Book Description
In one of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Edward P. Jones, two-time National Book Award finalist, tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black farmer and former slave who falls under the tutelage of William Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester County, Virginia. Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him unexpectedly, his widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order and chaos ensues. In a daring and ambitious novel, Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all of its moral complexities.

The Outlanders Universe Gets More Explosive!.......2003-03-05
Take Area 51...
Add in alien sex,
an APC/Jeep war,
an underground battle,
an ... whupping in an elevator,
samurai,
ninjas,
"injuns" with M-16's,
rumors of dinosaurs,
the alleged death of a main character,
a mysterious being who can rejuvenate the ancient and crippled,
a hot tub sex scene,
and mix it ALL together with a little Viva Las Vegas...
I think you can come close to perfection with this one. Most people talk about the middle book of a trilogy being slow or weak? This was the exception to that rule. The first book was much less full than this one, and this one had a lot of energy to it, despite all the plot points, or maybe even BECAUSE of all the vibrant energy plugged into it.
Just awesome.
Heavenly!.......2001-05-21
Hey Kids: This series has become more important than Deathlands because it handles a wider range of mythologies, if you can dig it. The series, though, is now more vulnerable than ever for devolving into stream of consciousness drivel from main characters. Let us hope it does not fall into that bottomless chasm as it threatened to do when the characters were spiritually transported to parallel universes.
I also would like to see more technological doodads flitting about in forthcoming novels. I certainly liked the volume that talked about the Aurora craft and its capabilities. I also hope that perhaps this series can nestle more snuggly into more UFO paranoia and Area 51 mythos. As I find that world fun to immerse myself in for a time, and apparently other readers do as well, judging from the "Area 51" novels from Tom Dougherty. And as Dean Koontz has aptly demonstrated in his Wyvern Base series, there's a lot of paranoidal mythos-spinning yarn concerning abandoned high-tech military bases. Perhaps a half-buried Crystal Palace R&D facility would be appropos in one of the future installments maybe?
Major Insights.......2001-03-20
This novel is one of the best Mark has written to date. It begins where Doom Dynasty left off, with Kane in the Clutches of Baron Cobalt in Area 51. I will not go into the details of what was happening to him, as it would spoil it for the reader.
Suffice to say, the reader is treated a rare glimpse into the mind and society of the Hybrid race, how they react, their views on humanity and each other, emotions, etc.
While Kane is held captive, Grant, Brigid as well as a small team of natives leave the Darks in the Titano (the name the War Wag was Christened), on a desperate rescue mission.
Along the way they encounter a group of Magistrates led by none other than Baron Sharpe himself, and an uneasy alliance is formed between both parties, as their final destination, AREA 51, remains the same. Even though their collective reasons for hitting the mythical base are different.
The novel is action packed, as you would expect, but it also gives a long overdue insight into the Albino Domi's mind, and the how's and whys she reacts the way she does. It also fleshes out this character even more so.
To add icing to the cake, several new characters are introduced in the novel, well some really re-introduced, that could prove to be great friends, or deadly foes. These characters range from several Hybrids, to Magistrates as well as the Tigers of Heaven (introduced for the first time in Outer Darkness).
Even though the Tigers play only a small role in the novel, the events that take place on their island off the western coast will play significantly in upcoming novels. We're talking some very high tech, very unusual occurrences.
Also, there is something that happens in the novel that will shock any long time reader. Well two things, if you count what happens to Grant.
Enjoy, it is well worth the read, and I personally can't wait to get my hand on Purgatory Road. Which incidentally, has Kane, Brigid and Grant prominently displayed on the cover.

Shocking! I loved it!!.......2001-03-04
This is one of the best books in the series, if not THE best. It's exciting, action-packed, full of unexpected twists and turns. There's plenty of shooting in this book, but it's not a simple shoot-em-up.
I don't want to give away the plot, but it seems like the world of Kane, Brigid, Grant and the rest of the gang at Cerberus are in for some major changes...none of them good. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.

Pennsylvania German Arts: More Than Hearts, Parrots, & Tulips
Irwin Richman Manufacturer: Schiffer Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0764312456 |
Book Description
There has never been a book like this intertwining the arts and artifacts of both the traditional and the evolving worlds. The Pennsylvania Germans are a remarkable people; some are among the most conservative of Americans, retaining a strong cultural identity to this day, while others have largely assimilated into the larger English world. Folk art and quilts are here, but so is the work of Precisionist painter Charles Demuth and Abstract Expressionist painter Franz Kline. Objects range from needlework, pottery, furniture, and glass to paper, paintings, and metals--including gold and silver! Here is a very personal and extensive historical text illustrated with the works of traditionalists, revivalists, and the avant garde displayed in over 350 color photographs. Pennsylvania German Arts has been written to be both informative and fun to read and is designed to showcase distinctive works of great beauty.
