A fine continueation

This book was written in the same style and feel of the previous books. There was not as much shooting action as in the previous books. However, the political battle for power continues on as deeply rich as before. If you enjoyed the previous books I think you will like this one. I Hope this was not the last book in the series. I always enjoy his deep character development, and little antics.

Thought this was a great book...

Couldn't stop listening to this one. I'm fairly new to Griffin, but after this audiobook I will be a regular listener!

Black Opps

I always enjoy Charlie Castillo a little to much reminiscing but I really enjoyed it.

Excellent continuation of the storyline

While some aspects may seem far fetched and/or certain things may not be in a logical sequence to me, the storyline has captured my imagination for a good many hours!!

professional job

the reader did a outstanding job of putting Emotional where it needed to be it added to the story

Great storyline, excellent voice acting.

What’s not to like? I’m hooked and will continue to follow both Griffin and Hill in their various projects.

Absolutely the Worst Tripe I have ever listened to

Would you try another book from W. E. B. Griffin and/or Dick Hill?

I love Dick Hills narrations he is in a class all his own. W.E.B. Griffin I may listen to some older things but if this an example of what he intends to write I will not listen to any more of his offerings.

Has Black Ops turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes, the fear of listening to more crap like this is not something I would willingly subject myself to.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

No he didn't, but how he managed to narrate this is a credit to him, as I would have filed this book in the circular file by my desk.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No, it did not have any redeeming qualities and just may have had an equal and opposite outcome, utter revulsion.

Any additional comments?

I had listened to the first three books in this series and enjoyed them very much, I then saw that the reaction to the next book was poor so I came to this one and saw a good review so thought I would try it. Well now I am having a hard time to come up with polite words to convey ALL the negative things I want to say about this book. To say that it was awful is not harsh enough. I like fiction but if the authors and editors thought that the characters and plots were believable they were gravely mistaken.

Was this written by another author?

I've read all of the books in this series. As well as other series by the same author. This one was awful. It felt like it was written by a teenager. The opening was good and then it went downhill fast. The story didn't do anything. It was mostly dialogue. And the dialogue was that of a couple of teenage boys. Just awful.

Disappointing

I've read and listened to them all and this one is the most disappointing of the Carlos Castillo novels. Lack of action and constant reiteration of old character backgrounds makes it a long dull listen.
