Loved Joe. Well narrated!
The intensity keeps growing and growing. It is impossible to put down after the plot thickens.

Excellent story and a great presentation. Unfortunately I didn’t know if was so short I just was so caught up with the story so that I didn’t want it to end

Every once in a while a series really grabs me...

Revisado: 11-13-17

TLDR; This is a spectacularly fun, humorous and exciting military SF romp.

I saw the good reviews of this series and took a chance. What a lucky find! It charts the adventures of a good ole Georgia boy in one of Earth's mercenary legions -- and the author really delivers. The hero is a clever, opportunistic (and lucky) guy with a good moral compass. The dialogue and situations are often hilarious and there's lots of action in the story. The remainder of the series continues what starts in this book and if anything even gets better!

The book has some unique SF tech elements that were new to me, and lots of fun for the author to explore (one you might guess from the series title "The Undying Mercenaries"). The best though are the many laugh-out-loud experiences where the hero has to work his way out of seemingly impossible (and incredibly dire) situations.

Boyett does a magnificent job with the narration. He gives consistent personification to the various characters throughout the dialogue which adds a lot to the story -- I almost hate to recommend the story in print form mostly because one would miss the extraordinary narration.

Believable

So much suspense you can't put it down. Very good technical stuff. Amazing resourcefulness. I think this could really happen some day.

I was living in those days and it was interesting to hear what really happened during the war and afterwards. Well done.

Reflections from the cistern

Revisado: 03-05-14

This is a clever retelling of parts of the book of prophet Jeremiah with the undead acting as the result of depravity in Jerusalem during the reign of King Zedekiah (before the Babylonian exile). The justice theology is spot on with some (obviously) free literary embellishments included for narrative purposes (for example, God in the story is cast as feminine, which according to the author's website is to reflect the shekinah -- i.e., the feminine presence of God beyond the Temple veil).

If you're looking for a traditional rough and tumble zombie adventure, then you may be disappointed because zombies are not the main focus of this novel. If you'd like to listen to a tragic religious story with some good horror thrown in and delivered by an excellent narrator, then you should find this book delightful like I did.

Another winner for WEB

Revisado: 07-19-12

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lieutenants to be better than the print version?

I haven't tried the print edition, but I don't have time to read a book. I can fit an audio book into the many dead periods of the day that wouldn't be possible to read a print book. That is especially true of the unabridged books. The only problem is turning off a great book like the WEB Griffin books.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lieutenants?

The Greek adventure.

What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He does a great job of making you feel like you are there while things are going on. He is a great reader.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just couldn't stop reading it, or should I say listening to it. What a great story teller he is.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to read the next one.
