For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

Weird and Irritating
Revisado: 10-14-22
The first book is awful. I’ll just say that. The second is probably the best but even it is mediocre and has the same issues, and the third is somewhere in the middle.

A god has died, and it’s up to Tara, a first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethras, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring him back to life before his city falls apart. Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. Without him, the metropolis’ steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot. Tara’s job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in.

Worst narration I have ever heard

I can’t even properly review the story. Everything is read without emotion, it’s like an instructional video on MS Excel.

With magic declassified in the UK, the fake psychics and fraudulent healers are running amok, and it's up to the Department of Extradimensional Affairs' newly appointed Skepticism Officers to crack down. But when they set their sights on Modern Miracle, a highly suspicious and fast-growing faith healing cult with remarkably good social media presence, even their skepticism is put to the test.

More!
I enjoyed this a lot, my biggest complaint is that it is the last work by the author who I hope writes faster.

Incredible production value for a weird story
Revisado: 10-24-17
The story is weird. It feels very 1940s and (without spoilers) the main character is a MASSIVE Mary Sue.
As I mentioned, it does feel very 40s, and where 40s pieces would usually push traditional morality, Hubbard pushes his weird pseudo-science morality. So it's not impossible to get into, there are a fair bit of moments that'll leave you going- "Wait, what the heck!?"
A lot of it is just the author's opinion on literally everything from history to philosophy to war to art to science to architecture. And some of the sci-fi is pretty interesting, and some is pretty weird.
But the HUGE cast really sends it home, some of the acting is so-so, but the sheer volume of it, makes it really come alive. I'd say averaging out the good, the bad, and the weird- it's not bad.

You Are a Badass at Making Money is a refreshingly frank and entertaining step-by-step guide to overcoming the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success out of reach and to giving yourself the permission to make the kind of money you've never made before.

Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah.

Don't do this to yourself.
Revisado: 05-24-16
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Misogynists, swingers, people who like awful smug characters.
What three words best describe Christopher Hurt’s performance?
Eh, he was okay. He had some vocal fry, but nothing that would have killed a book that was actually good.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No. Well, the first hour of it *seemed* like it would have some kind of plot. So if you want to listen to just that and then just make the rest up on your own, you'll be happier.
Any additional comments?
No, I've spent enough time on this(and I use the term loosely) book.
The author literally writes himself into the story as Hugh Hefner mixed with Tony Stark as the world's creepiest Mary Sue. The whole thing is the self-important swinger's communist manifesto with a THIN layer of plot casually sprayed on top.
