A good, if long, finish to the trilogy.

Revisado: 04-06-24

Ok, let’s get the bad out of the way.
1. Rather heavy-handed on the real world politics of perceived racism.
2. After a tight and concise previous two books, this book took a more meandering path to conclusion. It worked hard to plunk in point number one.
3. It took a bit for Mr. Tisdale to get into his voices again. Having re-listened to books one and two just before starting this book, it was a jerk out of the world to hear the voices I was so used to for various characters not sounding quite the same. Although by 1/2 way through the book we were in the swing of things again.

The good.
1. Satisfying conclusions to all story arcs.
2. Villains were given good send-offs commensurate with their level of dastardly deeds.
3. The Heroes also received their just desserts. Although, I would have liked to have had a bit more on Mrs. Hurk and her pups. Food for a short story, I suppose.
3. It did do a fantastic job of tying all of the characters into a cohesive story, and narrative as to why they all held importance in the final act.

Well done overall. But, as a point, try not to use a cudgel when driving home, “The Message.” Don’t assume your audience is so obtuse as it can’t read between the lines. It does detract from an otherwise brilliant story.

A review of heroes

Revisado: 05-04-23

This is an amazing book that tells the story of the famed Air Apaches of the USAAF in World War II. Suffice it to say you become terribly engrossed in the story and the men depicted herein.

It is wonderful. Get it and rejoice such men loved their country enough to do what they did.

Cheers and thanks for reading

Crammed full of goodness

Revisado: 04-03-23

A fantastic story that further alongs the story of the NPCs and as a B story, continues the story of their human gaming kin with some new people thrown in and more of backstory revealed.

Well worth the wait although the next one will be too long in coming as the A story is coming to a head

Thistle and crew are a fantastic group of characters.

Yet another fantastic book

Revisado: 02-09-23

After all the other reviews, I can only say that this is a fantastic ending to a sprawling saga that is more than worth your time.

A fantastic follow-up

Revisado: 01-28-23

Truly the height of Superpower stories. Hayes gives a superb story with enough twists and tricks to keep the pages or minutes listening going. My only complaint is the Vince character is a bit… one dimensional. While the rest of the characters grow, Vince keeps tripping over his goodie-2-shoes persona. That said. It’s a minor gripe. Read it now now now!

A fantastic telling of the Normandy campaign

Revisado: 01-10-23

This audible of Beevor’s seminal work is beyond reproach with correct pronunciations of all French locale and French and German names and ranks. Should all works be this good! Even if you have purchased the book, especially if you have purchased the book, do yourself a favor and get this version also.

A bit of a jarring narration, a fantastic book!!

Revisado: 07-12-22

Greetings all:
This audiobook is a companion to an excellent book. I understand that narrator is an author and quite a good one. But, she reads with extreme dictation which sounds very stilted.
That said. This book, aside from Drew Hayes’ Superpowereds series and Villain’s Code series is one of the most intelligently written Superhero series out there. You would do well to read or listen to them. Trust me, you will love how well-rounded their universes are. If you are tired of “The Message” being pushed by Marvel and DC, give these series a try!

BRCC fan, disclaimer

Revisado: 01-05-21

I am a BRCC fanatic and veteran. So take this with a grain of coffee.
The book was interesting and not my normal listen. But, I find Mat Best entertaining and therefore took a chance. It was worth it.
Be warned this book is NSFW on steroids. But that said, you can tell Best put his heart and soul into the writing.
A good performance by Best in the reading also, but nothing less was expected.

A fascinating story of men

Revisado: 11-26-20

When we look back at World War II, we read of plans, equipment and strategy. But without men of valor, the rest is just stuff. This is a story of men doing their job and saving lives in the process.
A great read.

A fantastic Military Textbo

Revisado: 11-18-20

I used this in a military history class in College. This updated version is far better in all regards.
