Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Strong start. With each new cliffhanger, the edge of the seediness decreases. Not a climactic end but it’s entertaining enough.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,402
On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.

Story5 out of 5 stars 127
Time correspondent Simon Shuster chronicles the life and wartime leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing rooms of his variety show in Ukraine to the muddy trenches of his war with Russia. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and eye-opening story of the President’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience.

The author was well positioned to tell this story. His skill and access make the story meaningful, and compelling.

If you are looking for an opportunity to know the leader of Ukraine, this is a good book. It’s hard to put it down, even though the material as much of the reality of the situation in Ukraine is difficult to hear.

High word count, low yield.

This reminds me of three cups of tea. Motivational minion gathering, that turned out to be a big baloney story. Did you know there are better books out there about personal finance? There really are. I recommended finding one that has a higher ratio of truth and useful information. This dude loves to hear his own voice so much he looses track of what he believes in.
