About this listen
November 30, 1939 - invaded by the Soviet Union, Finland must mount a desperate defense against overwhelming odds.
Outnumbered and outclassed, the world expected the tiny Nordic nation to quickly succumb to the communist juggernaut. Instead, the saga of David versus Goliath was reimagined into Finnish farmers and woodsmen standing firm against Soviet steel.
This is the story of Hale’s war, a young man who grew up farming and hunting the frozen forest of his northern home. Taught from a young age by his father to hunt and trap, Hale has grown into a master woodsman. Not yet 18 summers in age, he is most at home in the wilderness. Utilizing his gifts, especially his uncanny aim with a rifle, he has helped put food on the table and to earn a living by selling valuable pelts.
When invasion threatened, he put his growing love for Nea on hold and answered his nation’s desperate call to stem the Soviet hordes. Now alone in Finland’s vast southern forest, his skills are being tested against prey of a different kind. Will his abilities and the rifle his father gave him be enough against the countless numbers, tanks, and aircraft of the Soviet Union?

It didn’t have the authenticity to support the story.
A Finnish father who introduced me to the period and the equipment, meant every time the author mentioned changing magazines on the M28 annoyed me. You also don’t click the safety off with your thumb.
There’s lots of little things like that which didn’t fit.
I’m not sure if it’s the narrators accent, or the writing, but it didn’t sound Finnish to me either, it’s a reasonable bit of wartime fiction placed in Finland, but I couldn’t recognise the Finn in the characters.
If you don’t know much about the place it will be ok but it kept breaking my immersion in the story and I couldn’t enjoy it.
