Resumen del Editor
For three years, the Nazis have held France hostage, terrorizing its citizens, and deporting Jews to work camps in the East. A company of brutal SS Panzer troops have taken over the City Hall of Caen and control the heartbeat of the city. Local bands of Resistance fighters operate in the shadows to disrupt, derail, and destroy German operations.
The OSS recruits Nick Jordan, an accomplished Yale athlete, to join an elite commando unit. He and his fellow candidates are put through a year-long training regimen at a covert base learning skills and tradecraft far beyond those of the typical soldier. Their initial mission, Operation Wolfhound, takes them into that German-held territory to seek and kill enemy forces in support of the D-Day invasion. The Nazis have never faced a weapon like Nick Jordan.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

It’s brought to life in this audio-only revival by a stunning all-star cast (many playing themselves) led by Daniel Dae Kim.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Entertaining
A reimagining of the start of the OSS with a college educated James Bond type hero in Nick Jordan. Jordan can be suave when needed...or he can be deadly. Already Yale educated and an elite athlete from a wealthy father who has plans for his son, Nick detours to the OSS to answer his own calling. There, he proves to be a special mix of hero and killer, able to negotiate or cause chaos to achieve his objective.
This story is the first Nick Jordan book and a good beginning to hopefully more stories about this privileged hero who has a heart of gold. In this adventure, Nick and his team are told to cause as much havoc and take out as many Nazi's as they can ahead of the D-day landings. Nick not only plans and executes his own mission, he helps a town liberate itself in the midst of the Normandy onslaught. Jordan also has to work to effectively neutralize an SS officer with a vendetta against the French people.
Patrick Freeman was an excellent narrator who was able to accomplish an authentic sounding southern accent and very good French, German, and English accents in this engaging listen.
I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! in exchange for an honest review.

This WWII story grips you from the beginning and won't let go. I listen mostly in the car on my long commutes, but I find myself trying to find excuses to make the trips even longer.

Good "Clean" Teenager and Older WWII Story
Where does Special Force rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A solid middle of the pack.
What other book might you compare Special Force to and why?
Aftermath: Invasion of the Dead, Book 1 by Owen Lucas Baillie because both books had fast paced character development, were both "book 1s", had a quick pace to the story line, and held promise for future works.
Which scene was your favorite?
I had no particular favorite scent. The whole story line was good with a mix of action and background or set up for the next scene.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. The story line was good but not one that made is such that I absolutely had to keep listening to. It was good in that I could put it down and pick it up at my leisure and yet keep track of what was going on and instant recollection of where I left off.
Any additional comments?
“I was provided this free review copy audiobook by the author." So first off yes, it was free in exchange for a review. The genre is one I enjoy so I was very interested in the subject manner. The character development, while not very deep, was enough to enable you to like or dislike the characters. The story line was consistent and flowed in a straightforward manner. It did change from character to character in the telling but was NOT confusing and was very easy to follow. I believe teenagers interested in WWII or war stories would find it a good read. The violence is what would be expected in a war story. It is not over the top and it is not particularly graphic. There is no swearing in it. I would call it a "clean" read. That helped me enjoy the story. There was no gratuitous sex, swearing or violence, as stated previously. Overall it was an enjoyable and entertaining book.

One audible I highly recommend
We here of WW1 and WW2 and read testimonies of survivors in this story you hear about about brave Americans, British and Frenchman who in groups of four and five learn to live together, fight as one and in some cases die to free France from the Nazis.
The story is very well written and the narrator above board to bring the characters alive to the point you feel their happens they have a victory, pain when tortured the ultimate pain the death of a fellow fighter, friend or family member.
I will guarantee you a awesome story that will tug at your heart strings!

This was a good novel about OSS agents and the French resistance. I am looking forward to more of the same from this author. The narration was good and this was well worth a credit.

Well researched 'behind the scenes' around D-Day
This is a somewhat different WWII novel in that, although fictional, it runs parallel to what was actually happening during the days leading up to the allied invasion of France and is plausible enough to be considered "based on a true story." The listener is immersed in the struggles of the French Underground and the mutual support for and by American commando Nick Jordan in their effort to overcome the Nazi SS-led troops occupying the north of France at the time.
The characters are well developed in that one gets to know their backstories and how they led to their fated rendezvous in the town of Caen on June 6, 1944. This is a war story and there is the expected amount of killing, extracting of information, emotional loses, the strengths and weaknesses of those involved, and the lifelong impact war has on people. That being said, the violence described (though somewhat detailed) is never posed in a gratuitous fashion; it is simply the facts of life along the front lines . . . or just behind them.In fact, the most redeeming quality of the story IS the impact that war has on all those involved . . . even the heinous SS major and the ghosts that haunt him.
In my opinion, the key aspect that separates this listen from others like it is the narration by Patrick Freeman; he hits it out of the park on this one. His bring together the blend of characters with their French , German , English and American accents (not to mention both male and female) was nothing short of phenomenal. How he kept them straight and seamlessly spoke from one to the other is beyond me, but it made the listen come alive.
Although this audiobook was given to me as a gift by the author in return for my unbiased review, I would not hesitate to recommend this book for purchase or to spend a credit. It is certainly well worth the time and effort for those that enjoy war stories and this one would also serve as a decent learning tool for teens and young adults in realizing the price of war.
My hope is that this review will be found to be helpful for others in making their buying and listening choices.

Give Me MORE!
Darren Sapp has penned a smoking good WWII yarn that left me eager for the next installment. The characters were authentic and the wartime atmosphere had a gritty truthfulness that left me enjoying the story that much more. Patrick Freeman did a professional job with the narration especially juxtaposing the male and female characters with French , German , English and American accents. Well done all around. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator."

a Fun listen
Where does Special Force rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the top 5
What was one of the most memorable moments of Special Force?
The argument the main character has with his parents. A Yale man and father has life planned out. A two sport athlete he wants to be a spy in OSS vs Naval intelligence. a bit over the top ( as was the whole audiobook) which made it fun like the old RKO WW2 Films
Have you listened to any of Patrick Freeman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No; but he us very good. He did an excellent job of conveying emotion and speech patterns
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed as it reminded me of the 1940's-50's serials. A french girl, bullets flying over their heads and the evil Gremans etc.
Any additional comments?
For a war / romance novel it was great fun to listen too. I really enjoyed itI was given the book to review. The opinions are my own honest reflections of the audiobook
