Story
The Earth’s navy is left drifting among the stars as Nyctus ships swarm, their purpose unknown as they continue their advance, burning one system after another. Humanity's extinction seems inevitable. But on one of the forgotten worlds, a boy is left behind, and he holds a talent unlike anything the galaxy has ever known. Thorn Stellers is a mage, trained to lead and fight. With a renegade division of warriors at his side, and with weapons far different from those of old Earth, Thorn has a chance at standing up to humanity's enemies.

Pretty Girls starts strong, but goes off the rails in a way reminiscent of a bad horror film. After the umpteenth time Claire acts in a manner contrary to her best interest, I had to pull the plug.
Returning book unfinished with six hours remaining.

Story
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

Michael Beck's renditions of Grisham novels rank at the top of my list of favorite audio books. The Boys From Biloxi... well... not so much.
It drags on insufferably without much drama nor a plot twist. It took me nearly a month to finish.

A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel. Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky. Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news.

Jack Carr and Ray Porter are a formidable duo. Carr's writing is spectacular, and brought into sharp focus with Porter's narration.
I burned through the entire five-book series in less than a month. Can't wait for the next one!

Were this book not read by the supremely talented Frank Muller, I would have given up on it after a few hours. I found it to be blustery and needlessly over indulgent, with a predictable conclusion.

Celebrate over 30 years of the world's most notorious rock band with the audiobook edition of The Dirt - the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Mötley Crüe. Fans have gotten glimpses into the band's crazy world of backstage scandals, celebrity love affairs, roller-coaster drug addictions, and immortal music in Mötley Crüe books like Tommyland and The Heroin Diaries, but now the full spectrum of sin and success by Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars is an open book in The Dirt.

Unexpected
Reviewed: 05-02-21
Having been entertained by the movie, I thought I would give the book a listen to get a more detailed look at the band's antics. I was not disappointed.
What I did not expect was the human side of Motley's story. Their animalistic debauchery has been well documented over the years, and I generally believed that they were above the trials and tribulations suffered by we mere mortals. This book does an excellent job telling a softer side of their story.
Vince's description of his four year old daughter's death, and how it affected him, is worth the cost of the book. I am a 6', 250 pound, tattooed blue collar roughneck, and I cried during this chapter. Hard.
It is easy to think that superstars are not real people and somehow above the fray. This book demonstrates that nobody coasts through life unscathed, regardless of fame and fortune.
Best nonfiction entertainment I have heard in a long time.
