Historia
This is a story of America! An older man, near the end of his days, sees his way of life and the code he follows in danger of disappearing. A younger man, on the brink of a new beginning, cannot embrace it without confronting the traumas of his past. And a maniac is intent on destroying them both. Bonds are formed, secrets exposed, sacrifices made, trusts betrayed - all against a breathtaking American landscape of promise and peril. Three unforgettable characters, hurtling toward a spellbinding climax where pasts and futures collide and lives hang in the balance.

Unexpected great story
Revisado: 04-16-23
I putchased this book because my grandfather (born in 1874) had told me stories of him and his friends catching freight trains to get around when he was a young man and I wanted to learm more. This book is much more than that. I will never think of hoboes in the same way again.

Different but Tess never lets me down
Revisado: 01-30-23
I had difficulty getting into this book because it began as much more of a romamce than a mystery. Never the less Tess Gerritsen is a favorite of mine so I toughed it out and finished it. I am very glad that I did!

Historia
Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

Wonderful amazing book. Another Doerr masterpiece.
Revisado: 10-26-21
Like All the Light We Cannot See Anthony Doerr, with an economy of words, paints a wonderful story. At times his prose is more like poetry.
He weaves stories from 3 different eras into a beautiful human tapestry that provides great insight into the human condition and enriches us.
Since there is no book jacket for Audible I recommend reading about the book prior to listening. I listened to most of it while driving and it takes a while to learn the characters. Once I read about the book I had no problem at all.
This book is on my very short listen again list.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

A very enjoyable listen. Well done!
Revisado: 04-25-21
I almost didn't listen to this book. Steve's books had started to be like a history lesson with a mystery thrown in. I am glad I listened to this one and hope it is a model for future titles. The story is good and rich. The history is well integrated into the story not the other way around. I have listened to all of Steve's books. I now look forward to the next one.

Her daemon, Pantalaimon, is witness to a brutal murder, and the dying man entrusts them with secrets that carry echoes from their past.

Fascinating 2nd book in the Dust trilogy.
Revisado: 12-02-19
As in the Dark Materials trilogy I thought the first book was a good but somewhat ordinary story. As in The Dark Materials the first book set the stage for an utterly creative and fascinating second book with many unexpected turns. I sincerely hope we don't have long to wait for the last book. I am getting old and would hate to miss then ending.
