Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Fascinating, instructive,humorous, entertaining. Incredible book, incredible performance. Andy Weir made science accessible, relevant, and interesting, and provided a fascinating tale seem possible. Highly recommend this book to those open to the inclusion of science in the narrative. Loved the humor wonderfully delivered by Ray Porter!

From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost.

A Literary Masterpiece
Revisado: 05-03-21
I loved reading this book decades ago. And I love the narration by John Keating. He not only has superb accents, but delivers the prose in a manner that captures the brilliant humor and irony that captures Irish life, and underscores the critique of power plays by the British and both Protestant and Catholic clergy. This story is relevant today. The calculated corruption and ruthless subjugation of Irish Catholics by the British and Irish Protestants is echoed in today’s political landscape in America where racism, subjugation of minorities, unparalleled income disparity, social and legal injustice are promoted; and gerrymandering, voter suppression, and dark money attempt to keep a corrupt political minority in wealth and power. There is much to learn from this masterfully written novel not only about Irish history, but also about the behavior of human beings acted out over and over again, as the subjugated vie for their freedom and equality, and the corrupt attempt to hold onto undeserved power.

Reveals incredible insight into his Presidency
Revisado: 02-14-21
President Obama reveals in an accessible, highly intelligent and insightful memoir the trajectory of his initial entry into politics through his first term. He explains the complexity of issues he faced and his thought processes of coming to critical decisions. I came away with even more respect for the man as he faced so many obstacles to achieving his deepest held goals, yet in spite of the challenges, his integrity, courage, and wisdom led him in most cases to the best decision he could make under the circumstances, even if not all stakeholders were satisfied with his decision. His narration gives an even more candid glimpse into the man, and made listening very enjoyable.

In this Audible Original “mini-memoir”, the Academy Award-winning star of Little Miss Sunshine and Argo looks back on his life as a series of philosophical turning points, learning experiences, and a-ha moments. Drawn from a collection of seemingly inexplicable stories and encounters from Arkin's 84 years on this planet, Out of My Mind is a candid, relatable and delightfully irreverent take on how one man went searching for meaning and ended up discovering himself.

The beauty of such a down to earth spiritual memoir
Revisado: 11-26-20
Alan Arkin speaks in straightforward and down to earth prose about his spiritual journey that makes accessible what might be esoteric to some, yet in which others will find kinship in the stages of the process of awakening to higher consciousness. Arkin creates beauty in simplicity, and offers nuggets of wisdom as he describes the insights gained in his spiritual process. There has for me always been something very appealing about Alan Arkin in the work he has done on stage and screen. I experience it as a level of honesty and transparency that is at once humble, but suffers no fools. I highly recommend this gem.

If you could leave your true love one final gift, what would it be? This intense, moment-by-moment chronicle begins with the officer’s words, “She is deceased”. For the next 13 days following the fatal automobile accident of his wife, the author draws on nearly 40 years of study and training with gurus and meditation teachers to discover ecstatic love, save fractured relationships, and glimpse a greater arc and purpose for being alive.

The gift of love is awaiting you
Revisado: 07-05-20
Barron Steffen has written a raw, immensely vulnerable and revealing account of fully surrendering to love. With what begins with a heart-wrenching tragedy and loss, one is carried through Barron’s poetic, metaphorical, and searingly insightful account of his reeling journey to fully grasping the wealth of his loss, learning and embodying what love truly is. The immensity of his love for his wife demands of him the most lovingly ruthless self-examination, accepting nothing less than total surrender. The seemingly dual commitments of his love for his wife and his quest for spiritual liberation are revealed as one inextricably woven singularity. Particularly in this audio version, read with absolute immediacy, vulnerability and love by the author, I was swept up in the riptide of his journey, fully immersed in the ocean of every emotion and insight. In fully surrendering to and embracing his wife, Seana’s, gift of unbound love, Barron becomes that love, and in this book, shares that love freely with all who read or listen to it. I experienced this book as an ultimate tribute to Seana, her love and life purpose, and a testament to the unparalleled value of uncompromising spiritual practice and application, without which Barron may not have been able to transform a tragedy into a song of immense and beautiful love. This is a book that should not be missed. It is truly a gift of love meant for all of us. Regardless of degree of loss one may have or be experiencing, this book will shine a light on the path onward. I am immensely grateful to Barron and Seana for this gift. Listening to this reading was a transformative experience.
