Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

Entertaining Thill Ride
Revisado: 09-07-24
Nice little fast paced, action-packed, tight thriller, with huge global stakes.
With enough complex political/social/military/media/interpersonal conflict, backbiting, and competition frustrating and complicating our protagonists progress to make it very realistic.

Joan of Arc's life and her accomplishments, as seen through the eyes of her childhood friend, are described with irony and brilliant insight into human nature. This was Twain's last book and he considered it to be his best.

A delightful masterpiece of style
Revisado: 08-21-23
What a delightful masterpiece of style.
Literary ingenuity galore!
Satire on a higher plane of loftiness.
Embellished and enhanced for character development, etc, with an ingenious literary device.
But in the broad sense very true to historical records.
Moving and inspirational and heart-rending and hilarious and devastating all at the same time.
With subtle and not-so-subtle satirization of the deification, mythification, and exaggerificaton of such martyrs.

Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

THIS NARCISSISTIC CRAZE IS HEADING TOWARDS DECLINE
Revisado: 11-24-22
Reclaim the courage to think and speak for yourself.
Learn how to not be cowed into submission by the new puritanical scare tactics and silencing tactics of this minority of witch-hunters who dominate as the Squeaky Wheels in media/politics at the moment.
They are on the way out.
The new Puritans' nature is ultimately cannibalistic, and the narcissistic craze will eventually self-destruct.

Fifty-five men met in Philadelphia in 1787 to write a document that would create a country and change a world: the Constitution. Here is a remarkable rendering of that fateful time, told with humanity and humor. Decision in Philadelphia is the best popular history of the Constitutional Convention; in it, the life and times of 18th-century America not only come alive, but the very human qualities of the men who framed the document are brought provocatively into focus - casting many of the Founding Fathers in a new light.

The dystopian future we've been warned of is here. Dave Rubin has been on the front lines of the culture wars for years. Now, he offers tactics you can use to protect yourself from today’s authoritarian rule—from resisting the grip of Big Tech to staying sane in a post-truth world. What’s more, he offers a vision for the next generation of patriots who will need to face the future head-on, holding fast to their values and creating a meaningful life no matter how frenzied and fabricated the news of the day is.

A good introductory self-help book.
Revisado: 04-22-22
A self-help book that demonstrates how to resist and push back against the Woke monoculture / cancel culture Mediagarchy collective.
An interesting and well-told personal philosophical and entrepreneurial journey.
A good introductory self-help book.
But there was nothing really new for me, no new scientific, philosophical, or historical insights.
He does share much of my own outlook and understanding of how the world works.
A tad bit too much doomerism (the title, for instance) and partisan bashing in the persuasion techniques, for my tastes.
A worthwhile read for beginners trying to figure out freedom and flourishing.

Why do minds exist? How did mud and stone develop into beings that can experience longing, regret, love, and compassion - beings that are aware of their own experience? Until recently, science offered few answers to these existential questions. Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, the Self, and civilization emerged incrementally out of chaos.

Gavin Guile is dying. He'd thought he had five years left - now he has less than one. With 50,0000 refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin has problems on every side. All magic in the world is running wild and threatens to destroy the Seven Satrapies. Worst of all, the old gods are being reborn, and their army of color wights is unstoppable. The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole 16 years ago.

SUPER-CLEAR EXPLANATION
Revisado: 09-24-21
Super-clear Explanation
I've been a super-fan of physics forever. I've read all of Dr. Lincoln's books. He is a great teacher.
This was a super-great refresher to all that Dr. Lincoln has taught me in the past, with exciting new info and teaching.
He also has a fun style with humor.
Highly recommended.
I also highly recommend all his 10 minute Fermilab physics educational videos on YouTube.
Great stuff.

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

The grandeur and awe and majesty of scientific discovery. Goose-bumps were raised.
One of the greatest Hard Science Fiction books of all time.
