not much

Revisado: 08-25-24

The worst narration that I have heard in a audiobook in a very long time. The reader read too fast and it was difficult to discern the endings and beginnings of sentences and paragraphs. The reader did not even attempt to pronounce Polish names and places correctly. The content of the material itself was rather superficial.

Same stories over and over again

Revisado: 01-06-23

Author lists 48 Laws of Power and the proceeds to use the same examples over abd over again. Perhaps a good book to have for reference in hard cover but not a great audiobook. I would be hard pressed to list 5 of the 48 laws and I just finished the listen.

Huh?

Some where in this rambling disjointed hodge podge of words might be something of value to someone. As a vet of 3 conflicts (wars), that someone is not me.

I am by no means a Donald Trump fan. Super glad he is not a president anymore. But this book is over the top partisan drivel. I should hsve returned it but I finished it simply for the same reason that people slow down and look at car accidents on the interstate.

I wish I could get my free credit back

Revisado: 01-01-20

Pure drivel. December Audible Originals were pretty weak on substance/ things of interest to me so I selected this one as one of the free selections to members thinking that I might get a few chuckles out of it. Also thought that I could not go wrong with so many positive ratings. I get it that I am not a fan of the Romance genre but there should be something redeeming about the story with so many positive reviews- there was not. The book (if it can be called a book) was simply pure drivel.

Suspend all disbelief

Revisado: 08-07-19

I really wanted to like this book but it is really bad. Exciting perhaps. But only if you can get past the total lack of research performed by LtCol Rawlings. Not Clancy and not Coyle for sure. As a retired military officer, I understand that it is a difficult to write such a book as it does require a great deal of research. However, LtCol Rawlings simply called it in- lazy. So forget about details such as there are no Tank Regiments in the US Army as combat formations or that tank on tank meeting engagement battles are over almost as soon as they start- especially without air support and indirect fire support. Forget the lack of research into details entirely. Now you must suspend disbelief to enjoy this book. You have to believe that there are no other military units in Poland other than territorial defense forces. You have to believe that the US Air Force in Europe does not exist. You have to believe that no other country in NATO has an Air Force that can react to an incursion into sovereign airspace within 24 hours. You have to believe that the US Navy does not exist either in the Mediterranean or in the Middle East area of operations. You have to believe that invading Russian forces have somehow figured out a way to move from the Eastern Border of Poland to Ansbach, Germany in less than 24 hours. Google maps tells me that it will take about 13 hours by car- impossible for an armored formation moving under contact to even come close to this. The list goes on and on of things that you have to believe that have no resemblance to reality. Yes this is fiction. Clancy writes fiction and did Coyle- the difference is that they executed due diligence in the research and did not take broad liberties with reality. So what about character development? Really, there is none. Characters are like cartoon characters acting out their preconceived part- the washed up Army officer who has a chance at redemption; the unlikely and unwilling female hero; the Marine officer who bucks the higher ups- if only they would have listened to him; the affable but fat Army Major side kick... this book is a joke.

I'm not even sure what to say other than I was moved. I think you will be as well.

Only so so

Revisado: 07-14-19

I think the overall series could have done without this book. Some somewhat interesting background from previous book but didnt deserve as much time as this book took. Portrayal of teenaged girl characters simply over the top.

Wow

Absolutely terrific story. I have been to Koln many times & have unknowingly walked the very ground where a good portion of this team's saga takes place. I will never see it the same way again. Hallowed ground.
