Historia
"That Others May Live" is a mantra that defines the fearless men of Alaska's 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALs in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are the least known and most highly trained of America's warriors. Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe-store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero.

Unbelievable Heroism by AF Parajumpers
Revisado: 11-26-17
.An avid reader most of my life and as a retired sportswriter, writing has been a passion of mine...Now just turning 70, my eyes are that great but I love audiobooks. In the last 7-1/2 years, I’ve read nearly 300 books.
I love books about Special Operations Forces. In all my time listening to great books, I adamantly state that “Never Quit.” an incredibly in depth look at the life of a domestic and military AF Parajumper rates as the greatest story of an incredible band of heroes that has somewhat flown under the radar in relation to Special Operators.
In most humble of opinions, “Never Quit,” the full life story of Alaskan Air Force Parajumper Jimmy Settle is the best audiobook I have ever listened to...To say too much about the book would be a complete unstatement.
To Jimmy Settles and his life long compadres, you folks are the absolute “heroes of heroes” and it was my most esteemed honor to listen to your story...words can’t describe how proud I am to know men and women like you and the job y’all do Jimmy!
My 41-year-old son will be receiving your story in hardback as a cherished Christmas gift.
Thank you and your fellow Parajumpers, domestically and in wars abroad for being incredible.

Historia
A fast, gritty, durable player who could read a basketball floor as well as anyone who ever played the game, John Stockton left the NBA after 19 seasons with the Utah Jazz, holding a massive assist record, including the career mark (15,806). He also twice led the league in steals - with a career total of 3,265 - and retired as the NBA's all-time leader. And during Stockton's career, the Jazz never missed the playoffs.

A must read
Revisado: 05-11-17
Although I wasn't a giant John Stockton fan during his playing days because he and "the Mailman" defeated my Rockets so many crucial times. But I ALWAYS respected and appreciated John's talents. After reading this incredible book, I've become a tremendous fan. He is so humble and is such a great family man! It now makes me proud to have watched his entire career and the type of man he is comes though throughout the book. Congratulations John, your book is one of the best I've ever listened to.

Stirringly evocative, thought provoking, and often jaw dropping, The Operator ranges across SEAL Team Operator Robert O'Neill's awe-inspiring 400-mission career that included his involvement in attempts to rescue "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell and abducted-by-Somali-pirates Captain Richard Phillips and culminated in those famous three shots that dispatched the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

Historia
No immortal in the history of baseball retired so young, so well, or so completely as Sandy Koufax. After compiling a remarkable record from 1962 to 1966 that saw him lead the National League in ERA all five years, win three Cy Young awards, and pitch four no-hitters including a perfect game, Koufax essentially disappeared. Save for his induction into the Hall of Fame and occasional appearances at the Dodgers training camp, Koufax has remained unavailable, unassailable, and unsullied.

One of the best I've listened too....A Texan since birth, had the honor of seeing Sandy and Drysdale pitch back to back games in 1962 when I was visiting my grandma in LA. When I was 14. I have always viewed Sandy as the best ever and always will...Book and Steiner were GREAT!!!

Historia
Rick Ankiel had the talent to be one of the best pitchers ever. Then, one day, he lost it. The Phenomenon is the story of how St. Louis Cardinals prodigy Rick Ankiel lost his once-in-a-generation ability to pitch - not due to an injury or a bolt of lightning, but a mysterious anxiety condition widely known as "the Yips". It came without warning, in the middle of a playoff game, with millions of people watching. And it has never gone away.

Historia
Sports fans see Joe Buck everywhere: broadcasting one of the biggest games in the NFL every week, calling the World Series every year, announcing the Super Bowl every three years. They know his father, Jack Buck, is a broadcasting legend and that he was beloved in his adopted hometown of St. Louis. Yet they have no idea who Joe really is. Or how he got here. In Lucky Bastard, Joe takes the listener into the broadcast booth and into his childhood home. Hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking, this is a book that any sports fan will love.

Revisado: 12-09-16
I've listened to over 200 books over the last 4 or 5 years, but this audiobook may be the most enjoyable I've ever heard. I've watched and listened to Joe for many years and have enjoyed his worth. But now I see him in an entirely different light. It's almost like he a friend I could go to lunch with. He seemed so much more down to earth than I had previously thought. His story. Is fantastic, but his narration was off the chart. His voice made this book like a guy just telling you stories. He's the very best narration of an audiobook I have EVER heard. Great joy Joe, I'll give the book a 10..ready for a second installment!!!

I've listened to well over 100 + books and this may be might be my favorite of them all. Understanding how much wealth he has accumulated, I was blown away with the enormous amount of adversity Phil had to overcome.
