Great story

I was pleasantly surprised by the stories tightness. Sometimes I didn't know why there were scenes in the book until the end. I liked it very much.

Historia
For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.

Another Great Book about Geopolitics
Revisado: 06-15-22
This is another great book by Peter Zeihan. I have read his past 3 and this one is by far the best. The narrator in particular is the best of the 4 books. He really seems to understand the material. Peter Zeihan has been making the geopolitical landscape of the past 80 years understandable and easy to comprehend. His insights into geography and demographics give clarity on how events unfold throughout the world.
In his previous books, he predicted the Ukrainian war with down to the year. His explanations make more sense than anything you will find on cable news shows or online news sites.
He has a no bias (unless you think the USA) take on how the world works. There is no political spin or ideology. Just the facts and data.
I can't wait to see what he writes next.

Historia
Profanity has always been a deliciously vibrant part of our lexicon, an integral part of being human. In fact, our ability to curse comes from a different part of the brain than other parts of speech - the urgency with which we say "f--k!" is instead related to the instinct that tells us to flee from danger. Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. Nine Nasty Words is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle: historical, sociological, political, linguistic.

Revisado: 05-10-21
John McWhorter is a brilliant and funny author. I have enjoyed his works on language for some time. This book is as informative and interesting as any etymological study that I have read. You will not only learn the origin of common curse words but cultural connotation and denotations as well.

Historia
Former soldier and elite CIA operative Ryan Drake is heading out for dinner when he witnesses a sniper attack on a crowded freeway. A motorcade full of Russian Federal Security Force members has been ambushed. Many have been killed and, worst of all, Drake discovers that the leader of the strike team was Anya - the dangerous and enigmatic woman he once risked everything to protect. Drake cannot believe her capable of such an atrocity, but with the Russians baying for blood and tensions rising, Drake and his depleted team head for Siberia to discover the truth.

Excellent 3rd installment of the Ryan Drake series
Revisado: 12-21-20
Will Jordan is coming into his own on this book. The characters are really rounded out here. I enjoyed the plot and story. The narrator's is very good aside from the English interpretation of local terms like the 3 9 5, instead of saying three ninety five as we do in the DC area. But I believe that is in character for an English protagonist.
This book sets up the 4th coming book nicely and I look forward to listening to it soon.

Historia
Toymaker Isaac Bodkins created the Oddkins, a group of living toys, for very special children who face difficulties in life and need true friends. There's Amos, the brave stuffed bear; Skippy, the rabbit who dreams of being a superstar; Butterscotch, the gentle, floppy-eared pup; Burl the elephant; the wise and scholarly Gibbons; and Patch the cat. The Oddkins are given to children to inspire, support, and love them, especially during times of adversity. Only now, the toys themselves are the ones who need help.

Not one of his better works
Revisado: 12-13-20
I usually love Dean Koontz work. But this one was ok. It's amazing the difference between this story and ones he wrote just a few years later. It's pretty predictable and didn't really catch my attention. You may have a different perspective. Probably a preteen book.

Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found. Once a British soldier, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner, code-named Maras, and bring her back onto US soil within 48 hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before. Hunted by his former comrades, Drake is left with no choice but to trust a dangerous woman he barely knows.

Not a bad story for a first book. Looking forward to the rest of series.
The plot is solid and the narrator's performance is spot on. You will enjoy this adventure. If you have some time I recommend Redemption.

Not really about the Sith
Revisado: 08-07-20
This book is full of characters that I have never heard of and do not care about. Lord Vader and The Emperor were not the main focus of the story. I was very disappointed in that. Not much about the Sith was explained. Most of the action sequences were contrived and lacked credibility. Not that good of a story.

Historia
As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is one of the few White House memoirs to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

The detailed insight of the first 4 years of the Trump administration is incredible. John Bolton shows the inner workings of the the Trump White House like no other. It's like seeing the other side of the coin

Historia
In the 1980s, Toyota revolutionized manufacturing with its application of the lean production philosophy. Today, DevOps seeks to apply the principles of lean manufacturing to the technology industry. To do so, DevOps unites the two traditionally clashing bodies of the corporate IT department: development and operations. In traditional IT departments, the development group builds products and then hands them off to operations to launch them and keep them up and running.

This summary was vague on specifics. Good overview for C level personnel or as an introduction. Not something for technical people wanting to implement DevOps.
