Centurion Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Way too right for me, kooky right. "

" It goes to show what having the most experienced and well armed force gets you. "

" Brilliant imagining of an entirely plausible "Time of Suckage." Ringo has not only the mindset but the slang and cadence of Army warrior-speak right. Thoroughly entertaining and more than worth the reading time. "

" Oh, wow! I loved this book. I think it's because it's the down hard and dirty (and short) of what Weber takes many tedious staff meetings to describe. And it's more enjoyable, with attitude and spirit. Go out and loot! "

" Like a modern version of Emergence, sort of - except this guy had a little more to work with and the scenario leading to the desolation was, well different (and he had access to lots and lots and lots of weapons and equipment and vehicles and ...) Fun, interesting, but still probably not going on my 'favorites' shelf. "

" Quite fun, definitely written from a military point of view. The story of what happens when a serious plague hits the world and how some places cope better than others. "

" I enjoyed this book, but anyone with a left-liberal mindset will probably dislike it. "

" Different and awesome. Such awesome sarcastic humor. Great story. "

" Really enjoyed the book. Very salty language. "

" A little heavy on the Fox News rhetoric...but OK overall. "

" Has a blog point of view and the speaker goes off on many tangents. I enjoyed it but be prepared to meander on those tangents so you understand the point the speaker is making. "

" EXCELLENT read -- 10 years in the future, a worldwide plague wreaks havoc, people keep yakking about global warming even as an Ice Age sets in, an incompetent Hillary Clinton-type is president, and our hero is fighting his way through the Mideast ... "

" I think this book is a classic. I read this novel while I was in Afghanistan. EVERYTHING they talk about is SO characteristic of the US military and the government. Read this book and think, "Yeah, I could see this happening..." "

" An interesting premise and intriguing factoids marred by excessive unrealistic political wranglings. I must say reading this during a natural disaster was surreal. "

" No aliens in this one... a near-future 'what if' with a fair amount of political/social perspective. Written blog-like from the perspective of a soldier left guarding a pile of military equipment in Iran after the world goes to hell. "

" another one of those "what if" scenarios that I enjoy so much. As always, it's laid out in a way that's believable, characters I enjoy. "

" The importance of a governments reaction to a flu epidemic is going to be incalculable. The 1918 flu and it rapid spread is nothing compared to the potential for an epidemic today. "

" This book ought to piss off all the liberals who read it. I.m sure they'll all down-rate it; too close to the truth. So far, no mention of career politicians or stopping foreign aid. More later when I finish. "

" Cato once again proving himself worthy of his rapid promotion. A gritty tale in the desert surrounding palmyra. This is a great series of books. "

" The book which grabbed me for the whole ancient warfare genre. Captivating story with, while perhaps not always likeable, interesting and deep characters. "

" another great part of the series. "

" i was very annoyed by the non-time period language and slang. honestly, roman soldiers during BC something saying 'sunshine'? it just does not work. overall quite interesting though "

" Alas, I realised that this was part 8 of a big series AFTER I had completed the novel. Well written. "

" mnot a bad read - though the character of Macro annoys me somewhat...the short story about Macro's early life puts the character in better perspective - worth reading that first "

" Scarrow is getting as good as the best - Cornwell that is. "

" Not my favorite historical fiction. The read was fun at times, but too many elements were cliched or lackluster. The book didn't make me really relate with the characters or make me feel like I was in the place. "
