This true modern masterpiece is built around the two fateful words that make up the title and herald the end - “Alas, Babylon.” When a nuclear holocaust ravages the United States, a thousand years of civilization are stripped away overnight, and tens of millions of people are killed instantly. But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to confront the darkness....

Providing the horror and mutuality between good people to overcome the real dread we feel about total war. Excellent Narration.

One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system. It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

Yes

Admiral Theodore Magnuson, director of the Office of Naval Intelligence, didn't like the idea of sending the Seventh Fleet to Vladivostok for a New Year's celebration with the Russians. The president didn't give a damn what Magnuson thought, however; he was after détente. Fearing the worst, Magnuson decides to run his own intelligence mission, sending men into Russia and China. The admiral is certain the US visit to the usually closed Soviet port is a cover for something. Something big.

- De: Charles D. Taylor

Love this period of conflict but this book drags
Revisado: 08-15-15
What would have made The Twilight Patriots better?
The narrator is reading as if to another group not used to English - Very slow and deliberate - tiring!
Has The Twilight Patriots turned you off from other books in this genre?
I have a large library on my shelves and several Audible spy/war novels - but this one is not for my shelves and would return it.
What didn’t you like about Kevin Pierce’s performance?
Too slow and non-emotional.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment.
Any additional comments?
I am currently reading 4 books from our local library and have others booked. So I enjoy reading 2 to 4 books a week. I don't have too many I would reject.

In this Hugo-nominated novel, an alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer, Hollus, asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho.

Revisado: 01-14-15
What did you love best about Calculating God?

His experience of the aliens wanting more from him.
What about Jonathan Davis and Robert J. Sawyer ’s performance did you like?
The use of subtle language worked for me.

Yes it hooked me and I couldn't put it down
