Really good, but incomplete

Revisado: 04-21-25

I really enjoyed the listen and learned a great deal, but ending with the departure of Diamond Dave seemed to leave a lot of history unexplored.

What the... where's the ending?

Revisado: 04-01-25

I love Sandford and really enjoy all the books with Lucas and Virgil, together or not, but this one bombed because of the ending. Sorry to spoil but there isn't one. If I had the hardcover I'd have thrown it across the room...

Great educative listen

Revisado: 03-13-25

I was really pleasantly surprised by this engaging and informative listen. Great stories and the narrator is outstanding. This book shines a light on many uncomfortable financial truths.

Abrupt ending

Revisado: 02-14-25

It was an interesting story, but dealt more with internal struggles and feelings. The ending was perhaps the most abrupt I've ever heard. Do not expect resolution.

Fantastic listen

Revisado: 10-11-24

Author did a great job sharing the backstory of the sci-fi summer of 1982. He didn't belabor anything, and had good insights into everything he discussed. If you're a movie fan you'll enjoy this. Narrator was great, too.

Fantastic listen

Revisado: 10-03-24

I'm more a fan of Hollywood history than The Godfather, and this book tells the backstory on that particular classic incredibly well. The writing was great, as were the quotes, and the narrator was fantastic. This book is additional proof that it's a miracle any movie ever gets made, much less a great movie. So much raging egotism...

Terrifying yet educative

Revisado: 09-05-24

I was blown away by how well the author made his case. The fragility of our interconnected world economy has been obvious for years. (We don't realize or respect how important the US military presence is globally like we should...) And it's also been ignored way too long. I appreciate his optimism for America, and am saddened at the suffering in store for billions over the next few decades. Will mankind figure it out since it's already too late?

Really stuck the landing

Revisado: 05-08-24

Excellent end to an excellent trilogy. The plot was swift and the last several chapters Winslow dispensed with the fluff and stuck to the action. It was a great choice. If you enjoy Winslow and gritty crime drama, you'll appreciate this book.

Sanford delivers

Revisado: 04-15-24

If you like Sandford, you won't be disappointed. The plot in this one maintained great momentum throughout. Truly a scary premise if you acknowledge how realistic it is. I honestly thought he'd write more to wrap things up, but that's okay. An afterword would also have been interesting.

What's the big deal?

Revisado: 02-10-24

Not impressed, and no clue what the positive reviews are talking about. This was slow, often boring, and all build up with zero payoff. It spent so much time on character development it forgot to be scary or suspenseful. If you like a book with zero explanations but a lot of exposition, by all means, have at it.
