Tanner Hughes was raised by his grandparents, following in his grandfather’s military footsteps to become an Army Ranger. His whole life has been spent abroad, and he is the proverbial rolling stone: happiest when off on his next adventure, zero desire to settle down. But when his grandmother passes away, her last words to him are find where you belong. She also drops a bombshell, telling him the name of the father he never knew—and where to find him.

La historia de un pueblo que a pesar de la segregación, la diáspora y el holocausto ha sabido conservar su identidad y su unión religiosa. Este audio libro nos descubre la historia de uno de los pueblos más complejos en la historia universal. Perseguidos a lo largo de la historia en todos los países en los que se asentaron, los judíos han vivido siempre en minoría con respecto a las otras grandes religiones, y aun así, han sabido conservar sus señas de identidad y mantener un poder estratégico en aquellos países en los que han habitado.

Resumir 6000 años de historia en un poco mas de 8 horas no es tarea fácil. Para mi ha sido muy esclarecedor, especialmente la parte de los judíos sefaraditas y la situación en España y Portugal, de hecho, encontré este libro después de una visita al antiguo barrio judío en Lisboa; la guía nos contó la historia y yo quise saber más; este libro me dio las repuestas.
La descripción y detalles del holocausto es muy buena y ajustada a la realidad que me contaron mis abuelos y mi padre, que fueron sobrevivientes de los campos de concentración.
La locución es pobre, monótona y sin inflexiones, casi parecía leída por una máquina y no un humano, si no fuera porque me interesaba la historia hubiese abandonado el libro muy rápido. Por otro lado, nos es fácil leer tablas y gráficos, y tampoco la pronunciación de muchos de los nombres de lugares apellidos de personas. Pienso que en el caso de las tablas o listados habría que buscar una forma mas ingeniosa de leerlos o resumirlos en palabras.
El final del libor donde lista descendientes famosos de los judíos me pareció que está de sobra.

Waitress and single mom Jessica “Jessie” Mann is practical to a fault. Even if she had time to date, which she doesn’t, she’d be determined to provide her son with a more secure upbringing than the one she had - and that would mean a husband with big bucks. When Jack Morrison - a sexy-as-sin, seemingly broke customer with a cowboy hat and a seductive grin - tries to flirt with her, she shoots him down.

When you read a lot and in several languages,you discover coincidences! This book is one of them:
There is a book in Spanish called Un Capricho del Destino [A Quirk of Fate] by Kristel Ralston. The plots are identical, the only difference is that in one the protagonist is a waitress and instead of having a brother, she is a single mother. It is so the same as the gallant carved wood and there was a temporary employee in one of his hotels ... they are so similar that even the partner of the gallant is a lesbian. Is it the original or is it the copy?

¡Cuando uno lee mucho y en varios idiomas, descubre casualidades! Este libor es una de ellas:
Hay un libro en inglés que se llama Not Quite Dating Not Quite Series, Book 1 de Catherine Bybee. La trama es idéntica, la única diferencia es que la protagonista es una mesonera y en lugar de tener un hermano, es madre soltera. Es tan igual que el galán tallaba madera y se hiso pasar por empleado temporal en uno de sus hoteles… son tan parecidas que hasta la socia del galán es lesbiana. ¿Es la copia o es el original?

Professional “cleaner” Jonathan Quinn has a new client and an odd job: Find and remove the remains of a body hidden 20 years ago inside the walls of a London building, before the building is demolished. But Quinn and his team are being watched. Suddenly caught in the cross fire between two dangerous rivals, Quinn must unravel the identity of the body and why it still poses so great a threat even in death. Because a plot stretching from the former Soviet Union to Hong Kong, from Paris to London, from Los Angeles to Maine, is rapidly falling apart.

It is hard for me to tell what is better, the story or the performance. This is one of the best narration I heard from Scott Brick.
The only problem with this series is that read a book in a weekend almost not sleeping until I finish!
Already downloading the next in the series.

This book was an enjoyable surprise!
A new author that is at the same time a senior person with a scientific background and magic background created an incredible novel that combines well-documented science fiction thriller, love story, magic mystery, conspiracy theories, and police action. The co-author, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, is one of the best science fiction writers of our times. The result is an amazing book. Richard Ferrone performance is outstanding!
I listened to the complete book in one full day. I was unable to put it down until the end.
I am just buying the kindle version to give it as a present to my son that also loves magic and lives in Chicago!
I hope to read more of this.

Looking forward for the next book in the series.

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

Jazz Bashara es una criminal... O al menos lo parece. La vida en Artemisa, la primera y única ciudad de la Luna, es difícil si no eres un turista adinerado o un multimillonario excéntrico. Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler.

Interesting sci-fi and economics theory book
Reviewed: 04-02-18
Artemis is an excellent entertainment sci-fi book. I liked the scientific contents as it was very well documented and explained, but I have not seen in any review comments about the economics theory trying to tell that pure capitalism without controls can divert to and authoritarianism controlled by the mafias. In the end, all the history was to avoid a mob-controlled government for the city.
I listened to the Spanish version of the book, and the narration was good. I prefer neutral accent than the Spain accent

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.
