excellent narration;

as a fan of Tom Clancy and this genre I particularly enjoy this type of narration.
melodramatics are out of place in the mouth of the dragon.

Great book but not a very good narrator

I really enjoyed the book. Good story. But honestly in my opinion I don’t like the narrator. I prefer the guy that narrated The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games

Hard to put down

Loved the book but the narrator, ugh. Please go back to the previous narrator. Seemed monotone. After about 1 hour I had to stop each time and take a break from his voice.
