Sky Masters

Written by Dale Brown

Narrated by Joseph Campanella

A confrontation between the U.S and China threatens to erupt into all-out war. As the U.S. withdraws from the Philippines, China slips in to fill the power vacuum and lays claim to tiny, uninhabitable oil-rich islands in the South China Sea. The Philippines also claim the islands, so China's navy decimates a Philippine drilling platform when its occupants refuse to knuckle under. A shooting war ensues, bringing America into the fray. The U.S. Air Force counterattacks with specially equipped B-52s, B-1s, and B-2 Stealth bombers. Lieutenant Colonel Patrick "Mac" McLanahan of the original "Old Dog" flight crew plays a key role in the action-packed, harrowing operation.

Reviews for Sky Masters

Good book but read badly. The accents and voices put on by the reader detract from the overall experience and made it hard to listen to.

[Jordan Taylor · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This is the first Scribd audiobook that I have genuinely not enjoyed listening to. Both the reader and the book. The readers accents were distracting and even obnoxious at times. He should have read the entire book in his narration voice, it would’ve been far better.

Editing wise, there are major paragraph and even chapter breaks that sound like they were just the next sentence. This made following what was happening quite difficult.

The book itself had very odd pacing. Bouncing back and forth between places and characters without any background at all.

For me, just overall poorly executed.
