Historia
Beginning in 2018, a powerful app for secure communications, called Anom, began to take root among drug dealers and other criminals. It had extraordinary safeguards to keep out prying eyes--the power to quickly wipe data, voice-masking technology, and more. It was better than other apps popular among organized crime syndicates, except for one thing: it was secretly run by law enforcement. Over the next few years, the FBI, along with law enforcement partners in Australia and parts of Europe, got a front row seat to the global criminal underworld.

Repetitive
Revisado: 10-26-24
This book is initially insightful, then devolves into a seemingly endless loop for the second half. If you cut the length of the book in half it would be a decent listen.

Historia
For years, the United States was confident that the newly democratic Russia and increasingly wealthy China could be lured into a Western-led order that promised prosperity and relative peace—so long as they agreed to Washington’s terms. By the time America emerged from the age of terrorism, it was clear that this had been a fantasy.

Thorough
Revisado: 10-24-24
Sanger provided ample examples and sources to illustrate how Russia, China, and the US are intermingled, how we got here, the priorities of each entity, their strengths, and their weaknesses. I’d highly recommend to anyone wishing to further their knowledge of the above.

Countless Chances
Revisado: 10-21-24
The book is well researched but I found the copious amount of numbers and figures mentioned too challenging to remember for any length of time. Overall, the book delivers a clear message: Trump is a grifter who’s survived by failing upwards, chance, and infinite lifelines from his father.

Revisado: 10-18-24
Bob Woodward does a fantastic job of connecting Trump and those in his orbit with foreign influences. This book is easy to follow, it does not overwhelm you with names and dates. I would highly recommend reading!

Historia
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Mild Rambling
Revisado: 05-21-23
The narrator was fantastic. His cadence, inflection, and various voices were excellent. The story was a bit anticlimactic. There wasn’t much in the way of horror or riveting suspense. It’s mostly about people banding together to survive. Nothing novel about that idea.

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.

Dr. Grace is a quirky, nerdy fellow, but the plot, writing style, and narrator were excellent. Definitely worth a read!

Historia
In this revelatory, unnerving, and ultimately hopeful book, Bremmer details how domestic and international conflicts leave us unprepared for a trio of looming crises—global health emergencies, transformative climate change, and the AI revolution. Today, Americans cannot reach consensus on any significant political issue, and US and Chinese leaders behave as if they’re locked in a new Cold War. We are squandering opportunities to meet the challenges that will soon confront us all.

Throughout the book the author provides facts, gives theoretical solutions, then explains the pros and cons of his position. Chapter three succinctly details the looming threat of crisis change in an illuminating manner. I highly recommend this book!

Repetitive and General
Revisado: 07-22-22
The same information is perpetuated throughout this book so many times you’d think Audible was replaying the same few chapters. None of the information was in-depth, it was a surface level synopsis of articles that every average New York Times reader would already know. The material is presented in a textbook fashion with a slew of statistics that wouldn’t be applicable in any situation outside of a classroom or think-tank.

A larger-than-life hero with a towering personality, Robin Olds was a graduate of West Point and an inductee in the National College Football Hall of Fame for his All-American performance for Army. In World War II, Olds quickly became a top fighter pilot and squadron commander by the age of 22—a double ace with twelve aerial victories. But it was in Vietnam where the man became a legend.

Exceptional!
Revisado: 01-23-18
Finding myself a quarter of the way through Robin’s book I realized it would eventually end, which left me debating over whether I should read it slowly or continue my rapid pace. It wasn’t much of a battle, the tales were too exciting and well-written to be put off. Without a doubt this book is one of my favorites. It’s safe to say Robin is an endless source of motivation. He is a man who displayed courage and honor through a thirty year career in the military. I recommend this book to anyone with a fascination for history, aviation, military, or reading.
