I’ve read and thoroughly enjoyed all of the preceding books in this series. With the sixth installment, author Lee Jackson has lost the excitement of the earlier books. This story feels formulaic with little of the character insights or historic details found throughout much of the earlier novels. The narration is still excellent and I’m hoping Mr. Miller get back in the saddle for the final book(s) in the series.

I listen to a lot of books from across many genres. This is only the 2nd one in over ten years as an Audible subscriber that I’ve given up on. Perhaps my brain is too addled for Pulitzer-level content, or perhaps the Pulitzer judges are too ethereal & erudite for the vast majority of readers. Either way- I understood but was unable to connect with these stories.

Lee Jackson continues to draw us in using a powerful mix of dramatizations surrounding actual battles and verified individual heroic actions in both the Pacific and European theaters following a slight run through N. Africa. The Littlefield family continues to near-single-handedly win the war, but the reader can excuse this dramatic license in the name of a great read. Can’t wait for the next installment!

Not my normal fare, but I listened based on other reviews. Ms. Van Pelt tells a wonderful, touching and relatable story unlike anything else I’ve read. Approached with just the right amount of suspension of disbelief the reader is pulled into an intriguing story that’s part mystery, part human interest and part fantasy. Looking forward to her next story.

Marc Cameron has crafted a story in the vein of, but not quite to the standard of Tom Clancy. Our young Jack Ryan begins his post Red October career at the CIA.

OK- I understand the literary concept of “suspension of disbelief”, but this author abuses the reader to the point of taking it personally. In an attempt to lure the reader to the final plot twist, we are led from one “how could anyone be so stupid” to the next. Each time with the ramped up emotion of YGBSM. What starts out as a sympathetic protagonist, by the end, leaves the reader believing that (she) deserves whatever she gets- having lost all sympathy. No character is left innocent- all of them are tainted and go down in self-abused flames. In addition, a story which might have been a compelling 8-9 hour listen, was instead a tortured 17 hour dredge with multiple iterations of the same hand-wringing verbose piffle. Her editor should share blame for this gross literate negligence. Ms. Church, however, did a very good job with the narration and her performance is the bright spot in this production.

Very good who-done-it and action adventure story. The author occasionally gave in to preaching about how hard it is to be president but not so much that it took away from the gripping plot line. The same cannot be said about Mr. Quaid’s voice acting. As the primary character, his “regular” voice was broken and halting with brakes that distracted. His foreign accents and female impersonations were much worse- forced and so poorly done that it was all I could do to finish this otherwise good audiobook. I love Dennis Quaid as a screen actor but this book wasn’t a good fit for his talents.

Mr. Groom’s history takes the reader well beyond the headlines we all know. He shares the stories behind the stories and then goes on to tell the history most of us have never heard. The only negative is the frequent decade-hopping back and forth between the three protagonists, almost as if the author was trying to tie the three aviators together where there is absolutely no commonality (other than that they all were pilots).

I’d forgotten how great a truly well written military thriller can be! It’s been years since anyone wrote a story with this much well-researched military background- from hardware to tactics and strategy, this was one of those “can’t put it down” books that only comes along every few years. Note to the authors: the A-10 Warthog does not have an afterburner: )

Brad Thor's protagonist continues to kick butt and take names, but his plots are getting a bit formulaic with the self-righteous politicians and a couple of "stumbles" thrown in to try and keep the reader's pulse rate up. Still an entertaining story- I'd just like a more differentiated plot line. Unrelated: The whole build up of vengeance toward Russia was then dealt with much too quickly/simply at the end- like a steam over-pressure relief valve- it just went "pop-hiss" and the entire confrontation with Russia went away in two paragraphs- neither entertaining nor realistic.
