Story
Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

Story
Three-time Hugo Award-winning author Allen Steele now imagines an alternate history rooted in an actual historical possibility: what if the race to space had occurred in the early days of WWII? It's 1941, and Wernher von Braun is ordered by his Fuehrer to abandon the V2 rocket and turn German resources in a daring new direction: construction of a manned orbital spacecraft capable of attacking the U.S. Work on the rocket - called Silbervogel - begins at Peenemunde. Though it is top secret, British intelligence discovers the plan, and brings word to Franklin Roosevelt.

Sure to rank as one of the greatest aviation memoirs ever written, Viper Pilot is an Air Force legend's thrilling eyewitness account of modern air warfare. From 1986 to 2006, Lt. Col. Dan Hampton was a leading member of the Wild Weasels, the elite Air Force fighter squadrons whose mission is recognized as the most dangerous job in modern air combat. Weasels are the first planes sent into a war zone, flying deep behind enemy lines purposely seeking to draw fire from surface-to-air missiles and artillery. They must skillfully evade being shot down - and then return to destroy the threats, thereby making the skies safe for everyone else to follow.

From Frederick Forsyth, the grand master of international suspense, comes his most intriguing story ever - his own. For more than 40 years, Frederick Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of arms dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has been chillingly plausible because every detail has been minutely researched.

Very very well done!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just about!
Any additional comments?
I first heard the story by accident on CBC, driving in the FL panhandle on X-mas Eve. Read by the author it lasted around 1/2 hour (45 min?) and I thought that's all there was. Have to admit I never read the book. But i loved the story and found that short version of it on X-mas stories CD and I've listened to it count less times since. So I approached this rendition with a lot of apprehension. Now I love it as much as the first rendition I've heard! I love the additional material that missing from the short version. Narrator does an excellent and convincing job as well. Listed to it twice in the 24 hrs since purchase. I have to disclose that I'm extremely biased toward stories dealing with flying. Being a pilot myself I tend to associate into the story a lot, and imagination gets easily set off :-)

Brings to mind the sweeter side of Twilight Zone
Would you consider the audio edition of The Shepherd to be better than the print version?
I can't compare this to the written version but its a great listen for any fan of non-traditional Christmas stories and Audio Books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There really isn't any long development of the other characters...just the Narrator. But that character was well defined with human frailty and fears, augmented by an aviator's cockiness. Based upon the short but thorough development of Johnny Kavanaugh's personality and character, I would chose him...his strength of character and his nature leave the listener satisfied but unsurprised by his gallant actions.
Which scene was your favorite?
The final scene wherein the "Truth" about the Shepherd's identity is revealed and understood by the Narrator.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Happy Christmas, Johnny Kavanaugh!
Any additional comments?
A wonderful, sweet story for Listeners who want to hear more than the normal Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th St, or It's a Wonderful Life. There isn't too much surprise, but it leaves you with a nice feeling, as it ends with a short by compelling summary of the character of John Kavanaugh, leaving the listener nodding in agreement that this story is in character for that fabled pilot. I liked it and will listen every Christmas.

Thank you for a heart-stopping story.
A fascinating story. Mr. Forsyth presents a descriptive and wonderful Christmas tale that, I hope, might have had some basis in reality. With Mr. Forsyth's excellent description and Mr. Konicek's strong narration, it seemed I was sitting next to the pilot with my stomack knotted and my eyes squeezed closed believing this had to turn out "all good."
