The narrator was terrible.

The narrator was so bad I couldn't tell you if this story was good or not. If I wanted to listen to someone who spoke like former President Nixon or some gangster from the 1920s I definitely would go watch a movie.

This Review Needs a Title...So, I

An abridged version that lasted barely two hours. It was so tactical that it would have made a good CONOPS vignette for a new weapon system -- 25 years ago. LtCol McLanahan fights a B2 with more fantastic capabilities than a 50 plane gorilla strike in a SE Pacific scenario.

abridged

I really hate abridged books...get us the full version. I really enjoy Dale Brown's Dreamland books.

Enjoyable, but too focused.

Id have liked it to touch more on the world outside of the combat. It felt like a sawed-off Tom Clancy novel, still good, just, abbreviated, less filled in. Ended kind of abruptly too. the performance was great for the American characters, but everyone else kinda sounded messed up, idk.

Sky flip

The plot is typical Dale Brown . The story kept me on The edge and I couldn't stop listening. The commentator although good, his voice impressions of American characters is not very good. His voice stereotypes the Americans as good ole boys and in some cases high string twits.
