dumb and cheesy
Reviewed: 03-24-24
The scenarios are ludicrous ad characters are even worse. In one, author gives a malnourished 20 year old boy (Johnny Good Boy (yes seriously)) the strength to choke out a 500 lb wild pig, right after he kills another one by slicing it's throat. (that's not how you kill a pig with a knife btw). The characters are cheesy. as hell. He gives these ultra high tech aliens the silliest and most unlikely human-like personalities. Impossible to take it seriously.

Good to Go is Constance's powerful, firsthand account of his three tours of duty as a member of America's most elite, razor-sharp stealth fighting force. It is a breathtaking memoir of harrowing missions and covert special-ops - from the floodplains of the Mekong Delta to the beaches of the South China Sea - that places the listener in the center of bloody ambushes and devastating firefights. But Constance's extraordinary adventure goes even farther - beyond 'Nam.

Bullshit novel for people that haven’t been in the military. Maybe he forgot what happened and decided to make shot up, but there were so many inconsistencies obvious exaggerations, and things that were just wrong about how weapons work. Could not get past chapter 8.

Reviewed: 05-17-22
“He” constantly calls CIA officers “agents”, calls 5.45 mm bullets “large caliber” and call scuba air tanks “oxygen tanks”. No one with even a tiny amount of knowledge of these subjects would make such amateur mistakes. Laughable. Too bad because the reader is decent

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

Hilarious! convicts "scientists" of dishonesty
Reviewed: 07-24-19
wow, this is a fun read, but shocking in its admission of the dubious nature and totally unscientific approaches of so many "scientists". Written by a true-believer in the religion of Darwinism/evolution theory/humanism, etc, it chronicles a naked confession that all the theories of who we are and how we got here are almost completely unscientific, in the true sense of the word. The State approved archeologist, astronomers, paleontologists, and even biologists who developed the new religion of the State, Evolutionism, were so nakedly biased, and incapable or unwilling to approach their fields without foregone conclusions, the whole community shoukd be ashamed! Only physicists even attempt to be honest, but they are so unsure of anything, that they really cannot agree on much. It would be funny if it were not so tragic. There is so much evidence they ignore, they cannot be taken seriously. they approach everything already "knowing" the conclusion. Check out Brien Forester or Kent Hovind if you enjoy honest researchers and thinkers who actually use the scientific method.

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

Story
The wisdom within these pages has the power to unlock our potential as a species and establish an enduring civilization based on peace, self-ownership, and nonviolence. You, as a free, beautiful, independent human being with inalienable rights, own yourself! You can do what you want with your own body and the product of your labor. All human interactions should be free of force and coercion, and we are free to exercise our rights, limited only by respect for the rights of others. Governments rely on force, and force is a poor substitute for persuasion.

some good points and ideas
Reviewed: 02-12-19
while Kokesh makes some excellent points, he also makes some logical errors, in my opinion. hes a brilliant guy, and has obviously read some of the greatest authors on freedom and liberty, but many of these ideas rely much too heavily on the supposed good nature of mankind. much like the United States Constitution, of which Jefferson said "for an and immoral and non- religious society, this constitution is wholly inadequate", so is the non-aggression princile wholly inadequate for maintaining glibal peace and stability. while a wonderful theory, I believe that total freedom would result in total rule by tyrants. just look at Mexico and Afghanistan for excellent examples of this. one man's opinion

Story
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of ordinary life. It makes a case that everything we know about the world is mostly decided not by rational choice but instead by conditioning and habit. And thus most people live their lives based on limiting rules and outdated beliefs about pretty much everything - love, work, money, parenting, sex, health, and more - that they inherit and pass on from generation to generation.

Sophomoric philosophy delivered with arrogance
Reviewed: 09-19-18
The author was an engineering major who just recently discovered history, philosophy and sociology, and now he thinks he's a genius. You see this with so many engineering types who stared off into space in the few humanities courses they were forced to take. Also, he's apparently just discovered basic American optimism. I wouldn't be so critical of his juvenile epiphanies if he weren't so arrogant. He refers to himself "I, me, my" etc, hundreds of times per chapter, and thinks very highly of himself. He would do well to revisit Sophocles and Euripides and Aeschylus.
