John l.

Neo-liberal power fantasy.

Revisado: 04-19-23

Imagine watching CNN during the early days of the Iraq war. And you’ve got a pretty good idea of what this book is like. Utterly clueless and hilariously imperialistic. However if you can stick it out the story itself is decent for the first two book. (I recommend you stop at book two.)

Good narrator, well written (if a bit silly) story.

Revisado: 02-26-23

First of all, I’m not sure why so many reviewers have said the narrator was bad. He’s got distinct voices for each character and easily understandable pronunciation. Now I’ll say this it’s clear he’s never heard a South African accent before but that’s forgivable.

As for the story it’s what it says on the tin, time traveling South African neo-Nazis supplying modern guns to the CSA. Now I know that sounds silly, and it is. But it’s takes that promise and does more with it than you might think.

If you like sillier alternate history stories, or political thrillers I’d recommend.

Must read.

Revisado: 10-05-22

I usually don’t review things, but this is my favorite book I’ve ever read. The story the characters everything is just perfect.

Without spoiling anything the way the book makes you understand why the main character is the way he is, and gets you inside his slightly twisted mind is great.

Better than I expected.

Revisado: 02-12-22

To be frank I picked this up expecting to get a good laugh out of it based on how goofy the summery sounded. Now I’m no stranger to the idea of Alt-History. Lord knows I’ve read my fair share of it over the years. But the idea of this one in particular just struck me as goofy. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that behind the goofy setup lay a genuinely great political thriller that kept me engaged enough to listen to the whole thing in one day. The machinations of the junta that replaces Hitler after his death, as they all vie for influence over the Reich made for an incredibly interesting, and fun story. This book had likable characters (those not from history at least), a good plot. And perhaps most importantly for this type of story, it knows not to take itself too seriously. If you are at all interested in alt-history or political thrillers I recommend you give this a try!

Where things all apart a little is the narration, meaning no disrespect to the narrator I found him very distracting due to his complete inability to pronounce German words. Which in another story wouldn't have been a problem of course, but in a story about the Third Reich, there are quite a lot of german words sprinkled throughout. Now I am neither German nor fluent in German but even I was distracted by this so if that is going to be a problem for you I advise against listening to this book.
