Manufacturer: Berkley Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: B000EPP6WI |
Product Description
0425140040From Publishers WeeklyRuck, an invincible English knight, loses his new wife when she declares herself a prophet and pledges her life to the Church. Ruck's attention now falls to the Princess Melanthe, the shrewd, widowed head of the powerful Monteverde family in Italy and to whom he swears allegiance. But Gian, the patriarch of the equally powerful Navona family, plans to marry Melanthe and merge their two kingdoms, and he will murder anyone who jeopardizes his plan. Thirteen years later, Ruck meets Melanthe again and joins the princess's entourage as they journey to reach her estate before Gian catches up with her. On the way, she reveals to Ruck that his wife was burned as a heretic. Melanthe and Ruck exchange wedding vows and consummate the marriage. But the potential repercussions of their union and an advancing plague threaten them, so the two escape to Ruck's estate, which he struggles to reclaim since it was lost through legal confusion. The honeymoon bliss doesn't last long because they have been seen by someone who alerts Gian, who isn't ready to let Melanthe go. Kinsale's (The Shadow and the Star) tale is light on vitality and heavy on Middle English, plot twists and tedium.

Angel Cardenas is a hard-working police detective in 21st century Los Angeles, which has become a gritty, sprawling metropolis that stretches from southern California all the way past the Mexican border to the Gulf of Mexico. Cardenas has one special talent that makes his job easier: he's an "intuit," capable of intuiting what others will do in any given situation. His new case begins when a seemingly innocuous businessman is found dead, missing his vital organs-which bring good money on the black market-and all his money. Cardenas is nearly killed when he visits the victim's home and the house explodes, and new questions quickly arise. Where are the woman and the young girl who had been living in the home? And why doesn't the victim's I.D. match his DNA scan? The deeper he gets into the case, the more puzzled Cardenas becomes. He crisscrosses L.A. looking for clues among the kid-gang underworld, the high-tech, highly illegal black market, an American Indian crime syndicate, and other fascinating settings-all in search of The Mock, a stone-cold killer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.Customer Reviews:

This was a quick, enjoyable read. I am amazed at the range of topics that Mr. Foster writes about. His books are almost always satisfying and "The Mocking Program" is no exception.
AI, Teenage girl/Mneumonic, Intuitive Profiler... try it........2003-11-29
You also get the feel that the author is teaching a little Spanish on the way (i.e. he'll use a phrase and then when it is repeated or used in some reflexive way, he'll switch in the Spanish term instead).
The book leaves you a bit in the sky wondering if the ending has really landed. True, the immediate problems are solved, but there remains a mystery. I imagine a sequel to this would be very facinating. You have a teenage girl who not only has to deal with the standard wiles of fading adolescence, but whose parents were killed, has a mneumonic computer for brains, and may still be hunted by her father (who supposedly died, and may not even be real in the conventional sense). You have a inspector who has intuition better than any psychic 900 number. You have an evoloving AI network that spans nations with an unknown and unsuspected agenda. .... A lot can still happen. Read some of the pages and find out for yourself.
Original plot, but too many distractions.......2003-10-30
Some sentences, especially at the beginning of the book, are nearly impossible to understand. This is frustrating and gets in the way of enjoying the story. An example: (p.14)
The ganglet of ninlocos arrived before the food did. They swaggered in past the protesting door, the lanky chieflado in the lead spizzing it with a spinner whose ident was torqued to reflect instead of inform. Behind the chingaroon ambulated a group of negs and poses, though which was who and who was witch [sic] was hard to say at first glance.
In fact, he includes a glossary at the end of the book. I didn't realize it was even there until I finished the book, but even had I known, it would have been too cumbersome to flip to the back every time I read a made-up term.
I also wondered why the story delves into futuristic ideas that aren't relevant to the plot. Perhaps this appeals to devoted sci-fi readers (I'm not one of them) but I couldn't see why he set the story so far in the future when the key technology could believably exist sooner. This would have saved quite a bit of explanations of inventions, concepts, gadgetry, etc.
I also found the ending to be pretty weak...I won't explain why since that would ruin it for others, but I thought the original and creative storyline deserved better.
Great idea for a story, and very unique plot twists. May be worth a quick read if you can look past (or enjoy) the jargon.

The color ideas can leave you calm and soothed, passionate, nostaglic, or inspired. I originally planned to sit down with a cup of tea and look through each page- but no- I started bursting with thought, looking through my fabric collection and searching for new ways to decorate each room. Needless to say my tea was cold but my mind was soaring.
Obtaining this look is not something you run out on a shopping spree and purchase everything all at once. It takes time and carefully selected pieces to blend together beautifully.
Creating a Private World is a fantastic beginning. This way you can see what styles you like and what would work with the spaces you have. It' s also a very nice read and to thumb through at the end of the day.
I purchased this as a treat for myself, along with Victoria's Romantic Country Style, and Victoria's The Charms of Tea.
A little at a time I'll create my own Private, Intimate home.
A beautiful gift for a friend or loved one~ or yourself.
Victoria: Intimate Home.......2000-02-06
Each photo is someone's way of creating their own private space - or a space that intimately reflects their personal interests. The text on that page, tells about the person, sometimes telling the evolution of that private space.
Sometimes it is just a corner, or a desktop - but a reminder that we need places that belong to us alone.
Beautiful ways to do our just Being. Remembering just Being is an art form.
