“Redacted”? Seriously?
Reviewed: 06-16-21
So he starts the book out by saying he’s not Jack Reese? But then puts in the self serving and totally annoying “redacted” to show how important he is as a Seal. I think it shows what an unimaginative writer he is not to be able to come with a town name in Iraq, or make up a location name in a western state for training facility. Nah, this author is just a fiction thriller wannabe. Dumb idea and my name is “Redacted”

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

A little “thin”
Reviewed: 05-14-21
Fun story. Development of the story wasn’t very strong. He just suddenly showed up at the next on his list. No detail to prep or the process. That left a lot of good details missing that other similar authors take the time to use and enhance the depth of the story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13,048
It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Finally, no Orlagh Cassidy!
Reviewed: 10-23-19
Great narrator, only 1 male voice. I’ve had to stop listening to his audiobooks because of the terrible, one voice fits all, Cassidy. Somebody finally realized how bad she is and didn’t have her narrate this one.
Very good story, hard to predict all the turns story takes. Another great Baldacci book. Highly recommend

Great reader
Reviewed: 09-19-19
This is a very good book, writing might not be great, but all offset with fun story.
Reader was excellent with male and female voices and the slight differences between them. I would love to listen to her again.

When Muslim fundamentalists blow up a key Soviet oil complex, making an already critical oil shortage calamitous, the Russians figure they are going to have to take things into their own hands. They plan to seize the Persian Gulf, and more ambitiously, to neutralize NATO. Thus begins Red Storm, an audacious gamble that uses diplomatic maneuver to cloak a crash military build-up.

Great story, not dated, good narrator
Reviewed: 05-22-18
Loved book when new.
Though set in mid-80’s, still not a dated story in 2018
Nice the way the author/reader rarely had to say “he said...” or “Misha commented...”
Little thing, but pay attention to it next book you listen too, unnecessary.
Minor story negative - if war started over oil needs, why didn’t any military moves head to the Middle East?

Well Rounded War and Politics
Reviewed: 04-25-18
Wars receive treatment in the context of Europe as a whole, but this is not necessarily a WW I or II book.
The political and social undercurrents are addressed in detail and lend an excellent perspective I did not previously have. Reader was excellent

Great book, should be available unabridged. Lose the sound effects, distracting and amateurish.
Love this series.

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Terrible narration, predictable story
Reviewed: 12-03-16
Narration cadence very annoying when the same style is applied to every character, right? OK, right?
Every sentence ends the same way, right?
You knew what was probably going about 6 hours before anyone in the book did.
