Historia
It was 1953, the Korean War in full throttle, when two men—already experts in their fields—crossed the fabled 38th Parallel into Communist airspace aboard matching Panther jets. John Glenn was an ambitious operations officer with fifty-nine World War II combat missions under his belt. His wingman was Ted Williams, the two-time American League Triple Crown winner who, at the pinnacle of his career, was inexplicably recalled to active service in the United States Marine Corps. Together, the affable flier and the tempestuous left fielder soared into North Korea, creating a death-defying bond.

Great insight into the men's accomplishments and friendships
Revisado: 05-08-24
The author captures how fate helped forge a friendship from a combat tour. Both of these men were titans in their fields and the book touches on most of their accomplishments and allows readers to learn a little of their motivations and struggles. Well worth the credit!

The story really picks up at the end but misses some of the original Mitch story.

Loved the ending but the story is written with enough twists and turns to keep my interest. The narrator does a brilliant job and is a perfect fit for the story.

Historia
For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

Historia
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

Revisado: 03-06-23
There were a few parts where the author made the story more about his research prowess and gave a lot of excuses why he drug his feet in writing but the finished product makes you ask a lot of questions, which was the point of listening in the first place. This story was referred to me by a caregiver and I am glad he did. It does not portray anyone as innocent or justifies the horrendous acts of the Manson family but cast doubt that some of the law enforcement and government entities should have come out with clean hands.

Another solid story about Cain
Revisado: 02-28-23
Enjoyed this short listen, a good bit of mystery as to the initial discovery and love how Cain hides his human emotions under the guise of his troop welfare. In the Grim Dark one has to wonder how many do the same even in positions where dire hard devotion is required.

Satisfying end to Garro’s story. Good combination of previous plot points as well as moving forward. Very good listen. Being the eternal outsider Garro always intrigued me and this ending does him justice.

Serge Storms is the perfect anti hero
Revisado: 02-19-23
I will not say this book is for everyone. It appeals to some dark humor and the hero of the series issues justice without following any laws. Like I said there is no morality bound hero and most people who serge do not like or worse does wrong by someone who he does dies, usually in a clever way.
There will be a happy ending but you may not like how it gets there. However the ride is always worth it.

Revisado: 02-01-23
Love the way the information is presented with the scientific studies to back up the history of weight loss. I feel that is important to justify why Dr. Fund’s strategy works. Good listen but the last 1.5 hours is where you get the actual diet advice. The rest is a history of the diet journey and may give insight as to why different methods eventually fail.
