Historia
Galva—Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill—has defied her family’s wishes and joined the army’s untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.

Historia
It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Historia
Wolf of the North: It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be. Jorundyr's Path: Jorundyr's Path is walked only by the brave. As Wulfric pursues Adalhaid's Blood Debt, he soon learns that the path to revenge is never easy. The Blood Debt: A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant. A reckoning long awaited, and a tale reaching its end.

Historia
For decades, Fred Burton was a key figure in international counterterrorism and domestic spy craft. As a member of the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service in the mid 1980s, he was on the front lines of America's first campaign against terror. Now, in this hard-hitting memoir, Burton emerges from the shadows to reveal who he is, what he has accomplished, and the threats that lurk unseen except by an experienced, world-wise few. Told in a no-holds-barred, gripping, nuanced style, this behind-the scenes account of one counterterrorism agent's life and career is a riveting listen.

Shallow macho BS. Two dimensional character with a lot of so what?
Revisado: 08-20-22
Gotta say, it leads like this is really how it was/is but it is a lame effort at a hard boiled crime novel full of 2D stereotypes and unnecessary machismo. Sounds more like a mall rent a cop talking to his out of work high school buddies over a Hamms in his parents back yard where he still lives. Everyone he sees in the “hood” is a hooker, a john, an addict or a criminal. Nothing at all happens but he sure is glad he brought us back up piece and the extra ammo because you know, terrorism. In Philly. Waste of time.

One decision can end everything...or lead to unlikely redemption. Millions watched the CBS 60 Minutes special on Jack Barsky in 2015. Now, in this fascinating memoir, the Soviet KGB agent tells his story of gut-wrenching choices, appalling betrayals, his turbulent inner world, and the secret life he lived for years without getting caught.

A post apocalyptic story that focuses on society rather than guns or peepers
Revisado: 08-25-21
I like the genre a lot but am always putting down the stories that are all about the weapons, the heroic militia types that rationalize getting and keeping theirs. To hell with all those suckers who didn’t build a bunker. This story is nuanced, sometimes a bit overly dramatic, but weaves a complicated story with multiple characters with some rich science fiction blurring into real science today.

Forget to turn up the volume...
Revisado: 12-09-19
I rarely write reviews but this is that lame. The poor readers trying to create drama out of the rocket scientist jet pilot heroes forgetting to plug things in, suck in their gut or turn up the volume on a radio is just pathetic. Unreal. I am quitting but I want my life back.

Exclamation points are exhausting
Revisado: 03-22-16
Basically this is a high concept story that was delivered in a way over the top writing and reading style. I don't blame the reader because there probably was an exclamation point at the end of every sentence. No character development and an endless series of events that were imminent life or death moments that became a boring blur of who cares who dies in whatever gruesome way. I won't go see the blockbuster movie it was trying to be written as. Did you see Godzilla in the 90's?

Historia
Two words: the bullet. That's all it takes to shatter her life. Caroline Cashion is beautiful, intelligent, a professor of French literature. But in a split second, everything she's known is proved to be a lie. A single bullet, gracefully tapered at one end, is found lodged at the base of her skull. Caroline is stunned. It makes no sense: She has never been shot. She has no entry wound, no scar. Then, over the course of one awful evening, she learns the truth.

Should be titled "So you got shot as a kid, get over it."
Revisado: 03-08-16
I got sucked in by the set up and the snippet in the sample was misleading. It reads like a cheap romance novel where the dramatic highlights need to be repeated ad naseum in an effort to make you care at all. But then wait, let's talk about our meal forever... Whatever. Jack Reacher would have rolled right on through this town. Might have shot her himself just to thin the herd.
The reader has talent for sure. Great accents. I would search her out except that I was tricked so badly by the sample...

Historia
Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

Very engaging and stimulating content. Question everything. A good practice and well laid out. I highly recommend it to anyone considering sex or judging anyone else's sexual life.
