Dale Maharidge’s father, like many World War II veterans, never talked about “the good war”. There was just one clue to his dad’s experience as a US Marine - a portrait with a close friend that hung permanently in their home. In The Dead Drink First, Dale, now a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recounts his 18-year quest to find and repatriate the missing remains of his dad’s buddy, Herman Walter Mulligan, 73 years after he was killed in action.

Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home.

Excellent! But incessant breaks with credits along the way.

riveting and demanding reflection.... unbiased
Revisado: 06-16-18
Told through the voices of those who lived it, these stories bring the human experience of American families and individuals to light. Much of this humanity was recorded at the time events occurred, not just past reflections... I felt like I was there at those moments.

The protagonist of Just Do It is Phil Knight, a reclusive billionaire who started a two-man operation importing Japanese running shoes and built it into a $4 billion company. Irreverent, unpredictable, and leery of the sports establishment, Knight created the most muscular jock culture in business, a place where employees routinely took two hours at lunch to work out and then strategized late into the night in their holy war against competitors Reebok and Adidas.

lengthy and detailed: business or pop-culture?
Revisado: 04-27-17
the author's command of language and use of grandiose words helps to illustrate the nuanced life of an entrepreneur who is inarguably the major factor in the development of sports as a business. even though this is ancient history for many , it is told here with lively detail and well chosen examples linked together by subject matter and not mundane chronology. Stunning insight into American entrepreneurship.

Truly a page turner, delightful in presentation

What did you love best about False Prophet, a Legal Thriller?
I listened to the Audible addition of False Prophet straight through, with just a break for a few hours sleep. I found it captivating, the story flowing easily, compelling and propelling for a conclusion.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jack Ross, whose personal story intertwined the plot, exposing role controversies in the professional and personal life of an attorney.
Which character – as performed by Lucas Schuneman – was your favorite?
The Pastor, perhaps unordained, but certainly called of God. A timid human of good will, victimized in a diabolical scheme.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Having sharpened my ‘business teeth’ in Indianapolis, I was trying to read between the lines to see if anybody I knew, including myself, were included in the story. As each character appeared and their part in the story unfolded, I felt - "I knew someone like that!". I was moved at every turn of events.
Any additional comments?
I certainly recognized the neighborhoods, the shifting demographics, and the relationships between the press, clergy, and law enforcement in Indy.
