About this listen

They were the chosen ones - and the ones who chose to be the best. Never before had the United States given so select a group of fighting men such punishing preparation. Now they were heading for their ultimate test of skill and nerve and sacrifice, in a war unlike any they or their country had ever fought before, in a land that most of America still knew nothing about - Vietnam...

Great Book…. Brings back great memories. From Fort Benning to Brag…. You can almost hear the Cadence in the early morning runs.

Fort Brag

One of the things I enjoy about the author’s series is how he changes the history of his characters from book to book. He doesn’t disappoint with this one either. That said, it is a really good ‘read’.

As good as the rest of the series

The characters are easy to follow and to root for. The story is believable. As a timepiece it's filled with nuance (if that's the right word), but what always bothers me about most military books are how inaccurate they are about the details of military "life". They are like watching an actor who doesn't smoke fumble with a cigarette in a movie. This authors details are both accurate and make suspension of disbelief very easy. If the author is not a veteran then his research is PhD worthy

Great Author Great Series

I continue to thoroughly enjoy each book in this series and I dread the day when I reach the end of the last one.

Reliably outstanding!

another great book by w e b Griffin ,the narrator Eric Dove does a fantastic job

loved the ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narrator does a good job, however, mispronouncing military acronyms and terms is noticeable. I attribute this to not being familiar with the lingo.
Otherwise good listen.

Good Listen

I just can't put these books down. They just keep coming up on my ipod. I like the Lowell character best: he's filthy rich but is engaged by work in the Army. Confined to staff puke work, he continues to amaze, then punches the pooch. On to book #6, The Generals.

Amazing Lowell

Great series.
