About this listen

When a training mission goes wrong, Sublieutenant Tom Thrush finds his brand-new career hanging by a thread.

Desperate to redeem himself, he makes a rash wager - he’ll lead a squad in a mock attack, boarding and capturing the visiting gunboat Diana in record time. He hasn’t got a chance, and to make matters worse, there’s a visiting admiral watching the attack from her yacht. Tom, desperate, sneaks aboard the Diana through a gun port - and stumbles into the middle of something much worse than a training exercise. There’s a traitor aboard the Diana, planning to blow the admiral’s yacht out of the sky.

Suddenly Tom is fighting for something much bigger than a foolish bet. If he loses, the admiral dies - and so does Tom.

The Things a Man Will Do to Prove Himself

This is a fun short story about a young officer who does something stupid in an effort to prove himself and ends up averting a war. His inexperience shows and makes him both more believable and more likeable. There’s also a nice twist on the bad guy. All in all, it’s a very quick and enjoyable read.

Short, but Good

Even though this was so short, it kept me engroced right up until the end. Now I cannot wait to continue with this series.

Jake delivers

as usual Jake Elwood's novella has the action and humor he is known for and gives a bit of backstory for his Central character.

Just Meh......

I really liked the Green Zone Books but this one felt rushed (mind you 50 something minutes).
Rather listen to the next installment of the Green Zone

Delightful! I will listen to more of this author!

This is about a 30 minute listen, and you won’t regret a single minute. I’m looking forward to learning more about the Jake Elwood universe. I can’t speak to character development in such a short sample, but I did like Tom and Horst. I will put more of Jake Elwood’s books on my wish list!

Just a Little Taste

This was included in the Plus Catalog so I gave it a shot. Entertaining story. Honestly, after listening to Book 0, I would have spent a credit on Book 1 to see if it kept my interest. As of now, I've only listened to Book 1 and I do not know where Book 0 fits in the series or maybe this was just a side-story but it doesn't matter. I'm all in. The remaining series is also included in the Plus Catalog so I've included them in my library.

I liked the narrator. He didn't distract me. I liked him so much that I didn't notice him. Some compliment! I have listened to some stories that were interesting but the narrator bugged me so much that I stopped listening. Not so here.
