Reeling from the loss of two aircraft carriers, the US is forced to move its carriers from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.

Changing the narrator on book 4 is never good

Night and day between the two narrators. This guy just isn't a good fit for military fiction. Enjoyed the story a ton to this point. Maybe I'll try the written version but I doubt it. Definitely will be trading in books 1-3 as I no longer have interest in the story as a whole.

Guide for narrators - just read the book

I've enjoyed the first books in the series and they were well narrated. B.J. Harrison has done the last books and I'm not even sure I want to listen to them.. I don't understand why readers insist on "spicing things up" with various terrible accents. Terrible southern accents, even worse Chinese and Russian accents are like fingernails on a chalk board.

Listening to a Chinese general using a non-accented English voice is far better than listening to a terrible attempt at a Chinese accent. I'll probably finish the series but Harrison has joined the list of readers that I won't listen to.

The new narrator ruins the series

First of al I rely liked the series and the story. And was looking forward to listening to this book.

But the new narrator ruins the experience. The narrator does not understand pacing and build up but switches between normal and almost comicaly over the top. No slow build up of tension just over the top excitement that doesn't sound like real dialogue. The previous narrator did a lot better job of conveying the carracters in a believable fashion. Now al the carracters are caricatures over the top, the senior officers al sound like old men with dentures, the president's advisors suddenly have over the top dialects and the foreign accents the narrator puts on span from crocodile dundie wannabes to borderline racist. Every time he put on a over the top Chinese accent I contemplate of the story is good enough to push on through.

The narrator is not even constant in his own characters.

The story is good and you can hint the good characters behind the awful narration.

Great book in the series

This series is awesome it keeps you hooked throughout and it keeps you reading to see just how the good guys are going to pull through!

I want more.

Brilliant writing and very accurate & detailed with real world facts. Can't wait for the next book.

Wow, just wow.

Great story excellently told. There were quite a few moments when I thought about turning it off as the story not only kept me gripped but illicited no little anxiety regarding the outcome. I can't wait for the next installment.

Veterans - The Authors Support You

Excellent series. Lots of adventure, lots of sadness. If you served our nation, whether during peacetime or conflict thus isan excellent read (listen). The authors donate to help veterans suffering from PTSD and also show the deepest concern for all vets.

Oof, very up and down.

The reader is not bad! He is not as good as the last reader, but don't quit just because of a new reader. This book has some really REALLY cringey lines in it. If you were in the military, you will understand. The combination of the writing and the soft child like reading makes the characters sound like people pretending to be in the military.

good action but way too many biased assumptions

Good story lines with the conflicts with Russia and China but the bias was very evident. It's shocking how incompetent and cruel the PLA soldiers were: using Taiwanese civilians as human shields, really? A platoon of marines holding off a battalion of PLA attack, vow. Know your enemy and know yourself, say Sun Tzu. I couldn't finish the book CD as the content became too predictable.

Southern Calamity

With each character in the book sounding like a southern hillbilly, even the Chinese characters. It completely ruins the book series with each passing minute. I hate the way some book series switch narrators half way through.

Poor narration

Good story as usual from these authors. The narrator spoilt the experience. I have also noticed this with ww3 series , for some reason they swap a very good narrator for an unsuitable one.

Excellent depiction of current affairs

Fantastic in feeling the pulse of possible outcomes if the world continues on its current trajectory.
