While a bit dense, this book is great overview of the field of Deep Learning.

The political opinions are irrelevant to the main point of this book. For that reason I took off stars. When it comes to breaking down strategies for selling to the affluent, it’s a great book. You just gotta weave through the garbage.

This is a rather innovative premise as assassin thrillers go. It’s not very plausible, but it makes for a very exciting and interesting story. The characters are fairly well drawn and voiced distinctly by Shawn Compton. However, it is quite dated with pay phones rather than cell phones and much more smoking than you’d find..

Kane is a former CIA assassin that got his memory wiped after a mission. He starts a new life as an assassin for hire unaware of those after him. The story is full of action and was very fast paced. The writing was quite sharp and quick adding to the pace of the action packed..

This book is a hell of a piece. Paul provided a lot of details, and takes the time to clarify all of them. This is truly a first hand account from the writers eyes and it’s not sensored at all. With all the military books out there it’s wonderful to see one where the writer..

This is a great example of a 70’s era spy/crime pulp novel because, well, it is. I didn’t really research the genesis of this book, and it turns out it was written in the late 70s, but only published this year. It was a fun jaunt through spy and crime worlds with the proto-typical superhuman..

This book is set in the 1970’s and it keeps that 70’s pulp vibe throughout the entire book. If you like pulp thrillers from that era this is a decent book for you. I will say it felt a little disjointed and almost slapped together. The end of the book explains it all. This book..
