Historia
The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies - and enemies - Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Probably the best 40k series
Revisado: 11-20-24
Silly pulp trash, but that's what 40k is for! This is not high brow, but it's fun and dumb. But Eisenhorn is the best of it. Looks at 40k from the perspective of an inquisitor, in a kind of "detective noir in 40k" mashup that works surprisingly well.

Disposable but fun
Revisado: 11-23-23
It's fun to listen to stories about wokists getting what they deserve, and mister Pardoe seems to have a good grasp of the tired mental gymnastics that they play. Believability ridiculous phrases and justifications seem almost prescient.
But it's a popcorn story. Fun, but no deeper than the last Marvel movie.
I will fault the author for knowing very little about firearms. Also the reader for his terrible New Hampshire accent. As a bona-fide Free Stater, I was a little offended by it. We are the most intelligent state in the nation and he made us sound like bumbling hillbillies.

Historia
On a ravaged Earth, fate and circumstances bring together a disparate group of characters, including a fascist with dreams of a coup, a composer who plays his instrument with his mind, a First Lady who calls all the shots, and the world’s last practicing therapist. And they all must contend with an underclass that is beginning to ask a few too many questions, aided by a man called Loony Luke and his very persuasive pet alien.

One of PKDs least celebrated creations, still good
Revisado: 10-22-23
PKD is the master of creating detailed, intriguing sci fi dystopias, setting up some action, and then ending the story just as it gets good. Much like High Castle and Scanner Darkly, Simulacra feels unfinished. Like PKD got bored. If you want a satisfying story, look elsewhere.
But if you're okay with a story with no ending, Simulacra has brilliant ideas, great characters, and creates an interesting universe that leaves the reader wanting more. But there is no more. Sorry.

Historia
Foreign Enemies and Traitors is set in the near future in an America that is creeping steadily toward socialist tyranny, in the midst of the second Great Depression. A year after earthquakes have devastated the Tennessee Valley, survivors are resisting demands by the federal government to relocate to FEMA refugee centers. United States National Guard units have proven ineffective at forcing these survivors out of the earthquake-damaged regions, due to their reluctance to employ deadly force against fellow Americans.

Not as good as book 1, but better than 2
Revisado: 07-27-23
Book one was great because it was believable. But as the series goes, there are freak events like earthquakes in places not known for them, etc, which become important to the plot. It's not a bad book but lacks the punch of the first one, which feels like it could really happen.

Historia
If you really want to know what’s happening in the world, this is the one book you must hear now. Alex Jones is the most censored man on the planet and you should ask yourself why that is. There is a powerful authoritarian takeover in process that is seeking to capture the entire human system and turn it into an artificial factory farm controlled system. We are in a war for the future of the world. In this book, you will hear from the world’s elites, from their own mouths, what they are planning for you and your families and you will learn what you can do to fight it.

Didn't know Alex could write. He always came off as scatterbrained to me, but not in this book! Thorough, on-topic, and well-sourced, it's pretty convincing.

Historia
Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista is a novel set in the not-too-distant future in the American Southwest, during a period of low-intensity civil war. The action takes place between Texas and California, but the story is mainly centered around New Mexico. Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista is a sequel to Enemies Foreign and Domestic, but it may be enjoyed on its own.

Not as believable as the original, but still good
Revisado: 02-15-23
The great thing about the first novel was that it felt like it could happen. This one reads more like an action movie script. It's fun, but needs a bit of salt.

Overrated
Revisado: 12-22-22
I've heard that this is widely considered the greatest novel of all time, and having read it, I think that's pseudointellectual midwit parroting of some professor who heard it from their professor who heard it from their professor...
I've asked people what's so great about it and haven't heard a convincing argument.
Here's my take: it's a bunch of poor Russians whining about their situation in life, gossiping in extremely unrealistic run-on monologues, unneccessary conversations, forced filler, overly emotional weak characters, and on top of all that, it isn't even particularly well written (though of course this is translated, so perhaps it's better in Russian).

Spoiler Alert, but you should probably know before you begin that if you're expecting to understand all the mysteries that they tease you with constantly, you will be left wanting.

Horrible boring long unscientific trash
Revisado: 10-06-21
Nothing happens. I wanted a story about colonizing Mars. That's what the first book was about! Since then nothing happens! Skip books 2 and 3. Not worth your time. Also, I took physics at university for my engineering degree. I'm not some particle physicist, but a know enough to say with certainty that most of the science, perhaps except the geology, is wrong.
And the author uses it as a vessel for her backward affection for communism and irrational hatred of patriarchy. Just kinda crams it in there, making all the characters who agree with her intelligent, and all the characters who might be able to explain why political systems turned out as they did, dunces.
Weird feminist self validation fantasy. The only reason I finished it is because I'm OCD about all the books in my library being marked "finished" before i move on.
Oh and if you are reading because you're interested in Mars Sci Fi, be warned that a large portion of this book is like a bad romance novel on earth. Greece and France. With no sci fi elements at all. Taking walks in the olive terraces and Vineyards.

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words! This must-read is also a must-listen!

The reality of communism...
Revisado: 04-03-21
... presented in the form of a children's story, albeit no less crushing when the characters go through the nightmarish dystopia that is communism. Nightmarish, except to the pigs anyway, but some animals are more equal than others, or so I've read on the barn wall.
