Historia
Captain Alatriste is the story of a fictional 17th-century Spanish soldier who, after being wounded in battle during the Thirty Years' War, is forced to retire from the army. Now he lives the comparatively tame, though hardly quiet, life of a swordsman-for-hire in Madrid. Approached with an offer of work, Alatriste is told to go with another hired blade to an unfamiliar part of the city at midnight and wait.

Very well done. I'm studying Spanish and appreciated the way the narrator worked the Spanish names and phrases. The work is a classic in any event, and now I should read it in the original language.

Historia
In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: There's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: They can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets.

Gender bending on an extreme level
Revisado: 10-19-18
What if somehow women gained an irreversible power over men? Would a better world emerge? Maybe... but the costs might be high, both personally and for humanity. Well written, likable - and hate able- characters. And well read.

Everyone should read this book, then call their Congressmen and women.
It's what happens when anyone tries to privatize taxpayer funded services... with weather data and forecasts as the prime example.

It explains quite a bit about how the arms race, detente, and MAD came to define international relations. Many of our current politicians would be well advised to read it.

But kind of unlikely. Still, lots of great action, a few surprises. I enjoyed it.

It's a classic. I let the words roll over me. I couldn't concentrate on it and drive safely at the same time. He has a low opinion of women, I noticed. Glad I finished it.

Historia
At an exclusive school somewhere outside of Arlington, Virginia, students aren't taught history, geography, or mathematics - at least not in the usual ways. Instead, they are taught to persuade. Here the art of coercion has been raised to a science. Students harness the hidden power of language to manipulate the mind and learn to break down individuals by psychographic markers in order to take control of their thoughts. The very best will graduate as "poets": adept wielders of language who belong to a nameless organization that is as influential as it is secretive.

Words cannot hurt you.
Revisado: 08-30-15
This is a very good story. It starts somewhat disjointed and takes a while to get it. I could probably convince you to do certain things, but could I convince you to shoot yourself? And if I could, how else might I use such a power? An interesting story.

Historia
Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his 11th life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August", she says. "I need to send a message". This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

It isn't clear who the main actors are, other than the title character, until the premise of the story is established. Is it possible that there are many who walk among us have been doing so for many lifetimes? A very nice story, I was gripped until the very end.

Historia
The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything....

Back to 6th grade.
Revisado: 07-15-15
Not exactly Ready Player One, but a fun little story about cracking the code that results in living forever. A secret society can't do it after 500 years of trying. Can all the resources that Google can bring to bear? Can a lonely clerk in an all night bookshop? Well... maybe. If he can revert back to 6th grade.
