Unformative and Enjoyable

Revisado: 04-21-25

I took my time with this one and I enjoyed it very much. One of those books I would definitely get through more than once in my life and hope to return to again one day when I'm a little older and more alien ocean human robotics exploration has occurred. I highly recommend this book to anybody interested in the topic.

The Cold Equations - Wow

Revisado: 04-15-25

There's something to be said about the imagination of the science fiction authors of the early 20th century and the power and magnitude of how hard a short story can hit you. So it is especially with "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin, which is one of the best, if the best short story sci-fi pieces I have experienced. Wow, that alone made this collection well worth it as I will remember that story for the rest of my life. There are a few other gems in the collection as well but not all were to my liking. I definitely recommend this to anybody thinking about working their way through the collection. we

Very enjoyable and thought provoking

Revisado: 04-10-25

The content of this book goes over one of the most engaging and thought-provoking grand questions we humans ponder over. Are we alone in the universe, and if we aren't, where is everybody? I thought I had mulled over all the possibilities until I encountered this book. I was thoroughly impressed with the significant variety of possible answers to the Fermi paradox presented within the book. If I ever find myself going back over this review, note to self, read this one again, it's really good. Anybody else that is interested in this book that has found their way to it; if you're pondering whether or not you should read it, I highly recommend giving it a shot.

Reagan rocks!

Revisado: 04-02-25

The speeches are fantastic. The words are inspiring and the delivery is witty and expert. Several of the speeches were similar enough that this collection ended up being a bit repetitive.

Engaging

Revisado: 04-01-25

Slow to start but once things pick up they pick up quite well; the plot, the characters, the setting, all of it comes together nicely to draw you to the conclusion which could be a standalone but is really just the start of a long series.

Top notch book on the subject

Revisado: 03-28-25

This is hands down one of the best books I have encountered on the subject. I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through and I highly recommend it to anybody interested in learning more about this mystery. The book helps take away the need for people to believe in the subject and more for them to simply engage with and acknowledge the evidence and accept the genuine mystery of the phenomenon for what it is.

Engaging and captivating

Revisado: 03-22-25

I found this to be a very enjoyable history of a few Titans of manufacturing through the early part of the 20th century culminating in a Herculaneum effort and achievement of production during World War II. I had never even heard of one of these individuals which I found wholly amazing, so I thoroughly enjoyed learning about him. The more famous couple of individuals that are covered within the book are also fascinating to learn more about than what is typically known of them. Overall there's historical knowledge dropped that is engaging and captivating.

Engaging storyline

Revisado: 03-19-25

Very short installments that really should just be put into one book as this audiobook correctly does. The series concludes with a nice wrap up at the end. Nothing special overall but an enjoyable read if this subject matter interests you and you like "what if" scenarios related to the current climate of mystery that surrounds us in the real world.

Imaginative - Deep Time

Revisado: 03-09-25

This book was very imaginative and had very captivating elements to it. I greatly appreciated the deep time concepts and the cutting edge Sci-Fi this old school novel cultivated which went on to inspire a plethora of different works and themes within my favorite genres. This is big idea sci-fi not for the faint of heart.

A mixed bag with treasures

Revisado: 03-08-25

This was a very mixed bag with some being altogether uninteresting and boring to some being mind-blowing and expansive with powerful depth and foresight. I was immensely impressed with the latter. The really good stories were excellent. There was a really short one that was breathtaking. I don't need to go in any detail as to what the specific stories were as anybody interested in this collection should simply dive in and find for themselves through Discovery what it is they like and dislike. I kicked off my Arthur C. Clarke reads this year with this collection and I intend to consume many more of his works this year with a possible re-read of 2001.
