Big Pete

Privateer Tales, Book 4

De: Jamie McFarlane

Narrado por: Mikael Naramore

The fourth book in the Privateer Tales series, this short story steps back in time to the Great Amazonian War.

Shot down behind enemy lines, all Marine Sergeant Pete Hoffen can think of is getting the remainder of his beleaguered platoon back to the extraction zone. But when a cocky, PITA lieutenant orders him to leave behind one of his own, he'll have nothing to do with it.

Big Pete fights to locate his men and get the wounded out of the city, rescue his missing pilot, and avoid ripping the entire city down around him. His capture brings an entirely new problem. Who will rescue the rescuer?

There's a reason Liam Hoffen goes up against great odds in order to do the right thing. He learned from his father that sacrifice and honor go hand in hand.

Nice background

Another little side trip. Does give some good background. Background that's needed in later books.

Too damn short

Enjoyable story about a secondary protagonist. Well told but too short to really satisfy our curiosity.

Kinda Short

This story is a bit of good background matetial but could be a bit longer.

Love the series, but a full credit for 90 min???

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

An anthology of short stories?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not really applicable, it was not that deep story

What does Mikael Naramore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The actor doing the reading was wonderful excellent intonations and characterizations

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Big Pete?

I would have made this one short story in anthology of stories

Any additional comments?

So sales practices are shortsighted.

Great backstory

This short story provided depth for both Big Pete and Silver. I had read an earlier free short story about Pete as a private which helped give this story more relevance and increased my understanding of his character.

Great back story

this short story give background on Liams dad Pete to make a rich universe thats just comming into being a much appreciated background in a caracter that influences who Liam is

Good Origin Story

This traces the last Mission of Big Pete. It shows how he met Stera, his wife and how he got to the Asteroid. Good story but think it should have been cheaper. full price was a bit much, take $2 off it would be about right. I dont regret it but it wasnt long enough to justify the price.
If price is a big deal, id skip it if your interested in the Main cast. If not, it fills in the blanks a bit.

Spoilery area below

How come Pete didnt acknowledge Stera or his Son's ship being named after his lawyer from his case? Seems like adding Stera into the story was a stretch and a forced injection for the sake of adding another legacy character, at the cost of continuity.

Book 4 is a single short story.. That's it.

It's just 1short story

Rip off calling it book 4

No respect for author now

Short but sweet.

I was expecting a longer experience. l liked the performance. It was great but as I said a bigger experience for getting out of enemy territory was expected. It was abbreviated and hurried in my opinion.

A little short for a credit.

This story is great if it was a chapter in apart of book 2. Put all of the little stories together and make a book to fill out each character. As a 1 credit title you kind of feel a little cheated.
