Historia
For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Much like Starter Villain - A cute story
Revisado: 03-28-25
I enjoyed this story, but there are no laser battles in space or other heavy sci-fi. It does have a billionaire death by ***** (spoilers).

Historia
The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight. Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

The problem with lying about having a super weapon is that the bad guys might believe they have nothing to lose by doing something stupid that both sides will regret. Or, they might just call your bluff. Either way, the Merry Band of Pirates need a plan to deal with the Fallout.

Fantastic series continues the awesomeness.
I would say I am looking forward to the conclusion of the series however nothing could be further from the truth. I would be perfectly happy if the series continued for an additional 13 books

Historia
After the latest mission of the starship Flying Dutchman, Earth is safe not just for a year, but for hundreds of years. The ship’s weary crew wonders what they will do with their lives in peacetime, but the enemy has other plans, and there is danger on the Homefront. Starring Zachary Quinto, R.C. Bray, Kate Mulgrew, Robert Picardo, and everyone's favorite AI, Skippy the Magnificent, alongside a full cast. Includes plenty of pew-pew-pew, original sound composition, and maybe some singing by R.C. Bray.

Perhaps this type of production isn’t for me. I really enjoy the books and the narration by Bray, but I was overwhelmed by the sound effects and voice modulation for the computer battles.

Historia
The Etymologicon is a completely unauthorized guide to the strange underpinnings of the English language. It explains: How you get from “gruntled” to “disgruntled”; why you are absolutely right to believe that your meager salary barely covers “money for salt”; how the biggest chain of coffee shops in the world (hint: Seattle) connects to whaling in Nantucket; and what precisely the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening.

Perhaps an audiobook is not the best format for the story. It is full of puns and wordplay, but dry

Historia
In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Main Character has a Furry sex slave
Revisado: 03-01-19
If this is what you are looking for, look no further for a "nerd" who ends up purchasing women at auction and "reluctantly" having sex with them (the furry can make multiples) aside from at least 2 others who are in love with him as their owner. Then this is the book for you. I completed the first book and started the 2nd and finally had to just drop the entire project.
The writing itself is fine and the performance is excellent, but the book had a real creepy vibe for me regarding owning women as slaves who all desperately want to have sex with the main character.
Not for me.

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night - different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful - Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos of the parahuman world.

Superwoman?
Revisado: 06-24-17
I have never been a fan of stories where the main character is invincible. They know everything, they can do everything they can hack the FBI and Russian Mobsters. They are expert marksman and marshal artists. The main character here even "wrote her own programming language" to create super viruses. But she gives it all up for the love of a good man.

Historia
In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency’s widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history, triggering a fierce debate over national security....

Much more than I Imagined
Revisado: 03-27-16
I am guilty of doing exactly what the author feared and not understanding the gravity of the crimes committed by my government. Do yourself a favor and listen to this. This book does not come down on the side of republicans or democrats but squarely against the surveillance state.

A classic for good reason.
Revisado: 04-19-15
I am embarrassed to say I put off reading this book for way too long. Primarily because I had already seen the movie, and in general knew the plot of the book. However the narrator does such a fantastic job especially in communicating the urgency and confusion of the title character the book really comes through. This book is much much better than the movie.
