Torrent Company's Captain Rex agrees to temporarily relieve Anakin Skywalker of Ahsoka, his ubiquitous and insatiably curious Padawan, by bringing her along on a routine three-day shakedown cruise aboard Captain Gilad Pellaeon's newly refitted assault ship. But the training run becomes an active and dangerous rescue mission when Republic undercover Agent Hallena Devis goes missing in the middle of a Separatist invasion.

Jamesian Theology and Sound Design
Reviewed: 12-29-20
I finished Karen Traviss' Star Wars: The Clone Wars: No Prisoners, a book which, while having a title that is a tad too long, provided some excellent analysis of the ethics of war, or lack thereof, and the moral high ground that Jamesian theology has over Pauline theology, all through the lens of the semi-titular Clone Wars. Aside from thematic elements, the sound design in this audio book is exquisite, a style I've never encountered in audiobooks before, and I hope more authors incorporate!

Because Internet is for anyone who's ever puzzled over how to punctuate a text message or wondered where memes come from. It's the perfect book for understanding how the internet is changing the English language, why that's a good thing, and what our online interactions reveal about who we are.

Absolutely delightful
Reviewed: 08-12-20
This book was fantastic. It's a delve into the linguistics and anthropology of the internet by analyzing her personal corner of the internet and an invitation for to analyze and investigate all the tiny wonderful things going on in our own internets. It's the manifesto that truly illustrates why internet communities are worth researching and how deeply connected they are to the communities we have created for centuries.
Likewise Gretchen's narration of the book is superb and hilarious. From narrating keyboard smashes to imitating Victorian linguists McCulloch's narration is clear, easy to follow, and delightfully funny.

"The Rise of the Scientists Who Study Dinosaurs"

The surprisingly human tale!
Reviewed: 06-17-19
This book walks you through the history of the dinosaurs from beginning to end while simultaneously telling the many varied and exciting human stories of how we learned what we know about them. From the stories of a day in the life of a T-rex, to paleontological spies during WWI to modern discoveries only a few years old, it's marvelously written, expertly narrated, and excitingly educational.
Do recommend!
