It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

Dull story

Dull story but performed well. I was expecting more pointy story line on how things shaped up to be leading to Songs of Ice and Fire series.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

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.

Must listen
Revisado: 05-26-21
Exactly what you would expect from an Andy Weir . Space fairing, sci-fi, space travel including totally unexpected, unwilling and hesitant hero. Ray Porter is also great in narrating the story. At times he sounds like Tom Hanks and thats a great thing. Question is when will this be made in to a movie so we can do compare and contrast with this audio book .

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Interesting narrative
Revisado: 09-21-19
Good story line with interesting characters. Ending was a bit weak in my humble opinion. It could have been a bit more exciting. Overall a good and fun listen full of useful insights (both facts and fictions) to keep the reader - or listener in this case - engaged until the very end .

Grounded in reality yet connected with fiction
Revisado: 11-05-18
Great story told even more beautifully. The Map of Salt and Stars looks at unfortunate ground reality for people having leave everything behind in the face of war. This story if very nicely told and once you start listening it is hard to stop.

What a difference a narrator makes

Inspector Hola definitely captured attention
Revisado: 12-19-17
Believable crime fiction. It was my first Nesbø book so definitely liked protagonist Harry Hola. I felt over all on few occasions there was way too much focus on explaining the environment rather than progressing the story. Otherwise would recommend this to anyone and interested in crime fiction.
