The Aftermath of a stunning victory—especially an unexpected, complete, and final victory—should be high-fives all around, listening to politicians give boring congratulatory speeches, and a well-deserved rest for the Merry Band of Pirates. Yes, the galaxy is still a freakin' mess, but that is nothing new, and for a change, that can be someone else's problem. Until, you know, something really bad happens, and only the Pirates can deal with the problem... Or not.

A Large complex topic broken down so well!
Revisado: 10-13-21
Topics like urban and transportation design are extremely complex, but Chuck breaks it down into easily understood segments for professionals and non-professionals alike. This is no small feat and deserves recognition for making this topic accessible to the masses.
I found his points refreshingly absent of enflaming rhetoric and stayed on point with his thesis. While that may sound sterile, it makes the logic argument more objective and fare to his points and sparked more interest. I did not however think Christopher Douyard was the appropriate choice for narration. His performance took the subject matter over the edge from "serious thoughtful thesis" into "dry scientific paper" territory. Chuck's writing has reflections of his character that were not present as a result.
Despite this, the book is an excellent follow up to his first book and definitely worth a read. I have yet to find a better and more comprehensive argument addressing the issues plaguing our public spaces. The points are logical and the potential impacts are all encompassing. I hope you'll read this as well and allow some humble reflection on the built environments around your slice of America.

“Are you happy with your life?” Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the kidnapper knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man he’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.” In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife.

Could have been so much more
Revisado: 12-07-17
The book was by no means bad, just very mediocre. There was so much potential for the subject and characters, but we got so very little from either. I found it difficult to emphasize or relate to Jason or his family as they were so blah. The narrator has a good voice but again doesn't elevate anything to a higher level.

This is one of the best scifi series I have read
Revisado: 10-18-17
This might be one of my favorite scifi series I have ever read. Wonderful characters, captivating world setting, and a story that manages to take a common concept and deliver an uncommon experience. I have only the highest praise.
