Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 875
One minute, down-and-out actor Lorenzo Smythe is, as usual, in a bar, drinking away his troubles while watching his career circle the drain. Then a space pilot buys him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knows, he’s shanghaied to Mars. Smythe suddenly finds himself agreeing to the most difficult role of his career: impersonating an important politician who has been kidnapped. Peace with the Martians is at stake, and failure to pull off the act could result in interplanetary war.

Great story, great narration

Yet another fine story by Robert A. Heinlein narrated and performed by Bronson Pinchot showing far more range than I had ever realized he had.

A massive invasion of a major Monarch world gets underway and the weird warrant officers of Voodoo Platoon move into their roles as combat multipliers at the front lines of an incredible no-holds-barred brawl for battlefield domination. Facing legions of Ultramarines, a weaponized population, and re-engineered combat veterans augmented by cybernetics, the stone-cold killers and ready-to-rumble rogues of Strange, fighting alongside a newly christened mech combat team, must hold a gateway landing zone against overwhelming odds.

That really says it all.

Surrounded and outgunned, a group of private military contractors known as “Strange Company” find themselves on a remote planet at the edge of known space, and on the losing end of a bad contract. Orbital D-beam strikes, dropships bristling with auto-guns, missiles, and troops - even Monarch space marines in state-of-the-art advanced battle rattle - will try to prevent the company from reaching the exfil LZ and getting off-world.

Wow, that was good. If grunt level military sci-fi is your thing then Nick Cole is definitely a go to guy.
And Christopher Ryan Grant brings everything to life. Really sells it.

In 1972, Jeff Rice's novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became an instant best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name. After The Night Stalker became one of the highest rated television movies of all time, a sequel, The Night Strangler, was released the following year to great acclaim. Now, after more than three decades out of print, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume.

Darren McGavin is missed.
Revisado: 11-04-22
The only way this could have been better is if they could have gotten the late Darren McGavin to read it.
As it was, Johnny Heller did a fine job.
There were times I could almost imagine how Darren McGavin would have provided the performance and he is missed.

Robots, robots, and more robots.
Revisado: 02-16-22
Robots everywhere.
Asimov’s robot stories are mostly logic problems delving into the operation of devices that follow a given set of principles.
The problems are often why did the robot behave in this way or how do we get the robot to behave how we want it to.
Occasionally other types of situations arise, but it all has to do with how the robots behave as guided by Asimov’s fictional Laws of Robotics.
Nicely bookended by an interview with Dr Susan Calvin that provided the connecting background to all the stories.

Enjoy it for the ride.
Revisado: 02-09-22
An excellent example of Isaac Asimov’s great skill at story telling.
The foreshadowing makes the eventual conclusion obvious about half way through the book, but the ride remained enjoyable to its predictable ending.
Much like trip where you know the destination, but are there for the joy of the journey.

Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece. “Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive....

Great tale told by a master.
A story of survival against obstacles and hardships stranded on an island with nothing but their wits and their bodies to provide for them, and a mysterious agent of aid providing assistance at just the perfect moment.
An addition to the engaging story, it can act as a bit of a reference guide to the nuts and bolts of survival.

Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist and narrator of the story, who happens to be in New York at the time, receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition which he accepts.

Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates.

Wow
Revisado: 12-01-21
Planet of the Apes the novel is a much different story than that found in the films, but it was fascinating to experience the book that inspired such a franchise.
The iconic scenes from the film are here, it is very easy to see how they inspired those moments in the film.
Anyway, excellent book.

Widely debated since its publication in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Presenting an analytical approach to the problems of capitalism and the resulting class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the text lays out the rationale and goals of communism as conceived by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Know thy enemy
Revisado: 11-11-21
Just finished The Communist Manifesto by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London just as the Revolutions of 1848 began to erupt.
The purpose of this pamphlet is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning and inhibit clarity. A well practiced effort in intellectual intimidation creating a near impenetrable fog of deception.
In its most coherent parts it shifts between sophistry, circular, logic, and frequent sojourns into pure evil.
I am not suggesting one should avoid this work, in fact, I recommend everyone read it.
One should know thy enemy, and they are your enemy. They are threat to your life, your well-being, your liberty, and all you may hold dear.
