As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

Great fictionalized story of what it took to fight the evils of war. In honor of so many unnamed heros of the past.

Convicted criminal James Griffin-Mars is no one's hero. In his time, Earth is a toxic, abandoned world, and humans have fled into the outer solar system to survive, eking out a fragile, doomed existence among the other planets and their moons. Those responsible for delaying humanity's demise believe time travel holds the key, and they have identified James, troubled though he is, as one of a select and expendable few ideally suited for the most dangerous job in history.

Not a very good story. it should have been concluded in one book, but ends before conclusion. I will not be getting the second book since you know what the end should be halfway through book 1.

Never read this series before
Reviewed: 03-09-21
I purchased this because it sounded interesting. I completely missed that it was part of a series. So I felt a bit rushed and too much was going on in the beginning. Which is what made me look in to the book and I discovered it's book #23. I got annoyed and debated dropping it, but was already a third of the way through.
I ended up sticking to it and once you get over feeling like you should know the main characters in the beginning, I felt like I wasn't missing too much for the story line in the book. I really enjoyed it and I plan to go back and start at book 1. But I would say you could read this as a stand alone as well.

Romance novel disguised as sifi
Reviewed: 02-05-21
I only continued to the second book because I had purchased the 2 books on a buy one get one free deal. It's just awful. if you want a character who keeps swooning over the male love interests in the book, is is great. Otherwise save you money.
I have read better written female leads by male authors. I have to admit the story starts out interesting the first half of Archetype but quickly becomes predictable and her internal monolog becomes one dimensional.
The reader is good though.

Emma wakes in a hospital, with no memory of what came before. Her husband, Declan, a powerful, seductive man, provides her with new memories, but her dreams contradict his stories, showing her a past life she can't believe possible: memories of war, of a camp where girls are trained to be wives, of love for another man. Something inside her tells her not to speak of this, but she does not know why. She only knows she is at war with herself. Suppressing those dreams during daylight hours, Emma lets Declan mold her into a happily married woman and begins to fall in love with him.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,516
The Indignities of Being a Woman candidly traces the history of womanhood and investigates how much things have really changed for womankind. By carefully x-raying areas such as body image, marriage, mental illness, fashion, and politics, this audiobook examines what it was like to be a woman in the past versus what it’s like now, when women are constantly told equality between the sexes exists but reality proves otherwise.

Insert Political Joke Here

Things haven't changed
Reviewed: 02-26-20
It seems we keep saying, things are so different and we can do whatever we want as women now. But is it really when you realize the Me Too movement was just over a year ago and it was some how "shocking" to everyone. this book just summarizes what we already know as women and gives you historical events and laws that have kept us where we are. And points out, there have been women fighters asking us to stand on their shoulders but we don't. It is tragic that we can do so much, as humans but never get very far, as women.

What’s in a name? A lot. The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine. And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do.

After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.

Adventurous fiction
Reviewed: 01-29-20
Love the story so far. great telling of it as well. just had a few issues with pronunciations of words names but they aren't common in western cultures so understandable. however, this might be better read by someone of indian heritage since it took me 90% of the way through before I figured out some of the meanings of the words in Hindi since I couldn't distinguish if author made up the terms or were rooted in real language. But over all I am hooked.

Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. As a Protector, he devoted his life to upholding the Law, rooting out those who still practiced the old ways and delivering justice with his ancestor blade Angruvadal. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. His brutality was legendary and celebrated. But soon Ashok learned that his life to that point had been a lie. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. He had been nothing more than an unwitting pawn in a political game.

an exciting story
Reviewed: 01-29-20
This series is very exciting, hardly any lulls in the plot line. so much going on. it has political plot lines with multiple people trying to manipulate situations and and adventure. I just have had a bit of an issue with pronunciations of words, mostly because western cultures aren't used to the terms. it probably will only bother people who know Hindi or similar languages.
