I thought I would love this one -- alternate history, WWII Nazis fighting British warlocks. What's not to like, right?

Well, the book reads like a really nicely written high school fiction workshop project. The characters have an average IQ of around 75, and their approach to each of the "problems" encountered is slow, obvious and completely expected. Even the dialog is pedestrian.

Sorry to say that I wasted a whole credit on this one, but please, please do not make the same mistake I did. Skip right past this one and get something better and worthier of your time.

So far it has all the elements I enjoy from a solid book, which are a good story, rich understandable and relatble characters and flowing naration.This is easily one of the best I've listend to so far.

Hard to say but it feels like a Tomy Clancy Novel with Dr Who elements.

Liked this alot it was similar to listening to an old fashined radio show which completly suits the book.

I was a little skeptical to read this one, the description just didn't do much for me. But i obviously purchased it and i am glad i did. This is probably one of my favorite books Ive ever read. It was original, fast paced, narration was amazing, and it had me tensing at certain moments and smiling during others.

I am starting book 2 now, and cant wait for book 3.

Buy this audio book and listen to it. No one will be disappointed.

I can't reccomend this highly enough. It's a little hard going at the very beginning as the various story strands are introduced, but they converge into a magnificently entertaining, if slightly grim story. Eagerly looking forward to the rest of the trilogy,

I was not sure if this would be my kind of book with the mix of Science Fiction with actual events, but I found it to be well written and engaging. Still not too sure on the emphasis on the baby though, not adequately explained to my satisfaction.

but entertaining. It's worth the listen, but don't expect greatness. The book drags in places, but one gets the sense that the next installment will be really fun.

An interesting story, but the narrators laughably bad German accents draw the attentions away from the story and characters. However, I won't lay the blame for this on Kevin Pariseau, who's reading is fine when not doing the accents. The problem is with the producer who should has recognized this problem and directed the talent to tone it down. Might have to recommend that you buy the book and read it instead of listening to it.

i loved the premise of this book, warlocks vs uber men in WW2. Really original and unusual. however, i am mystified by the incomprehensible decision to have an american narrate the story. Mr Pariseau CANNOT do any sort of British accent! his upper class toff, cockney, and home counties accents all sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Absolutely terrible. As for his Scottish accent, oh my god!

this really spoiled the quality of the book. The author's work has been completely traduced by this terrible, terrible narration. it looks as if there will be more books in the series. the publishers need to get someone else to read them, such as Sean Barrett. then it would be worth listening to.

despite really enjoying the story i am not sure i could tolerate listening to this narrator again. were it not for the poor narration i would give this 5 stars

Frankly I would have to, there are so many aspects of this story, so many minute details that later come back to haunt you that re-listening to this book would be quite enjoyable. Not to mention the fact that story, reading and flow are all brilliant.

It's the pace, the mood and the accents. He has a good voice for action, intrigue, but also intimate moments.

We'll meet again, I know where, I know when. It's a tiny play on a song that is mentioned in the book. Incidentally I would also have that as the theme song for the trailer. Vera Lynn "We'll meet again".Incidentally I doubt this book could be made justice in a movie, It would on the other hand lend itself perfectly to the mini series format. There are just so many little facets that don't seem all that important at the time, that turn out to be crucial to the plot later.

As for the book and the story itself. It is simply breath taking, it has been years since I've had to stop an audiobook just to give myself the moment needed to gather my wits after the author simply turns my view of everything upside down in the most marvelous way I've experienced.

The Character's themselves are magnificent, human, brittle broken things, but still larger than life heroes doing their utmost to save what they believe in the most. This book and the one that comes after it are by far the best thing I've listened too / read in years. The integrate weave of plots that the author, and the characters weave around and through themselves will cause you to break out in shouts of horror, apprehension, delight and excitement all at the same time.

Truely Breathtaking work.

I can't wait for the sequels! Great story, great characters, and well-performed. It held my attention from start to finish - couldn't put it down! Intellectual, fantastical, and rich.
