Historia
From the Oval Office to the streets of Moscow, world leaders and ordinary citizens alike share interest and concerns about Russia. Can democracy survive there? What does the future hold for the once expansive and still powerful Russian nation? Is Soviet Communism truly dead? These are the kinds of questions diplomats struggle with every day.

Prof. Hamburg Randomly Picked Topics
- De Bob Savage en 11-15-14
The professor is ideological
Revisado: 11-02-23
Coming off the Rise and Fall of the British Empire, I was taken aback by the ideological presentation of this professor. He uses emotional language and loaded words.. lots of "so-called's" and would say who and who wasn't nasty. it isn't your job to provide emotional context especially considering how hyperboles academia has become. He was obviously narrative bending. He also had a very Ben Steinesque delivery. He also completely ignores Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Woke subtext, cringe ending
Revisado: 12-26-22
I'd picked up some woke subtext through the series but it came out to shine in this book. The writing at the end was like a cavalcade of smiles like it was the intro to a 90s sitcom.

Historia
Former Marine Captain Alexander Hale only wanted a weekend out with some old buddies. He could have done without the gang war, the shootout, and...oh yeah, the alien abduction. Now he's in the middle of something he doesn't understand, never asked for, and is having quite possibly the greatest time of his life. Semper Fi and which way are the shores of Tripoli anyway?

Slow build up, fun final battle.
Revisado: 01-27-22
It does build up slow, but the final battle is fun. It has a cliff hanger ending from a new development and not a lingering plot line that will, infact, cause me to get the next book. This is on the hope there are more battles like the climax of this book.

Good book!
Revisado: 07-20-21
Put SG1's Jack O'Neil in a setting with Skippy from Expeditionary Force.. I do have to say the president nemesis was so over the top I had to speed up the audio book to get past his megalomaniac rants and standard cheap "make southerners evil" habit most modern authors have to do to get published.. the rest of it was great.

Historia
In the final days of World War II, the Allies ransacked Berlin. Third Reich scientists were highly sought-out prizes for Americans and Russians desperate to possess Nazi nuclear knowledge. But they failed to capture one of the most vital members of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle, Hans Kammler, a liaison with the Nazis’ silent partners whose technological wonders nearly helped the Axis win the war - the alien species the Germans called the Eidechse. More than seven decades later, US Navy SEAL Mark Hunter witnesses the impossible in North Korea....

The funnest Ian Douglas book I've ever read!
Revisado: 02-03-21
Ian Douglas usually writes hard science fiction. This book was delightful treat that unites all of the UFO conspiracy theories into one neat and believable narrative. I imagine he had a lot of fun writing thus novel. It is very out of character for an author that spins great stories out of eccentricities of physics.. to see his science oriented brain put to task knitting all the UFO lore (yes, apparently there is lore) into a serious story.. well.. it was a delight to read and I even think the narrator enjoyed it.

Historia
United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.
