Historia
Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry. But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater.

best treatment of time travel I've experienced
Revisado: 01-12-24
I greatly enjoyed the story and the author did a fantastic job incorporating known science into a plausible future. I typically don't enjoy stories that use time travel as it's difficult to appreciate any tension when characters can simply undo everything and most limitations or rules placed on time travel feel as hoc and shoe horned in to make the story work. this author has done a lot of work justifying the limits of time travel in his world. I especially liked the afterwords at the end of each book in this series wherein the author reveals how well the science in his story aligns with current understanding and which elements were fabricated. this is an element I hope other authors of science fiction emulate.

Historia
As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

science, stories, and lessons all braided together
Revisado: 12-04-23
while this title is certainly not my normal fair, I'm glad to have explored it. I loved the weaving together of Western science, indigenous peoples stories, myths,and lessons, with new lessons for our modern world. I had fully expected the author to end her book by saying something along the lines of as a human her gifts are words and so this book is her meeting her responsibility to share her gifts with the world, but that I thought that and expected it means she succeeded in articulating that idea without having to bluntly say it. Well done.

Historia
This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

little confusing at times, but worth the effort
Revisado: 04-29-23
I enjoyed the story, but was fairly confused regarding which point of view the story was being told from. I suspect this was intentional, but resulted in some frustration until I got things a little more straightened out in my head.

Historia
Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war.

I've yet to be disappointed in anything from Sanderson. while initially surprised to find a science fiction offering from him. I hope he dives deeper into this genre.

Historia
Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

excellent illumination of a piece of history that.
Revisado: 08-30-22
Wow. while these events occurred during my lifetime, I was completely ignorant of it. I'm sure there are more pieces of this frightful puzzle, but before this podcast I didn't even know there was a puzzle. we'll done! it makes me wonder what other tragedies have been suppressed.

Historia
Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Revisado: 07-04-21
I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I'd seen the movie and so I knew the general storyline not that it isn't hard to guess from the setup but the details and execution are what make it great. Wesley Crusher's performance was superb.
