Resumen del Editor
An Audiobook Original from Penguin Random House Audio
From the creator of Babylon 5 and Sense8 comes a full-cast action/adventure military audio drama set in the near future, for fans of Tom Clancy and Timothy Zahn.
International tension is rising as the Russian military forms an Eastern Alliance to create a new age of Russian supremacy. The rest of the world is scrambling for a united response.
Enter Project Earthlight.
Earthlight is a NATO operation under U.S. command based in the ultimate military high ground: space. A group of the best fighter pilots is handpicked from around the world to fly the first generation of advanced planes capable of maneuvering in the vacuum of space and inside the atmosphere.
Learning how to fly experimental planes while learning to trust their new squadron, our pilots are plunged into a high-stakes life-and-death mission with everything at risk. Can Commanding Officer Colonel Scott Dane get the other pilots on the same page in time to prevent World War III?
With cutting-edge soundscapes and an action-packed plot, EARTHLIGHT will keep listeners on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Read by Erik Braa, Pete Bradbury, Jonathan Davis, William DeMeritt, Robert Fass, Jeff Gurner, Ryan Haugen, David Lee Huynh, Mars Lipowski, Saskia Maarleveld, Kathleen McInerney, Brandon McInnis, Sean Kenin Elias Reyes, Stefan Rudnicki, Salli Saffioti, Kristen Sieh, Christopher Smith, Marc Thompson, Will Watt, Michael Ann Young, Beka Sikharulidza, Stephanie Walters Montgomery, and Robin Atkin Downes

Historia
When she’s incarcerated under the authority of a shadowy new defense act, Riley is sent to one of a growing number of American Renewal Centers (ARCs)—institutions modeled after psychiatric facilities—for mandatory reeducation. Forced therapy, involuntary medication, solitary confinement, restricted rations, and more are all in the ARC program’s bag of dirty tricks designed to break down dissidents. Give in, and you go free. Resist, and … Riley declares a one-woman war against the gaslighting and manipulation in a struggle to take down the ARC program and its white-coated collaborators.

Historia
Visions of Inequality takes us from Quesnay and the physiocrats, for whom social classes were prescribed by law, through the classic nineteenth-century treatises of Smith, Ricardo, and Marx, who saw class as a purely economic category driven by means of production. It shows how Pareto reconceived class as a matter of elites versus the rest of the population, while Kuznets saw inequality arising from the urban-rural divide. And it explains why inequality studies were eclipsed during the Cold War, before their remarkable resurgence as a central preoccupation in economics today.

Historia
Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at 30, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened souls who have decided that this will be their final journey - upon arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this world.

Historia
Five years after physicist Mark Holder discovered the Slipstream Drive in 2058, humanity reached for the stars and began to colonize the galaxy. For centuries, humans continued to populate system after system without encountering intelligent alien life. Some twelve hundred years later, after many generations of relative peace, in the year 3278, human space is invaded by a powerful and mysterious enemy. To these invaders the very concept of free will is heresy. Their crusade—to eradicate humanity. The war begins, and the fight for the survival of the human race is on.

The race to Mars had ended generations ago, pushing those seeking fame to venture beyond known borders. Major corporations battled to be first in securing resources and the future, vying for ownership of a new galaxy, akin to historical westward settlers. A single blinking red light signaled a seismic shift—a colossal deposit of zosmodious ore that eclipsed all others. The catch? It lay on an uncharted planet, Code Name Viridian. Could this audacious find reshape the course of humanity, transcending even human boundaries?

Historia
Probably no book published in the last decade has been so ambitious as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. He seeks nothing less than to account for the spread of secularism and decline of faith in the last 500 years. Now a remarkable roster of writers - including Carl Trueman, Michael Horton, and Jen Pollock Michel - considers Taylor’s insights for the church’s life and mission, covering everything from healthcare to liturgy to pop culture and politics. Nothing is easy about faith today. But endurance produces character, and character produces hope, even in our secular age.

Find a missing book. That was the job the woman in the Doc Martens gave us. Easy money, right? Only now it seems she's actually an ancient, powerful sorcerer, and the book is a Book of Power that doesn't want to be found. It wants to tear reality apart at the seams, and it'll use anyone it can to do it. So now we've got one spectacularly displeased sorcerer, a hungry, still-missing book, a dentist with bad hygiene, and a neighbourhood having some reality issues to deal with. Plus about a day before the book turns our world - and us - inside out.

Babylon five fighters terrible story
Aged like milk, this story about a multinational force fighting a rogue Russian government using babylon five style fighter jets. They're in space using scram jets. Scram jets need an atmosphere to work. They burn air! The characters are hack. Note all hot girl spens the story. Teasing milk toast man in a uninspired love story. Thankfully it's mercifully short. The shallow writing style works okay for a forty two minute network show, with actors carrying all the weight. But here the strasinsky, flaws really shine through.

Verbal and Technological Hyperbole
I am a big fan of J. Michael Straczynski’s work. Babylon 5, even after all these years, is still one of my favorite science fiction series. When I saw he had come out with an audiobook about a near-future military conflict, it was a given that I was going to spend a credit. Why wouldn’t I? It was marketed everywhere. First, my credibility. I am a huge consumer of military fiction and non-fiction with an affinity for speculations of future conflict. I have had a 20-year career as a Naval Aviator and an almost equal number of years as a maintenance test pilot. I’ve written a master’s thesis on nuclear weapons. Suffice to say, I have a bit of technical knowledge and that was my doom.
This technical knowledge kept me from enjoying the production. I finished the entire thing. I even re-listened to a few parts. I started to keep notes on errors. Then I stopped keeping notes as there were too many. Will these errors prevent a reader without close connection to the military from enjoying this short listen? Probably not. If you are a fan of wooshing noises and explosions, and I am, this could be for you.
Below are a few such examples and egregious spoilers:
Air Force pilots, in general, do not fly F-18 Hornets. The F-18 is a U.S. Navy aircraft.
Corporal is not an Air Force or Space Force rank.
A Raptor, or F-22, is a contemporary U.S Air Force fighter. In this story, it is the name of the supersecret hypersonic aero-spaceplane. Sure, the name, Raptor, is cool but why not name the hero aircraft something other than an existing aircraft.
A space battle platform? I can buy into it just like I can dig ridiculous Marvel heli-carriers. A space battle platform built in secret in a geo-synchronous orbit over the north pole. No, I cannot. Something like that would be insanely difficult to keep secret. The number of launches! The number of eyeballs just looking up! The budget lines! Americans are really good at spying on themselves.
Placing this platform in a geo-synchronous “orbit” over the north pole is an utter impossibility. The only place a geo-synchronous orbit is possible is over the equator at an altitude of about 22,000 miles. Parking something such that it is stationary over the north pole means it will fall.
The USS Vicksburg, CG-69, a Ticonderoga-class Aegis cruiser, a vessel I have landed upon, is beset while peacefully at anchor in international waters by small boats crewed by resurgent Russians. These Russians manage to disable the ship and its four LM 2500 gas turbine engines mounted on twin shafts with a missile called a Stinger. Is that the U.S. made Stinger missile, a short- range, shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile? Our hapless cruiser is damaged sufficiently that the crew is evacuated before it is scuttled. Scuttled? Only one person can scuttle a ship and that is the captain of the ship. There is so much wrong with this scenario it is difficult to begin. Cruisers do not pointlessly anchor in international waters in a warzone. The USS Cole took a thousand pound C4 hit amidships from a small boat and was still mobile. After that incident no small boat approaches a U.S. Navy warship without challenge.
The characters are cliched caricatures of fighter pilots. A hyper-aggressive commander recruits an international cadre of hyper-aggressive, super-competent pilots who screw around at hypersonic speeds. I know a good story needs drama but the production could have used a military advisor to capture a more genuine tone of how real warfighters sound and behave.
I had the sense that those involved in production just googled the word missiles and copied down all the coolest sounding names they could find.
One particular irritant is the pilot character’s constant narration of their own actions. I concede that this is a weakness of the format. Action needs to be conveyed somehow, but having sat in cockpits, I know what they sound like. They are pretty boring even when it gets exciting.
Clearly, the story and the format was not for me. I am way too much of a military and aviation nerd but there are ways drama could have been conveyed without the verbal and technological hyperbole. Google F-16 evades 6 Iraqi missiles if you want some real- world fighter pilot drama. It’s about ten minutes worth of Holy crap and heavy breathing.
Bottom line: I did not get a near future military techno-thriller story that requires a modest suspension of disbelief. I got a superhero story with all the accompanying explosions and superlatives.
Which is okay if that is what you want.

Amazing!
Started listening when it was released this morning, and soon had to choose between Earthlight or sleep. Sleep lost. Thankfully this title's one and only flaw of being three hours in length is appreciated, or I'd probably have taken it with me and still be listening this afternoon. Production is excellent and the full cast gave an extraordinary performance. To summarize in a few words - think of the experimental fighters as an early version of a B5 Starfury.

Do not drive and listen......
This was an amazing listen. Very well acted , sound effects/music were awesome. Very suspenseful I was listening as I was driving to work and stuck in traffic. Made me wish I had a Raptor to clear my way! My only complaint is that it is too short and wrapped up a little too quickly. Worth the credit!

Unforgivable technical errors
I wanted to like this book but just couldn't do it and returned it halfway through. From the insubordinate behavior from "elite" pilots to the author using anti aircraft missiles to try and sink a ship I just couldn't do it anymore. I loved Babylon 5 and hoped this would be in the same light but when you use the real world suspending disbelief is much harder.

disappointing
I'm a real fan of Michael strachinski, however I was very disappointed with this piece. the dialogue in particular was very cliched and the plot was just string together all the standard Moments One expects from a action combat movie. I'm so used to Michael giving us something more thoughtful that this is a true disappointment.

Not JMS's Best
JMS is a fantastic writer, from The Real Ghostbusters to Babylon 5 to the couple of recent books he has put out. Alas, this must be the exception that proves the rule. beyond the cliche dialog, it exposed one of his weaknesses: handling military and scientific jargon. it showed up now and again in B5 but could usually be ignored since it involved a fictional military organization a couple of hundred years in the future. When set in the present, yikes. I had to stop at the secret carrier built in a low Earth geosynchronous orbit over the North Pole (impossible) somehow built in secret.
