Great smart story!

Revisado: 08-23-24

Dislike - introduction where Liu’s name was totally butchered in pronunciation. I got past it!

Likes - the cultural aspects, the science, the characters, and the plot twists I didn’t anticipate.

Learned about a mostly forgotten important history

Revisado: 08-12-24

I knew the broad strokes of the sinking, but many details were misrepresented. It was enjoyable to learn the true details of the sinking.

I was not aware of the legal precedents that were established and how they are part of international law today.

The story has several repetitive parts, but overall it is a worthy investment in time to listen to.

Basic and not worthy of my time.

Revisado: 07-09-24

Reader was great and that was the best part of this book.

The story was basic and predictable. I knew nothing about this “universe” and it was recommended by my teenage son.

My recommendation to him and you, listen to the Dune books in order or the Foundation series for a superior story and future of humanity. This was good for a teenager but there is better literature out there.

Short, sweet and worthwhile

As good as his other works. My expectations were low for his first foray into military history.

I learned so much! Excellent performance!

I presume like many, I know about battles and key figures. This book focuses on the preamble, which was much more complex in failures of leadership than I had thought.

Many key people I’d never heard of. Excerpts from diaries and letters take the listener back to understand what they were actually thinking.

Great listen. I learned so much!

I chose this Gettysburg book based on reviews and that it was not too long. I’m glad I did.

Too many characters to keep all in my mind, but I loved the preamble for both North and South, challenges and failures for both in leadership, logistics and technology, and the aftermath well explained.

I just wish I’d had time to listen to it all before hiking around Gettysburg and the battlefield.

Enjoy the unexpected twists in plot and revelations of backgrounds that enrich the saga.

Think of the parallels between Venport and Musk!

An excellent continuation

So pleased I continued on my Dune odyssey! Writing style and story did not diminish as I’d feared.

Perceiver for an hour

Revisado: 01-13-23

I couldn’t stand the monotone voice of the narrator, but after an hour or two, like the stench of a new world, I got used to it and enjoyed the story.

Painful to listen to but persevere and learn

Revisado: 06-10-22

Horrible narration, but I wanted to learn more about Texas and the Alamo as I have a project in San Antonio. A little too Ra Ra Texas and freedom, but I learn more about the history of the state.
