It’s exciting and it’s real!

Revisado: 08-08-23

Just finished this audiobook on Audible! Another
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for Tom Abrahams for this very realistic, as in it could happen tomorrow, storyline!

When the grid goes down, family comes first, friendly neighbors become frienimies, and “your relic of the past” F-150 is your only way forward!

It’s exciting, it’s real and you can’t help but to place yourself right in the middle of it!

Also, hats off to Kevin Pierce! He makes the best stories even better. If you’re an author and you have Kevin Pierce on board, hold him close and never let him go!

A powerful conclusion to the series!

Revisado: 05-12-23

As we grow older, it’s nice to know we’re still needed. Even if the acts of heroism hurt a lot more than they used to, it’s better to be needed than not.

It just keeps getting better

Abrahams continues to deliver edge of your seat excitement as he continues to develop the depth of the characters with whom we’ve come to identify. Keep reading, you’ll be glad you did.

Instantly compelling and identifiable.

John Beck is everything we hope we could be if we had to be but wouldn’t want to be.

Tom Abrahams is a master craftsman when working with the written word. Nobody develops the deep smolder of the troubled hero quite like Abrahams.

Would you consider the audio edition of Fire Chief to be better than the print version?

With such excellent narration as was performed by Dave Johnson, I always prefer the audio edition because I listen while I run each day.

Which character – as performed by Dave Johnson – was your favorite?

Ed Daniels

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The parts of the book that dealt with the sometimes extreme politics within the volunteer fire departments really hit home with me. As a volunteer firefighter myself, I can tell you that petty politics play a major role in an otherwise completely altruistic effort. Non-firefighters will also come to appreciate the emotions of the volunteer firefighter who, all too often has to leave his family or his work to answer the call of duty. It's a strange combination of adrenaline, guilt and satisfaction.

Your running shoe budget is going to go up!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would absolutley recommend this book to all of my running friends. We've all gotten too accustomed to the 5k or 10k run. Even those of us who have conquered the marathon seem to be preprogrammed to stop when the race is over. What if we just kept on running? Dean's book gives us some insight into that "what if" question.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dean Karnazes comes across as if he could be any one of us. He's just a regular guy, well, sort of.

What does James Yaegashi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

First time I've listened to James Yaegashi. He did an excellent job. No complaints what-so-ever. I'll be loooking forward to his next narration!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Almost made me laugh myself off of the tread-mill a couple of times.

Any additional comments?

Listening to this book seems to give you license to remove the mental limits to what you can achieve in a pair of running shoes!

Inspiration blended with education= Transformation

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This story is for anybody who wants to unlock their own inner potential. There are elements of Rich's story that each of us can relate to and find inspiration within. I am an 18X marathon finisher, after tearing my Achilles tendon a couple of years ago, I lost my desire to run. Now I'm running again and learning to eat healthy (and this book) are my catalysts to change. Thank you Rich Roll!
