Sad follow up.

Revisado: 03-07-21

Wil Wheaton made this tolerable, but the writing was just lazy and predictable. The great 80s references which were part of the first book become an agonizing gimmick in the second. Way too much obscure detail which seems to be there to fill pages. The plot had real potential. would not recommend if you loved the first book.

Tough getting to the end.

Revisado: 02-26-21

This book start slow, really slow. maybe chapter 18 till things pick up. The story is OK with reasonable character development.
The killer for me was try the narrator for Ona Susan. Not clear what the reader was going for but it's almost intolerable to listen to.its gets somewhat better later in the book, it's the worst I've ever heard.

This is a Tier One Book

Revisado: 01-17-19

I got this book during a two for one deal and was worried about picking up a series on the third book in. I am happy to say that the missing backstory did not impede my reading of the book and will likely pick up the first two. One problem i have with this book is the exhausting use of the words Tier One. OMG, by the third book in I think we get it. I understand the Series is titled Tier One, do we need to be reminded every third page. Try playing a drinking game and take a drink every time you hear Tier One. If you are still coherent by the end of Chapter 2, you are a Tier One Operator. I think this book could be a 5 star for sure, but this constant reminder that these characters used to be Tier One Operators is at first just annoying buck quickly moves to a Tier One PIA. And if your still reading this review, Tier One to you.

A great trilogy of adventure.

Revisado: 12-01-17

A great idea for a story. This could have been a very long series and still may be but I thought the author did a great job in the three book series
A great escape.

A great blend of mystery and science fiction

Revisado: 10-06-16

I am a big fan of this other and find this to be an interesting alternative to his typical books addition of a Mickey Spillane type mystery with science fiction is a great story

Worth a Second Chance on the next one.

Revisado: 12-01-15

What did you love best about Power Down?

I thought this was a well written and enjoyable read. As I say in my comments below, Mr. Coes needs to do some more homework on weapons, ballistics and tactics, but the book was good enough to make me want to buy the next one and give it a try.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Mr.Coes needs to do some more homework on weapons and the world of terminal ballistics. I understand this is fiction with a somewhat larger than life hero. However, the author seems to have just grabbed the firearms bible and started rattling off every weapon type he could find. State Troopers Carrying M-60s and "cocking" a Glock are just clearly the writing of someone who does not know firearms. Mr. Coes should sit down and understand the impact difference between a 45 ACP from a 1911 and a 7.62 delivered from an AK, just things that authors like Vince Flynn and Brad Thor realized they should understand to better write these types of books. Finally I hope Mr. Coes gets the chance to spend some time with the Spec Ops community to understand how they work. I do not want to give away any of the story but parts of this book throw out Ranger and Delta training to simply hype up the action. Was surprised to hear Mr. Coes interview at the end where he talks about how he strove for accuracy, he needs to strive a little harder.

Did Peter Hermann do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I thought he did a good job on the whole but his deliver is over the top clenched teeth, Mr. Hermann must have had sore jaws at the end of each day after this performance. I think the story would listen better if he would just ease up a bit on the way he delivers Dewey's lines.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually came pretty close and did it in two. Despite my comments above I did like this book.

Slow Start but worth it

Revisado: 10-20-11

I really enjoy this author. I find his books to be a bit of a work to get into but then the story really takes off and you never want it to end. I highly reccommend.
