Not a fan of the music

The story was great but the music during the beginning and end of each chapter is horrible

What does James Naughton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

he was much better than the previous reader

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

too much of the book is given to setting what happened in previous books, I would concider at least half the book was a re-hash. the parts that were not a re-hash were vary good

NOT YOUR VINTAGE GRIFFIN

The addition of mood music is distracting and detracts from the flow of the story.

I'm not sure it was worth the wait

If you have been a fan of the Men at War series since back in the day, you may be a little disappointed in this offering.

I guess it would depend on exactly what you are expecting. For some strange reason, I expected the story to pick up where we left off with Canidy and Fulmar escaping from Hungary, Jimmy in the Philippines, and Bitter and Douglass, Jr. working on the Aphrodite project. I guess it did but it was just a little off. Jimmy and Douglass, Jr. were mentioned in passing but Bitter didn’t exist at all. What about the new young pilot character, Darmstardt, that he spent so much time developing in the last book? He also fell off of the face of the earth. I was also not happy with the personality transplant that some of the characters seemed to undergo during the interim.

Now for the story. It was a good story and very plausible. There were a couple of glaring editing mistakes where characters have information that they were never given. There was also time spent introducing a character that never appeared. It makes you wonder if he was edited out and they forgot to go back and clean up the foreshadowing. I also didn’t like the whole Anne Chambers side story. That was not well written.

All in all if you are a longtime fan you may be disappointed. Hopefully this new “team” will get better with the next installment.

Ruined book

Bad sound effects and over loud music essentially ruined the book! The first W.E.B Griffin book I didn’t enjoy.
