Number 3….not quite

Having been hooked by 1&2, I enjoyed 3, but not up to the prior efforts. There were some intriguing and entertaining ideas

Historia
If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again—by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide—and when to shoot. But some places don’t play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet are such a place—a place where violence is the only way to survive.

Engrossing story that has been like a good friend during this lengthy listen. Not as deep as I Am Pilgrim but it’s a very different book, with the sci fi twist.

Historia
Israel David Goodkind is a minor bureaucrat in the Nixon White House, killing empty office time by writing the story of four generations of his large, sprawling Russian Jewish immigrant family. As he recounts his brief stint in show business, his torrid affair with a showgirl, and his encounters with a hassled and distracted President Nixon, Goodkind also witnesses historical events firsthand - the Watergate scandal, the Yom Kippur War - and eventually finds his way back to his Jewish faith.

Not just a book, an experience
Revisado: 01-31-23
If the term “epic” could be applied to a narrow slice of life, this book is an epic. An epic of deeply religious emigrant Jews embracing America. There are essentially three love stories animating this book: the love between David and his father, the love between David and Bobbi and David’s love for Israel. There is also hilarity and fascinating insights into Hollywood and the Nixon White House during the 1973 War.
Bringing it altogether is the narration, which, in its brilliance, is inseparable from the brilliance of the book.
Thank you to HW.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Brilliant, stimulating science and story. Scientific method fascinating and the developing relationship between two aliens (one from earth) was captivating and endearing. Performance superb.

Remarkable
Revisado: 08-06-19
Remarkable military story. I have to say however, that much of the book focuses on the success of Russian technology and tactics, which, at certain points becomes almost unbearable. But it’s an terrific accomplishment

Historia
Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

Beyond the story and the history, the feelings of the people and the time is masterful. The narration is perfect.

Historia
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Historia
While conducting exploration in the frozen Arctic, Texan Lew McCardle, a geologist working for the Houghton Oil company, discovers something remarkable: a body encased in the ice. More remarkable still, the skills of Russian researcher Semyon Petrovitch bring the man miraculously back to life. This strange visitor from the distant past has an amazing story to tell. Translated from his native Latin by Nordic nun Olava, Lucius Aurelius Eugenianus reveals that in the era of Domitian he was a champion in the Roman Colosseum, a gladiator known far and wide.

An absolutely stunning achievement. Literature, history, fantasy. And the narration is so good that I can’t imagine “merely” reading it.

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

Many cliches and sappy diversions. But some exciting moments. I enjoyed it but not the best of this genre. Porter’s narration spot on.

Historia
Fresh off his first mission back with the CIA, Court Gentry secures what seems like a cut-and-dried contract job: A group of expats in Paris hires him to kidnap the mistress of Syrian dictator Ahmed Azzam to get intel that could destabilize Azzam's regime. Court delivers Bianca Medina to the rebels, but his job doesn't end there. She soon reveals that she has given birth to a son, the only heir to Azzam's rule - and a potent threat to the Syrian president's powerful wife. Now, to get Bianca's cooperation, Court must bring her son out of Syria alive.

Assuming you like this genre, this and the other Grey Man books can’t be beat. Just suspend disbelief and enjoy the action and compelling story. Narration is fabulous, including the different accents. I’m now starting Greaney’s Tom Clancy books because I can’t get enough of Greaney.
