Dr. Guillen’s fact based presentation of the wins and woes of technology present a clear and direct path to the absolute destruction of our world if we are not careful. We will have to be careful about the way we move forward or every science fiction movie will be right.

These books start off the worst book of all time. Full of confusion, inconsistent voice issues, as well as straight up poor story construction makes it very hard to jump into the book. This is all saved by the end where all the bits make sense, that frustratingly makes you look forward to more.

A great continuation of the Witcher series. Expanding on the relationships, settings, and politics. From assassin's, mages, and kings, it will for sure feel like a season of Game of Thrones. This book is worth the read if you have played the games or watched the show.

This was a superb book with stories of our fight with terror groups from the 80s to just before/after 9/11 from a Counter Terrorism Agent. Frank does a immaculate job putting stories in front of you highly the thought process of each step without putting you to sleep.

This books is a great expansion to what was a fantastic movie. I really appreciate when a movie stays true to a book. The story is well thought out and what would naturally be filler or world building, I felt it wasn't so bad that I wanted to skip ahead. I felt like I wanted to know more.

Throughout history, there has been a desire rise above ones emotions. Both the religious and non-religious look to take action in their lives, but it is when we are controlled by the energy that we lose our ability to be in control.

This book is a good read on a meditation method that stems from Japanese martial arts. For new meditators, it does a great job of laying out the steps and reasons why those steps are important for you to train with.

So this book was ok. To be frank, I had an issue with understanding some of the issues going on with the book because of the pronoun choice. Not making any political statements, but the use of the pronoun "They" made the book very confusing for me.

This book does a fantastic job of presenting ways that you can rethink where you are in your career and the steps you can take to move where you want to go. Beyond all of that, the stories he tells and the questions he ask of those in the stories have already made me make changes.

This book is an EXTREMELY academic view of the creation of Rome and its Emperors to a certain point. The book is broken down like a college course where you jump back and forth through centuries based on the topic of conversation.

This book has an interesting take on the history of the Catholic church that I feel could be plausible. I am not saying that there is a secret cabal of people in the church trying to become immortal, but I will say that priest are human like everyone else.

This book does a great job with the description of technology, places, and cultures, but this book feels like a .5 in the series. For instance, the first book The Last Sword Maker has a great full story of events, where this one felt like a filler almost an entire book that is a filler episode.
