Seamus "Fack" O'Malley

Good story of what wasn't. Thankfully.

Revisado: 03-25-25

The reader did a mostly good job, but should have studied up on how to say unit and equipment names and not read them verbatim, but overall it was a good tale. Having been in during this particular era it was nice to revisit early capabilities or lack thereof, that warfighters take for granted now. Also to see mistakes that were learned in Desert Storm, though I cant say for sure all of the tactics were accurate for the time. I'll have to reread Team Yankee and World War III again and compare how it stands up to them.

Lost Time

Fantastic tale of luddite time travel. Will have to give it a second listen to see if it's all tied together, and recapture some details. Enjoyable distraction.

Great tale of seedy '30s Seatle

Revisado: 06-06-24

Really enjoyed this story and it's "pulpy" feel from the perspective of a newspaper man instead of a hard boiled detective or Private Eye. I don't read many mysteries so it was intriguing enough for me and not too predictable.

watch out for the double regen....

Revisado: 05-14-24

Two good little tales from a time when the world was different. A good hop into later tales in the series. And a chapter of interviews.

Expertly relayed tale of British combined special services action

Revisado: 05-04-24

An excellent book overall. A great build up and introduction to various characters from different branches of British Special Services, SAS, SIG, SOE, and Commandos. it regails some of their early exploits and and background on the concept and creation of SIG. Then it shift to one of the most audacious missions of WWII, retake Tobruk.

cut and paste staccato reading

Revisado: 03-09-24

I'm having trouble listening to this book as many of the sections sound cut and pasted. There is no rythm or flow to the reading with many inserted pauses that take the reading out of context. It seems like the reader was using AI to string his words together instead of reading the book. A serious disservice to the author and the work as there is a wealth of information but the reading is one of the worst I've come across on Audible.

Decent effort, broken timeline

Revisado: 09-01-23

Good combat action, poorly researched history. Sealous Scouts were Rhodesians, not South Africans, and ceased to exist five years after the antagonist's birth year. It was impossible for him to have been a colonel in the Rhodesian Army at five. Not to mention any of his mercs who were called Sealous Scouts would be well into their 60s and 70s in the book's setting. It would have been better to have done a little research to see what actual threats are out there at the global level or create a new one from whole cloth.

A terrible book read well

Revisado: 07-27-23

Terrible story peppered with good action and performed exceptionally by RC Bray. Read Black Hawk Down and Day of the Rangers instead of this work of fiction that insults those men by strap hanging off of their heroism and sacrifice.

catharsis

Revisado: 01-10-23

Heart was poured into this book. I hope it was a cathartic venture for Steve.
