Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Narrator is top-notch.

I don't read very many sci-fi novels, but the title piqued my interest. And I really didn't remember ordering the audio, but since it was in my queue and I had an hour's drive ahead of me, I hit the play button, and I was off of a most exciting galactic adventure without having to leave the safety of my 'auto-shell'. There are only two main characters in the novel, one of whom speaks Earth's language; the other uses a language similar to Earth's whale songs. Both are on a solo mission to find a way to save their home planets from an invasive organism that infects and kills every other living organism on the planet by harvesting all the energy, if I understand it correctly. But that technicality is only the vehicle for the relationship story of the two alien-to-each-other astronauts.
It is a fairly technical jargon-laden story, but have no fear, the narrator does an amazing job of breathing life into all the foreign technical language . . . so much so that you don't even notice nor care whether it all makes sense. Sci-fi buffs may relish all the strange-sounding words, but those of us who aren't that sci-fi savvy can still thoroughly enjoy the ride. I had a great time listening to Roy Porter vividly portray Andy Weir's one-man, one-alien struggle to maintain their respective species. Play the sample audio. But be prepared to be hooked.

History in the spotlight
Revisado: 05-08-21
Although Sandbrook touched on only 6 instances of possible highjacked histories, it does give one reason to pause and look deeper into the absolutes that we the public are bombarded with daily. Well worth listening to.

Historia
If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus' vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

Affirmation of the Unspoken
Revisado: 02-22-21
This book eloquently and understandably affirmed what my heart knew but my mind and words could not verbalize. Chapter and verse (of the Bible) were presented in a new light that helped banished the dark and murky institutionalized edicts of old. So much food for thought. A book that I will visit again and again.

Historia
The Man on the Mountaintop tells the story of Holy Man Joe, an ageing and unassuming man who lives in a hermitage on top of a mountain. During the summer months, thousands of hopefuls line the path leading to his door, seeking his wisdom. From bombastic, wealthy nobles intent on cheating their way to the top to drunkards who gradually build the physical and mental strength they need to quit their addiction, The Man on the Mountaintop is a rousing tale full of humour, wit and life lessons.

Novel and truths
Revisado: 01-28-19
The recording is a fictional store i.e. novel, but as all good novels, there is the ring of truth in its premise that makes it worth reading/listening to. I suggest that it will be worth your investment of time. It certainly was worth my time!
