Fantastic. Perfect self contained story ripped right from real life.

Revisado: 05-12-24

Loved this, and impressed with David's writing style. So glad I gave this a try.

Really stupid and boring

Revisado: 12-19-21

As a SciFi fan, I regret to say this is horrible and I couldn't make it through. Nothing happens and I simply couldn't stay interested.

I can't believe this is a series

Revisado: 12-10-21

This had to have been written by a teenager. It's so bad I couldn't make my way all the way through. It's awful.

Written as a giant exposition dump, nothing happens after the initial invasion of any consequence. There's some gun porn. That's it. If it has some amazing ending that I'm missing out on, oh well... I can't force myself to suffer my way through.

So frustrated with this author

Revisado: 06-25-21

Almost ready to quit the story of Thomas Kydd. there were chapters I skipped, there were passages I just fast forwarded through.

I'm a devotee of this type of naval fiction, and there are some traits of this author I can't stand. I loved Kydd to start with, but he's become an idiot.

SPOILER: When he burned the mercury ship, I was yelling for his superiors to relive him of duty for being an idiot.

At times the story was so slow, I skipped chapters just to relieve myself of the tedium of Stockwin's style. I'm looking for a new story to follow if this next book is as bad as this one.

one of the best of the series

Revisado: 03-13-21

Lewrie meets a real challenge to his cess. This book was great from start to finish, but seems to be part of a trilogy.

One More Precious CS Forrester

Revisado: 05-11-20

I'm a hopeless fan of CS, so I won't bother spelling out moments... they were all favorites.

I will say if you love Hornblower or African Queen, you can't but love this book too. Different tone, but the same old CS with his knack for detail, pace, and character study.

Bittersweet, little out of date, and still great

Revisado: 03-09-20

Back when the oval office was occupied by men of (mostly) virtue, I suppose this would be just a run of the mill fantasy. I can easily imagine an amp'd up prototype of HW Bush, Ike, or - maybe a real life - Teddy in the role. But now, the obviously Republican Jack Ryan revealed by Marc Cameron just makes me feel nostalgic and sullen.

Nevertheless, it feels so good to read about a fictional president who's intentions are noble and actions constrained by competence and fact - I can literally suspend disbelief. I love it.

I just wish the author used a tiny little bit of nuance for his political foil. It's a little out of date.

Only for those of us who Cannot Leave Westeros

Revisado: 03-07-20

I admit, it's hard to barrel through. It's dry and stake-less, but it rolls through events crisply. It lacks the charm of RR's usual writing, but if cannot seem to leave Westeros, it's a good salve.
