Review: Sons of War 3: Sinners by Nicholas Sansbury Smith, read by Ray Porter
Sinners is the third book in the superbly written Sons of War series of post-apocalyptic action thrillers by best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith. After the emotionally devastating ending of the second book, Saints, Sinners picks up with a team of brave soldiers trying to stand up for the people of Los Angeles in a post-American second Civil War. Saints have to punish the sinners and to do that they must sin themselves. In this third entry we meet again favorite characters like Dominic, Moose and the ruthless Don Antonio Moretti.
Nicholas Sansbury Smith dedicates this book to award-winning and best-selling author Don Winslow and to his, or should I say, their fantastic narrator, Ray Porter. I dare to say that Mr. Sansbury Smith is on par with Don Winslow at this time and after three of his books, I am completely hooked on the story and hopelessly in love with all these flawed, but remarkable characters that he created for this series.
My love for the Sons of War series is clearly influenced in part by the absolutely outstanding performance delivered throughout the story by audiobooks industry legend Ray Porter. I actually can’t think of anyone else who could have pulled this off in a better way. Ray is a master at narration, he reads at a fast pace, he acts all the dialogues and he elevates the listening experience to the highest possible level with his talent for infusing the action with urgency and emotion.
Right now, Mr. Sansbury Smith is quickly climbing to my top spots of favorite authors out there. His writing is flawless, his characters feel alive and real and the events depicted in his stories are keeping my blood pressure up almost all the time. If you like action thrillers with a touch of post-apocalyptic drama stirred into them, you cannot miss out on the Sons of War series! Fans of Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, The Last Don or Don Winslow’s The Cartel trilogy will discover a new favorite author in Mr. Sansbury Smith.
