Story
A year and a half into her first term as President of the United States, Libby Paulsen is in a world of trouble. Her controversial agenda has placed her in a doomsday clash with a right wing cabal led by an enigmatic Air Force general. The conspirators will stop at nothing - including assassination - to remove Libby Paulsen from office. When the cabal targets Air Force One, Libby's Presidency - and her life - rest in the hands of a maverick pilot named Pete Brand, a man with whom the President shares a long-smoldering secret.

The speaker is so monotone and jowely that i couldn't follow the story for more than 5 mins at a time. I finished the last 3 hours in 1 drive and couldn't tell you what happens. I learned more from reading the book preview than I do from listening to the book. A good story can overcome a bad narrator but combine a lackluster story and a guy that sounds like he recently had a stroke and it become a danger to listen while driving.

Story
Since World War II, the American public has become fully aware of the exploits of the 101st Airborne Division, the paratroopers who led the Allied invasions into Nazi-held Europe. But within the ranks of the 101st, a sub-unit attained legendary status at the time, its reputation persisting among veterans over the decades. Primarily products of the Dustbowl and the Depression, the Filthy13 grew notorious, even within the ranks of the elite 101st. Never ones to salute an officer, or take a bath, this squad became singular within the Screaming Eagles.

This was hands down my favorite book of all time when I first read the paperback version a few years ago. So I was excited when I seen it on audible. It delivers just as I hoped. It's my favorite audio now. If I was trying to find a fault the only thing I can think of is the voice of Jack. It's not the voice I had in my head but it's perfect none the less. It's of an old man speaking just like the books wrote and it fits perfectly. The voice I had was an old man that I've know my whole life. Anyway. Of the 50+ WW2 and biography books I've read this is the best by far. The stories are incredible and well researched from the author. Every great tale has some stretch but this one never makes you second guess it for a second.
