One is a loner learning to love. Another has a complete disregard for tactics and rushes into things. The third is so focused on gaining power, that they will for inevitable betray the team. Lastly, she is some who knows all the things, but will eventually "burn-out" or almost will

The author is fantastic about in his presentation. The separation of the book sections really tell a complete story of the Northmen. You start in the more mythological and guess work based on the little bit of artifacts that have been collected, but it quickly moves on to their time as raiders

Where you lose me is this constant "There have been people hunting me" including a pig, for generations. Yet somehow, "B" doesn't see the same signs he has seen for years? He is supposed to not forget things, but I have to give him so grace since he has 80,000 years of history in his brain.

I know next to nothing about him other than he is from Austria, was a bodybuilder before an actor, and as an actor did a lot of actions movies. Oh yeah, he was also Governor of California at some point while I lived there, I think.

This book is well written, but full of things that do not fit a spy story. There isn't even a spy in it, which really is frustrating when the description on the book is "espionage." There is an anarchist who commandeers the story even being a single threaded and dumbly written character.

What I really found interesting was conversation about the legality of planning said assassinations. Between the code of military ethics, A.K.A. the Liber Code, and NATO's Article 51, the idea of self-defense, there is a lot of weird wiggle room that the CIA and DoD operated in.

when you have 20+ stories talking about this with only 10 minutes of each story being about the event, it just feels like noise. You add in the fact that there is zero presentation of the group, the why, or even what they did. So I don't have context as to why all of this matters.

I think we have entered the era of these books hitting their formula. While the book is entertaining, and I have no real issues with the book, I found that some relationships made no sense and others made perfect sense. The story does make it sound like the FBI and the Secret Service are useless

This book really felt like a friend telling a story. There is this friendly demeener as if he is trying to tell you his story, without the total preacher mentality that could have happened. I also recognize during my time in the Marines, that leaving your home town and actually interacting...

This book was fun and an easy read. The action is well told, which is what I want from these books, but there seems to be a sprint through in the book. There are some good actions points and intelligence actions, but the side plots do not link up to the main story like the other books typically do.

The story of the court-martial is absolutely infuriating. The amount of CYA that took place at the upper echelons of the Navy, to be forced on the next generations of Naval Leadership is even more crazy. I do not understand how someone who has no skin in the game can't make another decision

I cannot truly express how impressed I am with the description of the Submarines, their capabilities, the function, and life on the sub. I’ve always been interested in subs and after watching videos like this one from _Smarter Every Day and U-571 it is incredible the technology created for subs.
