Story4 out of 5 stars 15
The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers had discovered tens of thousands of planets and many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing was ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact, many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no ...

Promising but fails to deliver.

Promising basics surrounding this story. but the narrative creates two dimensional characters. reader sounds like a teenager forced to read from a history textbook in class

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 614
Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

One of the worst novels I have read in recent year
Reviewed: 10-23-19
The story line for this novel is paper thin. The characters are even thinner, and even the technology is poorly defined. This combined with one of the worst narrations I've ever heard made the book extremely hard to finish.

We all have the sense that the American economy - and its government - tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth.

Political falderal
Reviewed: 06-02-19
Apparently you can't teach old dogs new tricks and you can't remove politics from even the well educated and intelligent. I started this book with the intention of seriously examining a progressive economic philosophy. My own journey has taken me to a place where I distrust both right and left. I am seriously looking for new solutions to the problems that we all know exist. But I recognize that the philosophies of the last 50 or even 100 years are inadequate. However the introduction of this book was so shamelessly political, assessments of various political leaders so clearly party oriented, that I found the author had no credibility for me. It was the same old "my guys were virtuous, and the other guys were evil". This book is clearly written to bolster the opinion of those already in one camp. It does so by trotting out the usual stereotypes and insults. If you want a seriously impartial assessment of economics with a progressive agenda for change based on facts, data, technology and the evolving values and vulture of Americans, then this is not the book for you. If you want to comfort yourself with the old saws about the religious right, conservatives, voodoo economics, etc. then you will love this book and you can remain safely in your upper middle class white egalitarian, progressive cocoon. I am so disappointed that I wasted money and time on this.
