Prequels and sequels.......2006-11-14
Some new ground covered and some old ground uncovered. The world of Endymion revisited in a short story and the seeds of the Olympos world uncovered. All from the Simmon's parallax view of the universe he creates. Simmon's introduction to each story both enlighten and befuddle but he does admit to being more comfortable with the worlds of his own creation rather than writing about himself or writing introductions. However, with that aside and despite a tedious story about a mountain climb with a boring alien, the compilation of work is well worth adding to your collection.
A great collection of stories.......2006-07-16
I recently finished Dan Simmons' Worlds Enough and Time, a collection of 5 tales of "speculative fiction" (that's what it says on the cover). As you may know from my review earlier this year of his novel Ilium, I've been a fan of his work for quite some time. He's inventive, and always has interesting, flawed characters.
I quite enjoyed reading these stories. They were all just long enough to read one before sleeping. The stories are:
Looking for Kelly Dahl - one day, while attempting suicide, a teacher's life, and universe, changes
Orphans of the Helix - a return to the Hyperion universe
The Ninth of Av - I noticed this as a kind of prequel to Ilium
On K2 with Kanakaredes - mountain-climbing, with an alien
The End of Gravity - an American investigating, and reminiscing, on the Russian space program
For fans of Simmon's work, this is definitely worth a read!
Words Enough .......2005-11-08
Dan Simmon's writing is always great, even in disposable pulp fiction like his Joe Kurtz novels, and in this volume he's got the goods when it comes to the stories. He chose to include the commentaries for all stories as well and he makes his short and lucid entries interesting and relevant.
Stylistically and thematically the stories are varied- in "Looking for Kelly Dahl" Simmons is looking for Philip K.D. but even with the shades of Ubik, this is a good one; The End of Gravity didn't make any particular impression on me, but it's not bad either.
What is more interesting is the other three stories: The Orphans of Helix, set in the post-world of Simmons' Hyperion series- nice work and a useful thing if you have just finished reading/emerged breathless from Hyperion world and need a fix. The "The Ninth of Av" was at first a strange and confusing tale when I read it, but now, with a benefit of hindsight, I see that it is an essential reading before delving into the world of Illium and Olympos, Simmons' latest saga. And finally, "On K2 with Kanakaredes" is a sci-fi gem, with a big emotional punch; stories don't come better than this.
This collection is a must for Simmons fans, but it works just as well as a standalone, excellent introduction to one of the best writers in the field- though after his excursions into horror, thriller and such, exactly which field it is, it's hard to say at his point. In hard core sci-fi, Simmons holds steady as one of the biggest stars. Even his cover art is slightly improved here- this galactic picture was used in hundreds other works, on a Pearl Jam album cover recently, but it's better than the usual cheapo paintings of the lurid sci-fi nature that the publishers love to slap on Simmons. Put some duck tape on these and keep reading...
Great Stories.......2004-12-15
Dan Simmons has written a masterfull work. I have marked down four stars when I really give it 4 1/2. This is wonderfull to read. Simmons also writes an anecdote to each story about the story or his connection to writing the story. In his anecdotes, you find that he loves where he lives and loves the annual neighborhood get togethers. He also loves writing, but not necessarily the business of writing. Taken together, they add a nice depth to his writing and gives you a greater appreciation to his stories. There are five here and not one of them is a dud. He returns to Hyperion in one of the stories and the reader would enjoy the story more if they had read the series, but the story still stands on its own legs. He also writes about mountain climbing with aliens and the brotherhood that develops with such an activity whether you are human or not. The "End of Gravity" is about an American writer going to Russia to look at their space accompishments. The "Ninth of Av" is about Jewish decendents going through another dark period of history.
If you are new to Dan Simmons, then this is a good book to start with becasue you get a wide variety of his style and abilities. Highly Recommended.
A Simmons fan necessity.......2004-08-21
Overall, if you are a fan of Simmons, this book is a must have as 2 of the stories touch upon worlds seen in his larger works. Specifically "The Ninth of Av" is a prequel to Ilium, and "Orphans of the Helix" is a sequel set in the Hyperion universe. I was not overly impressed by the opening story of "Kelly Dahl" about a man trying to kill himself and an enigmatic former student of his with world changing powers. I never felt for the main character nor did I care if he killed himself or not. "Orphans of the Helix" was a nice revisiting of a far flung colony of Ousters and Templars set many years after the events in the Endymion duology. I thought the resolution of the dilemma in the story was a little forced though, abrupt even. "The Ninth of Av" was a mildly interesting story set just before the Final Fax that is mentioned in Ilium. It sheds some light on those events and flows a little better into its parent universe than "Orphans" which was more of a stand alone story just happening to appear in the Hyperion universe. It made me want to re-read Ilium. "On K2 with Kanakaredes" was a great story about a company of climbers on the slopes of K2 (go figure) who for political reasons must take an alien with them. This was my favorite story out of the 5. I must have missed the point of "The End of Gravity" because it was only average to me. An american writer is sent to Russia for a story on the russian interests in the International Space Station. It shows the russians as proud of their space achievements in a way that America has not been for a long time. More interesting to me and a high point of this book were the anecdotal introductions to each of the stories. They give a glimpse into the life of Simmons that I enjoyed more than some of the stories. I will admit though I am not a huge fan of the shorter fiction. I prefer novel length stories so take this review that that grain of salt. Every once and a while a story really captivates me and makes me remember it, but I can't say that any story in this collection had that effect on my except "K2". So I will agree with a previous reviewer and recommend this to any Simmons fans for sure, but if you are new to him, start with some of his novels which I think are much better (at least the 5 I have read are). I would rate this as 3.5 out of 5.
Book Description
Darkwitch Rising is the third title in Sara Douglass's compelling Troy Game series, a riveting historical fantasy series of love and revenge set against the very fabric of time itself.Britian. An ancient land. Most think they know its history. But few suspect and fewer still know the truth. For back in the mists of time came Brutus, last of the Trojan kings, who was armed with the knowledge of how to construct a magical Labyrinth that could rival the might of the gods. He was drawn to this place by the alluring sorceress Genvissa and together they almost succeeded in creating the Labyrinth. But in the end they were thwarted by Brutus's wife Cornelia, who understood the danger to the land. Her actions however trapped them all into a endless cycle of death and rebirth until the magic of the Labyrinth is completed. Ages pass. Time and again the players have come close to victory but each time there is a new wrinkle to stay the fulfillment of power.The Now that these soul travelers arrive in is a most unique one. The English are at war, not with a foreign power but amongst themselves; a mighty Civil War that threatens to destroy a nation. A great pestilence is upon the land and the newly restored Charles II sits upon the throne trying to hold chaos at bay....and he is one of the major players in this drama.And he is not alone.

Better and better.......2007-03-18
Third in the Troy series. It's about re-birth. The characters live out their lives; and after a few hundred or thousand years are born again. Each time; they get better and better. In the first, Cornelia was just a spoiled princess. The second; a mature women. In this; the third book she is the developing goddess of fertility. Even a goddess cannot have it all her own way though. Her nemesis, the evil Asterian is stronger. He places an imp in Cornelia's body; if she doesn't do what he wants; the imp will tear her apart. How do you get arround that? That is the meat of the matter.
Here's hoping the last book can redeem the series.......2007-01-22
This third installment in Douglass' 'Troy Game' series had a lot of potential initially, but went downhill about halfway through. This time around, the events surrounding Cornelia-reborn, Brutus-reborn, and their "entourage" take place around the court of Charles II of England. Reading the first two books in the series (starting with Hades' Daughter) is a must, as the story, spanning over 1,000 years, is quite complicated. Despite my mild disappointment, I will still read the final book to achieve completion.
As do the others, this book suffers from cheesy cover art.
A change that's hard to swollow, a series you shouldn't miss.......2006-02-21
Very little is what it seems in this book.
And if you're rooting for Brutus and Cornelia to get it together you will shocked and dissapointed-I was.
That said, this does resolve nearly all the issues set up in the past books and set the stage for the next book perfectly.
There is more change in the major players of this book then ever-be prepared to except that evil can be overcome and love can be lost and people can be something they never should have been or would have been. Remember that all the titles of books before refer to Cornelia-this one does too.
Anyway, just read the book. I'm now counting the days until the last one comes out. And desperately hoping that Brutus can finally love Cornelia as he says he does.
Three months later-in retrospect I don't think I like this series very much. It's not very well written, it has no likeable charecters and a lot of the actions are brutaly offensive. Faced with the forth book recently published I find I've just lost intrest. In retrospect I think I find Sara Douglass's writing to be very dark and depressing and gloomy-but not always in a way that works. I wouldn't advise reading her stuff, excepting Threshold, unless you can work a two week depresion into your life.
Not quite as good as the others.......2006-02-19
I was disappionted in the thrid installment of Sara Douglass's Troy Game series. The twists and turns were too much when coupled with attempting to remember all the past lives of the characters. Noah in this novel seemed to go where the wind took her as far as romance goes, and overall was not an admirable character. I disliked the addition of so many characters as well as all the muddled romances of the book.
Troy Game lives, again........2005-12-30
In the third book in the "Troy Game" series, the group (Brutus, Coel, Asterian, Cornilia, ect.) have been revorn into the 1660s London, as King Charles is just returning from exile. But there are big changes in the Game in this life. First of all, Cornilia, now Noah, is bound to the Minatour Asterian, who has a dramatic change of heart this life. Brutus becomes the Stag God Gog. Also the Game has become flesh, in the guise of Noah and Brutus's daughter Caitling; and it is not what anyone thinks. This is only a few of the many suprises in store for this book.
This is certainly a turning point in the series, every character must examin what they thought they knew. By the time the book ends, everyone's faith in the Game and each other has been challenged. In the last book, "God's Concubine", Cornilia (then Caela) changed the most. Now she has grown comfertable in her role as Goddess Eaving. Brutus is trying to change for the better, but his jelousy and ambition for the Game keeps getting in his way. Genvissa, now Jane Orr, has also had a drastic change of heart. She no longer wants to be Mistress of the Labyrinth, she has been enslaved to Asterian (now the cruel Weyland Orr) and only wants to be left alone. Weyland Orr, Asterian, goes through the most dramatic change, as he moves from being the villan of the piece to a friend of the Faerie. How that happens is the most moving part of the book, and you must read it to believe it, and it happens so gradually it is actually believable. Also the story is more streight forward than in the last book,l where everyone was caught up in Edward the Confessor's court intrigues. The plots were much easier to follow this time.
The parts of the book I did not like were that there was too much sex (but I kind of knew that going in). There is not enough action and fighting (though the Great Fire of London was interesting) and it was way too long. But it is made up for by an interesting story. I can not wait for the next (and last) book.

Super Reader.......2007-08-26
This was not as good as the previous two books in the series. Another adventure for him, a strange antagonist, and some time travelling that seemed a bit out of place. France? Jim has to stop people messing around with time.
Anyway, it is ok, but there are definitely better books in this series.
Wow! Talk about mixed reviews!.......2004-02-07
I first learned of the Stainless Steel Rat over thirty years ago. I had no idea this book was one of many.
Over thirty years later, I've started buying (and reading) the other books (and Esperanto books).
Folks, this book may have had holes in the plot, but for me to remember it for thirty years and then start buying the rest of the series, it simply couldn't have been that bad. Gee, maybe it's very good!
One of my FAVORITES.......2000-06-27
Man, Harry Harrison's good at this stuff. This is one of my favorite Rat books. It's got a good storyline and a good (bad?) enemy, which every book needs in my humble opinion.
HARRY HARRISON LOSES FACE.......2000-04-29
Harry, how could you! After creating the inimitable Stainless Steel Rat, you put in in a STUPID non-existent storyline! You send Slippery Jim back and forth in time aimlessly, the archvillain is titled "HE" (was that name the best you could do?), and then the end is not the least satisfactory. Harry, the absurd point of the story was to make sure the Stainless Steel Rat could not be around to be a father to his twins. What a disappointment when the best part of the story is the brief repartee between Slippery Jim and his boss, Inskipp. I know you can do better, Harry, because you have in your other books. Readers, if you like the Rat, skip this one.
Book Description
A study of four types of societies with characteristics that affect receptivity to evangelism and church planting.
Customer Reviews:
A great resource for missions.......2006-03-04
In Incarnational Ministry, Heibert and Menses "use both theological and scientific insights to examine how we can best plant living churches in different types of societies" (pg. 14). They integrate theology and the social sciences in an effort to provide understanding of human societies and cultures so as to help motivate and guide church planting efforts in various societies. They argue that "response to human cultures must be an ongoing process of critical contextualization...thereby critically examining different areas of culture in the light of God's Word to test what can be kept and what needs to be changed" (pg.19).
The book examines four different types of societies and cultures and how their needs and differences affect Christian ministry and church planting efforts. Heibert and Menses assert, "The hindrance to the growth and spiritual maturation of churches is often not the offense of the gospel, but our ignorance of the ways cultures and societies operate" (pg.19). Hence, it is imperative Christian missionaries be aware of structure of various human cultures and societies in order to be culturally sensitive and more effective in their cross-cultural ministry endeavors.
Book Description
A KILLER WAS FULLY COMMITTED
Twin Cities businessman Ken Loy is the first to die; shot between the eyes during a sunset bike ride. Half an hour later, Bob Fabian, the rich and handsome owner of the Minneapolis Times Register, meets a similar fate. It was a year ago when Loy broadsided the VW Beetle driven by Fabian’s wife, Valerie, killing her instantly. Coincidence? Sleuthing food critic Sophie Greenway doesn’t buy it.
Indeed, the elegant Rookery Club, where the upper crust gathers to drink, dine, and gossip, is already simmering with rumors–about the murders, about a Times Register reporter’s shameless fabrication of news stories, about rifts in two high-profile relationships. So when Sophie turns up the heat, the lethal bouillabaisse of twisted love, sadistic rage, and insatiable greed boils over. It seems that poisonous concoction murder du jour is back on the menu. . . .
Customer Reviews:
fabulous amateur sleuth thriller .......2005-06-01
One year ago, Twin Cities businessman Ken Loy was driving while talking on a cell phone when his vehicle blindsided that of Valerie Fabian, killing her. Although the woman ran a stop sign, her spouse Minneapolis Times Register columnist Bob blamed Ken for not paying attention.
Ken remains shook up with the accident bringing him close to his two twin daughters raised by his ex-wife and whom he neglected previously. He rides his bike every evening to gain some relief, but this time he stops to check a construction site thinking he might buy a condo there. Someone arrives and executes him.
Valerie's brother Sonny informs Bob that he provided justice to their beloved's killer. A stunned Bob calls 911, but Sonny, feeling betrayed, kills him too.
Minneapolis Times Register restaurant critic Sophie Greenway learns that the victims who were murdered within an hour of one another were killed by the same gun. No one can figure out the motive that ties both homicides although the link to Valerie is obvious. Sophie cooks up a storm that does not match the recipe for murder that will shake her inner essence.
Readers will want to make reservations for this fabulous amateur sleuth thriller that provides strong twists that the reader will never see coming especially the ending that will blow away the audience. Sophie is the terrific main ingredient while the support cast provides depth to a darker than usual story line. Ellen Hart bakes a winner with her eighth Greenway culinary mystery.

No Reservations Required is required reading!.......2005-06-01
Minnesota mystery writer Ellen Hart knows how to spin a wonderful, face-paced, complex mystery with characters you love to love and characters you... Well, you just want to slap some of them - and hate the rest.
Businessman Ken Loy loves bike riding. And if you have to die, as Loy does, then it's great to die doing something you love. Being shot between the eyes, however, is not so great. A half an hour later, Bob Fabian, the wealthy owner of the "Minneapolis Times Register" is also shot. Interestingly the two murdered men have a connection. A year earlier Loy broadsided Fabian's wife's car, killing her instantly. A lot of people see only a coincidence. Sophie Greenway, food critic, doesn't believe it for a minute, and she begins asking questions that might bring danger knocking on her own door.
Coupled with the murders, there is the relationship between Sophie and her high school sweetheart, Nathan Buckridge - and between Sophie and her husband Bram's daughter, Margie - and between Sophie and her husband Bram. It all makes for an intense and exciting read. But I do so wish a certain young woman would get her comeuppance. Perhaps in the next Sophie Greenway mystery that will happen. One can only hope.

Customer Reviews:
These recipes rock!.......2005-08-13
The Shaffers have spread a lifetime of culinary experience and knowledge through these pages but do not come off as pedantic gourmand police. For example, Bev advises, "...a recipe is a license to create and experiment." The glossary of Terms and Ingredients is nearly worth the price of the book. "The Notes from Bev" which are interspersed provide all of those tips and tricks which you should have learned from your elders (if they cooked) had you only paid attention. I understand that the Thrilling Grilling chapter is based on John Shaffer's quest for the perfect BBQ sauce and artist's obsession with avoiding the flares and high heat which often ruin fine cuts of meat. The recipes range from basic to sophisticated but are laced with words to inspire as well as sage advice to prevent your dinner adventure from turning into a dietary debacle. The Shaffers' approach is to take the mystery out of the process and allow you to turn out meals that rival and exceed that which you seek in the higher end restaurants.
Creative recipes for eating in.......2004-11-13
Anyone who has ever encountered Chef Bev through her Mustard Seed Market classes or her column in the Cleveland newspaper knows her philosophy that "fun cooking" is not an oxymoron. In fact, she autographed my copy of this book "Have fun; cook something!" Even the table of contents will make you smile with chapter headings like "Quick and Easy (Dinner in Less Than 10 Seconds - Just Kidding!)" and "Seafood: Beyond Fishsticks." Her 132 recipes are simple yet sophisticated...just perfect for anyone who's ever remarked after eating a dish in a restaurant, "I wish I could make something as interesting as this at home." Husband John offers commentary on cutlery and cookware.

I love this wreath book! The instructions are well written and easy to understand, but the photos - ah - the photos! The photos elegantly, yet simplistically illustrate each and every wreath in the book. The book also adds in variations you could do to some of the wreaths. It's a keeper!

Useful Aid to Decorating With a Plan.......2001-02-20
Works with a plan in mind, a scheme which is carried through beginning with a scale drawing, and then maneuvering the pieces and elements around to achieve the style and effect desired.
Proceeds to discussion of color and lighting and window effects, then to a room-by-room decorating helps and aids. This is particualarly helpful, as focuses attention on area(s) where one is. Even addresses those odd areas as corridors and landings and ends with a nice section on the various period styles.
