Pacific Sniper

A World War II Thriller

By: David Healey

Narrated by: J. Scott Bennett

In December 1941, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor plunges the United States into war. Fresh from the hardscrabble mountains of Appalachia, Deacon Cole joins the fight against Imperial Japan. In his first test against the enemy, he will use all his skill with a rifle against a deadly Japanese marksman. Across the beaches and jungles, they take part in the savage battle for control of a Pacific island. Can he protect his squad, or will they fall, one by one, under the enemy’s crosshairs?

Worthwhile

Plain country language such as the average G.I. might use adds to the authenticity of the writing.

the authors descriptions of the subjects in the book made them seem more human

I was disappointed in the book. I was expecting it to be an actual first person account of a soldier on Guam. instead it was basically a fictional story of several misfit troops and very little accuracy of actual events in the battle on Guam.

It Was Ok...

Both the book and the narration are just okay. Far from great...not close to horrible...simply okay.

In the author's defense (not that he needs it) I'm coming off of listening to P.T. Deuterman's World War II Pacific series, and relistening to W.E.B. Griffin's The Corps Series. In my opinion, those are both hard acts to follow.

Boo

I’m so tired of Amazon writers writing incomplete books to string into one long drawn out series to get you to buy more copies.
