Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

Quirky Historic Sci-fi
Revisado: 04-06-25
Filled with both rye humor, physics, and math puzzles, this book is one of the foundations of all current sci-fi thrillers. If you love The Expanse, Star Wars, Star Trek or the like, this is a must listen!

After Task Force Ember’s successful intervention in Ukraine, John Dempsey disappears without a trace—with no notice or explanation given to his teammates. Spotty intelligence eventually places him in Russia where he is rumored to have been captured by the Russian FSB and is now presumed dead. Mourning his loss, Ember is forced to pick up the pieces, restructure, and continue their mission of keeping America safe. As the president’s “go-to” black ops asset, Ember is directed to find and finish off the Russian spymaster Arkady Zhukov and any last remnants of Zeta cell.

Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

Much better than the first
Revisado: 03-26-25
Good continuance of the story with less wokeness. The author still can’t help to reference God and biblical history while strangely holding to his atheism. Sticks more to the sci-fi and interstellar political intrigue.

New religious movements aren’t earthquakes - they’re not generated by blind natural forces, and they’re not inevitable. Social and spiritual change requires a catalyst to set it in motion. And in the case of Islam, that catalyst has a name: Muhammad. He was a charismatic individual, born of the existing culture of sixth-century Arabia and yet somehow alienated from it. He drew on existing religious ideas in radically new ways that would change his world - and ours - forever. Join Maria Dakake of George Mason University for a riveting exploration of Islam’s founding prophet.

Lacking moral clarity and historical fact
Revisado: 02-19-25
Although an easy listen, unfortunately the author fails to truthfully characterize the subject or his religion. She instead is critical of the critics, mysteriously exonerates his/its treatment of women, and lacks the fortitude to challenge what she fears-a barbaric backlash. She weakly insists there are moderates, instead of just observants and non-observants. She almost completely dismisses the attacks, warfare, violence, and hatred as the work of a few rogues instead of the direction of its leaders and prophet. Finally, she grovels at the one-sided account of the historical figure instead of the proper comparison with her own Savior.

When shadow warrior and former Tier One Navy SEAL John Dempsey goes undercover to meet with a Vory arms dealer, he thinks he’s laying the groundwork to penetrate the Russian criminal underground. Instead, he walks into a trap orchestrated by Zeta, the secret Russian task force behind a recent assassination attempt on the US President. For Dempsey and his team, the only way out is to lay waste to the Russians, putting a target on Ember’s back.

A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them. James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone.

"Visions of the spiritual world": A Brief Description of the Spiritual Realm, Its Different States of Existence, and the Destiny of Good and Evil Men as Seen in Visions. Sundar Singh was known in his lifetime as India's most famous convert to Christianity. His twenty-three years pilgrimage as a sadhu - a wandering, penniless pilgrim - had led him across more than twenty countries on four continents. He had profoundly influenced tens of thousands of people. He never accepted the religion as such but he instead emphasized the life-changing starkness of Christ's original teachings.

Passion and intellect in perfect balance
Revisado: 01-08-25
Mr. Singh is demonstrably a devout reformed Christian and his work is supported with Bible references. Obviously his visions are his own and for his own personal spiritual journey and should not be used by anyone else as revelation by God to the reader.

Very female centric. Lots of emotion mixed in with the action. Also lots of aliens and some overall story tie-in at the end.
