Historia
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Historia
A cannon. A strap. Or, you can call it a gun. That's what 15-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That's where Will's now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother's gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he's after. Or does he?

In line with my experience
Revisado: 04-18-24
I was a Navy nuke for a little over 20 years, all of them after Admiral Rickover's death, hence after the Coldwar had been won, and I can say that much of what is detailed here was still true of how the program was being run when I left.

Historia
Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.

The perfect book for me
Revisado: 09-14-23
I love this book so much... if I could afford to set up a foundation to buy this book for anyone who wanted a copy I would. As a free thinking atheist I certainly don't agree with every sentence in this book, but being able to disagree with even one is important.
Thank you Greta. We each evolve in to godlessness in our own way, and this was not the one thing that convinced me... reading the Bible 40 years ago started me on that journey. It took about 5 years, mostly college, and many OTHER religious texts to realize it was ALL hogwash. Then it took me another 10 years for me to even come out to my closest nonreligious friends...
Thank you, Greta for this final summation of so many true things and why we should not believe or support the untrue. I will buy many copies to keep in my bookshelf and when someone asks me 'Why so many copies? ' I'll say 'Like so many other books I've enjoyed I want to be able to share this with those who show interest. Please take a copy of you are interested.'
1984, Enders Game, The Social Contract, Stranger in a Strange Land, Brave New World... these are the books I rate this with...

The main character is a female. Why wouldn't you have a female narrator?
Overall plot and characters were about as bland as could be imagined.

It's an great book and great narration, but all of the background effects and noises just wind up being annoying... I wish I could turn them off.

Excellent story and narrator
Revisado: 04-19-23
I can find little fault with this story... although it did bother me when she left the farm planet and returned to the P[F?]ardees ... there seemed in consistency in the storyline. Perhaps the author needed some time to figure their direction after the farmers didn't follow directions...
