Great review of The Brave and the Bold, third book in The Hidden Truth series.

"Schantz’s world building is, I think the make or break aspect of the book, and really the whole series, for most people. He goes into great detail describing the secret history behind the development of many technologies we take for granted today, as well as recapping some of the physics that the Circle is trying to keep secret. The intent is both to help the reader understand on a base level what the Circle is up to and how they go about accomplishing their goals of containing technological development and disrupting Western Civilization. Some readers might find the level of detail excessive. On the other hand, I find it draws me in even further, making the book difficult to put down to say the least. Part of that is because the author does such a good job describing things in an accessible way and the other is that most of the details are actually true. It makes you realize that the free market has never really been free."

🇨🇳 In southwest China, in Sichuan province, a landslide caused the partial collapse of a recently opened automobile bridge in Barkam County.

After cracks were discovered, traffic was promptly closed, which helped avoid casualties. A section of the roadway and the entrance part of the bridge collapsed.

"John Cabot led me to learn of a dedicated historian who had repeatedly tried to track down and eventually tell the true story of his explorations and adventures.

That historian was Dr Alwyn Ruddock, who dedicated decades of her life to meticulously searching out the truth about John Cabot and his crew of Bristol mariners only to strictly order, via her last will and testament, the complete destruction of her entire collection of unpublished manunoscripts, papers and records upon her death."
