Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it's not. Rather, it's the apex of a certain thought process—a way to imagine the unimaginable and solve the unsolvable. It's the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his giant leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel millions of miles through outer space and land on a precise spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets.

Good but technically flawed
Revisado: 02-17-21
This audio book is well written and has enough useful information to keep a dozen projects on their toes. However, it has one annoying flaw. Mr. Varol has the habit of finishing many of his sentences at a lower volume than what he began at. It's as if he turns his head away from the mike when he comes to a period. I found I had to continually pause and rewind to catch the gist of the sentence end. Audible should have used a professional reader, instead of relying on the author.

Elle Stowell is a young woman with an unconventional profession: burglary. But Elle is no petty thief - with just the right combination of smarts, looks, and skills, she can easily stroll through ritzy Bel Air neighborhoods and pick out the perfect home for plucking the most valuable items. This is how Elle has always gotten by - she is good at it, and she thrives on the thrill. But after stumbling upon a grisly triple homicide while stealing from the home of a wealthy art dealer, Elle discovers she is no longer the only one sneaking around. Somebody is searching for her.

The heroine is almost a comic step character. The story is also a comic strip.

Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man—a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

Did I just listen to The Bourne Identity?
Revisado: 01-14-18
It’s the 21st century Perils of Pauline. A one dimensional hero confronted by a freight train full of hired killers at every turn. Impossible situations leading to a series of injuries that would cause the death of a real person. But the Grey Man just keeps on ticking with knife wounds, multiple gunshot wounds, broken ribs and with an assortment of weapons enough to outfit a small guerrilla army at every turn. And for those readers who are into descriptions of real pain this book is for you.

The real Joe DiMaggio, remembered by the man who knew him best in the last decade of his life - candid and little-known stories about icons from Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, and his Yankees teammates on the field to Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and other great celebrities off the field.

Any additional comments?
Unless you are a baseball fanatic, a devoted Yankee fan, or someone who gushes over wall to wall celeb gossip, this book can be a long read. The principal is shown to be an uncaring tyrant toward the author and people around him. The author is so full of his unexpected role as DiMaggio's Boswell that he let's himself be humiliated time and again with just the slightest resistance. There's plenty of baseball lore, and juicy gossip about Marilyn Monroe, Sinatra, the Kennedys and a raft of politicos. But it gets tiring after a while.
