Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide by Miranda Devine

 

5 out of 5 stars  *****

A story of intrigue and international excess, clandestine deals make certain countries richer and create world class moguls out of particular families. This story is authored by the characters who text, email, and record one another on the Laptop from Hell. Miranda Devine provides some documented histories of the main characters which meshes with their behavior choices. This brings a human consideration to light in the global stage where pressure persists to produce for the right people or suffer grave consequences. Great sums of money and its waste occupy much of this story's revelations. Opinions are bound to change after learning what is on this interesting, yet sad, Laptop from Hell.

Infinite 2 (Infinite #2) by Jeremy Robinson (Goodreads Author), R.C. Bray (Narrator)

 

5 out of 5 stars  *****

The space adventure that involves the fate of mankind continues in the universe of science and improbable circumstances. Sentient entities and programmed scenarios create much of the drama that fills the void in the protagonist's trek through space.

Jeremy Robinson's imagination and knowledge of scientific methods enable this epic tale to be possible but not probable. The science is so advanced that the question, "Who is God?" arises but remains unanswered. Overall, Robinson's talent as a writer keeps his audience suspended in a thrilling quest for a peaceful happy ending in the infinite. 

Infinite by Jeremy Robinson (Goodreads Author), R.C. Bray (Narrator)

5 out of 5 stars  *****

A Science Fiction story as epic as the universe.  Time and great distance are key elements in space travel necessitating man and machine's cooperation.  <u>Infinite</u> addresses the ill fate of mankind from Earth and Martians from Mars unless a mission to find and colonize an acceptable planet is successful.  The author, Robinson, expands the capabilities of his characters to allow an infinite number of possible scenarios. What transpires is Jeremy's eloquent, plain-spoken tale that lives and dies just to rejuvenate and repeat.  Philosophical questions knit each sequence of events involving everything human and everything else

Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon are discussed in bible study using this study guide as a reference for discussion.  The Apostle Paul writes of friendship and its foundation in love.  Paul also denotes the significance of free will to choose friendship over ownership which demonstrates one's willingness to genuinely love as Jesus Christ shows by His death on the cross for everyone's sins.  A major theme throughout the study is Thanksgiving, recognizing God as the One Supreme Being who makes us out of love in His likeness.  Paul never demands using his religious authority but, rather, requests spiritual maturity in humility and praise of God, obedient to His will is one's ultimate goal.

 

Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Volume 1: Prodigal Son

 

5 out of 5 stars  *****

Frankenstein's Monster is a worldwide celebrity in the Science Fiction, Horror, and Literature world. Mary Shelly writes supposedly the first Science Fiction novel published in 1818.  Frankenstein: Prodigal Son is Dean Koontz's contemporary monster related to Shelly's creation.  Koontz imagines a series of monsters assembled over time, one line differing from another by the mad doctor's improvements. Ultimately, the new and improved monsters are to replace humans as the dominant life group in the world. The monsters begin to grasp their own powerful abilities and life and death, creation, God, and morality become factors to consider.

The body of Frankenstein versions on paper and film is great. Frankenstein: Prodigal Son is a spinoff that stays true to Shelly's genre masterpiece while entertaining with a new story. Koontz develops interesting characters who surround and support the lead roles. Though the monster is not his original creation, his created scenarios intrigue the minds of readers and listeners in a unique Koontz fashion.

The Madness of Crowds (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #17) by Louise Penny (Goodreads Author)

 

5 out of 5 stars  *****

A full and rich story about a controversial issue during a contemporary time in a Canadian setting. First, there is a murder attempt in a crowded auditorium; then later, a murder among likely suspects. This opens the door for a host of interesting characters with fascinating backgrounds. The art of detective work is intelligently demonstrated by the protagonist. All facets of intertwined relationships including ethics, emotions, and duty are woven into the story's framework. The author writes with continuity of thought, action, and outcome that are logical though veiled. Reading/listening is a pleasure as mystery navigates through human conditions present in today's world. An excellently written murder mystery that dares to posture morality against statistics and their possible interpretations.
