Discriminating Consumer

Overall a Entertaining Listen

Revisado: 01-09-21

Very detailed attack descriptions. The Audio version was hampered by the belief that sound effects would enhance the story. Author was excellent while at Sea, but felt the need to "humanize" the war with "love" subplots. Not what I believe (my opinion of course) that individuals who read/listen to this genre of Submarine Adventure/History/Entertainment are looking for. Also, you would think that the boat was maned by 5 to 6 People. There is much more to a crew than the CO, XO one or two additional Officers and the COB. If you enjoy WWII Pacific Submarine novels, this novel is certainly worth a credit and your time.

A 21 Century Political dissertation set in 1870's

Revisado: 12-23-20

A 21 Century Political dissertation set in 1870's. Story line is a stretch, but obviously the story line is not the focus of the book, rather it's the Political dissertation. Performance was very good. I will give Book 2 a listen, before I decide whether I believe the Series is entertainment or Political dissertation.

Great Listen. Have a Map of the Pacific handy.

Revisado: 12-05-20

Excellent Listen. Great Detail. Having a Map of the Pacific handy will certainly help give a better understanding of many of the challenges confronting both sides, particularly when it comes to logistics. If you are even remotely interested in the War in the Pacific, this is a must listen. I have probably completed 20+ books on the War in the Pacific, but to date this listen has been the most comprehensive. I am confident you will not be disappointed if you elect to listen to this book.

Magicians, Illusionists and Spy’s. Who da thunk it

Revisado: 11-08-20

Same CIA history in Moscow, but explained with a different, yet factual viewpoint. Certainly worth the time to listen as well as the cost of a credit.

Another Example of “The Greatest Generation”

Revisado: 08-28-20

A great overview of the US Submarine Service in the Pacific Theater during WW2. If you have any interest in Submarines, this is a great listen. I was privileged to work for and know a gentleman that was a Junior Officer serving in the Submarine Forces in the Pacific during WWll, Captain Walter Mazzone , USN Ret. Truely a Outstanding, Patriotic, Dedicated individual.

Once again, a common individual makes a difference

Revisado: 07-31-20

The book is 5 STARS on all three categories, Story, Performance and Overall. Intriguing individual, which Americans should be grateful to. The most notable point was that after her husband had been executed for passing information to us which was worth Billions of US dollars, we blew her off when she requested medical assistance from the U.S. We really know how show our appreciation. Still, a Great Listen. Learned a Lot.

If you enjoy the Aubrey Maturin Series this is 4U

Revisado: 03-29-19

If you are a fan of Patrick O'Brian then you should give "Under Enemy Colors" a Listen! Russell seems to be cut from the same "Sailcloth" as O'Brian. While I have not run into anyone, so far, that can top Patrick Tull's Narration of the Aubrey Maturin Series, Simon Vance does an extremely credible performance in Under Enemy Colors. Just finished Under Enemy Colors and immediately purchased the next book in the series. I'm confident you won't be disappointed if you give a listen to Under Enemy Colors!!!

Exposes intriguing insights!

Revisado: 01-26-19

Excellent listen. Having lived through this period of history, it helped connect some dots and provide insights. Certainly drives home the point that one individual can definitely make a difference, whether it be be for good or evil. Thought provoking!!
