Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

Informative but ultimately unsatisfying
Reviewed: 08-03-21
just when I thought the book was finally going to give me some kind of payoff the epilog starts. this book is a long interesting journey without a satisfying end. I understand why the author won't speculate on his discoveries and theories but it's frustrating. I still consider this book a worthwhile listen and purchase.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 905
HMS Vanguard is the most powerful battleship ever to be commissioned by the Royal Navy, but she is not a happy ship. Her commanding officer is eccentric, rarely seen on the bridge; her former XO has deserted his post; and her first middy is resentful because he hasn't been promoted as he deserves.... But when a first contact mission goes badly wrong, HMS Vanguard and her crew are plunged into an interstellar war against a new and deadly alien threat.

Great story, repetitive execution
Reviewed: 05-23-19
I've loved this series from the start and most of the authors work. My only complaint is with the repetitive references used throughout each chapter. Literally every moment of inner dialogue from the main characters is peppered with call backs to what. "the bean counters" would think or whether an action would end a career. these elements are great when used peppered in sparsely but they're grossly overused through the book. A minor complaint against what is an outstanding book and series. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi war fantasy.

Great Book!
Reviewed: 02-11-19
Seoul Man is a fun and interesting summary of an American's overnight entry into South Korean business and national culture. I found the stories about the little things such as asking for someone at a table too pass the salt in Korea being considered rude versus the west where it would be impolite not to to be very interesting. The deep dive into Hyundai's journey to become a global equal in auto making to its foreign rivals interesting also. Ahrens' faith is also expressed in this book but not in a way that should turn any reader off; he simply uses his faith to describe his decision making process in regard to his family, overall attitude, and career choices. A very enlightening read.

Meet Michael Blutrich, mild-mannered New York lawyer and founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York City history, funded by the proceeds of an insurance embezzlement scheme. All Blutrich wanted was to lay low, make the club a success, and put his criminal acts behind him. But the Mafia got involved, and soon the FBI came knocking. Scores became wildly popular, in part thanks to Blutrich's ability to successfully bend the rules of adult entertainment. Unfortunately for Blutrich, it would all soon implode.

Blutrich tell a compelling true account of helping the feds bring down a notorious crime family only to be betrayed over and over. I simply couldn't stop listening.
