Taking Ground

Wolfhounds, Book 2

De: John Van Stry

Narrado por: Kyf Brewer

With the Battle of Portlandia behind him, Chase is a hero now, and the rank and file truly believe he's the prince the Command Team claims he is.

For his part, Chase has made his choice, and now he's committed. As the face of the revolution, he's in it to win it because anything else will lead to his death. The twenty-five million-credit bounty on his head will see to that.

The problem he faces now is convincing Fleet Captain Witner and his Command Team to trust him when Chase still doesn't trust them enough to tell them who he truly is. Chase has been betrayed too many times in his past to come clean easily, and for all that, he's doing everything they ask of him. Until the Captain and his team give him a seat at the table, he's not about to start trusting any of them.

So he's content to let them continue believing he's a fraud of their own creation to justify the search for a real heir.

Still, he now has Claire on his side, and he can't think of anyone else he'd rather have there. She's as driven as he is and at least as crazy. He's never met a better fighter and probably never will. As a duchess, she's been teaching him valuable lessons about how to act and what to say. As a friend and lover, she's giving him something he never thought he'd have—a reason to win.

Better and Better

If you enjoyed the Prince Roger books by John Ringo and David Weber , you'll love this series. Narration is great, story is phenomenal. I can't wait for book 3.

chase learns and gets to do prince type stuff

That's my jam!

simply awesome series i love this kind of military space opera so very much! I am so excited for book three

Great book not so great narrator

The story is amazing and you should definitely read it. It’s a great continuation of the first volume and leaves you wanting more.

The narrator on the other hand isn’t great. It becomes hard to tell who is talking or even which character is talking. He has one sorta female voice for the female characters but even then he tends to switch to a male voice when more than one lady is talking. He doesn’t keep the character voices consistent, in one scene where two guys are talking he uses a Gruff voice for the older guy and his regular voice for the younger guy. Halfway through the conversation the younger guy has a gruff voice and the older guy has a regular voice. The narrator needs to work on widening his range of voices and keep the voices consistent with the characters that use that voice. His reading speed and the emotion that he puts into the characters is good and doesn’t need any work.

A whopping good story.

The counter revolution proceeds. Things are heating up and the stakes are becoming clearer and clearer. The character development continues and the universe gets richer and deeper. I can see several possibilities as to the directions that this story can take.

awesome

Great continuation of the story and honestly I can't wait for the next one

great story

great story, the only bitch I got is the single voice used for all characters, but not the story's fualt

Ok yet cliche. Narration is monotone.

The story has legs but everything drips with cliches. It's hard to believe the narrator is an actor. He sucks the life out of the story. Everyone sounds the same, bland. Barely worth the credit.
