John Puller is a combat veteran and the best military investigator in the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division.

    Would you try another book from David Baldacci and/or Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ?

    I've liked other Baldacci books in the past so I will probably try another one.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performances?

    Heck no, two readers with little chemistry killed the flow of what little plot there was.


    Any additional comments?

    I wanted to like this book,but the sound effects plus poor performance made it tough to get into.

    Like many young idealists, Eric Greitens wanted to make a difference. During college and afterward, he traveled to the world's trouble spots, working in refugee camps, serving the sick and the poor on four continents, from Gaza to Croatia to Mother Teresa's home in Calcutta, among others. Yet he could not prevent violence or save anyone from becoming a refugee; he could only step in afterward and try to ease the damage. So Eric joined the Navy SEALs and became an elite warrior....

    If you could sum up The Heart and the Fist in three words, what would they be?

    Smart, dedicated, worldly


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Heart and the Fist?

    Earl, the boxing coach, making him take pride in the trophy he had received. It was a powerful lesson and the dichotomy between Eric and Earl's backgrounds was very poignant.


    Any additional comments?

    Why don't people of this caliber run for office?

    Combat pilot Jake Bronson believed the worst was behind him. But when a sophisticated terrorist cell shows up in his home town, he's drawn into a conflict that threatens the heart and soul of every mother in America. The bonds of love and loyalty are tested as Jake and his friends are swept into a deadly chase that takes them from the beaches of California to the depths of the world's longest underground river, and finally to the remote jungles of the Venezuelan rain forest.

    Would you try another book from Richard Bard and/or R. C. Bray?

    Narrator was fine, better than most. But this story became trite and over dramatic, the action was consistently over the top and so non stop that it became noise. It was hard to buy into the varied dramatic settings.


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed to first book, and forgave some of the silliness, but in this book the intrigue of the main character wore off and I started rooting for the book to be over.
