Partisan Dribble Ruined It!
Revisado: 08-03-22
I really wanted to love this book. I've read many military biographies and autobiographies over the years. This one started out well - until chapter 2. That's when the partisan nonsense begins to rear its ugly head. Fine, you're a conservative, I get it. My issue with this book is that when you talk such a big game about serving our country then disrespect your boss, the Commander and Chief, Barak Obama, you lose credibility. Calling him Barak "Hussein" Obama is not only disrespectful, but wrong. This is just one of the many obvious jabs at liberals that could have been left out. Stick to the storytelling. If you'd left that nonsense out I could have finished the book. Now I have to return it.
The narration is good. I realize I'll be a minority here with this comment, but it needs to be said.

Narrator Issues
Revisado: 04-12-21
The narrator sounded to my like the story was being read by an AI. I’m not sure if she is trying to overcome a distinct dialect but the way she pronounced her “T’s” drove me crazy. She also mispronounced several words in the Christian lexicon that made her dry tone more difficult to listen to. One would think that when asked to narrate a book full of Christian words, sure less used in Protestant Churches, but fairly common words in many Christian books, the narrator would do their homework before agreeing to sit and read. Mispronouncing agape and Nicene to name a couple is distracting. Her pauses and lack of emphasis really killed a great book.
Content wise I loved it! The idea of exploring new avenues of church, community and worship is a great one. The authors heavy use of theology and scripture were well placed and used.
Bottom line - read it...

When a bomb goes off at Yellowstone National Park, threatening the stability of the world's largest active volcano, the reclusive park ranger Harvey "Ben" Bennett is startled to realize that the blast itself wasn't the only threat: the bomb released a virus into the air, and the outbreak is beginning to infect and kill more and more people. Ben teams up with Juliette Richardson, a driven CDC agent working inside the newly-formed BTR (Biological Threat Research) team, to find the people behind the act of terrorism.

Terrible Narration
Revisado: 01-24-18
I have struggled with narrators in the past and never felt the need to write a review. This is the exception. The narrator is simply terrible. It’s like he’s given words in an unexpected stream so his pauses and emphasis are wonky. But that’s not the worst part - his terrible attempt at accents really makes it unlistenable for me. I suggest you stay away from this one!
