Slow starter

I know the development of the back story is necessary but it went on and on. once it Cole finally got involved it was enjoyable.

Great story

I have really enjoyed this series, loved the humor and how the soldiers come together to get through the toughest times using humor to brighten those times. Here we have a group going behind enemies lines trying to bring one soldier that is being held home. Not sure that they are only going in for one but that is how the story starts out, what happens is they end up bring more back than they thought they would. It is a great plot, well written, highly entertaining, I love the danger, how the story is laid out, with a touch of romance that most soldiers go through at one time or other.

I am not as happy with this narrator as the one that has been doing this series. There are time when I don't feel what the men are going through there was no true emotion pulling me in making me feel the danger, excitement. I thought he left it flat, I didn't care for some of his character voices. It wasn't a bad audio I just didn't feel the passion that I got with the last narrator. There are no background noise, no repeating of word, it is a very clear audio that I did for the most part enjoy. I thought repeating the name of the book at the start of each chapter was a little to much and took away from the start of the book. I was just getting into the story when Red Sniper was said which took my thoughts to that and not what was going on.Still it is worth a listen if you have listen to the rest of the series you should enjoy it.

The bottom line is it is a great story, narration isn't bad. I look forward to listening to the next one in the series with the narrator that started this series.

What a performance!

I must say I did enjoy the book.
I will also say that the performance made the book come alive. The many characters that Ray Bader gave voice to had me wondering how he did it so easily. Fantastic job!

I love the series!! But….

I have listened to the entire series so far, and In the past books, the narrator was good.. then this book.. they changed the narrator, and his voices for the characters suck!! I tried to listen to a book in the past, a zombies book, and this was the narrator for that book.. I hated him so much I could not finish the book..

it was ok

the narrator makes Bakaro sound like an idiot, zero skills on a Brooklyn accent. however, Russian accent was enjoyable!

Narrator change

I have listened to the previous 4 Sniper books and the narrator voices were great. This book took a while to get accustomed to the voice change. However, the story was great.

Couldn't finish.

I don't care for Ray Barder after having J Scott Bennett narrate all the other books. I just can't get into it. I guess after hearing characters sound a certain way it's hard to have it change. That's my 2 cents.

Narrator

I enjoyed the previous books of this series however the narrator and his voices were terrible!

Thriller

This was not what I would consider a thriller. It is an ok book. It is not the kind where you cannot turn it off .

Poor narration.

I enjoyed the first two books in the series and I believe that this book would have been great also. My question is, why change narrator basically in the middle of the story? It's like changing actors in the middle of a movie! I could not finish the book.
