The story is fast and cut throat with well written characters. The only down side is it throws you into this universe with little to no idea of when, where, and why. But the tale still pulls you in and keeps your attention

I did not expect the Green Zone War series to get another inclusion with a definite opening for more to come.

The story is well understood and voice read. The only thing is that this book feels like a 'part 1' kind of book. The ending is well developed but comes in like a butcher knife chopping off the book ending after the final battles concludes.

Still a good listen and looking forward for the next.

Once again, we are taken into a naval adventure courtesy of the ever heroic and equally complex character that is Jake Slate with the author taking even deeper dives into the "theoretical" area that is modern naval warfare.

The characters are entertaining as before, but we don't really see much development from them. They simply once again get a job, do the job, and complete the job successfully.

The biggest crutch, a repetitive issue in my opinion, is that the antagonist once again is almost randomly made up with a sufficient back story and then swiftly eliminated in the end.

Despite that, it is still a good book for those simply seeking a naval action thriller.

Rogue Fortress certainly holds up to Monteith's previous works bringing all sorts of adventure and intensity.

The writing and narration is good, yet a noticeable negative is the antagonist of this tale (similar to the last rogue novel) seems to simply vanish towards the end as if only an afterthought.

Despite that issue, the story progresses well and I look forward to the next novel of Rogue Submarine.

Rogue Enforcer is written and read with the same acurracy as previous works, yet there are some small plot holes that seem to be slowly pushed aside while there is also minimal character development from the main line-up.

Jake is still dealing with anger issues (yet his HIV issue seems to be all but ignored by now).

Renard is still the cigarette smoking weasel we know about, with his ego seeming to grow each novel.

Olivia is finally back, but little has changed for her either with her eyes still set on obtaining the throne of the CIA (also little to no mention of her HIV).

By the ending, not much if anything changes, they fight cunningly, win heroically, and gracefully say good by and return to their lives. All in all a rather basic story, but one I still enjoyed listening to.

A definite improvement over the first novel of the Rogue series. The biggest difference being the change of the reader to Paul Christy who is able to bring some much needed passion to the story.

As a fan of naval combat stories, Monteith decently delivers on the challenge of writing about modern day sea warfare and political theater. But, while Craig Good is a fairly talented reader, his almost robotic tone and fast paced speech made the story a bit bland.

That aside, I'm definitely looking forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Overall I'd give it a 7/10.

An invigorating story of the heroism and dedication that Deutermann has become known for writing. Though lacking in his common romantic relation like his previous WW2 novels, it focused more on the relationship between a commanding officer and their 2nd in command, and how essential it is for both individuals to understand each other.

As a fan of the Arthurian legend since before I could read, I am pleased to see its story and characters are still beloved.

This story has certainly an interesting plot with the character of Guinevere, who is more often a side character in the original, taking center stage.

Giving this character such an emotional and relatable story is a nice little change. Arthur himself is as I would picture such a young man as. And the other characters are also well written with personalities that make them relatable and enjoying.

As for the negatives, I personally am not a big fan of the "love triangle" happening between Guinevere and at least three others, but then again this is a tale with young characters (16-20yrs old for the main characters), and we all remember how emotionally confusing our teen years were/are. As for Guinevere, by the end I was left wondering who she is just as much as she was, but it leaves you enticed enough to continue the trilogy.




Spoiler review

Also, gender bending Lancelot, not 100% on board that train but I suppose stranger ideas have been made. She honestly seems like plot armor as there isn't much to her character, though I imagine that may be remedied later. I understand the authors intent to strive for confident and strong willed female characters and she does a good job at describing them even if some are a tad cliche.

Final tally for me is a 7/10.

The authors writing style is very passionate and she keeps character development well balanced. But the complex romancing is a little too much (for my taste at least).

A most detailed and endearing story about sailors doing what is necessary to survive and the trials given to those in command. While the story is rather simple when compared to the authors previous works concerning the pacific war, Trial by Fire still manages to fulfill the goal of putting us in the shoes of the brave men who served at sea.

I personally would have enjoyed it if he would've continued the POV of the Japanese pilot, as well as a more expanded after-story, but then again the central plot was always meant to be the USS Franklin, and it most certainly succeeded there.

I greatly enjoyed the book and look forward to more stories about the great Pacific campaign.
