Beyond words....but I have to use a few

Revisado: 03-25-23

I came by this book only after seeing Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Scott Mann on The Shawn Ryan Show You Tube podcast. I added this book to a long list of others. I'm now sorry I didn't listen to it sooner because not only is it an awesome story, but it's a plus that Scott narrated himself.
Though I'm sure all involved wish it didn't have to happen, I'm sure they're happy to know they saved so many. As all this unfolded there was so much more going on. People stopping their lives to get over there and get involved. It goes without saying that every American should be upset with the way the withdrawal was done. I'm just glad there were some that were able to escape.
Well done Scott!

I'm not much on long winded explanations so I'll keep it short. This book sheds light on several things many people dismiss. Like there is only mythology, not actual giants. If you can't give a definitive answer on how ancient people's did things that we can't duplicate today; then you can't dismiss angels, fallen from heaven to mate with humans. If you believe big bang only then you're living in a state of denial. There are artifacts, and archeological proof. This book explains much of it. It's repetitive, but for good reason. Linear, but repetitive.

I have finished the Age of Embers series and loved it! I went straight to this and it's off to a good start. I had recently had thoughts about this very plot. Let's just hope it doesn't happen. Worth the listen for sure.

Rough, but perhaps real.

Revisado: 12-23-20

This book is one of the roughest of its kind. It makes you look into the eyes of a deadly reckoning. It's a kick in the groin, a scary look at what could happen. This is a great listen if you have the will to face it. The characters are well written in, and the plot/s are not out of this world, but definitely entertaining.
I'd like to think my constitution is pretty strong. This book stretched it a bit. However, the reality of a SHTF event will turn many into pulp. The people with an acceptance of the reality around them will see some of what took place in this book. That's going to mean a shifting of their moral perspective. Things won't be righted for many, many decades to come, and the planet's population will be down by over 60%. Books like this will be long forgotten, but for now books like this are a tale of caution.

The description of what an 'OS' or Operation Specialist does is completely wrong; however I'm probably only mentioning that because I was one. I went to the exact same school in 1989. That being said I want to thank,and commendThe Senior Chief for his service to our country, his personal sacrifices, and the sacrifices his family made during that service. Good story Senior Chief! BZ!

Savagely Human, Humanly Savage!

Having listened to many action packed books that frame the protagonist as a man bent on defeating his enemies, and saving the world; this one too definitely got my attention. Big difference here is that Jason isn't trying to save the world. Jason is just trying to keep his little piece of the world from crumbling, and that's a much different thing. This book, and the following two that tell the story are believable. Fantastic for sure, but you can relate to the characters that continue through each chapter. The story is fantastical, and very much pushes the edge at times. I would definitely recommend this book, and for that matter the entire series. They did not let me down. After this I only want more!

Smells familiar.

My second look into Kurt's life. In the days of Nirvana I had a glimpse only of the 30,000 foot view. In 1989 I bought Bleach, and I was blown away. In 1991 the impression was one of disbelief that they'd evolved to a level many times better than Bleach. Nevermind was a masterpiece in my opinion. Having grown up in the 80's I was exposed to lots of Indy, and underground punk, and Nirvana were the best !
This book reveals a life lived by a person who severely needed lots of love and compassion. Not blaming his parents because after all how can a person predict what they're going to do to their children by their actions. Although I do blame his Mom some. It's just tragic though.

I'm not big on doing reviews, but this, and all Dalton Fury books are worth it! If you want a story that builds, and provides immediate action then this is it. Hands down another awesome 10 star listen! Bravo Zulu to Dalton Fury for creating a great story, and Ari Fliakos as usual for a great job on his narration. I 100%reccomend this, and all Dalton Fury books.!!

This outranks all the books before it. That's difficult to day when I thought the same of them. Can't wait for the follow-up!

I've followed Mat on social media for a few years now, and this book is true to his form. Using humor everywhere he can, and maybe some places some might think he shouldn't. I'm recommending this book to all my veteran friends; maybe even people who aren't veterans. Thanks for writing the book, and making it funny. Cheers Mat!
