December 1944, the Pacific Theater. General Douglas MacArthur has vowed to return to the Philippines. He will need the help of Admiral William "Bull" Halsey's Pacific Fleet. But at the height of the invasion, Halsey's ships are blindsided by a typhoon of unprecedented strength and scope. Battleships are tossed like toys, fighter planes are blown off carriers, destroyers are capsized, and hundreds of sailors are swept into the roiling, shark-infested sea.

Another Deaver story
Revisado: 01-31-23
A different kind of story, which was fun to listen. Story starts at the ending and jumps back to the main story. So you need to pay attention, but that is easy to do.

In Gerrardsville, Colorado, a woman dies under the wheels of a moving bus. The death is ruled a suicide. But Jack Reacher saw what really happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving stealthily, pushed the victim to her demise—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away.

No Plan B
Revisado: 01-23-23
Personally, I think this is one of the better Reacher books. Liked the fact that he travelled to help out someone he did not know. My only beef is as a professional engineer. Child referred to a bridge being designed by an architect. Nope. Not at all. Structural engineers do that, not some guy that likes to draw. Other than that, good story, and easy to follow.

For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

As usual, a great story teller. Since I have been down to the coast for vacation many times, the book really caught my attention as I knew the places that were written about. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

During the Civil War, both sides believed that whoever controlled the Mississippi River would ultimately be victorious. Cotton exports generated much-needed revenue for the Confederacy, and the Mississippi was also the main conduit for the delivery of materials and food. Similarly, the Union sought to maintain safe passage from St. Louis, Missouri, to Cairo, Illinois, but also worked to bisect the South by seizing the river as part of the Anaconda Plan.

Great Navy history
Revisado: 07-21-22
Enjoyed the historical record of war on the Mississippi River. Had sought this information for years. As a native of Illinois had been down to Cairo and a now resident outside of st. louis was well aware of its role in the war. Have been to several of these sites along the river. this book tied all I have visited into one nice package.

New Heroine
Revisado: 05-10-22
Good fun read. Sandford uses the liberal media bad guys to create a story of anti immigration and DHS actions. Some of the things his heroine does at 24/25 stretches the imagination, but if you ignore it, the book is fun. As usual, the narrator is absoute perfection and makes this a fun story to listen to.

When I opened the book, i thought maybe I had checked out a young teen or young adult book . but I gave it a shot and 15 minutes later knew it was an adult book. pretty good mystery. took me down all kinds of roads as to who did it. I did have my doubts about some characters, but the ending was a surprise to me Not what I thought at the beginning . a good audiobook.

After some two years at war, the Army in the Pacific held ground across nearly a third of the globe, from Alaska’s Aleutians to Burma and New Guinea. The challenges ahead were enormous: supplying a vast number of troops over thousands of miles of ocean; surviving in jungles ripe with dysentery, malaria, and other tropical diseases; fighting an enemy prone to ever-more desperate and dangerous assaults. Yet the Army had proven they could fight. Now, they had to prove they could win a war.

ggreat book. it shed a lot of light on the generals that ran the war. I had not heard any of this. Major egos. And the conditions these soldiers fought in. Jungle warfare. and the conditions of the Japanese POW camps. I had a lot of respect for the WW II men, including my Dad. I have only more respect now after reading this book.

John C. McManus, one of our most highly acclaimed historians of World War II, takes listeners from Pearl Harbor - a rude awakening for a military woefully unprepared for war - to Makin, a sliver of coral reef where the Army was tested against the increasingly desperate Japanese. In between were nearly two years of punishing combat as the Army transformed, at times unsteadily, from an undertrained garrison force into an unstoppable juggernaut, and America evolved from an inward-looking nation into a global superpower.

Great book. I am a student of history since my dad was in thePacific Theater in WW 2. And I learned so much about the war. The author is correct. The Marine Corps stories overshadow the US Army involvment. But the Army's in the Pacific matched every bit of the Army in Europe. The US had some amazing leadership.
