Boarding Party

Green Zone War, Book 0

De: Jake Elwood

Narrado por: Johnathan McClain

When a training mission goes wrong, Sublieutenant Tom Thrush finds his brand-new career hanging by a thread.

Desperate to redeem himself, he makes a rash wager - he’ll lead a squad in a mock attack, boarding and capturing the visiting gunboat Diana in record time. He hasn’t got a chance, and to make matters worse, there’s a visiting admiral watching the attack from her yacht. Tom, desperate, sneaks aboard the Diana through a gun port - and stumbles into the middle of something much worse than a training exercise. There’s a traitor aboard the Diana, planning to blow the admiral’s yacht out of the sky.

Suddenly Tom is fighting for something much bigger than a foolish bet. If he loses, the admiral dies - and so does Tom.

Good book

You'll enjoy the book. Excellent story and performance. Glad to see these quality of books in the free catalog. Thanks

a great beginning

a great start for a new series great narration enjoyable story I highly recommend

Entertaining, the narrator does a nice job .

Love the story and entertaining parts were brought to life by the narrator's wonderful rendition I can't wait to hear the rest.

The Things a Man Will Do to Prove Himself

This is a fun short story about a young officer who does something stupid in an effort to prove himself and ends up averting a war. His inexperience shows and makes him both more believable and more likeable. There’s also a nice twist on the bad guy. All in all, it’s a very quick and enjoyable read.

Short, but Good

Even though this was so short, it kept me engroced right up until the end. Now I cannot wait to continue with this series.

short but worth the listen

surprisingly well written story. good character development and the protagonist actually used his brains. fun listen.

Jake delivers

as usual Jake Elwood's novella has the action and humor he is known for and gives a bit of backstory for his Central character.

Just Meh......

I really liked the Green Zone Books but this one felt rushed (mind you 50 something minutes).
Rather listen to the next installment of the Green Zone

Delightful! I will listen to more of this author!

This is about a 30 minute listen, and you won’t regret a single minute. I’m looking forward to learning more about the Jake Elwood universe. I can’t speak to character development in such a short sample, but I did like Tom and Horst. I will put more of Jake Elwood’s books on my wish list!

Just a Little Taste

This was included in the Plus Catalog so I gave it a shot. Entertaining story. Honestly, after listening to Book 0, I would have spent a credit on Book 1 to see if it kept my interest. As of now, I've only listened to Book 1 and I do not know where Book 0 fits in the series or maybe this was just a side-story but it doesn't matter. I'm all in. The remaining series is also included in the Plus Catalog so I've included them in my library.

I liked the narrator. He didn't distract me. I liked him so much that I didn't notice him. Some compliment! I have listened to some stories that were interesting but the narrator bugged me so much that I stopped listening. Not so here.
