![]() It starts fast and stays that way throughout the whole book. The book is the story of how humanity discovers that not only are we not alone in the universe, there are bad aliens out there and that they are coming for the earth to not only conquer it, but to use humans as snacks. Imagine horse-sized reptiloid centaurs that think you are lunch, use advanced weaponry, and think the massed wave attack is the height of tactical finesse. Regardless, when I first read this book back in 2002 I thought then and have been subsequently proved right that there are authors out there that are just as good as Heinlein at catching the readers attention and keeping it and Ringo is one of them. It is also Ringo’s first published book if I have my facts straight. ![]() ![]() A Hymn Before Battle is the first book in Ringo’s Posleen War Series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She faces many challenges in homogenizing a group for better work production.

Ambrose does an excellent job of honoring the men and woman who were the first allied soldiers to trigger the end of "Fortress Europa," and pave the way final victory. ![]() The story isn't so much about the invasion on June 6, it is more about the men who partook in the action. Imagine training for over two years before applying your craft and still able to maintain at a "razor's edge." Many men were broken either mentally, physically or both. The years of training was brutal and tiresome. ![]() What I enjoyed the most was the training the soldiers endured to become one of the elite. The scene is well documented in the movie "The Longest Day." Remember the famous lines, "hold until relieved?" That is exactly what these men did. The book recalls the men and eventsthat allowed the British Glider and Parachute regiment to capture the all important bridge crossing the Orne and adjacent canal in order to prevent the 21st Panzer Division from disrupting and possibly defeating the landings at Sword, Juno and Gold Beach.

When He Was Wicked is the sixth novel in the Bridgertons series. Quinn made me weep, laugh and hope as these characters suffered, stumbled and discovered. When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn shares the story of notorious rake, Michael Stirling, and Francesca Bridgerton. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer-the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.īut that was then. I am continuing my journey with the Bridgertons’ on audio. ![]() ![]() For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.Īfter a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Francesca Bridgerton, in the sixth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the debate over Creative Writing 101′s maxim, “show, don’t tell,” Cusk is among the most accomplished practitioners of “tell.”Īlthough less even in execution than the trilogy, her new novel, “ Second Place,” draws on her evergreen preoccupations - the shadow of divorce, the binary of women and men, the chains of art and attraction - in a pandemic-tinged fable addressed to an off-stage character. Cusk’s recent Outline trilogy is a Didion-like achievement, so poised and philosophical that readers may miss the anguish and self-laceration beneath her limpid prose. If Ali Smith is the fiery, inventive moralist among our leading British writers and Hilary Mantel is the chronicler of sumptuous history and the contradictions of power, then Rachel Cusk is the coolly elegant cartographer of inner lives, given to restraint as Smith and Mantel are inclined to excess. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Gone Away World, the author's debut science fiction novel, deals with ex-special operatives who have been crippled by the 'Go-Away War," who are now living in a post-apocalyptic world where they struggle with "The Stuff."
