Action filled book, but unbelievable at times.
I purchased this book out because i wanted to listen to more from the Narrator Ray Porter, the narrator of excellent book 14 by Peter Clines. Ray Porter did not disappoint once again top class narration.
As for the story its a fast paced action packed roller coaster. I think the character development was a bit on the shallow side however.
Where this book disappoints is sections of the action seem totally absurd. Its not at all clear why the Japanese soldiers are not using their rifles and shooting down the heros of the story, how on earth is the sergeant of the platoon able to kill multiple charging Japanese soldiers with an axe over and over again. It may have been more plausible if the author provided some excuse of as to why the Japanese were not able to use their rifles.
Despite my misgivings I liked the book and will give book 2 a try.

HIT THE BEACH? HIT THIS BOOK!
The action in this book NEVER stops! The book is over before you know it.
I have to admit that I could probably listen to Ray Porter read the phone book. Ray Porter has to be one of my favorite narrators out there. Keep in mind that this is not 'Helmet for My Pillow' by Robert Leckie. There is a little bit of fact wrapped up with a lot of action packed fiction. With 600 audio books under my belt, this series is on my short list.
