Continued drama, action and romance as the Allies push through Italy.

Lee Jackson continues to draw us in using a powerful mix of dramatizations surrounding actual battles and verified individual heroic actions in both the Pacific and European theaters following a slight run through N. Africa. The Littlefield family continues to near-single-handedly win the war, but the reader can excuse this dramatic license in the name of a great read. Can’t wait for the next installment!

Tedious

I, like others, enjoyed the previous books, this one droned on and I often skipped ahead. I wasn't thrilled with the narrator either. His fake voices were a bit annoying.

Great story.

Love the history told through The experiences of all the characters and their good and terrible experiences.

A bit disappointed

I so looked forward to this book as I love the story of the Littlefields; however, I was disappointed that there were too many chapters without them. Sometimes I felt I was listening to just another student’s history report. I had to listen to multiple chapters several times as I found myself unable to focus on history I’ve already studied so much. I also did not like that the narrator had been changed. I do still love the Littlefields though and will definitely listen to the next book when available.

Well done

Is there another in series? Looking for next book. Seems to be well researched and can’t find how to get next book

Reads like a bad history book

I really enjoyed the first few books but this one forgot all about its central characters and became a mediocre history book. I do hope the author redeems himself with the final book because the Littlefields of Sark were all but forgot, in this one.
