George Galen is a brilliant scientist, a pioneer in gene therapy. But Galen is dangerously insane. He has created a method to alter human DNA, not just to heal diseases, but also to "improve" people - make them stronger, make them able to heal more quickly...and make them compliant to his will.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

It’s the $10 million heist you’ve never heard of. In a matter of months, dozens of truckloads disappeared from American highways. But what were they carrying? Nuts. Marc Fennell takes you into a rabbit hole of crime syndicates, stolen identities and private investigators that will change the way you think about food forever. Eighty per cent of the world’s almonds are grown in the heart of California, but this journey will take you to Italy, the Spanish coast, deep under the earth and even into space.

interesting but too preachy at the end
Reviewed: 08-10-20
when he talks about the crimes and the agriculture it's interesting, but when he starts to talk about the damages he starts to preach about things and chant a basic mantra of "capitalism bad"

Could have been much better without the agenda
Reviewed: 01-06-20
The author ruins the book by inserting a lot of radical feminist agenda.
For most parts you can ignore that because the gender of the characters is or their point of view is plausible.
You can even accept the never ending list of injustice and bad things the male characters are accused of, or the narrow minded world view of the main character because in the book and for the main character this is the reality.
However while I heard the author's message at the end it ruined it all, I felt like hearing that a racist author described the bad guy as black intentionally, you didn't care what it's race was through the book but still you feel betrayed.
If you can accept the agenda of characters without taking offence the book is actually good most of the time, but even then I recommend skipping the authors message.
