Another great Phoenix novel

I like that they switched to the narrator for the John Milton books too. Would love to see more from Rose 2.

Another great Lovegrove

3 great stories by my favorite Holmes author since Sir ACD. Great narration by the best Watson/Holmes narrator in the biz too.

Favorite Longmire story

Revisado: 01-03-20

I love this short story and re-listen to it every year at Christmas. The story isn’t a mystery, per se, but it does unfold in a way that will please fans of the genre. And, the narration by George Guidall is absolutely spectacular. I love his version of Lucian Connelly—reminds me a great deal of my father and grandfather, both tough old boots with hearts of gold.

Terrible, shallow, boring

Revisado: 09-09-18

I’d read all the usuals and hoped this would suffice until the next Rapp, Andreas, Reacher, or Gray Man. It was horrible. Juvenile plot, dialogue, character development. Stay away.

Expected more from a Texan.

Revisado: 09-02-18

The premise sounded great, like a Ben Coed character, but story was boring. And, hated the writing style. Lots of choppy sentences like this example: Bitterly cold—the wind howled across the prairie. Like Yoda wrote a spy novel. And too much emotion. Just not buying that a special operator would be so introspective and just plain dull.

Excellent Adventure Novel

Revisado: 04-16-18

Where does Africa Tusk rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed this book--cool main character, loyal sidekicks, despicable bad guys, and feisty damsel in distress. This reminded me of a good Louis L'Amour western with John Wayne starring as the stranger where the good guys find a way to make the bad guys pay what they deserve in the end. I enjoyed the descriptive scenes of Africa too--the author did an excellent job of painting with words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Africa Tusk?

The opening scene--carnage!

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

I liked the way he took on the casual competence and care free attitude of the main character--brought him to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I finished it in just a couple days.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this author's work, and would recommend it to anyone who likes Western or adventure novels, where the characters are either good or evil, and have moral codes. Most books nowadays spend the hole story trying to blur those lines, so it's fun to read something where the good guy wins (and maybe) gets the girl. Feels a bit old-fashioned, but in a good way.
