Apocalypse after apocalypse handled

Revisado: 03-04-25

Steve really brings out the characters that you start to care what happens to them. They may be kicked and down but they’re not out and they will keep doing what it takes. Certainly gives me pause as to how bad some things could get and makes me wish I were more of a “pepper”. Great story and story telling.

Nostalgic and Authentic Dive into Academy Life

Revisado: 04-13-24

As an Academy graduate, this book was more than just a trip down memory lane—it was a vivid re-immersion into the very halls and struggles that shaped my formative years. Phillips captures the essence of Academy life with such fidelity that it resonated deeply with my own experiences, bringing all the good and bad times back into my memory.

From the very first page, Phillips masterfully constructs a world that feels incredibly real and, for those of us who have lived it, familiar. His depiction of the challenging environment, the complex social interactions, and the rigorous demands placed on students authentically mirrors the reality of Academy life. The protagonist's journey is not just a narrative; it's a powerful echo of the past that reminds us of our youthful endeavors and tribulations.

What truly sets this novel apart is Phillips’ ability to make the reader care deeply about the characters. As the layers of their personalities are peeled back, the characters' vulnerabilities and strengths are laid bare, making them relatable and endearing. The main character, in particular, becomes someone we root for, sympathize with, and ultimately feel for as he navigates the trials that the Academy throws his way.

The book also confronts the darker aspects of the Academy experience, particularly the harshness of certain upperclassmen. Phillips doesn’t shy away from depicting the detestable upperclassman whom many of us unfortunately remember all too well. This portrayal adds a critical layer of realism to the narrative, reminding us that while the Academy molds leaders, it is also a crucible in which the mettle of these young individuals is severely tested.

"The Recipient’s Son" is not just a novel for military enthusiasts or prospective students—it speaks volumes to anyone who has faced adversity in a structured, challenging environment. It is a reminder of the friendships forged in fire, the fleeting triumphs, and the painful lessons that are all part of the Academy experience.

In conclusion, the book honors the tradition of military academies but also exposes the reader to the intimate realities of its inhabitants. It is a must-read for those who have walked this path and for those who wonder what it takes to become a part of such a storied institution.

Very realistic

Revisado: 05-18-17

I found the story so compelling based off the use of realistic characters that act the way I would imagine that they would since there are stories of misogyny, heroism, craziness, and even racism. I usually listen to the books in 2x speed but I wanted to ensure I heard everything so listened in 1.5x which was very clear.

Fantastic read

Revisado: 03-15-17

What a hoot! Have to love Sam and all his adventures as told by so many characters, I lost count. The story was good and while the ending was partially predictable there were surprises around every corner. Makes me wish I were him.
