Historia
Conspiracy theories are starting to become so much more than the obsession of fringe individuals. A survey by New Science magazine found that the percentage of people believing in one or more conspiracies had risen from 15% twenty years ago to 35% per cent last year. They are shaping politics, media, the way we view life itself. In The Conspiracy Tourist Dom Joly sets out to find out where these ideas come from and learn about the people who create and believe them.

This comedy is not for me.
Revisado: 05-13-24
I listened to this more as a comedy than any other type of book. I don't really enjoy comedies that call all of the people of middle America ignorant rude hicks. If you like that kind of humor than this is perfect for you. Also, I can see some as saying that all American food is bland, but someone from the UK? Our food is bland compared to yours? Maybe that is true and or funny. What do I know?

Historia
Hank is getting married! The space station Belvaille has become home to a species of actors. The newest edition to the Post Colmarian Confederation are the Damakan race. As a species they are capable of “broadcast empathy”. Their acting skills are so powerful they are able to make people believe their portrayals are literally happening - even over remote transmission.

Never Laughed So Much.
Revisado: 06-04-20
I have never laughed so much, or out loud so much. An example: "How's life treating you?" Hank - "Like I slept with his wife and gave her herpes." That is a terrible line, I know. Tasteless, gross, socially unacceptable. But, even days later, I still smile and almost laugh out loud. I loved book 1, I enjoyed book 2, but this was the funniest, stupidest best book I have listened to (maybe) in my life.

After firewalking in Polynesia, fundamentalist Minister Alexander Hergensheimer never saw the world the same. Now called Alec Graham, he was in the middle of an affair with his stewardess, Margrethe, and natural disasters kept following them. First, there was an impossible iceberg that wrecked the ship in the tropics; then, after being rescued by a Royal Mexican plane, they were hit by a double earthquake. To Alex, the signs were clear that Armageddon and the Day of Judgment were near.

Historia
The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob - featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct.

Historia
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Great Job on a Classic Story
Revisado: 08-05-16
What did you love best about The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress?
I will never make it to the moon, except through this type of novel. Heinlein does a great job on speculating what it would be like to live in the moon. His way of using humor and fact make this an easy read. But what I like most about this novel is Heinlein's ability to see the assumptions we make (that most don't even see as assumptions) and set them aside. Humor makes it an easy to consider new political views.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The narrator Manny, such an un-assuming hero. But don't forget M. Holmes. Holmes will play an integral part in several other novels, not the least of which is "The Number of the Beast."
What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?
Lloyd James brings the characters to life. I think he does them justice, and will look for other books read by him.

Enjoyable and a pleasure to "Read"
Revisado: 07-29-16
What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?
Andrews did a wonderful job capturing the spirit and character of the members of this story. Well Done!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would not be able to finish this in one sitting, but I did steal time to read, and looked forward to times when I could read Steelheart
Any additional comments?
Filled with action, surprises, and metaphors. This was a pleasure to read, and the tension only increased as the end neared. I plan to re-read it, and share it with my children and grandchildren.

Historia
Hank was a dying breed on the space station Belvaille. The criminal gangs that had once made their homes there were forced out by the corporations that had taken over since the facility became an Independent Protectorate. Instead of the gentlemanly gang wars that had once dominated the scene, and made Hank's services prized as a negotiator, the city was now plagued by the clash of corporate armies using heavy weapons. Even tanks roamed the streets regularly.
