Historia
On June 4, 1944, the course of World War II was forever changed. That day, a US Navy task force achieved the impossible—capturing a German U-Boat. Called Operation Nemo, it was the first seizure of an enemy ship in battle since the War of 1812, one of the greatest achievements of the US Navy and a victory that shortened the duration of the war. A deeply researched, fast-paced World War II narrative for the ages, Charles Lachman’s white-knuckled war saga and thrilling cat-and-mouse game is told through the eyes of the men on both sides of Operation Nemo.

Well written and well performed
Revisado: 09-05-24
This was a good listen. Interesting story, good pacing and with enough but not too much military lingo.

Good refresher annoying American narrator
Revisado: 07-07-24
The production quality is not great. The readers affect and inflection often doesn’t make sense in the context because the audio is cut and pasted. It really annoying and so is he. She has a great voice. The content is good though and I recommend it as long as you aren’t bothered by the poor cut up of the audio. He really should remake this.

Helpful but kind of annoying
Revisado: 07-03-24
I found the concept and explanation to be good. I have a good background in French and this was a bit too basic for me but I think his tips and tricks to basic sentence structure are good and helpful.
Production quality is so so and the reader (author) has very annoying pronunciation and voice inflection (nasally too). His pronunciation of the word “what” is wot which grated on me.

Historia
They tried to kill or capture Yozef Kolsko. The possibility that Caedellium could have peaceful years going forward is refuted. The key is bringing down Narthon. But how? Caedellium is too small, despite innovations by Yozef Kolsko (Joseph Colsco) and Mark Kaldwel (Caldwell), humans cast away on the planet Anyar. Allies are needed. Campaigns to be planned. Risks to be taken. For Yozef Kolsko, it means assuming roles he never imagined or believed himself capable. Anyar will never be the same.

Good, but 10 hours too long
Revisado: 10-24-23
If you have listened to the other books in the series then obviously you should continue. I found this one to be way too long though and much of it is repetitive or unnecessary.
I, and I think most listeners, like the development of new technologies, new found “Americans” and the alien aspect. That is about 1/10th of this book which is a bummer. There is so much clay to be molded with the concept, Olan keeps working on the first bowl, time to progress.
Jonathan Davis was the best part of this one.

Not very good
Revisado: 09-11-22
The premise had potential, but the writer didn’t do much with it and narrator didn’t do it any favors. He sounds like an amateur. I got through 60% and finally asked myself why was I wasting my time and stopped listening.

Historia
It's 1974, and Jerry Stieglitz is a grad student in marine biology at UCLA with a side gig selling short stories to science fiction magazines, just weeks away from marrying his longtime fiancée. Then his life is upended by grim-faced men from three-letter agencies who want him to join a top-secret "Project Azorian" in the middle of the north Pacific Ocean—and they really don't take "no" for an answer. Further, they're offering enough money to solve all of his immediate problems.

Historia
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Paid Reviews? This is crazy

There is no way this is the highest rated book on Audible. Its crass, trash nonsense.

Gave up after ch 37
Revisado: 12-08-20
I gave it time but it really went nowhere, characters are un developed, story jumps around way too much so there is no continuity to it. As a result I never really cared what happened to the characters which was/is the kiss of death for me in an audiobook.
The narrator is good.

Historia
Bill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century, 1951, in the middle of the United States, Des Moines, Iowa, in the middle of the largest generation in American history, the baby boomers. As one of the best and funniest writers alive, his is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24-carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero.

Actually quit in chapter two
Revisado: 11-26-20
I tried. He’s is a poor reader of his own writing and his “funny” little quips every other sentence are off putting and annoying. I wouldn’t waste a credit on this, maybe worth it if it’s in the free catalog.

They are coming. The countdown has begun. First visible only as blips on a telescope image, the discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter's orbit immediately sets humanity on edge. NASA doesn't even bother to deny the alien ships' existence. The popular Astral space app (broadcasting from the far side of the moon and accessible by anyone with Internet) has already shown the populace what is coming.

The narrator, Ray Porter, saves this book
Revisado: 11-13-18
This is an average, at best, pre-post-apocalyptic story. The intro book really should be half as long but be included with the next book. The approaching aliens have nothing to do with this story in part 1 anyway so if that is why you are looking to use a credit on this book, don't bother. Commune is a much better representative of the post-a genre and well worth a credit.
