Story
The Charisian Empire, born in war, has always known it must fight for its very survival. What most of its subjects don’t know even now, however, is how much more it’s fighting for. Emperor Cayleb, Empress Sharleyan, Merlin Athrawes, and their innermost circle of most trusted advisers do know. And because they do, they know the penalty if they lose will be far worse than their own deaths and the destruction of all they know and love.

Great Story - horrible Narrator
Reviewed: 08-20-24
At first I thought the Narrator's voice was going to be great, but the fact that his tone and inflection doesn't change throughout the entire reading became a problem. It was especially difficult when multiple characters were conversing with each other and you could not easy tell who was saying any given line in the conversation as they all sounded and spoke the same.

Dull Warcraft story
Reviewed: 11-27-18
This story was overall dull and uneventful. It reflects the direction that Blizzard (Activision) is taking WoW and has left me not caring about what happens next in this universe (which is something I have cared about for over 2 decades now).
The narrartor's performance was top notch however.

Story
When Monster Hunter International's top hunter, Owen Zastava Pitt, was given a tip about some hunters who had gone missing in action, he didn't realize their rescue mission would snowball into the single biggest operation in MHI's history. Their men are being held prisoner in a horrific nightmare dimension, and the only way to reach them is through the radioactive ruins of a monster-infested war zone. As if that wasn't bad enough, it's also the home base of the powerful creature behind the devastating attacks on the Last Dragon and Copper Lake.

Good "lite" story
Reviewed: 08-06-18
I enjoy the MHI books mainly because he has a great story line going on that doesn't get too "heavy" like a lot of the "high epic" series you can find all over these days.
Correia's ideas and concepts of traditional religions, myths, folklore, etc are definitely refreshing and his MHI books remind me of why I first began liking the TV show Supernatural.
So far I have only read/listened to the core books of the series, but I do have the books written by other authors in my Library for future enjoyment.

Poor combining of the audio files
Reviewed: 01-30-17
Throughout this entire book the audio segments overlap to where you have repeated sentences quite often.
The narrators did a great job, but whoever combined the recordings did a horrible job.

WORSE READING/PERFORMANCE EVER!

- Debt of Honor
- A Jack Ryan Novel
- By: Tom Clancy
- Narrated by: John MacDonald
Good story, terrible narration
Reviewed: 03-13-15
Would you listen to Debt of Honor again? Why?
No. I got through it only to continue on with the rest of Tom Clancy's books. The Narrator is very monotone and robotic sounding. After the first few hours it didn't seem as bad, but this is definitely sub-par when compared to other audiobooks I've purchased from Audible.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Great story, but definitely seems to be the point where Clancy takes a left turn away from the real world and begins developing his own alternate history. Definitely looking forward to the rest of his books.
Any additional comments?
If you have the time, I'd suggest reading this one instead of listening to the audio for this book. I originally had it halfway read, but due to work, school, and family schedules, my spare time for reading was killed and the audiobook was the only real option.
