Historia
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

A classic that drags on
Revisado: 01-19-25
This is an excellent book, but I have the same problem with it that I did with David Copperfield. Too slow moving at times. The good is that it is beautifully written and the main characters are presented with clarity and depth.

An outstanding novel beautifully written by Hlad and read by Simon Vance. Kept my attention for all 11+ hours, and I was sorry when it was over.

I really enjoyed this book, but the plot was much too predictable for my taste.

Historia
Recent advances in medicine and technology have expanded our understanding of aging across the animal kingdom, and our own timeless quest for the fountain of youth. Yet, despite modern humans living longer today than ever before, the public’s understanding of what is possible is limited to our species—until now. In this spunky, effervescent debut, the key to immortality is revealed to be a superpower within reach.

Historia
The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.

Best book of the year
Revisado: 09-05-23
This audiobook is so far superior to the TV show, I recommend you listen to this before you watch the TV version. It is not unusual for the book to be better than the TV/movie version, but in this case the difference is vast. I consider this book to be one of the best of the year if not five years. The TV series is a pale comparison with weaker characters and numerous continuity issues.

Historia
In the year 2243, the Moon belongs to the dead. The largest graveyard in the solar system, it was the perfect solution to the overcrowding and environmental problems that had plagued mankind for centuries. And the perfect place for Cali Washington to run away from her past. But when a mysterious meteor crashes into one of the Moon’s cemeteries, Cali and her fellow Caretakers find themselves surrounded by a terrifying enemy force that outnumbers them more than a thousand to one. An enemy not hindered by the lack of air or warmth or sustenance. An enemy that is already dead.

Stupid and insulting to Clines' fans.

Peter Clines has written some superb science fiction, but this is not one of them. Ray Porter is the only shinning light in the dungeon of dark stupidity.

A dreary story that leaves you sad
Revisado: 03-29-23
This story reminded me of why I hate Russian literature. It has a dismal outlook on life and assumes that humanity is so flawed there is no hope. That said, this is a true classic of science fiction, and if you have enough vodka in you, enjoyable.

Before he was the Gray Man, Court Gentry was Sierra Six, the junior member of a CIA action team. In their first mission, they took out a terrorist leader, at a terrible price. Years have passed. The Gray Man is on a simple mission when he sees a ghost: the long-dead terrorist, but he's remarkably energetic for a dead man. A decade of time hasn't changed the Gray Man. He isn't one to leave a job unfinished or a blood debt unpaid.

Historia
To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most 60-year-old widowers don't have multiple driver's licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run.
