    In his controversial New York Times best seller, The Roots of Obama’s Rage, Dinesh D’Souza answered the question on everyone’s mind: why is President Obama hell-bent on seeing America fail? The reason, D’Souza explained, is Obama’s fervent anticolonial ideology. Here, in his blockbuster follow-up, Obama’s America, D’Souza shows how President Obama is applying his anticolonial ideology to unmake America and turn it into a country our founders would hardly recognize.

    Cristin says: "Compelling"

    Today, nine out of 10 Americans live in places at significant risk of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorism, or other disasters. Tomorrow, some of us will have to make split-second choices to save ourselves and our families. How will we react? What will it feel like? Will we be heroes or victims? Will our upbringing, our gender, our personality - anything we've ever learned, thought, or dreamed of - ultimately matter?

    Where does The Unthinkable rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It was a winding researched thought provoking story.


    What other book might you compare The Unthinkable to and why?

    "One second after", a fictional possible day. I was pushed to start looking around and thinking, what if?


    What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

    I thought it was well rehearsed and smooth. I can not remember any flaws.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Training required, more thought on drills.


    Any additional comments?

    I wish I give another subject that needs to be written about. I would read another book.

    Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

    Cristina Hatfield says: "Quite an enjoyable read"
    "Book not set up for audio."

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Different people doing the roles would help.


    Has Redshirts turned you off from other books in this genre?

    It has made me careful, and will sample more.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Wil Wheaton’s performances?

    Nice voice, but I also enjoy the way some performers work with different voices.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    I kept looking for them, but I finally bummed out.
