From a Nomad

Revisado: 02-21-19

Although this book tends to focus on those forced into a nomadic lifestyle by financial hardships and my story is much different as I had no real worried is my static life as my home and car were both paid off in full. I can relate with these stories because at heart I have and will always be a nomad. While yes as many of the people in the book are introverts, as am I, we are all searching for happiness in our lives. As I can relate to the stories of wanting to be alone at times I also have that desire to be around like minded people. Which this book does a great job of showing.

This book is not a collection of sob stories none of these people want you to feel sorry for them, but however a collection of survival stories. Living a nomadic lifestyle is by no means easy, but for those of us who choose to continue living the lifestyle it is truly the freest form of living there is. I have never experienced stealth camping as well I live in a 39 foot RV with a 12 foot trailer behind it so stealth isn’t really an option for me. I do understand the fear of getting the dreaded knock when pulled over for a night at a truck stop or rest area.

As for calling us homeless, that we are not we go home every night and sleep in our beds, cook on our stoves, for those of us lucky enough to have the shower in our own showers. The only difference from us and those in static home is ours has wheels. For the most part we all still contribute to society we travel from job to job much like a long haul trucker. The only difference is that our jobs only last 3-5 months on average then we move to the next one. So next time you all see one of us out there at a Walmart or anywhere else for that matter stop and say hi, we wont ask for money as a matter of fact you may get a good story of your own to tell.

Great developing

Revisado: 06-24-13

Where does Deserter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a good Science-fiction story. Great concepts and an innovative look at the future and keeps planetary fighting in the forefront.

What other book might you compare Deserter to and why?

Interplanetary fighting I would compare it to The Lost Fleet Series, but because not many people scifi books take planetary combat into account there are not real comparisons to make.

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

She does a good job with character voices and narration.

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

The explanations of inter force communication and feelings make me relive my military days.

Any additional comments?

Although the first book is mainly history of Kris Longknife's life and family it's worth giving the second book a listen as the story of Kris's life and future come into play. You finally start to figure out how the title "Those Damn Longknife's" comes about.

Slow Story Line

Revisado: 12-11-12

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The story was very slow to develop for a book about a solider there is far to much politics for a low level officer.

If you’ve listened to books by Mike Shepherd before, how does this one compare?

First Shepard book

What about Dina Pearlman’s performance did you like?

Good inflection

Was Mutineer worth the listening time?

Once the story developed yes but it takes 3-4 hours for that to take place
