Historia
Destry's life is dedicated to terraforming Sask-E. As part of the Environmental Rescue Team, she cares for the planet and its burgeoning eco-systems as her parents and their parents did before her. But the bright, clean future they're building comes under threat when Destry discovers a city full of people that shouldn’t exist, hidden inside a massive volcano. As she uncovers more about their past, Destry begins to question the mission she's devoted her life to, and must make a choice that will reverberate through Sask-E's future for generations to come.

A solid 3/5. 1st third good the rest boring
Revisado: 10-04-23
The premise of the book is great, the world building and characters are interesting and plausible within the parameters of the story, the socioeconomic and political commentary is good. The book gets boring after the first third. It should have ended with Destry's story. It was really hard to finish after that. Also, the ending is anti climactic and reads as lazy writing. Finally, I am not interested in interspecies sex scenes. If I was I would read alien porn or similar.

Historia
In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion.

Worth several listens

There is so much hype about Theranos that I didn't quite know what to expect about the book. It was surprisingly objective and enjoyable.

Historia
In September 2007, Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced her to marry her first cousin at age 14. This harrowing account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths to which Jeffs went in order to control the sect's women. Now, in this courageous memoir, Wall tells the incredible story of how she emerged from the confines of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints and helped bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.

Historia
On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night...and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: in the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

The accent of the narrator is horrific
Revisado: 08-18-21
I love agent Pendergast books and I've been looking forward to this one for months! but the accents are so horrendous that is hard to listen to. Instead of going for fake southern accent go for neutral accented English. if I could I'd give ZERO stars!
***
Spoilers: I did finished the book and I guess they had to get rid of Constance, that's why the story is about a time machine....An insect from the future is pretty weak and unoriginal though an actual Savannah vampire is some shape or form would have been better.

For Franny, the end of everything is just the beginning of her adventure. The world as we know it is no more. Cities are mobile. Electricity is rare. Reading is a relic of the past. After an explosive encounter with a mysterious stranger, Franny, a 14-year-old orphan girl, embarks on an epic quest to find the mysterious pilots who steer the cities, hoping that if she finds them, she will get answers about her family's past - and the world's future.

An allegory of modern life
Revisado: 07-27-21
An allegory of modern life and blind belief for the detriment of humanity. Material greed transformed into mainstream religion (Christianity anyone?). A religion that absorbs your very soul and feeds on your body. Control of the masses through ignorance and division. The self purpose and selfishness of the very few at the top, whose venom persists after they are gone.

Historia
The man on the moon was dead. They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair, and fairly long nostrils. His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn’t know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was 50 thousand years old - and that meant this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed.

Boring

Started really good, I was hooked right from the start. Unfortunately I couldn't get passed Chapter 2 since the story was criminally boring.

Historia
Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood this was just allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. Indeed, how could the Ship move, since its miles and miles of metal corridors were all there was of creation? Science knew that the Ship was all the universe, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lights would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator's Plan would be fulfilled.

Good but chauvinistic
Revisado: 07-16-21
The only drawback is the portrayal of the few, nameless, female characters as screaming apes with less brains than amoebas. For that, why put in female characters at all?

Cool but boring

Cool idea. Boring story, and what's with the alternative curse words? Not engaging and not sympathetic characters.

Historia
It is 1872, and a series of gruesome murders is the talk of London. Mycroft Holmes - now 26 and a force to be reckoned with at the War Office - has no interest in the killings; however his brother Sherlock has developed a distasteful fascination for the macabre to the detriment of his studies, much to Mycroft's frustration. When a ship carrying cargo belonging to Mycroft's best friend Cyrus Douglas runs aground, Mycroft persuades Sherlock to serve as a tutor at the orphanage that Douglas runs as a charity, so that Douglas might travel to see what can be salvaged.

I liked the story and I recommend it. The narrator has an accent and it makes it difficult to listen to it.
