A War Too Far

A Vietnam War Novel

By: David Lee Corley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The true, untold story of the real beginning of the Vietnam War...

In 1945, OSS sniper René Granier parachutes into the misty mountains of Indochina with his elite Deer Team. Their mission: ally with Ho Chi Minh's guerrillas against the Japanese.

Side by side, they fight. Some die. Trust forms in the crucible of war.

As the war winds down, old powers move to reclaim their colonies. Promises are broken.

Branded a spy without a chance to defend himself, Granier finds himself betrayed by the very warriors who once called him brother.

Now he stands at the crossroads of history with one bullet to rewrite the first chapter of America's longest war.

The first casualty of war is truth. The last is trust.

Perfect for fans of John J. Gobbell, W.E.B. Griffin, and Tom Clancy who crave authentic military action with complex, battle-scarred heroes fighting both external enemies and their own inner demons.

Shockingly well told . . . a tad confusing in that . . .

Shockingly well told . . . a tad confusing in that the writer did not easily differentiate between which character was speaking . . . “he said, she said” . . . I couldn’t stop listening to it! I hope there is a sequel to it that I am unaware of . . . I would relish a continuation of same . . . SKH

AI voice stinks

Virtual voice is terrible. I would not pay for a title that has AI voice telling the story.

Virtual voice nullification

The virtual voice took out anything positive I have to say. I gave it 45 minutes. That’s enough.

Disappointed

This is the first and last time I’ll knowingly listen to a virtual performance in audio books for the foreseeable future. This decision is based upon both principle and quality. I chose to do so this time, against my principles which prefer to support the actors, out of curiosity. The performance was not only lackluster but there were notable instances of mispronunciation, incorrect translation of abbreviations and contractions, lack of or misplaced emphasis, and mundane emotions. Such a disservice to the author and the otherwise well written story.

Hard to listen to.

The computer voice is hard to listen to. Only made it through a few chapters.
