Discover the thought-provoking insights in 'Ground Control' (ISBN: 9781641609920), a compelling new book published by Chicago Review Press in 2024. This book dives into the critical discourse surrounding the space race of the 1960s and '70s, when a staggering investment of $24 billion (approximately $150 billion today) was dedicated to landing humans on the moon. Author Savannah Mandel employs cultural anthropology to explore the ethical implications of our quest for space exploration, raising questions that are as relevant today as they were decades ago. As commercial giants like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic usher in an era of space tourism, 'Ground Control' prompts us to reflect on the societal, political, and environmental consequences of these ventures. Are we ready to conquer new frontiers at the cost of neglecting urgent issues here on Earth? Mandel’s investigation offers an in-depth analysis of how commercial space companies prioritize profit over planetary welfare, making 'Ground Control' essential reading for anyone interested in the future of humanity beyond our planet. This book confronts the narratives of space colonization, urging readers to consider the cultural ramifications of our relentless pursuit of the stars. In an age where space exploration is rapidly becoming a commercialized spectacle, 'Ground Control' provides a necessary critique of our aspirations and invites us to reflect on what it means to be human in a vast universe. DTSTART: Join the conversation about the future of space exploration today with 'Ground Control', and gain a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos.Shipping Notes

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2.
Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
