Many great books have been written about what we should believe and why, or why the Left's beliefs are flawed, but never before has a book that shows how to do what we believe. Until now. The Left has its playbook, Saul Alinsky's infamous Rules for Radicals. Now the good guys have theirs. Endorsed by a who's who of the conservative movement, we present Rules for Patriots.

Can liberty survive in the hands of one all-powerful, unchallenged, and unelected bureaucrat? It wasn’t too long ago that the average American didn’t know who Anthony Fauci was. Now, after the coronavirus has spread nationwide, he’s arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in American history. But is it dangerous for a free society to concentrate so much power in the hands of an unelected official? Who or what holds Fauci accountable?

Reviewed: 07-17-21
This was the most thorough and researched book reviewing the last year of the power-hungry bureaucrats, chief among them was Anthony Fauci. It exposes the lies, and disinformation they have spread and highlights the alternative views and true science governments around the world have tried to silence for more than a year.
It is astonishing how quickly and easily Americans were willing to believe the lies and collapse our entire way of life.
Really good performance by Aaron as well.
So good I bought the kindle version as well just for the footnotes.

I first read this book on deployment in 2008 and the trilogy quickly became my favorite up to that point. I have recommended this trilogy and his Lightbringer Series over 100 times to friends and family. I cannot speak more highly of Mr. Weeks' writing style, imagination and ability to bring his characters to life.

I recently finished the original Sherlock adventures and was left wanting even more.
Mycroft Holmes was perfectly aligned to the spirit and adventure of the Sherlock stories and built upon the character and background which Sherlock mentioned but Sir Doyle hadn't really developed.
Mr. Jabar and Mrs. Waterhouse nailed this adventure perfectly. I have listened to it twice now and truly love the story, the tie-in to the original, and the character development. The performance was terrific in tone and tenor to what I would expect from the characters of this time and gave even more life to this adventure.

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

What it found was Kathy Castillo, a murdered MBA student brought back from the dead to serve as a Valkyrie in the Norse god's army. Given a sword and a new name, Mist's job is to recruit soldiers for the war between the gods at the end of the world - and to kill those who refuse to fight. But as the twilight of the gods descends, Mist makes other plans. Journeying across a chaotic American landscape already degenerating into violence and madness, Mist hopes to find her way to Helheim, the land of the dead.

Started off agonizingly slow but did pick up
Reviewed: 06-23-16
If I would have rated this book after the first hour or two it would have gotten a 1/2 star (if that is even possible). The book took the opening few chapters to finally find its pace and the narrator was absolutely dismal. He was so lethargic I started listening to this book when trying to fall asleep. Worked like a charm. Finally I turned up the speed of narration to about 1.20 just to keep from becoming a manic depressive myself.
But I must say after the arduous first few chapters and the droning on of Mr.Thompson, I have to say the story really picked up and became a rather entertaining novel. Even the narration became more lively after about the halfway point
If you can stick with it then it will redeem itself, to a point, by the end.
