Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

Riveting read that masterfully blends scientific intrigue with pulse-pounding action
Revisado: 07-26-24
"Eruption" by Michael Crichton and James Patterson is a riveting read that masterfully blends scientific intrigue with pulse-pounding action. Set against the backdrop of an impending volcanic disaster, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Crichton's signature ability to weave complex scientific concepts into the narrative is evident, making the plot both educational and thrilling. Patterson's influence shines through in the brisk pacing and tight, suspenseful chapters. The characters are well-drawn, particularly the protagonist, whose determination and intellect drive the story forward. While some plot twists may be predictable for seasoned thriller readers, the overall execution and gripping nature of the tale make it a must-read. It's a dynamic collaboration that leaves you eagerly anticipating what might come next. Four out of five stars!

The second book in a three-volume collection, The World of Lore: Wicked Mortals tells the incredible true stories of some of the mortals who achieved notoriety in history and folklore through horrible means. Monsters of this sort - serial killers, desperate criminals, and socially mobile people with a much darker double life - are, in fact, quite real.

They live in shadows - deep in the forest, late in the night, in the dark recesses of our minds. They're spoken of in stories and superstitions, relics of an unenlightened age, old wives' tales, passed down through generations. Yet no matter how wary and jaded we have become, as individuals or as a society, a part of us remains vulnerable to them: werewolves and wendigos, poltergeists and vampires, angry elves and vengeful spirits.

Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness.

Thought provoking snarky look into libertarianism
Revisado: 07-18-23
A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling is an eye-opening and incredibly thought-provoking read that explores the power of unconventional ideas in solving real-world problems. This captivating narrative of a small New Hampshire town's struggle with bear encounters, and the ensuing clash of ideologies, is both entertaining and educational.
Hongoltz-Hetling has masterfully woven together an unforgettable tale that delves deep into the libertarian philosophy. He skillfully presents the perspectives of those who hold contrasting viewpoints, creating a balanced and fair analysis of the challenges faced by the community. The author presents his findings with a sense of empathy, offering readers an opportunity to understand the motivations behind different approaches to governance.
One of the greatest strengths of this book is Hongoltz-Hetling's compelling storytelling ability. He manages to turn what could have been a mundane subject into an engaging narrative filled with humor, suspense, and fascinating characters. The anecdotes of bear encounters and the locals' efforts to tackle the issue provide a gripping backdrop for a broader exploration of libertarianism's merits and pitfalls.
What particularly resonated with me was the author's willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and dig deeper into the complexities of libertarianism. Through the charismatic personalities he introduces, such as the optimistic libertarian activist Richard Bailey, the practical town attorney David Bownes, and the sensible wildlife biologist Ben Kilham, the author exposes the merits and limitations of libertarian ideals. This nuanced approach allows readers to explore these ideas without being swayed by any preconceived notions.
Moreover, Hongoltz-Hetling's research is impressively thorough, evident in the wealth of historical context and expert insights provided throughout the book. He explores the broader ramifications of the bear problem, connecting it to deeper socio-political issues that extend beyond one small town's predicament. This broader perspective adds depth and richness to the narrative, making it a highly informative read.
Overall, A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear is an engaging and thought-provoking book that combines storytelling with compelling analysis. It offers a valuable and fresh perspective on libertarianism while shedding light on pragmatic approaches to governance. Whether you're passionate about political ideologies, wildlife preservation, or simply enjoy a captivating tale, Hongoltz-Hetling's book is a highly recommended read.
