Historia
While the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman have been trying to assure that hostile aliens do not have access to Earth, the UN Expeditionary Force has been stranded on the planet they nicknamed "Paradise". The Flying Dutchman is headed back out on another mission, and the UN wants the ship to find out the status of the humans on Paradise. But Colonel Joe Bishop warns that they might not like what they find, and they can't do anything about it without endangering Earth.

I will miss Skippy
Revisado: 06-12-17
Skippy was the best supporting character ever; even better than Wilson the volleyball in Castaway.

Historia
Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

Skippy Still Gets Best Supporting Character
Revisado: 04-03-17
I liked this story, but I think the first book was a little better.
This book followed its plot, but just not as much happened.
I look forward to book 3.

Bad things happen to those with good intentions

I think the Irish accent may be part of why I like the story so much.
Very good narration and story.

Historia
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A senior in high school, he's still secretly preoccupied with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child, set in a magical land called Fillory. Imagine his surprise when he finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the craft of modern sorcery.

I thought it was just ok
Revisado: 02-11-17
All the reviews said it was either a 5 star book or a 2 star book, so I got it.
I wasn't too impressed with the story; I guess I like happily ever after if I am escaping real life.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Only so much that can happen in one setting
Revisado: 01-18-17
The book was ok, but I bet even the author had trouble keeping his interest with so much happening in the same location.
Since I do not fly any more, I was looking forward to the book. I didn't quit flying because I am afraid of flying; I am afraid of crashing.
Even if I did fly, I would never go to an airport and take off my shoes for anyone government leach for any reason. If everyone stopped flying for one week, that policy would be thrown out the door.
Spoiler Alert (don't read this if you plan on listening to the book):
The end where the widow of the deceased person and his mistress being friends is hard enough to believe; them becoming business partners makes the rest of the book lose creditability to me.

I really liked this book. I had to work this weekend and this helped me get through it.
The book was published in 2001 so that explains some of the tech being a little outdated, but the story is timeless.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

I guess he wants to sell more books, but the book ended before I understand what the point is.
I usually never buy books less than 10 hours because a credit is a credit, I will stick with that approach from now on.

Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

I thought had been poor a few times until now
Revisado: 12-30-16
I have to admit I never gave Trevor a chance when he became the host of the Daily Show because I didn't know anything about him.
There were times in my life I had grown up what I thought was poor, and other times we were pretty well off. After listening to this I realize what poor really means.
I am not religious, but what happened to his mom can't be explained with science.

Historia
The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

I guess British humor is funny to Brits, but I sure didn't get it.
I am just glad it is over.
