In a startling future that's coming closer every year, Chet Kinsman is an astronaut ace who has done everything one can in space - including commit the first murder. It's a secret he can never escape, not even on the moon, where he's head of the first U.S. lunar colony. A series of shocking yet strangely inevitable circumstances will force Kinsman to confront his hidden past and decide Earth's destiny. In a desperate countdown to nuclear annihilation, Kinsman will struggle against a deadly dilemma: if he rescues the world, he risks destroying himself.

Boring
Reviewed: 04-21-25
Just a lot of boring dialogue between characters. Book dragged on so long that I couldn’t even finish it.

After more than a century of exploring the stars, Keith Stoner returns to Earth to find that the world he has come back to does not match the one he left. The planet is suffering the consequences of disastrous greenhouse flooding. Most nations have been taken over by ultraconservative religion-based governments, such as the New Morality in the United States. With population ballooning and resources running out, Earth is heading for nuclear war.

The human race is unpredictable
Reviewed: 04-06-25
The story is male oriented with only one main female character who is self-centered and wants power at all costs. She seems to be representative of all women. Is the author a misogynist? He writes more about women by their looks than their actions and intelligence.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
After four decades in the music industry, Michael Bolton has become one the most successful musicians of our time. The Soul of it All is his backstage pass into his life lived thus far-into the venues, busses, limos, and hotel rooms of stardom, and finally into his home and heart. His story will go long and dive deep, not only into his self-proclaimed "vagabond vampire" life, but also into the belly of the beast that is the music industry, with its joys, follies, and torments.

Lists of Names
Reviewed: 07-16-14
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one I know - my friends & family are not Bolton's fans.
Has The Soul of It All turned you off from other books in this genre?
No...I would like to see Barry Manilow's biography on audible.
What didn’t you like about Michael Bolton’s performance?
The way he used lists of names of people who helped him or worked with him made it seem like he was tired of reading - frankly I was tired of listening to the lists of names & his detailed explanation of so many things he has done in the music industry.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Soul of It All?
I would tell Bolton to cut back on the number of times he brought up people's names (I don't know everyone in the recording world, so it was meaningless to me) - I can't decide if he was bragging or just trying to thank people.
Any additional comments?
The best part of the book for me was that I bought it on audio - at least I was able to listen to his voice without having to concentrate on his written words.
