We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Fun story
Revisado: 08-30-23
I really enjoyed this. Its lighthearted take is fun and endearing. Skippy, reminiscent of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, was pretty good. I’m not sure I was in love with him…but not sure I wasn’t. Better read the next book and see if he grows on me.

Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Great short story

I really enjoy this. I knew nothing about it when I chose to listen to this and enjoyed how the story unfolded and where it took me.

The Carry Home is both a moving celebration of the outdoor life shared between Ferguson and his wife, Jane, who died tragically in a canoeing accident in Northern Ontario in 2005, and a chronicle of the mending, uplifting power of nature. Confronting his unthinkable loss, Ferguson set out to fulfill Jane's final wish: the scattering of her ashes in five remote, wild locations they loved and shared.

Heart touching read!
Revisado: 03-15-16
This was a great and inspiring story. The narrative was a little fragmented and hard to follow, though. It demanded attention to keep up with which story Ferguson was sharing at the moment, because he jumped between them quickly and with little warning: distant past, accident, anecdote, present.

In search of adventure, 29-year-old Conor Grennan traded his day job for a year-long trip around the globe, a journey that began with a three-month stint volunteering at the Little Princes Children's Home, an orphanage in war-torn Nepal. Conor was initially reluctant to volunteer, unsure whether he had the proper skill, or enough passion, to get involved in a developing country in the middle of a civil war. But he was soon overcome by the herd of rambunctious, resilient children.

Nepal in all its Glory

Would you listen to Little Princes again? Why?
I'd listen to this again when I need motivation/adventure in my life.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved how Grennan described things. I love that he captured the awe of the country, the adventure of being there; but also didn't shy away from the difficult realities. Many of us think of working for an NGO, but we often ignore the difficulties in financing it, or the health risks.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book made me cry on several occasions. I think this is because I really related to some of the experiences Grennan related. I loved the sincerity with which he shared these experiences.
