Cole consistently delivers

Revisado: 02-26-25

I've read most of Mr. Cole's work, both fiction and non-fiction. This is another tome that does not disappoint. I wonder if most people appreciate the watershed moment in history covered by this book, when the dominant military technology of heavy cavalry ("heavy" as in actual armor) reached its evolutionary limit in the face of improving firearms. These "tanks on horseback" had a moment to shine (literally), then faded into history.

Cole provides the historical buildup to this moment, and weaves an entertaining (and accurate) personal narrative around it.

A fun shoot-em-up

Big guns and bio weapons set the stage for Cole West finding his true calling as a born killer, one tasked with defending America from enemies both foreign and domestic.

Sensational

I’ve seen the movie a half-dozen times before experiencing the book itself. Easy to see why this was a monster hit.

Excellent performance, although the pronounced background hiss took some getting used to.

A taut, gripping story

Revisado: 09-25-23

Fantastic work by both author and narrator. This is a non-nonsense barn burner and I can’t wait for Book II.

Get it in print instead

Revisado: 05-21-23

I got the impression this book was written with lots of short sections and spaces between them to signify a break, or a switch to a new instant of observation from the main character. If a so, the producers did nothing to signify that, resulting in what seems like a steady narration that leaps all over the place. It was jarring to me and made it difficult to sink into the story.

Really interesting story, but consider checking out
The print/eBook if that style of verbal storytelling would throw you.

Stay for the end

Revisado: 07-23-22

The endless bookkeeping gets a little onerous, at least it did to me. Not a lot, but a little. All of it was solid, consistent, and entirely worth the final ten minutes of this novel, which left me gutted. Magnificent.

Fantastic

Revisado: 03-31-22

A gripping, technical epic of the trials, terrors, and victories of the US submarine fleet in WWII. Loved every minute of it — was not prepared for Book VI.

This collection is one of the best single-credit books you will find on Audible.

The end is straight bonkers awesome.

Revisado: 03-04-22

What a fun, educational, gripping story. Gearheads will love it for the detail porn. There were times I thought the author was going overboard (pun intended) on refs and detail, but in the end, everything lays off. The writing itself at times seemed a bit stilted (with a bit of cringe), but as a book published in 1980, it’s indicative of that’s era of popular literature.

All my reservations about this book, however, we’re blown away by the end. This beast iPad action-packed and a ton of fun.
