Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 1,202
With its thunderous assault on the Mariana Islands in June 1944, the United States crossed the threshold of total war. In this tour de force of dramatic storytelling, distilled from extensive research in newly discovered primary sources, James D. Hornfischer brings to life the campaign that was the fulcrum of the drive to compel Tokyo to surrender—and that forever changed the art of modern war.

A detailed, and engrossing, historical account
Revisado: 10-30-24
Like with his other books, this tells the story from all sides: American, Japanese, military, civilian. nor does he whitewash anything. And he continues the stories of many of the main characters through their lives after the war as well.

Mercy Thompson is a shapeshifter, and while she was raised by werewolves, she can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. So she’s turned her talent for fixing cars into a business and now runs a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State.

I lived listening to this rendition of Moon Called. I do hope they continue with the rest of the Mercy series, and the Alpha and Omega one too!

Such a difference from the movies
Revisado: 02-07-24
It has been far too long since I read these books. I had forgotten much, and feel many of the main characters come across so much better here Tham in the movies. That is not to say these are better, just rhat they approach the story differently. I love them both.

The hottest military science-fiction series of all time continues. The mission: to boldly explore David Weber’s Honorverse; to deliver all the action, courage, derring-do, and pulse-pounding excitement of space naval adventure with tales set in a world touched by the greatness of one epic heroine—Honor Harrington.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Amazing story
Revisado: 01-12-24
Feels all too real, given the recent covid outbreak. Never a dull moment with Steven. Despite how much I likes the miniseries, this was just as good overall. Somethings I preferred in the book, much more background material. Somethings I liked better in the show

I love the story as well, but I am disappointed that this book followed the movie in dropping the details of Peter's rise to power from the original book

Not a very good story

A freelance private investigator, Jennifer tracks down stolen Native American artifacts.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 204
There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

An excellent story, and superb characters
Revisado: 08-19-23
The story had some excellent twists, and played well with time travel. As I expect from David, all of the characters were well developed, even those with short life expectancies.
