Different style to the previous Gray Man books

Revisado: 07-19-20

Found this one difficult to get into, mainly due to the way the narrator had to switch between reading the story and the first person account of the lead character.

I had to come back to it quite a few times, close to a quarter of the book, before I listened to it until the end

I much prefer how the previous books where read

It's OK but nothing ground breaking

Revisado: 07-04-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Given that the series has so many installments, it really is hard to tie in a refreshing story. That said, I think the series needs to go back to the basics - Jack Ryan Snr.
The Jack Ryan Jnr character to me is too unbelievable, and to much action hero

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was a little abrupt, and I had to re-listen to it as I thought I'd missed a chapter. No real twists and turns, it all played out as I'd expected really

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

No real stand outs, however I can' knock the narration. It was pretty good

Any additional comments?

The series needed a re-vamp, which I thought the new author would bring - however I found it to meander along using similar twist and turns as previous books in the series

They need to get back to basics, Jack Ryan Snr, John Clark and the CIA. Jack Ryan Jnr is too much of an action hero, and the series has lost all the charm, intrigue and realistic action that got me hooked on the series to begin with

It's an OK book, but not the re-vamp I was expecting with a new author coming on board

A very interesting story about the goings on at ford during that time

The narrator I found a little odd but got used to it quickly

Pleasure to listen, thanks

Excellent book, plenty to keep you listening

Would you listen to Red Storm Rising again? Why?

I have re-listened to sections of the book, it has quite a lot of detail which suits a second listen

What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Storm Rising?

The battle descriptions

What does Michael Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Consistency with a lot of the other Clancy books I've listened to. He's become the go to voice of the earlier Clancy novels

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, there is a lot to digest

Any additional comments?

Excellent book, well worth a listen. I would rate it in my top 3 of Clancy novels

A good follow up and keeps the series flowing well

Revisado: 03-25-13

If you could sum up On Target in three words, what would they be?

This book is an excellent follow up to the first in the series. The story flows well and doesn't have you scratching your head trying to figure out how the story is unfolding.
Plenty of action and small twist and turns, all which make for entertaining listening.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Court Gentry

What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?

Jay Snyder's performance is quite acceptable, the ability to take on and distinguish the different characters makes him easy to listen too

Any additional comments?

Anyone who enjoys the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series will enjoy these books

Good, once you get over the Narrator's voice!

Revisado: 12-01-10

This was my first audiobook download, and at first I must say, I was dissapointed! Straight away the Narrator's way he ended the sentences struck a nerve and I thought I'd give up after a few minutes.
I stuck with it over my 45min journey, and although I found it slow going to begin, the story got good enough to over-power my opinion of the Narrator.
Once into the story, I really enjoyed it! I found the Narration got better as the book progressed, and I really looked forward to the next time I got to listen. Overall it was a positive experience, but I can see how others don't like the Narration.
