A diverse and rich cast of characters reveals the sacrifice and frustrations of war. A no-holds-barred accounting of the actual battles, shown through the eyes of the novel's characters, uncovers mistakes and even incompetence at the highest levels. Vengeance shows the disastrous results of these decisions on the lowest common denominator: the war fighter. Closely following the actual battles of Midway and Guadalcanal, the listener gets an insider’s view so vivid the smell of cordite will hang in the air.

Disjointed story, 2-D characters, no ending?
This book is probably best for a young person who knows little or nothing about flying or WWII history and has a very short attention span. It's also a poor choice for Audio as the author inserts a date-time group every two or three sentences, which get annoying quickly.
Not sure what this genre is supposed to be. Is there a genre called "disjointed comic-book style with no character development and location/character changes every fourth sentence"? I have read and listened to a wide range of historical fiction and mostly enjoyed them and how they built believable characters and placed them in historical times and events to let the reader experience it as if they were there.
I don't think the author of this one ever really decided what he wanted this book to be. I also wonder if it was edited by the author only. Some of the flight instruction part was accurate and condensed well, but the rest was very chaotic.
Probably not unless the reviews by many others were stellar and I had read other books by same author. I will not try any more by this author, no matter who narrates. There was also a good bit of inconsistency in pronunciation of the names of people, places and even ships. Not all of these were Japanese either.
I gave up at chapter 13. People and places kept switching so fast for no apparent reason that I didn't get a chance to know anything about any of the characters. The editing and continuity of this book is terrible. It needs a good editor who can make it flow and doesn't shift everything every few minutes. The writing level also seems more intended for a very young reader/listener, both with very simple sentence construction and with lack of any of the nastier details that go with war at sea or in the jungle.
Very disappointed. Usually books I get here are better written, edited and performed, even if the content is not for me.
