Isaac Cline was one of the era's new men, a scientist who believed he knew all there was to know about the motion of clouds and the behavior of storms. The idea that a hurricane could damage the city of Galveston, Texas, where he was based, was to him preposterous, "an absurd delusion." It was 1900, a year when America felt bigger and stronger than ever before. Nothing in nature could hobble the gleaming city of Galveston, then a magical place that seemed destined to become the New York of the Gulf.

Publisher's summary
His book focuses in particular on the extraordinary 60s, a decade that began in glory for the family with Jack's ascension to the presidency, and ended - after the murders of Jack and Bobby, the tragedy at Chappaquidick, and their father's death - with Teddy, the last brother, standing alone in the rubble of Camelot.
While The Last Brother is both shocking and newsworthy, Teddy Kennedy emerges as a curiously tragic figure, the victim of his own family, forever "the fat, awkward little boy" who was ignored by his siblings, his father and his mother, then propelled, unwilling and unprepared, into the public limelight. Searing, yet strangely moving and even sympathetic, The Last Brother presents a detailed, tragic portrait of a man at war with himself, doomed to live in the giant shadow of his brothers, trapped in the glorious but hollow Kennedy myth, longing - but unable - to escape.

Now complete with personal revelations of one of the key players, this is the savage story that leaves no corpse unturned in its terrifying telling.

Story
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Unexpected-Riveting Insight into The Kennedy Saga
Would you listen to The Last Brother again? Why?
I just did in a way. I have a first edition hardcover copy. I read it many years ago. I was riveted to it then & became a Joe McGinniss fan. It was just as amazing if not more so this "read." It is touching. One hurts. One resents what power can cover-up. Yet the brother that was never the one, Edward, shows through here. Admittedly as a young man which makes his future all-the-more touching/fascinating knowing how hard & long he worked and went on for the betterment of the country through his congressional role. As well after the book was written we know that Ted matured into a strong male figure for the younger members of the ill-fated family. (Yes with some more Kennedy screw-ups, but ultimately he became quite a man and through this author's eyes, we can glean a sense of the family-law he had to overcome to do so. The Chappiqquiddic Scandal is told in a thrilling manner as many forensic shows/books of today. Yet the book never makes judgements, does not present any hypothesis it then struggles boorishly to support. I do understand why the Kennedy's did not authorize this biographical book about Edward Kennedy, yet I suspect privately they admire the work.
What did you like best about this story?
From start to finish, without any hyper-charged "story," it is one of those biographies that seems to allow the reader access to the inner-workings of the covered person. That sense builds. The book does not sensationalize the Chappiqquiddic mystery. Yet it does lend some insight into it. And as horrific as it was in many ways (as was the way) I had some empathy for Ted. He had to face Joe! His whole life was about outrageous expectations under the mantra that "Kennedy's do not fail."I think I forgot how much younger he was than Jack. The baby of the family. Too bad there could not have been a part II of his life by McGinniss.And the book mentions the JFK assassination & burial procession, but for the only time I have read or heard it, quite fascinatingly and intimately from Ted's experience of it.
Have you listened to any of Cotter Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not to my knowledge however I liked him very much.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Page one through the last page.
Any additional comments?
It may not sound exciting. It is a part of history, a frequently omitted part of the Kennedy .... What? Myth? And it managed as well to be something of a thriller without vilifying The Last Brother. It tells the story and pain is felt.

Worth reading as ONE input into the Kennedy legacy
After completing Ted Kennedy's autobiography, a fascinating albeit sacharin perspective on the history of the Kennedy's in world events, I was intrigued enough to want to get another perspective on this remarkable clan. Joe McGinniss' book was, if this is possible, more anti-Kennedy than "True Compass" was the sugar-coated version. As a pair, they were an excellent insight into this important and fascinating clan, from Joe to Teddy and everything in between, and their significant role in history. At the end, you stillo won't know exactly what it was--but there really is no 'truth' when it comes to history, just perspective

Fan of Joe McGinnis work....normally.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I expected more. I really just did not care for this book at all.
If you’ve listened to books by Joe McGinniss before, how does this one compare?
My least favorite. I have read all his books.
What about Cotter Smith’s performance did you like?
Just thought he did a nice job.
Could you see The Last Brother being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Not at all.
Any additional comments?
Wish I hadn't bought it. I was always confident in this authors work. I knew whatever the subject I would enjoy reading/listening. Now I'm not so sure. Will continue to buy his books, but I won't expect as much as I did
