A real eye opener.

This was a fascinating story and I will certainly be discussing what I learned from this Audible Original story with friends and family.

Small Criticisms: I'm not all that interested in listening to his kids eat or talk about cracking and/or eating nuts. I liked how they were used originally to help introduce the story, but after that, thanks, but they're bound to be more interesting to the author and his family.

I would really have liked to hear more about the Armenians behind all of this, though I doubt they would be as forthcoming as the investigators, or willing witnesses to the thefts.

I would strongly recommend this audio book.

Stories all on other best of Car Talk CD's

Revisado: 06-25-21

Love these guys, and miss the show and Tom, but all of these tales appear on other CD's as well. So I, now have at least 2 of each of these. Because i have more than just the best of series, I have 3 copies of some of these stories.

Mindless entertainment - pure pulp

Revisado: 03-11-20

Okay, but just another military-alien SF tale. It won't win awards. it's representative of SF that would was popular in the late 60's-70's. I would have liked it as a teenager. It was entertaining,without requiring much attention.

Narrator should know at least the names

Revisado: 02-01-20

I like the book generally, but it would have benefited with more technical details. This is Apollo-lite, good for an overview of the early manned space program, but more in-depth books are plentiful, e.g., A Man On the Moon: The Voyages of Apollo Astronauts, by Andrew Chaikin.

Also, the narrator should learn how to pronounce the names of the participants, and their spacecraft. Examples include Walter "Wally" Schirra, Maxime "Max" Faget, and the Agena docking module.

Steady decline

Revisado: 07-23-19

The first book was great, the second okay, but this was a fairytale. it was acceptable, but a bit contrived. It was a chance to see characters that we liked, play together again, but the story just couldn't compete with the original. It devolved into a chance for characters to play the same roles they always pla, and after all is said and done, they all lived happily ever after. Please don't let there be a fourth book!

Still good

Revisado: 07-20-19

Good, just not quite as good as the first book. It felt a bit rushed and a little transparent in spots. Loved the narrator!

No math, but assumes baseball stats knowledge

Revisado: 03-27-19

Lewis always does this. He assumes you are quite familiar with the subject's underlying terms before writing a story about it. I understood the story qualitatively, but wish he could have defined the stats used better. He rushes through often used statistical measurements as if you're already well versed in the subject matter. I like baseball and have studied math/computer science, but not stats. I am not versed in the terms used routinely in the collection of baseball statistics. Not knowing it, this book will not give you that knowledge, but will assume you have it and use it as building blocks for this story.

Not nearly as good as his Super Powered series.

Revisado: 03-12-19

This book really just doesn't go very far as a story. It ends suddenly with no resolution and no real hint at what may be coming in the book. It's not good enough on its own to make me want to waste another credit to see what happens next.

Not a good as The Martian, but still good

Revisado: 09-07-18

I liked it, but the protagonist goes from bad choice to bad choice, yet comes out a hero, in a shady sort of way.
