3577_atlantis_revelation

Publisher's Summary:

From the New York Times bestselling author of Raising Atlantis and The Atlantis Prophecy comes an explosive new international thriller jam-packed with political and prophetic intrigue.

Beneath the city of God,

A centuries-old secret awaits.

And every power on earth wants it.

The adventure begins with the wreckage of a sunken Nazi submarine and a shocking legacy of Hitler's quest for Atlantis. Archaeologist Conrad Yeats discovers in the ruins of the Third Reich the key to an ancient conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of every major government. Suddenly Yeats is plunged into a deadly race across the Mediterranean, hunted by the assassins of an international organization that will stop at nothing to ignite global Armageddon and revive an empire. And only Serena Serghetti, the beautiful Vatican linguist he loved and lost, can help him save the world from the Atlantis Revelation.

Next Item: (3576) Mack Bolan #94; Pressure Point by Don Pendleton

3576_pressure_point

Summary by Graphic Audio:

Jihad strikes the heart of Indonesia in a Vicious terrorist onslaught to seize control of the entire region. The collusion of local extremist factions and the most powerful global terrorist network has produced a formidable enemy with the means—and the will—to unleash genocide.

 

As part of covert U.S. intervention in the crisis, Mack Bolan and key Stony Man operatives are tasked with finding the terrorists' stronghold and weapons of mass destruction. But time is running out and the enemy's strategy and skill are putting the odds at zero for a successful mission.

 

Nations are under siege in a world gone insanely wrong, and Bolan is at the epicenter of the madness. But he's been there before. And there's a way out...

Next Item: (3575) The Lost Fleet Bk #7; Beyond the Frontier; Dreadnaught by Jack Campbell

3575_dreadnaught

Publisher's Summary:

The first book of best-selling sci-fi author Jack Campbell’s new series "Beyond the Frontier" returns to find Captain John “Black Jack" Geary, the hero of the "Lost Fleet" series, awoken from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet.

Geary’s legendary exploits have earned him the adoration of the people—and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing. The century-long war between the Alliance and the Syndicate Worlds may be over, but Geary and his newly christened First Fleet have been ordered back into action to investigate the aliens occupying the far side of Syndic space and to determine how much of a threat they represent to the Alliance. And while the Syndic Worlds are no longer united, individually they may be more dangerous than ever before. Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government question his loyalty to the Alliance and fear his staging a coup, so he can’t help but wonder if the newly christened First Fleet is being sent to the far side of space on a suicide mission.

William C. Dietz, the author of the "Legion of the Damned" series, calls Dreadnaught "a rousing adventure", and Elizabeth Moon, the Nebula Award-winning author of the "Vatta's War" series, says it’s “loaded with edge-of-your-seat combat". Read by Christian Rummel, who has narrated The Lost Fleet series to excellent reviews, Dreadnaught promises to be an out-of-this-world experience.

Summary by Gregg Margarite

“The Creature from Cleveland Depths” also known as “The Lone Wolf” tells the story of a writer and his wife who refuse to move below-ground after the cold-war gets hot. The underground society discovers a decline in their ability to creatively innovate, and must consult with surface dwellers to develop products that satiate the needs of a people living like moles. But the latest product to result from this alliance, “The Tickler” has frightening implications that only our heroes seem to notice. – This story appeared in the December, 1962 issue of “Galaxy” magazine.

Lady Cecelia's only apparent interest is horses—she intends to go fox hunting on the private pleasure planet of a friend of hers, Lord Thornbuckle. But events conspire to make it far more than a fox hunt. (Part 2 of 2)

3565_cole_protocol

Publisher's Summary:

In the first, desperate days of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC has enacted the Cole Protocol to safeguard Earth and its Inner Colonies from discovery by a merciless alien foe. Many are called upon to rid the universe of lingering navigation data that would reveal the location of Earth. Among them is Navy Lieutenant Jacob Keyes. Thrust back into action after being sidelined, Keyes is saddled with a top secret mission by ONI. One that will take him deep behind enemy lines, to a corner of the universe where nothing is as it seems.

Out beyond the Outer Colonies lies the planet Hesiod, a gas giant surrounded by a vast asteroid belt. As the Covenant continues to glass the human occupied planets near Hesiod, many of the survivors, helped by a stronghold of human Insurrectionists, are fleeing to the asteroid belt for refuge. They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as the Rubble - and have come face-to-face with a Covenant settlement of Kig-Yar . . . yet somehow survived.

News of this unlikely treaty has spread to the warring sides. Luckily for the UNSC, this uneasy alliance is in the path of the Spartan Gray Team, a three-man renegade squad whose simple task is to wreak havoc from behind enemy lines in any way they see fit. But the Prophets have also sent their best---an ambitious and ruthless Elite, whose quest for nobility and rank is matched only by his brutality . . . and who will do anything to secure his Ascendancy and walk the Path.

T-Mobile harassment

1687947527

Last week I canceled all my lines I had with T-Mobile. The week before I added four lines to my AT&T account, purchasing four phones.

I made a post a couple weeks ago how T-Mobile sent me a HTC HD2 as a warranty replacement. Voice command software continually crashes and therefore can't be used. t-Mobile wouldn't replace it with a different model. So I decided to switch carriers.

Now I'm getting phone calls every day, once or twice a day from T-Mobile. When I saw the 877 number I just hit ignore after they called a couple more time I answered to see who it was. At that time, I told them to stop calling, but they continue to call. I guess I'll have to file another FCC complaint against them.

Publisher's Summary:

The impossible has spawned the unthinkable. In 2021, a quantum military experiment goes horrifically wrong. A multinational taskforce of ultra-modern warships is suddenly transported back in time to 1942...right into the path of the U.S. naval battle group bound for Midway Atoll.

History is rewritten in an instant as the future smashes into the past, and high-tech hardware goes head to head with World War Two technology. In the chaos that ensues, thousands are killed, but the maelstrom has only just begun. The veterans of Pearl Harbor have never seen a helicopter, or a cruise missile - let alone nanotechnology, ceramic bullets, and F22 Raptor stealth jetfighters.

Allied and Axis forces are then caught in a desperate struggle to gain the upper hand - each hoping to tip the balance with a fist full of 21st-century firepower. What happens next is anybody's guess - and everybody's nightmare.

good action book. Mack conciences members of the mobsters that have been working with terrorist that the terrorist are just setting the mobsters up as scapegoats. The mobsters attack and take out the terrorists and Mack takes out the mobsters.

Summary by Graphic Audio:

Enemies bent on nothing less than total terror have infiltrated the U.S. government's most sophisticated defense technology. So far, Mack Bolan and the Stony Man cybernetics team have identified the terrorists, their elite hackers and their inside connection—the D.C. mafia—but haven't cracked their doomsday code.

 

Bolan goes undercover as a Mob hit man to wipe out the syndicate ties. It's a different enemy and different rules, but the game is still the same: infiltrate and destroy. But getting rid of the hired help is only the first step in preventing a campaign that could lead to the collapse of America's infrastructure.

 

Inside the highest levels of government, there is a traitor. Unlocking the front door for the enemy has earned him a free pass to eternity from the Executioner.

After a new faster star drive is invented, Hutch and associates travel to the core of the galaxy. Many adventures ensue. Great book.

As for the music interlude, this Cher album was much better than the last one I listened to. I recognized and enjoyed most of the tracks.

The Helen Reddy album was great. It contained most of her greatest hits without the title.

book draging. Starts out with an attention getting intro/prelude, and doesn't seem to go anywhere.  It just dries up.
