Historia
In The End of Life as We Know It, best-selling author Michael Guillen takes a penetrating look at how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality. The End of Life as We Know It takes us into laboratories and boardrooms where these troubling advances are taking place and asks the question no scientists seem to be asking: What does this mean for the future of humanity?

Not what I expected
Revisado: 04-02-21
A cautionary tale of what the future will hold based on what comes across as religious, conservative, baby boomer POV. I would say that this target audience of baby boomers would probably enjoy this book. It is an opinion piece, not scientific. The author does not hide is bias, which is refreshing but just not what I was looking for. The start of the book is repetitive headlines for about 10 minutes that you may want to fast forward through. It’s like a child trying to stretch a 4 page paper into a 10 page paper for their teacher.

Historia
In The Lost, we'll discover just what it means to lose one's way... It was only meant to be a brief detour. But then Lauren finds herself trapped in a town called Lost on the edge of a desert, filled with things abandoned, broken and thrown away. And when she tries to escape, impassible dust storms and something unexplainable lead her back to Lost again and again. The residents she meets there tell her she's going to have to figure out just what she's missing - and what she's running from - before she can leave.

Good book, not a romantic comedy.
Revisado: 09-10-18
I did enjoy the book and it was well written, and well performed. Audible lists it as a romantic comedy, but it is a drama. Period. Horribly sad and parts, It also leaves you to figure out the ending on your own. I think it would have been much better had I known going in it was going to a heart wrenching drama.

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.

Yo Meatsacks, I need more stars!
Revisado: 11-07-17
The best funny sci-fi series I have read since Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! Skippy the magnificent a-hole is one of my all time favorite characters. The narration is flawless. The story intriguing and funny at the same time. 5 stars are not nearly enough!

Historia
In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn't walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage.

Every TBI survivor/parent of Sufferer should read
Revisado: 06-11-17
Would you listen to The Ghost in My Brain again? Why?
Already have, I'm following the same protocol currently. What I have seen so far has shown me that recovery is possible. My experience throughout my concussion has been horrible and it's been hard to find doctors that weren't just shoving medications down my throat. I've found a doctor trained by Dr. Zelinsky in the Sotheast and I've seen for myself that this program can work for me . I listen now to understand the processes of what my optometrist is doing and to know what to expect next.
Which character – as performed by Arthur Morey – was your favorite?
I related most to Clark's experience, but it was Dr. Zelinsky story that started me on the right path for recovery.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It gave me hope, and showed me that my symptoms are normal. But they aren't in my head. It made me understand what is going on and give me away to seek out the right professional stuff with me .
Any additional comments?
Please recommend this book to anyone suffering from TBI or to the parents of children suffering with TBI.

Historia
For professional cyclists, going faster and winning are, of course, closely related. Yet surprisingly, for many, a desire to go faster is much more important than a desire to win. Someone who wants to go faster will work at the details and take small steps rather than focusing on winning. Winning just happens when you do everything right - it's the doing everything right that's hard. And that's what fascinates and obsesses Michael Hutchinson.

Any additional comments?
Simon Vance was perfect! This book definitely fueled my ongoing quest for speed. Taught me a lot of what I shouldn't be doing as well as what I should be doing. It's peppered with humorous real life accounts and insight into what the biggest teams are doing in their quest for speed.

Historia
In John Scalzi's re-imagining of H. Beam Piper's 1962 sci-fi classic Little Fuzzy, written with the full cooperation of the Piper Estate, Jack Holloway works alone for reasons he doesnt care to talk about. Hundreds of miles from ZaraCorps headquarters on planet, 178 light-years from the corporations headquarters on Earth, Jack is content as an independent contractor, prospecting and surveying at his own pace. As for his past, thats not up for discussion.
