Land, Air, and Sea Adventure

What made the experience of listening to Acts of Vengeance the most enjoyable?

Aerial furballs, afterburners, backstabbing bureaucrats, and military romance. What's not to like?

What other book might you compare Acts of Vengeance to and why?

Robert Gandt is a cross between Tom Clancy's military high-speed plotting, and emerging author Lt. Cmdr. Leland Shanle's attention to historical detail. I'd follow any of them into a dogfight.

What does Thomas Block bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Thomas Block is a wise choice for the voice of Robert Gandt's creative voice. He carries the tone of a salty Admiral retelling his fleet's latest sorties.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I won't post any spoilers. There are clear heroes and villains in this tale.

Great story. Very well told!

For anyone with an interest in Naval aviation and the intrigue of contemporary geo-political Middle East intrigue, Acts of Vengeance is a must, Mr. Blocks narration was outstanding!

An Intense Military Ride

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because it is well done and I enjoyed the narration. For anyone looking to read or listen to a read of a military book that shows both sides, this one is for you.

What about Thomas Block’s performance did you like?

Thomas Block is an excellent narrator with a range of ability. He does a great job narrating this and other books he has narrated for.

Loved it.

This was my first audio book. Listened to it on the way to a Nova Scotia from Florida by car. I'am a retired Canadian Forces aviator and served 2 years on a destroyer I was an air weapons specialist. I found the book technically well written but not so much so that my wife was turned off ( we both Enjoyed it). The premise was entertaining the back and side stories meshed together well.

The Narrator was excellent his inflection, accents and "turn of a phrase" were entertaining without overshadowing the story itself his pace of reading was perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality ( listened to half over the vehicles sound system and half straight from my iPad speaker) it was as if the narrator was in the vehicle with us and it was of the same excellent quality from beginning to end. Mr. Block actually sounded like he read it in all one sitting.

I plan to listen to more work by this author and also this narrator.

Perfection

Keep the coming! This series is of the best I’ve ever heard. Brick for the win
