci should be tried for mass murder and treason. It's odd, but the penalty for treason exceeds that for mass murder, I favor whatever takes this scumbag off the planet, and hope his violations of the Nuremberg Code alone get him the death penalty (although I know the EU won't permit it).

I'd Heard this Before

Revisado: 12-30-21

I sort of wish I'd not seen or read the more famous work with the similar title; it was like knowing everything that was going to happen in this one, Still, Ambrose 's work is interesting enough to hold anyone's attention. Same old story, though.

More mispronunciation of foreign language words

Revisado: 01-25-21

I speak several languages, French and German among them. This narrator obviously speaks neither. His mispronunciations of words in both are horrendous, and they detract from the story, as bad as they are. To be fair, he doesn't mispronounce English language words often, but he blows even those on very rare occasions. Intonation is fair, but the narrator's mistakes shouldn't make him the focus of the story, as they do quite often.

Each book gets better and better

Revisado: 09-01-20

Fantastic story... it's almost (not really) getting boring, with all the deus ex machina events; but the plot & descriptions are so riveting that you can't help listening all the way to the end. Superb!

Mr . Cornwell has done it yet again!

Revisado: 06-30-20

As I now expect from one of my very favorite authors, this episode in this epic series was spellbinding and difficult to put down. Character and environment development were done with great care, speed control, and detail, even if the plot line took liberties with historical accuracy. This story is recommended for all adult audiences.

Amazing book, crown to a magnificent series

Revisado: 06-02-20

Perhaps I shouldn't say that just yet, there's apparently one more book in the series I haven't yet read. I understand it's not quite released yet, either, so it looks as if there's to be a long wait. But Mr. Cornwell's works are generally worth the wait; I can't remember a series closer in which I was disappointed.
