![]() He knows how to make us readers to get involve with the characters and their plight but at the same time to rip roar to the violence dished by that same character which in normal life we’ll be horrified to even think about it. In my opinion this is one of the weakest novels of the author because I always enjoyed his work and constantly recommends to many people who are new to this genre. This novel starts with the aftermath of US president getting assassinated by unknown individuals and falsely framed James Reece getting arrested for that. Although there is no way I will ever read one of the books and picture Katie as Constance Wu.įinally I’ve finished Only the Dead novel by Jack Carr. ![]() If you like the book(s), you will also enjoy his podcast, and of course the Terminal List TV show, which is great. To sum up why this author and this book are so great after reading it I’m left with the thought that if I could sit down and have a conversation with one living person, Jack Carr would be at the very top of my list. There are very few writers that can entertain and educate well simultaneously, but Carr has that innate ability. They never make me feel as if he wants me to believe the same thing he does, but instead that he wants his readers to educate themselves, and form educated opinions on their own, and if you pay attention every book includes suggestions for other books, both fiction and non-fiction. Somehow through works of fiction he conveys who he is, what he values, and how he thinks and views the world in a way that makes you think, while at the same time doesn’t feel like proselytizing. Jack Carr has a style of writing that personally I love. As he does his best to finish what his father started in the shadows of Vietnam, he uncovers an audacious plot that could alter the worlds pecking order permanently. There are people who will do anything to keep him quiet and from uncovering truths that date back over 50 years, including threatening the well being of those he cares most about, and if you have read even one of the Terminal List books you know that the carnage wrought by Reece will be absolute, and in this he does not disappoint. He is imprisoned in a manner that would drive not just weaker men, but MOST men to insanity.Īfter several months Reece is able to find his way out, and is enraged. Only The Dead starts out finding Reece at his lowest point in the series since the murder of his wife, daughter, and unborn son in book 1. So after “In the Blood” the wait for this book, felt interminable, but now having read it, I can say it was absolutely worth the wait.īook 5 ended with one of the most shocking cliffhangers I have ever read, where Reece is arrested out of nowhere for the murder of his friend, and kindred spirit, the President of the United States. Wow! This book is SO GOOD! My favorite book of the year, by far. If you're a fan of immersive post-apocalyptic fiction that combines heart-pounding suspense with thought-provoking depth, "Only the Dead" is a must-listen. But beyond the thrilling plot, "Only the Dead" also explores profound themes of resilience, morality, and the strength of the human spirit. The relentless pace of the story kept me engrossed, and the unexpected twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end. The audiobook narrator brought these characters to life with an impeccable performance, lending depth and authenticity to their experiences. The author skillfully crafted characters who felt real, their hopes and fears palpable with every word. What truly sets "Only the Dead" apart is its ability to evoke raw emotions. As the protagonist navigated through a landscape filled with danger and uncertainty, I found myself completely immersed in their struggle for survival. The author's brilliant storytelling and vivid descriptions transported me to a hauntingly realistic setting. The link to the audiobook can be found here Only the Dead: A Thriller (Terminal List, Book 6), prepare for an unforgettable journey into a world where survival is paramount. This gripping tale of survival in a post-apocalyptic world had me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. "Only the Dead" is an extraordinary audiobook that left me utterly captivated from start to finish. ![]() Make sure you convert the units so both their distance and time components match, or use our trip duration calculator above which will handle conversions automatically. Where d is the distance travelled, v is the speed (velocity) and t is the time, so you can read it as Time = Distance / Speed. The time, or more precisely, the duration of the trip, can be calculated knowing the distance and the average speed using the formula: Our distance calculator will sometimes output the distance in more than one unit, for your convenience.Įxample: If a truck travelled at an average speed of 80 km per hour for 4 hours, how many miles did it cover in that time? To find the miles covered, first, calculate 80 * 4 = 320 km, then convert km to miles by dividing by 1.6093 or by using our km to miles converter to get the answer: 198.84 miles. As usual, make sure that the time unit of the speed measure is the same as the time unit for the duration of the trip. The result will depend on the unit of the speed metric, for example if speed is given in mph, the result will be in miles, if it is given in km/h, the result will be in kilometers. Where v is the velocity (average speed), t is the time and d is distance, so you can read it as Distance = Speed x Time. The formula for distance, if you know time (duration) and the average speed, is: If you want the result in km/h, you can convert from miles to km to get 788.58 km/h. If it was in meters and seconds, it will be in m/s (meters per second).Įxample: If you took a plane from New York to Los Angeles and the flight was 5 hours of air time, what was the speed of the plane, given that the flight path was 2450 miles? The answer is 2450 / 5 = 490 mph (miles per hour) average speed. The resulting unit will depend on the units for both time and distance, so if your input was in miles and hours, the speed will be in mph. As noted above, make sure you convert the units appropriately first, or use our speed calculator which does that automatically. Where v is the velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time, so you can read it as Speed = Distance / Time. The formula for average speed, also called average velocity in physics and engineering, is: The unit of the result will depend on the units you input, but our speed calculator will conveniently display additional units where appropriate. If you have distance in kilometers, then speed should also be in km/h (kilometers per hour). For example, if you have speed in mph (miles per hour), time should also be in hours. miles, kilometers, meters, yards, feet, and hours, minutes or seconds. You will need to convert the metrics to the same time and distance units, e.g. In order to use the above speed, distance & time calculator, or do such math on your own, you will need to know two out of three metrics: speed, distance, time. How to calculate the average speed of a car?.I mean the trip time calculator (at the moment its more like a trip time story teller xD) probably knows the speed limits on all roads in the game and if you could tell the trip time calculator "I will always drive 5 mph slower than the actual speed limit on a road" then it should be rather easy to make a good calculation and then the navigator would also be able to show you the fastest route to your destination (right now the navigator will always chose the shortest route if you want the fastest route, but the shortest route isn't always also the fastest route). If you drive in California the difference between the calculated time and the real time is very small (maybe 30 minutes or so), but if you drive in Utah then the difference can already be several hours and if we some day will be able to make a coast to coast trip then the difference will be DAYS! If i remember right its something between 46 and 47 mph). Lets say the trip time calculator tells you that you will arrive at 10 am and you drive with 65 mph then you will very soon see that the trip calculator has changed the time of arrival maybe to 9:30 am and a while later then maybe 9:20 am and so on and if you pause the game (look at the map for example) and then do the math (remaining distance divided by the "needed" time) you will always get the result 47 mph (or 46 mph. ![]() If you are 47 miles away from your destination the trip time calculator tells you that you will need exactly 1 hour to arrive there, no matter if you drive with 55 mph on a small road or with 80 mph on a interstate at that time. It doesn't matter what the speed limits are. ![]() The possibilities are endless, and you are sure to run into unexpected experiences as you travel the world.

Whether it’s in the car, between Zoom meetings, or around the dinner table, having fun, interesting questions at the ready is the ultimate cure to shrugs or monosyllabic responses. It’s also an antidote for a unique dilemma posed by unprecedented hours at home. On one hand, more time with family at home has been a silver lining of these challenging times. Working and learning from home has (literally) brought thousands of families closer, and the absence of typical excursions has created more opportunities to interact with and entertain one another at home.īut for many, it’s been a mixed blessing. Time together was once a much scarcer commodity, making family game nights or no-cell phone dinners all the more special. If every night is basically family game night, it becomes somewhat less precious, right? What is there left to talk about when your family has had, well, each other to talk to in person for months on end? Now it’s here in abundance in many households, but with some tricky strings attached. We’re asking ourselves what to do with the sheer amount of time available to us now, as it has been for almost a year. ![]() And as any parent knows, there’s a difference between time technically spent in the same room and quality time spent connecting with kids. The key to kickstarting quality time? Asking the right questions. “How”, “why,” and opinion-based questions are discussion gold. Yes/no questions, or overly-specific questions that require a lot of knowledge for lift off can prove much less fruitful. Trust me on this, it was once my job to ask questions that actually get kids talking and thinking.

There are lots of other European folk tales that kick off with a golden apple being stolen, including ones from Russia called "Tsarevitch Ivan, the Fire Bird and the Gray Wolf" and one from Serbia called "The Nine Peahens and the Golden Apples. golden apples of Hesperides, eleventh labor, with help of Atlas Heracles was able to complete this. When the king's son sets off to nab the thieving bird he's in for a lot more than he bargained for. golden bird steals a golden apple from a king's golden apple tree. Grimms' Fairy Tales includes a story called "The Golden Bird" in which a. When sneaky Loki helps steal them, however, all of Asgard is in for a rocky time. Atlas had Hercules capture the sun from Zeus who had stolen it and left the world in darkness. Golden apples also pop up in Norse mythology where they're kept by the goddess Idunn and provide the gods with their immortal youth. Atlas had Hercules take the burden of holding up the sky while he went to get the golden apples. Another notable difference in Ovids telling is that Atlas is a giant, not a Titan. aggressus est, et hoc per serpentem, quia tunc serpens erectus est ut homo. ![]() In this version, the garden and its golden apples belong to Atlas, not Hera (who isnt involved at all). since in the legends of the Hesperides apples also played a big role. ![]() When Hera and Zeus were married, branches bearing golden apples were said to be among the wedding gifts. The Garden of the Hesperides was the goddess Hera’s orchard. Then, of course, there's the story where the fast-running Atalanta loses a race because Hippomenes keeps throwing irresistible golden apples on the ground behind him and she can't help but pick them up. The Atlas and Perseus story is a late variation of the myth of the Garden of the Hesperides that appears in Book 4 of Ovids Metamorphoses. These apples were kept in a garden at the northern edge of the world, and they were guarded not only by a hundred-headed dragon, named Ladon, but also by the Hesperides, nymphs who were daughters of Atlas, the titan who held the sky and the earth upon his shoulders. The most famous apples in classical myth are undoubtedly the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. Another famous one from Greek mythology is the incident where Heracles steals the golden apples of the Hesperides as one of his Twelve Labors. The Golden Apples of the Hesperides were a tempting prize for any would be thief, so the Hesperides were not the only guardians of the garden, and Hera, would position Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon that never slept, with in the garden. "The Judgment of Paris" is definitely not the only myth where a golden apple stirs up some trouble. ![]() (The previous expressions "blew up" and displayed highly unrealistic results after roughly 10,000 years from J2000.)
