I’ve heard better shows on cruise ships

Revisado: 01-10-20

I cruise at least once a year. This guy wouldn’t hack it on a ship.
Sorry, he’s just not interesting.
Maybe because he’s east coast and I’m west coast. Maybe...

Very difficult to understand the spoken word and story

Revisado: 07-23-19

While I’m sure this book has its merits, I was forced to do a google search about 2/3s of the way through to simply find out, “what the hell is this book about anyway?”

Once I did that, I realized that most of my difficulty in understanding it derives from the fact that I couldn’t understand most of what was being said because of that stupid accent.

Maybe, if, I have absolutely nothing else to do, I’ll listen to it again. In the meantime, he’ll will freeze over before I buy another book if the narrator chooses to speak in that accent.

So glad it was free. Otherwise, I’d be demanding my money (credit) back.

Awesome book. A MUST listed to

Revisado: 05-22-19

As one of Audibles freebies, I assumed this book would be mediocre at best.

Boy, was I wrong.

The story was riveting, the performance stellar.

John’s imagination made Zachary’s performance easy and very enjoyable. To be able to yell “SHUT UP” with meaning and not blow my eardrums out takes real talent.

This is one I’ll definitely listen to again.

GET A MILITARY ADVISOR

Revisado: 03-26-19

This isn’t the first book (and I suspect not the last) where the narrator butchers military jargon.

In this book, several times, Benjamin says the radar intercept officer is the R. I. O. in three separate and distinct letters.

It’s pronounced RIO (like you would for Rio de Janeiro).

Please, PLEASE, hire a consultant with a military if you’re going to do military books.

Your GOING to lose your hearing!

Revisado: 05-10-18

While the storyline is alright for the first 7 chapters, bu the end of chapter 7 and most definitely the beginning of chapter 8, he sound effects will leave a ringing in your ears if you’re using a headset.

The narrator is talking along and you’re concentrating on listening and al of a sudden LOUD OBNOXIOUS noises start popping up as part of the story line.

I stopped listening as my ears couldn’t take it any more...

Fire this narrator

Revisado: 06-29-16

The first three chapters were actually painful to get through. Does John MacDonald actually talk this slow, or did he do it on purpose? I actually sped the story up one and a half times and it sounded a little rushed, but closer to normal speech than at regular speed.

Volume constantly changes

Revisado: 05-28-16

It really sucks when you adjust the volume to a comfortable level, then the narrator yells.

Also, any narrator who reads a military novel should have a military background.

A Radio Intercept Officer is pronounced as RIO, like Rio, like where the Olympics are going to be held...

Get your times straight

Revisado: 04-30-16

2030 is NOT pronounced 20 hundred and 30. It's pronounced twenty-thirty.

I really wish someone with a military background would educate the narrators.

Narrator has no military background

Revisado: 03-29-16

Narrators without military backgrounds should NOT narrate military books.

2000 is a time in military terms. Pronounced twenty-hundred. NOT two thousand.

Also, names of commands are pronounced just as they're written. For example: CINC is pronounced sink. NOT C I N C.
