Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
Mythology, mystery, and a monster. It’s October 1920. On Floodwood Pond, deep in the heart of the Adirondacks, two scientist argue as they paddle in search of long-lost Native American artifacts. They are both members of the prestigious Strabo society, but that’s where their similarity ends. Anthony Cardonas is a rigidly self-righteous old-school explorer with political ambitions who becomes increasingly frustrated with the starry-eyed mysticism of his younger companion, Alistair Wulver.

Good story, winds across several continents and beliefs.
Pete also provides the soundtrack, switching between some esoteric instruments during chapter transitions, keeping the themes.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,657
Bernard Cornwell, the New York Times best-selling "reigning king of historical fiction" (USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet - the heroic tale of Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic Henry V is the background for this breathtaking tale of heroism, love, devotion, and duty from the legendary author of the Richard Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales.

Not for the faint-of-heart language-wise, but a great read. A Cleaned up version should be just as good.
Had me Googling previous battles such as Edward III foray into Normandy and other similar battles. Enjoyed the Epilog , tied it all in. Being of Welsh origin I enjoyed the references back to the Homeland. Even learned a little bit more about Owain

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9,834
The daughter of a Legion war hero, fighting was in Andien Broxin's blood. But the battles Republic marines face on strange and alien worlds are a far cry from the vaunted, brutal, no-holds-barred conflicts fought at the edge of the galaxy by the elite legionnaires. Until a devastating war erupts right in the Republic’s stellar backyard. Newly stationed on a mid-core planet being harassed by terrorist revolutionaries, Andien and her fellow “hullbusters” find themselves right in the middle of a desperate fight for survival.

thought maybe because it was based off world it might be interesting, but it might as well have been a western or World War II or Korea. Not that I got anything against jarheads. just after it got passed being on a different planet and in the future the story was kind of cliche Warfare.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 218
During the winter solstice, on the shortest day and longest night of the year, the ancient burial chamber at Newgrange is empowered. Its mystifying source is a haunting tale told by locals. Professor O’Kelly believes an archaeologist’s job is to make known only what can be proved. He is undeterred by ghost stories, idle speculation, and caution. Much to the chagrin of the living souls in County Meath. As well as those entombed in the sacred darkness of Newgrange itself. They’re determined to protect the secret of the light, guarded for more than 5,000 years.

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.

very enlightening about food and its source as well as rethinking ideas like commodity pricing and shipping and how that affects not only the quality but the prices of our food. I will look at that pistachio the same way again
