    I liked this book. It's a nice series opener. I read the 'tier one' stuff and some is so formulaic/similar. As a woman vet, I like tactics and tradecraft, but I also enjoy real character development. I'll be looking for the next thing the Bragg/Lawless' get into.

    I love this man, he makes me laugh at the insanity of the 21 century. God Bless him and all who help to make his books available to clueless people like me.

    As someone who lives in the PNW, a retired criminal justice employee, and familiar with Rush, this book was very entertaining.

    Well written and narrated. I am English living ing Spain( a crazy place but the people are wonderfull.) I once experienced a winter storm in the mountains of scotland.....visability 10 feet, crazy heavy snow, temp -25.( Not counting wind chill, it was a freak storm) Hyperthermia is an interesting experience. I barely made it back, you start to feel warm and super tired.the snow seems like a nice, soft warm bed.. so i understand your environment amigo. Looking forward to you next book. Well done mate!

    You found the most uncharacteristic quote of H.P.Lovecraft's I've ever read! Now I have to try and find it. Fun book and as smooth as eating a banana split.

    This book was posted 4 months ago. Not NEAR as many commercials as people complained about when it was first released. Problem fixed or I'm just lucky 🤷‍♀️ I'm enjoying the story. Other than my best friend Jimmy passed away yesterday so it's hard to hear his name over and over.

    • @SuccessfulIndieAuthor

      We were able to manually adjust the ads. The auto setting front loaded them which wasn’t optimal.

    more love story than thriller… the balance skewed a little more to mills and boon rather than action. maybe the series livens up. basically a bit vanilla.. but ok. listened to the end. not dissing it just been realistic. could do without the romance tbh

  • @MIsaacs-p3n

    i have premium family account. share with 4-5 people i think . £15 a month. NO ADS EVER. 💯😂 picks up a bit towards the end i admit. maybe its a just a complete into to the series. was expecting more action. but well written and naro

    Rather enjoyable audiobook and narration……However, far too many interruptions with advertisements.

    Wow! My suggestion, more ads! I have to wait 1 minute for every 30 second ad. I have listened for 62 minutes and have heard 54 minutes of ads 8 mimuts of story.

      When I wrote this book four years ago, "Incognito Mode" had some respect for security, but after that, it was revealed that Google was indeed recording data from users using Incognito Mode. You just can't trust anyone nowadays. I'm going to have to go back and change it to a different browser - I'll make something up because Google, what did you do? Keep in mind, if you don't pay for the product, you are the product.

    • @SuccessfulIndieAuthor
      @SuccessfulIndieAuthor  8 місяців тому +1

      I'm not sure the question - this is a complete book with a full story. It is the first in a series of books. There is a short story prequel, but you don't need to listen to that first.
