Tark's Ticks

A WWII Novel (Tark's Ticks, Book 1)

By: Chris Glatte

Narrated by: Roberto Scarlato

A desperate and bloody defense in the early days of WWII.

Hours after the fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Army invades Luzon. The allies retreat to the Bataan Peninsula and the ensuing bloody battle sets the tone for the entirety of the war in the Pacific.

Far from home and abandoned, the brave GIs and Filipinos fight the Japanese to a standstill. Long months of bloody fighting take their toll on both sides, however, the Japanese have reserves, the allies don’t.

Sergeant Tarkington and the soldiers of the first platoon are put to the ultimate test. With dwindling supplies and constant harassment from the battle-hardened Japanese, the GIs must adapt and become a cohesive fighting unit if they hope to survive.

Good Story. A lot less bad language than others of its type.

Enjoyed the story. Appreciated some of the attention to detail such as the military using Springfield at this point in the war and not the M1. I also appreciated the fact that there weren’t characters that cussed every other word.

The narrator was good. He annunciated well, but lacked a little bit in the realm of excitement or emotion. However, this was only worth half a star at best and it was really just a preference thing with me. I fully intend to finish out the series.
