Fun book to listen to

What did you love best about Black Ops?

Story line that keeps you interested.

Any additional comments?

Good listen that gives you some insight to "might" be going on all around us without us knowing. Not as much military mission info as I had first assumed when starting the book, but overall a interesting book to listen to.

Dick Hill knocks it out of the park, great performance!!!!

The story is belabored with bringing a reader up to date with the previous books in the series. If you can endure that, the rest of the book is well written and the story is very entertaining. The narrator is phenomenal. I return to this series just for the performance, that I don’t think another narrator could duplicate.

Great Book

No only is this an outstanding book that keeps you wanting it not to end, but the narrator of this series is one of the best narrators I have had the pleasure of listening to.

This is a good series- listener beware

These books follow an intricate story that I’m enjoying. Dick Hill is a great narrator. The next book is not narrated by him. The other narrator is ABYSMAL. His cadence is terrible. His pronunciation is wrong on several words. His “accents” are grating..You hear him snack his lips … it’s an exercise in tolerance to get thru it to hear the last 2 books read by Mr Hill.

Awesome

Again. Awesome job to everyone who put this audio book together. If I had one’s complaint it’s the books are draining my bank account but it’s money well spent

Great story.

Hopefully there’s more to come in the saga. The author sure left an opening for a continuation.

How can you begin to hate a character you loved?

Charlie is becoming a whiny little boy. He was always a superhero (kind of unbelievable, but it's fiction). Now, not to give it away, his self-reflection is silly. He's supposed to be a grown man, and a warrior, with a gentle side, not a teenager who doesn't know life.
The other thing is, why are they making all the women leave him? As a woman, it wouldn't bother me if that strong lady cop, had been strong enough to deal with his life. But, not only does she flake out on him, he just lets her. She's supposed to be the love of his life, come on Charlie, be a man.

Frequent Listener

Good story, continues the adventures of Heir Gossinger. Enjoyed Mr. Hills naration, he consistently keeps me engaged in the story with his different characters voices. Only negative, as a series reader I pretty much know the background on the characters, retelling it again only adds length to the story when it doesn't need it. With that said though, if I were a first time listener and started here, I would probably appreciate the background.

A good listen, kept me entertained and engaged.
