Historia
As the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, the Pentagon burned, and a small group of passengers fought desperately to stop a third plane from completing its deadly flight plan, America went on war footing. Killing the Killers narrates America's intense global war against extremists who planned and executed not only the 9/11 attacks but hundreds of others in America and around the world, and who eventually destroyed entire nations in their relentless quest for power.

More opinion and less documentary
Revisado: 06-15-23
I’d probably skip wasting a credit on this book. And it has some interesting information on terrorism leaders in, but you could tell early on the author had a serious dislike for Donald Trump. if I had wanted a story that attack Trump, I would’ve saved a credit and turned on CNN.

Historia
The Ghosts of Langley is a provocative and panoramic new history of the Central Intelligence Agency that relates the agency's current predicament to its founding and earlier years, telling the story of the agency through the eyes of key figures in CIA history, including some of its most troubling covert actions around the world. It reveals how the agency, over seven decades, has resisted government accountability, going rogue in a series of highly questionable ventures that reach their apotheosis with secret overseas prisons and torture programs.

Slanted

What would have made The Ghosts of Langley better?
The writer obviously has a politcal lean which presents itself in this documentary style book, turning it into an opinion piece, I prefer those books that tell the complete story and allows me to establish my own opinions. I do not like books that have a political expression as they tend to be a mixture of fsct and fictional opinion.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Sorrow I bought it

Historia
In this important and revealing book, Jamie Bartlett takes us deep into the digital underworld and presents an extraordinary look at the Internet we don't know. Beginning with the rise of the Internet and the conflicts and battles that defined its early years, Bartlett reports on trolls, pornographers, drug dealers, hackers, political extremists, Bitcoin programmers, and vigilantes - and puts a human face on those who have many reasons to stay anonymous.

Capitalizing on a 40 year phenomenon
Revisado: 12-29-17
Would you try another book from Jamie Bartlett and/or Matt Bates?
News media coins the dark web after the rise and take down of the silk road. The dark web is simply web sites that have an unlisted number. Too much devotion to the rise of porn on the internet making me wonder if the author spent most of his time researching. There is a lot more to the Dark Web than the author discussed, or knows about, leaving the book more aptly titled, Dark Web for Dummies.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Matt Bates?

Historia
When Russian President Valeri Volodin's ambitions are foiled in Dagestan, he faces a difficult choice. The oligarchs who support him expect a constant flow of graft, but with energy prices cratering, the Russian economy sputters to a virtual halt. Unable to grow the Russian market at home, his hold on power relies on expansion abroad—a plan that has been thwarted by the United States in the past. But this time Volodin has determined that an indirect approach is the best.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I don't think anyone would enjoy this
What do you think your next listen will be?
Blindside
What didn’t you like about Jay Snyder’s performance?
Jay's fine. It's the story that was lame. Much like the TV series the plot had possibilities but the story failed to deliver

Historia
They were the last great band of the '60s and the first great band of the '70s. They rose, somewhat unpromisingly, from the ashes of the Yardbirds to become one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time - and eventually paid the price for it, with disaster, drug addiction, and death.

Revisado: 10-09-15
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I should have known an authorized biography narrated by Simon Vance could be similar to his TV documentaries, which are terrible. So was this book. Made it to chapter 3 before I dumped the book
What could Mick Wall have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Convinced Jimmy Page to write it!
Would you be willing to try another one of Simon Vance’s performances?
Not in this century

Historia
Chrissie Hynde, the songwriter and front woman of The Pretenders in its various incarnations, has for 35 years been one of the most admired and adored and imitated figures in rock. This long-awaited memoir tells her life story in full and utterly fascinating detail, from her all-American Ohio '50s childhood to her classic baby-boomer seduction by the rock of the '60s to her sojourn in the crucible of punk that was '70s London to her instant emergence with her band, The Pretenders, in 1980 into stardom as a frontwoman and songwriter.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I've seen the Pretenders and I've heard Chrissie speak. How in the world did they choose Rosanna Arquette to read this? Really disconnected me from the story.
Would you be willing to try another one of Rosanna Arquette and Chrissie Hynde ’s performances?
Chrissie yes.. Rosanna no!

Historia
The Op-Center team heads for Spain, where ethnic conflicts threaten to break out into a conflagration. As the novel's intelligence chief Bob Herbert puts it, this clash "will make the Spanish Civil War look like a brawl." The intelligence team's efforts to defuse the crisis are foiled when an Op-Center representative is assassinated in Madrid on her way to a high-level diplomatic meeting. Someone very powerful wants another Spanish War - no matter what the cost. Now the crew must delicately navigate the treacherous shoals of a planned insurrection by a popular Spanish general and his troops.

Must have been a contractual thing
Revisado: 06-15-15
Any additional comments?
This book was way off the mark for a Clancy Op Center genre story. Must have been a contractual deadline book they threw together to meet the obligation to the publisher. Stretch the story to fill the space.... so boring.

Historia
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of 30 million souls, to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.

Would you listen to World War Z again? Why?
Great zombie book. Trailers for the movie look disappointing as there appears to be a lot of screenwriter deviation from the book.
