Voice actors great! Can't wait for next one

Revisado: 06-13-23

Ciaphus Cain has to be my favorite Warhammer character now. It is the first series of Warhammer books I have on Audible rather than print and have really enjoyed them,

Steven Perring is THE voice for Cain now and his performance couldn't be better, making the dialogue for each of the characters distinctive and matching their personalities. Penelope Rawlins' voicing of Inquisitor Vail has has deepened since the first Audible book - with emotional inflections and a clear understanding of the relationship between Cain and Vail. Emma Gregory must have a blast with Sulla. This is good stuff.

Just roll with new voice actors & sound effects

Revisado: 04-26-23

Classic Ciaphus Cain short story. It is an hour listen.

The voice actors were different and they used sound effects, which is a fun change of pace from the main Cain books. It had the feel of a pulp fiction radio show. I enjoyed it thoroughly, as well as the other short Cain story Dead in the Water.

Pleased with depth

Revisado: 10-03-22

Most accounts of Hannibal's life and invasion are from the Roman point of view and lack much of the interesting detail and context. I listened to this book twice and came away much more informed of this era.

The other side of the story

Revisado: 02-11-22

It was interesting to hear the non-Roman side of the Mithradatic wars. The history I learned dwells on the internal struggles of the mid to late Roman Republic, and from that point of view its a matter of Romans being distracted from the task of conquering the east.

The author clearly admires Mithradates, and there is a great deal of background into his childhood, character, family life and reputation. I found him odious. The politics and culture of the region were fascinating and this book is insightful.

It is good to find common agreement

Revisado: 02-11-22

Noa and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, nevertheless I am entirely in agreement with her case for Israel. This stands to reason as the facts and conclusions are incontrovertible.

Digressions into cultural and personal anecdotes were interesting, and not only gives insight but also humanizes the author. Which I suppose was the point, but it also made the book more interesting.

Recommended.

Engaging. Liked the format

Revisado: 06-18-21

Each section was about one of the Founders as a sort of stand alone bio. That helped in understanding the relationships between the Founders as each viewed the others. There were so many that I knew nothing about. I'd recommend this for students, as history is driven by people.

Detailed and interesting

Revisado: 06-18-21

The American Civil War is known for its massive land battles. The war at sea and most interestingly to me the war on the rivers was largely unknown to me. Good stuff.

Straight talk

Revisado: 06-18-21

Funny, incisive, and informative. Made me laugh frequently. About the right length and doesn't get bogged down. Must read/listen about the Vietnam war.

America needs more men like him

Imperfect. Patriot. Fundamentally decent. Chris Kyle was a good man who did extraordinary things. Thank you.

Please remove this from my library

Revisado: 05-29-21

I've tried to delete it. But it won't go away. It sits here. In my library. Stinking up the place.
