To survive the notorious prison IK-2 and assassinate Russian President Vladimir Petrov, John Dempsey had to become rosomakha, the wolverine. Now, back home in America, he’s trying to put the pieces of his life at Ember back together. But which man returned from Russia—Dempsey, or the wolverine? From the way his teammates look at him, it’s obvious they’re not sure, and neither is he. Meanwhile, Vice President Kelso Jarvis has barely had time to mourn the death of his mentor before a devastating attack reveals a new threat.

I’ve been a fan of the Tier One series and re-read the compete set before starting Ember. Ember did not disappoint! Andrews writing and Ray Porter’s narration was excellent. Can’t wait for the next Tier One mission. 👍

Among the autobiographies of great military figures, Ulysses S. Grant’s is certainly one of the finest, and it is arguably the most notable literary achievement of any American president: a lucid, compelling, and brutally honest chronicle of triumph and failure. From his frontier boyhood, to his heroics in battle, to the grinding poverty from which the Civil War ironically rescued him, these memoirs are a mesmerizing, deeply moving account of a brilliant man told with great courage.

A classic!

A masterpiece for anyone interested in the American Civil War. It is like Grant talking you through his actions and rationale for his decisions and POV on various commanders. A great read! Narrator Robin Field was excellent.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

A Gladwell classic
Revisado: 01-18-25
Eye opening and thoughtful discussion by Gladwell, delivered in a podcast-like format - a great approach. Definitely worth listening to. A request for Malcolm: use this material to make two TED Talks - one for college students and the other, more importantly, for police departments across the country. Many would benefit!!!

By January 1968, despite an influx of half a million American troops, the fighting in Vietnam seemed to be at a stalemate. Yet General William Westmoreland, commander of American forces, announced a new phase of the war in which "the end begins to come into view". The North Vietnamese had different ideas. In mid-1967, the leadership in Hanoi had started planning an offensive intended to win the war in a single stroke.

Highly recommended book on a mostly forgotten battle
Revisado: 12-11-24
Mark Bowden details an excellent overview of the Tet offensive, US & Hanoi leadership and most importantly - the street level view of people on the ground on both sides in Hue. Here’s a book that should be a must read for all Americans.

US intelligence is reporting turmoil in the Russian navy. Their deadliest submarine, the Belgorod, has unexpectedly launched, and taken along with it a long list of questions. Who authorized the departure? What mission is it on? And, most disturbing of all, what weapons do the giant doors on the sub’s bow hide? It's been four decades since a similar incident with the Soviet sub, Red October, ended happily, thanks to a young CIA analyst named Jack Ryan.

For a moment Wilson froze and looked at the white-helmeted pilot who sat high on the nose of the colossal fighter. Across the small void, he saw the pilot's eyes peer over his mask. Dark, chilling eyes. Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next.

This book was a detailed account of Roosevelt’s adventure up an uncharted tributary of the Amazon. The author puts you right there beside TR and his son detailing all the amazement and dangers that rain forest could throw up. A great book with great narration.
