About this listen

In late summer of 1994, Jack Noble, a former All-American quarterback, is in the middle of the toughest event he's ever taken part in: marine corps recruit training. After eight weeks he's managed to make enemies of every drill instructor and every recruit in his platoon. Then on one particularly humid South Carolina day, an odd sequence of events changes everything. Contains an excerpt of Noble Intentions: Episode 1.

Good but too short

I like the story and the narrator did a great job. I just wish there had been more to it. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Prequel short story to Jack Noble series!

This short story is set in US Marine boot camp where Jack Noble meets Riley "Bear" Logan for the first time. It is not Book 12 in the series as Audible lists it.

This should be…

This 30 min snippet should be part of Book 0 instead of where they started at the hand off…not worth the credit or the money spent.

Kick Ass Beginning

I've listened to the whole Jack Noble series, and this short story sets the perfect tone for the rest of the series. Wonderful/Amazing author and the narrator is a bad ass. Keep up the great work you two.

Enjoyed the teaser

Interesting intro to the series. Full of intrigue and excitement. Also, the hazing was very apparent

Nicely narrated

Very enjoyable listening, the voice clear and placing the intonation at the right moments. It was nice to learn how Jack and Bear got to meet - puts their friendship into perspective along the series.

A decent start, but still not sure 🤔

The narrator could be better, sounds like Yogi the Bear. Thought I was getting the whole book instead of just the start.
