I mostly enjoyed it
Revisado: 09-23-22
Once I reached the Quantum Physics section begins the author goes into grandiose story telling mode. While I ultimately appreciated the point he was making, that wasn't what I was interested in when I picked this audiobook.

Liked it

I wasn't sure at first because it starts off kind of slow and confusing which caused my mind to wander but I'm glad I kept with it! Unique sci-fi

Fantastic story and narration. If you like Lovecraft or just mystery/horror this is a must! Yes it's only 2.5 hours long but you'll be thinking about it for hours afterwards

It's the eve of the 22nd century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence. Daniel Bruks is a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational.

If you like books with too many metaphors and detailed descriptions of things this is for you! Definitely not a casual read, the author tries too hard

Couldn't get into it

I really wanted to but just couldn't get into this book. It's too abstract and I didn't like the reader. She reads it in a way that makes it more difficult to comprehend.

Good Overall
Revisado: 03-06-21
Like most of these type of books there's a lot of fluff and a lot of things you probably already know. I appreciated the overall balanced view of different investing strategies instead of just advocating one style of investing as the only strategy worthwhile as many do. I would recommend it as a good read, especially for newer investors

Historia
Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Loved this book!
Revisado: 12-16-19
Kel's dark and twisted sense of humor comes through in this book and the story is great so far! He does go a little far with the talking to his friend and constantly being overheard by others but that would be my only criticism. Looking forward to the next books!

Historia
Frey is the captain of the Ketty Jay, leader of a small and highly dysfunctional band of layabouts. An inveterate womaniser and rogue, he and his gang make a living on the wrong side of the law, avoiding the heavily armed flying frigates of the Coalition Navy. With their trio of ragged fighter craft, they run contraband, rob airships, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. So a hot tip on a cargo freighter loaded with valuables seems like a great prospect for an easy heist and a fast buck. Until the heist goes wrong, and the freighter explodes.

Couldn't Even Finish
Revisado: 08-22-19
The main character isn't likeable at all. Parts of this seem like they are written by a 12 year old. To be fair I didn't finish it so maybe it gets better later but I had enough. I like the Black Ocean series much better as far as having a Firefly type feel.
