Publisher's summary

The Last Marine: Book One is author T.S. Ransdell’s vision of a future American dark age where all civilians serve at the pleasure of the government. In this dystopian tale Joel Levine, a journalist/historian for the government, is given the task of creating a history to remind people why the bygone American warrior culture was dangerous to them. To do so, Levine is given Government VIP status to interview the last known veteran of the disbanded United States Marine Corps, Sean Harris, incarcerated for the remainder of his life for murder and treason. What Levine initially sees as a simple assignment turns complicated as an unrepentant Harris challenges Levine’s progressive values and morality. Levine is forced to decipher between propaganda and history of the Sino-American War; and confront his own sense of guilt for his grandfather’s role in the American Renaissance.

Leaves you hanging

There are LONG pauses thru-out the book. It becomes very annoying to listing to.
The book leaves you hanging, no closer, no answers to things mentioned in the book .
It introduces people in the book, gives some background and kills them off all in 60 seconds or less.
I will be returning the book.

Looking forward to the next in the series, what a great story a clear view of the way things could well become.

The author did a great job self reading the book. His energy and intimacy with the story worked. The story is well done, characters developed and emotions evoked.

The commitment of the marines.

The book was good but I think it could have been written without as much bad language.
