Special opps entertainment with a little too much techno jargon

The concept of a top secret special ops center hidden deep underground is very appealing. Add in spies and a Russian enemy and it all seems contemporary. Two things I found off-putting were the excessive use of military and weaponry acronyms and gobbledegook which just interrupted the flow of the narrative, and the constant changes of setting so that when we come back to a previous character, it was three chapters ago — and on audible books, this means rewind to remind yourself who we’re talking about. All the weaponry acronyms could just be replaced with words like “weapon” or “gun” and I’d be a lot happier with the story. All of these slow down the story too much. However, the story is entertaining, and I will definitely read more of these.

I love noir films of the ‘40s and the stories of Raymond Chandler, and this audio podcast was the modern version of both. The true story was vividly performed by the cast and often created a movie in my head — it helped with visualizing the story that I am a fan of all the actors from their work in movies and television, especially Jon Hamm, whom I would pay money to watch — or hear — read the phone book. The lovely, appropriate theme music is reminiscent of Chinatown, and that is another plus for this series. My only criticism is that the sound effects sometimes had a tendency to overwhelm the scene, especially since I listened to it all on earbuds, so the fight scenes or things breaking literally hurt my ears. Two things from me as I end the series: Please give us a spin-off series with Jon Hamm as a private detective solving cases in mid-century L.A. ASAP! and please tell us where and how we can see real film, “The Salt of the Earth.” And for the Audible folks, it is really frustrating that you don’t provide a full cast and crew list on the main page for the podcast so we can look up the performers for each character as well as the creative team and crew.
