Mystery on the Blue Train

The Mystery of the Blue Train (Hercule Poirot #6)The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read another book from Agatha Cristie it was called the Blue Train. It is a classic detective novel starring Hercule Poirot. I think I mentioned before someplace that I read all of her books before when I was a teenager. I started reading them again and I can find some items to compare to even in today's modern age.

For those who use the internet to contact and talk to individuals who may be total strangers, we are constantly warned about giving out private information because it could get us into trouble. But after I read the Blue Train I realized that the internet does not provoke that type of behavior. This behavior seems to be innate.

Sufficient to say that in the novel, two wealthy women get to meet in the dining car of the train. One woman is wealthy because she is the daughter of a wealthy man. The other Woman inherited her wealth, she was a paid companion to an extremely rich woman who was a penny pincher, this woman with no close family around to pass her belongings died and she passes everything to her paid companion, which incidentally made her rich. The companion had no idea how wealthy her former and now dead her patroness was.

In the dining car of the train, they seem to get along very well and they start talking and rapidly they dive into their private and personal lives. One of the women get emotion and decides to invite the other to her private quarters on the train. Once in their private quarters on the train, they really reveal your personal situation with each other. Of course, somebody overhears them and eventually, it brings on problems for both of them. One got murdered. The other even innocent of the murder still get hit on by every individual who has found out that she inherited a fortune.

Sounds familiar?

The Siege of Eternity by Frederik Pohl My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book continues the Eschaton series, yeah you going to see that in the header. There really isn't much to say in this second book. All we know that two civilization is at war and the earth is just one of many civilizations where it has been targeted for assimilation to the "Beloved Leaders" empire. the interesting part is thru out the series is the Eschaton. I decided to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_time At least 2 advanced races/species are fighting to see who will rule... eternity. Frederick Pohl apparently believed in the Big Crunch theory and expressed his concept in this series the advanced species have given religion to the subjected races or species the other side's beliefs are not so credible. Their religion is very similar to Human beliefs of an afterlife which are present in the majority of cultures on our planet. In the end, the winning species and their allies or subject...

Echo of worlds

Echo of Worlds by M.R. Carey My rating: 2 of 5 stars M.R. Carey's "Echo of Worlds" serves as a powerful and satisfying conclusion to his "Pandominion" duology, following the intriguing setup of "Infinity Gate." While the author's broader works certainly explore diverse realms, this novel masterfully ties together the threads of this particular multiversal conflict. The story immediately plunges readers into an epic war across countless dimensions. On one side stands the organic Pandominion, pitted against the chilling machine-intelligence known as the Ansurrection. Both factions are escalating their destructive capabilities, threatening to unleash an extinction-level event called the "Scour," which could wipe out thousands of planets.
