Fireteam Delta

De: J.F. Halpin

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland, Dansare Marks

Alex Summers was an army grunt stationed in the boonies of the Alaskan countryside. That was before he and a couple of his buddies got stranded in a forest straight out of his nightmares. Now, trapped on another world, he spends most of his time traveling, seeing new things, and killing them. It's everything the army recruiter promised and more.

Great First Entry

I've been following this author since he started writing and I'm really enjoying his first book. I like the narration, the characters are fun and funny and I am a fan of the genre. I hope to see more world building in the next book and some more minor struggles throughout.

Dropped into an Alt-Earth

So you're in the Army and you find yourself in an Alt-Earth that has elves, instead of humans, along with some nasty monsters. You're goal is to find a way home.

Sounds like it would be exciting and action driven and it is to a degree but its also the slow pace of getting from point A to B while trying to figure this world out and staying alive at the time.

Would a recommend this book? Yes and No. It's an interesting book that is over 12 hrs long and some of those hours are boring, interesting and moves the plot along but boring. I will say the narration is excellent. You could tell who was talking by their voice so you didn't get confused about who said what.

If you can get the book on sell, I would recommend it.

Fun

Not usually a fan of military books, pleasantly surprised with how this turned out. Lots of heart felt moments and interesting twists. Give this one a chance.

Boots

Witness how bright eyed boots even the "combat veterans" become boot level hopes of a brighter future. Buying into local issues and gradually fall victim to complacency.
All the tech advantages they had is burned in a grave and all the comm gear...

A world that grows more layered as it goes on

Halpin throws you into a new world. You'd best keep up because the action doesn't stop.
