A good book, but

I read this book many years ago and enjoyed it a lot. The audio version, not so much. The narration is excellent and I listened to six and a half hours before deciding that it moved too slow (I still had 40 hours to go). A big part of the problem was that they played "dramatic" music at every pause in the story or scene change and the music seemed to go on forever.

This audiobook changes everything, it is awesome listening

I am a big audiobook listener but the Battlefield audiobook definitely is a game changer, it puts you right in the actions. The characters are so real, the sound effects surround you. Someone said it is a "movie inside your mind" well that's what I got. I lost sleep listening to this. Highly recommended.

Author Bio: L. Ron Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), with nineteen New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, was among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of the twentieth century. As a leading light of American pulp fiction through the 1930s and 1940s, he was further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to him.
