Kindle Notes & Highlights
Besides, if you have a one-of-a-kind painting by Salvador Dali, you don’t bury it, you admire it. And the Enigma Cube makes the most masterful of Dali paintings seem commonplace.”
A miltary person wouldn't speak like this.
We’re like human scientists a thousand years ago stumbling upon a cell phone. They’d be blown away by its stunning array of capabilities, and all of them would seem like magic. The equivalent of a tiny supercomputer for a brain. The ability to use electricity as a power source. The ability to take and play back photos and video. To communicate across great distances. To understand spoken words. To access billions of pages of information. And so on.”
So weird to have a supposed scientist saying this stupid stuff - and of course it's the female character.
“And I’m going to make sure that no one else dies. I could’ve gotten us out of there without using lethal force. I should have. I’ll never forgive myself for that mistake. But no more innocents are being sacrificed on my watch.”
The dialogue is so grippingly realistic.
“I still don’t believe you,” said Boyd, but his expression indicated otherwise. “Believe what you want,” said Shen. “I’m sure you’ve wondered how we found your operation in Spokane. This is how. And while we were conducting our own experiments on our own cube, we were looking over your shoulder in case you unlocked yours first.” “Which we did,” said Kelly. “Which you did. And we’re still unsure how, since we couldn’t get any images of you when you were in your cube room and about to steal it.”
All this talking is ridiculous
To pretend otherwise would be akin to a woman insisting she was a virgin after sleeping with a dozen men.
These freakin metaphors - : (
Still, Otto had invented a dark energy generator in 1943, while the vile Nazi SS was breathing down his neck. If he could do that, what couldn’t he do?
There is so much unnecessary review and summation in this book!!! ugh
