I love the setting

Revisado: 09-09-24

The setting at the North Pole and learning more about its mythology was great. The story felt quick and to the point which made for an action packed quick read.

Very interesting penultimate book

Revisado: 05-22-24

This book had a lot of interesting character arcs. I listened to it in just over 2 days and couldn’t stop. It feels like it was setting up for an epic finale which I can’t wait to listen to when it comes out.

Great story of perseverance

Revisado: 09-14-23

Once I started this book on audible, I couldn’t stop listening. This story was an incredible adventure that reminded me of how tough life was for some and how strong and brave they were to push through it all.

The narration was flawless as well. Will did a great job capturing each of the characters.

Great story

Revisado: 09-01-23

I really enjoyed this one. Rollins had the perfect amount of detail to make it feel exciting and educational at the same time without feeling boring. I love Baskous’ voice narrating this series as well.

I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Close but not quite true to the originals

Revisado: 07-08-23

This was a good attempt at carrying on the story of the Oregon and her crew, but a little too much of the new authors style was added in.

The nice part about the Cussler series is that some violence was implied, but never graphic. This book had quite a few graphically violent parts. I liked to have these on with the kids in the car, but I can’t do that if this continues.

There were also several instances where we would learn the details about a new character for 5 minutes only for them to be immediately killed. Overall, there were just a few too many overly descriptive parts that were drug out with unneeded detail. I blame this more on the editor than the author though.

The framework of the story was good, but this series continues to move away from what made it great: Juan was a compassionate warrior that never delighted in death but the last couple of books have strayed from that.

I just hope they return the characters to the personalities that drew so many readers to them.

Fantastic

Revisado: 06-08-23

This book was fantastic from the first word to the last word of the epilogue. The narrator was fantastic and really makes you feel at times like you are in WW2 Italy. I’ll set myself a reminder to listen to it again in a few years.

Great audiobook

Revisado: 05-29-23

I absolutely loved this audiobook version. As this topic has been something often discussed in our marriage, this book gave a great philosophical outline while still giving details on how to approach sex in your marriage.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to make this area of your marriage better.

Close, but not close enough

Revisado: 02-23-23

I have been following the Oregon Files from the beginning and it is by far my favorite series. The new author had huge shoes to fill and unfortunately came up just short.

The story arc and action sequences were really good, but he failed to capture what makes this series so great: the team and Juan’s stoicism.

Do I regret the purchase? No. Am I let down that one of my favorite characters of any series was drastically changed from someone who always let reason overcome emotions, very much so.

Hopefully if there is another one, we can get back to viewing this series as about the crew and Juan as the leader he was before.

Last note: Scott Brick was great as always so the audible version is always the way to go when he narrates.

Very entertaining

Revisado: 05-25-22

This book was very entertaining and told the story of Phil fairly with highlights of both his best attributes highlighted as well as his biggest flaws.
While the narration was not a typical Audible experience, I did appreciate the emphasis that the writer brought to certain parts and enjoyed his fast paced telling of the book.
