Great story!!

I really like the series and the action. These are great books so far. However, the reader performance is just not good. When reading the story he’s fine. When he reads first person, it’s terrible. His inflection and tone is all wrong for the lines. This story is based in Mexico and the characters all sound like a bad imitation of Speedy Gonzalez. I hope it gets better in future books.

New reader required

Great story but I think the readers voice is better suited for another genre. I listen to menu books on audible and the narrators can make or break a series for me.

Too Much Political Innuendo

I love this series but hate the underlying politics. Just tell a good story and leave out the politics.

Another great Jake Noble book!!!

I’m writing this review after listening to all 6 books. I read 1-5 on my Kindle and was super stoked to see book 6 roll out. William Miller did NOT disappoint!!! So I’ve written a review that really applies to all 6 books. So you’ll read this on the other books. Like any good book (IMO) there are characters you like and characters you’d like to slap up side the head with a large fish, preferably a Lionfish, at minimum a large catfish. I like Jake Noble, he’s not like some hero typecast characters who invariably beats the evil and rarely gets a scratch. Jake often has to work hard for his victories and rarely is much given to him. You know the books, the weaponless hero gets to the cache site and finds a HMMWV with a MK19, M4’s with EOTechs and 20 gazillion rounds. Jake’s gets to his caches and finds 40 yr old K-Rats and eats them. Like I said he has to fight for his wins. He’s got a good cast around him, usually ready to support him or leave him to his own devices with thoughts of firing him always overshadowing him. My favorite character in all 6 books is The Wizard. I’m my time with n I have ran across old intel codgers just like him. Guys that have been around the block so many times they should have named 4 streets after them. Now for the Golden Globe award for “Most Irritatingly Irritating Characters”. And that award and Lionfish slaps gots to Ezra. Smart as a whip and with less horse sense than a rock. Not to mention he’s the whiniest human I’ve ever listened to. Now I know why I started and enjoyed this series on my Kindle before in Audio. At least I could give Zee a more manly voice as he whined, complained and basically peed his pants at the sight of the most benign beings, God forbid a threat with a weapon! All that aside I thoroughly enjoy William Millers writing style and I have been patiently waiting for Will to pick up this series again! A couple of years ago I exchanged some emails with William and he is as good a human as they come, and that makes listening or reading his books all the more enjoyable. Now for the constructive criticism:
- the narrator shouldn’t make every female character sound so dang whiney. Even the non-whiney/weak characters had that whiney trait that went counter to the persons character.

- it wasn’t this book, but there was book 4 that there were Russian characters than had zero Russian accent (I hope I’m not thinking of a different series but I don’t think I am.) the narrator should apply appropriate access to the various nationalities regardless. It lends more realism.
- I would give - free of charge - a military/tactics review/edit of the Noble series gladly. Trust me when I say that nowhere in this universe would an 18 series MOS (US Army Special Forces) ask someone firing an MP5 if they can accurately or effectively engage a threat at over 700 meters. That question would never come out of their mouth. Also there was a portion of book 5 wheee if I’m not mistaken Jake and another character (DF) were engaging threats with short barrel AK’s at distances those weapons cannot reach, much less effectively. I could have misheard that, so take that with a grain of salt I guess. My point is that authors who include current or former SOF soldiers or even SOG operators who are almost always former SOF, should have someone who understands that world to provide editing - reviewing to ensure that storyline doesn’t go into the realm of impossibility when it’s not necessary. That’s just my 2 cents.
I m sure there are haters who might complain about Jake’s mom or Sam for their Christian faith and quoting bible scriptures but I thought it added an element that many authors are afraid to add, and it wasn’t overboard or over saturated, so if you do read a negative review mentioning that, just know that whoever left that review is really going overboard and likely just a God-hater. It was seasoned without being over salty. I’d you know what I mean then you know what I mean.
I truly hope there is a Jake Noble 7, 8, 9, 10…. I want to know what happens to Sam! And yes Jake is getting on up there at 36, he still has some gas in the tank!!!

Not a bad series

The second release in this series was as okay as the first. the stories are decent, although this was a mirror image of the Hillary server scandal and the election against Trump. Even using the exact headlines from the mainstream propaganda machine...I mean networks, is okay. The biggest issue with the stories is the presentation. The reader is fine, but not for the genre this falls under.

Get another narrator

The narrator is lacking. The story line was decent but predictable but wow I struggled with the narrator. His voice acting needs series work and he mispronounced numerous words. His Mexican accents sound more like the comedian I’ve heard on Sirus. I sometimes couldn’t tell the difference between one person from another.

Okay first one was better

A little too much political that took away from the story in this one. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Too much political BS

Constantly making the villain a Dem turns me off. Especially now. In these times when the real villains are on the other side of the street it just seems like Fox News. BS. Better authors out there without the BS.
