Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
With its outrageous brand of conservative talk, The Neal Boortz Show has been one of talk radio's hottest commodities for more than 25 years. Boortz entertains his rabid followers with commentary on everything from corruption in Washington to the troops overseas. Now, with Somebody's Gotta Say It, Neal gives us his greatest jeremiad yet: a hilarious but serious-as-taxes screed covering all the issues that get Neal and his millions of listeners hot under the collar on a daily basis.

Story5 out of 5 stars 9,069
Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes listeners to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan.

What did you love best about Elon Musk?
Very focused and driven, the man is ruthless he knew how to bring the right people together. When he saw things not in line with his idea and work ethics they were gone. He also sent some packing when he was the problem. A number of people got a raw deal.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 218
With the Soviet Union's launch of the first Sputnik satellite in 1957, the Cold War soared to new heights as Americans feared losing the race into space. The X-15 Rocket Plane tells the enthralling yet little-known story of the hypersonic X-15, the winged rocket ship that met this challenge and opened the way into human-controlled spaceflight. Drawing on interviews with those who were there, Michelle Evans captures the drama and excitement of, yes, rocket science.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 679
747 is the thrilling story behind "the Queen of the Skies" - the Boeing 747 - as told by Joe Sutter, one of the most celebrated engineers of the 20th century, who spearheaded its design and construction. Sutter's vivid narrative takes us back to a time when American technology was cutting-edge and jet travel was still glamorous and new. With wit and warmth, he gives an insider's sense of the larger than life-size personalities - and the tensions - in the aeronautical world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 884
"Houston, we've had a problem here." On the evening of April 13, 1970, the three astronauts aboard Apollo 13 were just hours from the third lunar landing in history. But as they soared through space, two hundred thousand miles from earth, an explosion badly damaged their spacecraft. With compromised engines and failing life-support systems, the crew was in incomparably grave danger.

Could of been better
Reviewed: 12-10-17
If you could sum up Thirteen in three words, what would they be?
The actions of the flight team and astronauts was no failure. The actions taken showed just how outstanding and level-headed they were. No one gave up, I was a young teenager hanging onto each and every action till splashdown.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Thirteen?
The description of the damage seen when the service module was jettisoned. The confirmation when the lunar burn and acquisition of the Apollo signal.
Which scene was your favorite?
Knowing the main shutes opened and they were returning home alive
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
SPLASHDOWN
Any additional comments?
The author didn’t capture the scope of the outstanding performance of the flight engineers, felt a negative conatation. I as a teenager those actions taken became a triumphant success out done by only Apollo 11 landing on the moon
