Historia
Environmental devastation and economic chaos have turned America into a land of horrifying depravity. Assault, theft, sexual abuse, slavery, and murder are commonplace. And a zealous, bigoted tyrant has won his way into the White House. Directly opposed is Lauren Olamina, founder of Earthseed - a new faith that teaches "God Is Change". Persecuted for "heathen" beliefs as much as for having a Black female leader, Earthseed's followers face a life-and-death struggle to preserve their vision.

Powerful, dark sequel that stands on its own

timeless
Revisado: 09-24-20
So much truth in science fiction. Especially in 2020. I find it ironic that the president in her novel written in 1998, had a slogan "To make America great again". Nation to the story was wonderful, and I can't imagine another voice giving life to this. I am just now discovering this brilliant either, although I've read science fiction for most of my 62 years.

Historia
The Battle of Serenity Valley was the turning point that led the Independents to their defeat at the hands of the Alliance. Yet the Browncoats had held the valley for weeks against all odds, before being ordered to lay down their arms. Command stated they refused to send in airpower because the ground war was "too hot". But the soldiers who were there insist that was not true.... While picking up a new cargo on Persephone, Captain Malcolm Reynolds is kidnapped by a bunch of embittered veteran Browncoats who suspect him of sabotaging the Independents during the war.

I didn't know that I missed the old series until I started listening. The narrator does an awesome job if bringing the characters to live and actually sounds like you would remember from the series. Throughly enjoyed the listen.

Historia
Captain Mal Reynolds is in a fix. He’d like nothing more than to find honest smuggling work that stays under the Alliance’s radar and keeps the good ship Serenity in the sky. But when an old flame of Jayne Cobb’s sends a desperate plea across the galaxy, his crew has other ideas. On the arid, far-flung world of Thetis, the terrifying Elias Vandal is threatening to overrun the town of Coogan’s Bluff with his trigger-happy army. He wants control of the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin: their water supply.

love this audiobook!
Revisado: 04-26-20
i listened to this audiobook in three days, and probably would have finished it sooner if life would have let me. I love to read, always have, but have recently found the joy of audiobooks.
I enjoyed this audiobook, loved the material, and as usual Stephen King delivers stories that stay with you and make you think.
Great presentation, I thought the readers stuck just the right tone. You know they are good, when you can forget about the reader and just enjoy the story.
I've been a Stephen King constant reader since the 1970s when I discovered " Cujo" through one of those book clubs they had at the time, DoubleDay I think. I almost feel like I've grown up with Stephen King stories. I think I may listen on Audible to all of the Stephen King books I've read through the years, I certainly have time during this pandemic lock down. This was a good listen/read and well worth your time. Highly recommended.

I'm late coming to know Ursula K. Le Guin's work, but I've fast become a fan. Although her work is sometimes classified as for young adults, I can say that her work is absolutely for adults of all ages.

I've read this one and listened twice, it's that good. Although I'm not a fan of any creature smaller than my hands, I could actually feel sympathy for the progenitor. I don't want to give anythung away, so I'll just say, it's very original and has satisfying ending.

Historia
Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.

This is third in a series of three by the author, although all can be enjoyed without necessarily having read, or listened to the others. I enjoyed listening to this very much. The speaker was clear and made the contents easy to understand for the ordinary person. if you want to better understand the world today, and yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend this series.

Historia
With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback - the loss of the Aliens they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the Company has risen to the top of the food chain. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place: the facility known as "The Cold Forge". Remote station RB-232 has become their greatest asset in weaponizing the Xenomorphs. However, when Dorian Sudler is sent to RB-232 to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard - someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests.

Historia
Lisey lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a 25-year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, best-selling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went - a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it’s Lisey’s turn to face Scott’s demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo’ya Moon.

Stephen King captures the marriage language perfectly, and the deep ache of that loss profoundly. Bittersweet.
