5 out of 5 stars Excellent Children's Book.......2007-08-27

This is a very entertaining and fun book to read aloud to a class or even one child. It is fast paced and interactive and I simply love it.

5 out of 5 stars A Family Favorite!.......2007-06-12

We had borrowed this book from the library dozens of times and realized it was time to purchase our own. This has been our children's favorite book since the moment we first read it. A family favorite at our house! Sing-song rhythm makes it fun too!

5 out of 5 stars Halloween fun.......2007-01-10

A friend told me about this book and shared a tune she made up for the words. I bought a copy and my son (2) loves it. He brings it out quite often for me to read or sing to him. The illustrations are a fun change from the usual kiddie fare.

5 out of 5 stars A great read year-round.......2006-11-26

This one has great illustrations and greater lyrics. It's a natural to turn into a song, which my (3 & 2-yr old) children love to dance and sing along to. Even my husband doesn't complain when we sing it loudly in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Sure to spark some giggles!.......2006-10-08

I love Halloween... this is a great book to share with little ones! It's got it all - fantastic - rhyming, graphics and is just a bit silly. I started reading it easily switched to singing. It's a evening favorite and always brings out those gut giggles - a contagious fun time for all!

                    The Blades are back! Dave Duncan's deftly done swords-and-sorcery series adds its second chapter with The Lord of the Fire Lands, the worthy standalone followup to The Gilded Chain. Duncan's triumph with the first tale of the King's Blades--a trend that thankfully continues with the second--is his unabashed confidence in the genre. Swashbuckling high fantasy may get its share of derisive snickers, but done well it can be as engaging and smart as anything more weighty--not to mention that it's often a lot more fun.

                    Lord of the Fire Lands opens with fat King Ambrose back at hallowed Ironhall mustering more Blades, the Kingdom of Chivial's magically bound, magically enhanced super-swordsmen. But when His Majesty prepares to bestow this honor on the hall's senior pupil, Candidate Raider does the unthinkable, the unprecedented: he refuses. Why would a Blade-to-be insult--and enrage--his king? That, of course, is a long story, and just the start of this time-hopping, tortuous tale.

                    Cover to cover, Duncan has packed blood-thirsty pirates, betrayed princes, kidnapped brides, slippery assassins, stark-mad shamans, volcanic firedrakes, Blades (naturally) by the bushel, and even a satisfying cameo from none other than Gilded Chain's legendary Durendal. --Paul Hughes

                    Book Description

                    As unwanted, rebellious boys, they found refuge in Ironhall. . .Years later they emerged as the finest swordsmen in the realm—

                    The Kings Blades

                    Once bound, a Blade's life is no longer his own. Only death can break the gilded chain of enchantment that binds the bodyguard to the man he is sworn to defend. And never in living memory has a candidate refused the honor of serving his king. . .until now.

                    Young Wasp never intended to be a rebel. Yet, at the sacred ceremony of binding, he follows the lead of his friend Raider, and together they spurn the wishes of King Ambrose himself. Now Raider and Wasp are outlaws hunted by the very Blades whose ranks they were a breath away from entering, and joined together by a destiny that binds them more securely than any knot tradition and sorcery might tie. Amid the turmoil their "treachery" has inspired, Wasp and Raider must undertake a desperate journey into the heart of the dreaded Fire Lands. And the outcome of their terrifying confrontation with dark truth and darker magic in this realm of monsters, ghosts, and half-men will ultimately determine the fate of two kingdoms.

                    3 out of 5 stars Good except for the ending.......2006-09-20

                    Raider and Wasp are fast friends at Ironhall. Raider is the best fighter and the most capable candidate to become a king's Blade while Wasp, while a good fencer, is lucky to survive the grueling training. A shocking revelation about Raider's past will propell the boys into an adventure that will make them enemies of the the king and land them in the middle of a feud between the barbaric Baels and the civilized Chivians going back a generation.

                    Dave Duncan is excellent at spinning a compelling yarn, and the Lord of the Fire Lands is definitely compelling and fun. It has all the elements of a great swashbuckler, along with Duncan's signature plot twists that made The Gilded Chain so enjoyable. However, right at the end Duncan twists the plot so much that it completely contradicts the history of Chivial as written in The Gilded Chain. I was stunned, and for once, did not like it at all. Mr. Duncan this is a fine novel, but I wish the ending was different and not so contradictory of the broader story-line.

                    Recommended as a stand alone read, but if you read the Gilded Chain get ready for an unpleasant shock at the end.

                    4 out of 5 stars Duncan is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!.......2006-04-03

                    Lord of the Fire Lands by Dave Duncan is the second book in the series titled, A Tale of the King's Blades. From what I understand this series is a group of novels that can be read by themselves without losing anything to the story. However, I was recommended a certain order by someone so I will read them that way. The first book I read in this series is The Gilded Chain, which was a fantastic boo

                    I think it needs to be said that I have never read a book where the author `warns' the reader before the start of the book. When I first read the warning I was confused and wondering what he meant. Of course, this made me want to read the book even more. Here is what the warning states:

                    This book, like Gilded Chain, is a stand-alone novel. They both cover much the same time interval and certain characters appear in both, but you can read either without reference to the other. The same is true of the upcoming third volume, Sky of Swords. However, the three taken together tell a larger story. If you read any of the two, you will notice certain discrepancies that can be resolved only by reading the third.

                    Well, after finishing this second book, I fully agree with this warning. The ending of this book throws off the ending of Gilded Chain in so many ways. I `think' I know what is going to happen, but I am rarely right. So I won't even speculate here.

                    The plot of this book is just as tight and well written as Gilded Chain. Duncan quickly gets the reader to care about his characters. Raider and Wasp are two very memorable characters and ones that everyone should read about. The development of Raider in particular is just great to read. Following him from his time at Iron Hall to where he ends up (sorry no spoilers here). I would like to touch on all the memorable characters within this book, but I don't want to write a novel myself. Suffice it to say that the characters in this book are fantastically written and just fun to read.

                    The plot in this book is a little cliché at times, but Duncan spins it in such a way that it seems new and refreshing. This plot has all the elements readers enjoy. Fight scenes, murder, intrigue and much much more. There are a few plot twists in this book that surprised me, but looking back they really made sense. It's evident from reading the first two book sin this series that Duncan knows how to structure a plot and make sure everything makes sense. This is series that I will recommend to people for a long time to come.

                    Now, as I mentioned above, the ending of this book directly conflicts with the ending of Gilded Chain, so I am eagerly awaiting the resolution of how this will work itself out. There was one part of this book that took a little while for me to get into. It seemed a little slow and forced at the start, but after reading he entire book, it makes a lot of sense why it was included within the pages of this novel.

                    If you are a fan of well written, concise fantasy books this series is a must read for you. I can't say enough about how much I am enjoying this series so I won't even start.
                    Another great book from Dave Duncan!

                    5 out of 5 stars Just a good old fashioned story thank god.......2005-03-23

                    I don't know why I have never heard of this guy before but he sure can write. It is just refreshing to read someone that is not hung up on the medieval stereotype of fantasy and intested in telling a story instead of just another cookie cutter loaded with what you would expect. This type of Fantasy is much more renaissance, I know I'm not the only guy to pick up on that. The fights just seem to have more style then in a lot of books of a similar type. I liked the book because the characters are mostly fleshed out with read reasons for doing what they are doing. Duncan is no GRR Martin but he is the closest that I have seen.

                    I know I shouldn't evaluate one man's work based on the book of another guy so don't hate its just that Martin writes so well.
                    Its good that Duncan is around because I have been going crazy looking for good Fantasy.

                    This book is wonderful so the rest of the series must be great to I am going to check it out, I suggest you do the same.

                    5 out of 5 stars Lord of the Fire Lands - Another wonderful tale!.......2004-05-02

                    "Lord of the Fire Lands" is another exceptional example of superior fantasy writing by author, Dave Duncan. After finishing his first "Tale of the King's Blades" in "The Gilded Chain," it seemed as though that novel would be a hard one to follow but Dave Duncan deftly handles that in writing this thoroughly absorbing and compelling story. The only downside to this story is the beginning in which it seems to take some time for the story to get going at a decent pace but I suspect that was, for me, simply an aftereffect of having just finished "The Gilded Chain" and the frenetic pace at which that story concluded. Overall though, "Lord of the Fire Lands" is a completely compelling story where Dave Duncan sets a good pace for the plot and tells a tale that adds brilliantly to King's Blades mythology.

                    The one truly intriguing aspect of this novel is the ending which contradicts the conclusion of "The Gilded Chain." As I understand it though, Dave Duncan cleverly handles this contradiction with ease in the third novel, "Sky of Swords." Every one of the novels begins with a blurb about how these novels can be read independently of the others but it would be "best" to read them in order to get the thorough experience of the overall story, which is exactly what I would suggest. The first two tales pretty much run concurrently of each other and there are even appearances in "Lord of the Fire Lands" by key characters from the first novel.

                    The Premise:

                    "Lord of the Fire Lands" is the story of two would be Blades in Wasp and Raider. When the time comes for King Ambrose IV to come to Ironhall and bind them into his service Raider respectfully refuses to do so and his best friend Wasp follows his lead. In the entire of history of the King's Blades, this has never happened before. As the two youngsters patiently await the outcome of their dreadful decision, King Ambrose comes to them and orders them to explain why they've done what they've done.

                    This is where the true story kicks in for this outstanding novel as Raider, who turns out to be Radgar, the son of the former King of the Baels, Eled. Raider begins to tell them how he came to be in Ironhall and the tale takes of from there...

                    What follows from there is an extremely enlightening addition to the "Tales of the King's Blades" as Dave Duncan takes us on an adventure that spans several years where the characters are extremely well defined with exceptional depth and the overall plot is thoroughly well thought out and executed.

                    I highly recommend not only this second book in the King's Blades tales but the all of them to any and all who are fans of exceptional fantasy fiction that is written with adults in mind. Dave Duncan is a superior author who deserves any and all accolades he's received and I'm sure continues to receive for these exceptional stories. {ssintrepid}

                        Book Description

                        Thanks to the accidental triggering of an ancient alien technology, Captain Kirk has been banished to his own past. During a brutal massacre on Tarsus IV, Kodos the Executioner entered the history books as one of the most genocidal tyrants of the twenty-third century. As a boy, Kirk barely survived. Can he stand by now and let it happen again?

                        Lt. Kevin Riley is the only other survivor of Tarsus IV serving aboard the U.S.S Enterprise. His traumatic memories provide Spock's best hope of finding their time-lost captain - before Kirk alters their time line forever!

                        5 out of 5 stars Another excellent book in the Star Trek series!.......2004-07-01

                        This Original Series book brought a great end to the three-book series and proved that, even in written form, all Star Trek works bring to life that feeling that only this particular soap opera can do and do it so well that it belongs with other such books: "2001", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Childhood's End", "Foundation", "Ringworld", "Advent of the Corps", and so forth.

                        3 out of 5 stars Not a bad book........2003-04-17

                        But not without its flaws, the largest of which is that the rear cover blurb is totally inaccurate, so if you might be inclined to pick up this book in order to see some in-depth background on the experiences that young James Kirk had on Tarsus IV (a tie-in to the original series episode, "The Conscience of the King") don't. The point in his past that Kirk is sent back to is a completely different one, one that does NOT form a tie-in to any episode. If I had to guess, I'd guess that the original plan was to tie in to Tarsus IV, and that original plot synopsis is what the rear cover blurb was based on, and then in the course of writing, the details were changed. Perhaps the creator of that episode objected to the use of their concept; who knows?

                        Of course, another flaw is that this book is not a complete story by itself; it is a story fragment relatively meaningless without books one and two of the series, so don't start with this one. And the third major flaw is that the concepts of time paradoxes are handled in a somewhat dubious way; but that's almost a given in the genre. It's nearly impossible to handle temporal paradoxes in a way that DOES make sense.

                        On the good side, the basic plot is fairly interesting (if illogical), there are some interesting tie-ins with various episodes from the original series which are handled quite well, and the characterization is smoothly handled and interesting.

                        As a whole, I'd say that the trilogy is worth reading for any fan of the original Star Trek series, but don't expect perfection. There are better Star Trek stories to be had, but there are far, far more worse ones.

                        4 out of 5 stars Timely Return To Form.......2002-09-16

                        The final book in this time travel trilogy is another excellent effort from Graf who has restored my faith that people can still write exciting Star Trek adventures instead of the usual soap opera stuff that plagues much of the modern material. Here we have an interesting story that delves further into Kirk's past, including his relationship with his father, but never loses sight of the overall plot. How easy it would have been for this to become a "Next Generation" or "Voyager" style story with the characters "getting in touch with their feelings" and all "having a group hug" - but no, this is a serious story, and thankfully the author allows the characters to resolve the drama in an adult fashion. The overall conclusion to the Janus Gate side of the story back on Tlaoli IV is also brilliant, although a bit convoluted at times (*but then most time travel stories are !!!), and again I must praise the author for the way she cleverly brings it all together at the end. On a side note I must add my voice to the other readers who have complained about the synopsis that Pocket Books has provided for each of these novels. Only book two contained a synopsis that was remotely close to the actual story of the novel, while book one and three in fact were a load of garbage. Do the publishers actually read the books ?!! And if so who is responsible for the totally inaccurate synopsis writing ?!! Maybe the readers would like to start a letter writing campaign to Pocket Books to ensure that consumers are actually getting what they pay for when they buy a book instead of something completely different !!! Anyway at least this was one of the really worthwhile titles, and one of the better series of Star Trek books, regardless of the lousy synopsis on the back cover. A thoroughly enjoyable read which I would recommend to anyone, and I only hope Kevin Ryan's "Errand of Vengeance" trilogy will prove to be as good.

                        4 out of 5 stars Actually 4.5 stars- excellent book.......2002-07-11

                        This is the best book of the three, but the Janus Gate sucking the power out of the Scheenag is a bit obvious. Uhura does an awesome job commanding the Enterprise, and the twist at the end is very good. However, the back of the book once again had nothing to do with the story, and I was disappointed that the authors decided not to use Tarsus IV. (Kirk had a bad life at 14-Gaxx and then Tarsus IV)

                        5 out of 5 stars ST: TOS Past Prologue: Janus Gate Book Three.......2002-07-09

                        Star Trek: The Original Series Past Prologue: The Janus Gate Book Three by L.A. Graf is the concluding book to this trilogy, "Present Tense, Future Imperfect, and Past Prologue," and what a conclusion it is.

                        The book is fast paced and full of action revolving around the unanswered questions about James T. Kirk. The book fills in, clarifies and resolves the issues left in book two. We were left with a future and present Sulu and Chekov, a doppleganger paradox, and a 14 year old James T. Kirk. Spock was trying to bring the time distortion into alignment and alleviate the paradox but was interupted by the Shechenag, a cybernetic race of beings, hell bent to close the Janus Gate, and demanded that Spock and company to leave the Tlaoli system in ten hours as time rapidly counts down on the three day time bubble that was created on Psi-2000 after the cold start of the warp engines.

                        As you can see, time is the weighing factor here and time is running out... will Spock and the Enterprise crew come through?
                        Will James T. Kirk live his life in his past or worse yet has he already changed the future. As I mentioned, in my reviews of the previous books, the key here is the time bubble. This bubble allows the Janus Gate only to replace those found to be in the life events around Kirk, Sulu, and Chekov as Spock unravels this mess.

                        As mentioned, James T. Kirk is time-transported to a life changing event of his past and his past self is now in his present. Captain Kirk is on Grex as the Grexxen are in the middle of a civil war with his father George Kirk. George Kirk is a Commander with Starfleet and is posted on Grex of three months and brings his family with him. All hell breaks loose on Grex, as Captain Kirk has to remember his long forgotten past. It is interesting to read the interplay between Captain Kirk and his father. This could have been extended a little more in the book, but would make an interesting book in an of itself someday.

                        As Grex was once under the control of the Orions, Starfleet got control of the planet through treaty, but as expected the Orions never give-up easy. As you can see there are a lot of things in play here.

                        James T. Kirk has to be brought to his present and his childhood counter part returned to the past. This is the key to the whole time paradox. If you correct this, that resolves the future imperfect, book two. Spock has to work to bring this to a resolution, but will he have time and can he figure out how to do it in a rapidly collapsing time frame.

                        The book gives us "a view" of the future Sulu and Chekov albeit an imperfect view, but the general qualities are there. Spock has always given himself and option to resolve contingencies and this book is no different... hence the way the book resolves the paradox... but remember this... if the Kirk parallel is resolved, then what we read about the future of Sulu and Chekov will change.

                        If you read the first two books in this trilogy, you have to read book three, just as you can't read book three without reading the first two. The way this trilogy is crafted, it weighs heavy on what has been written and builds to and exciting conclusion, remember to pay attention as the timelines get involved.

                        This is an interesting concept, to bring in the crew and their perspective to events as they happen... also this is, as noted on the title of the books, not just Star Trek, but Star Trek: The Original Series... so there is a clue there as well.

                        This is borne out in the next series as well, The Errand of Vengeance : The Edge of the Sword... also a trilogy. I'll see around for that series as well... live long and prosper.

                        Magnificient descriptions of some realities of Heaven. This revelation of Heaven given to the young Marietta also contains an impressing description of the work of Jesus on the cross and the spiritual realities involved. This reading is a real blessing and needs to be rediscovered.

If you are interested in knowing what happens when we die or what heaven is like, I recommend this book. This book was similar to "Divine Revelation of Heaven" but not as in depth.

                                                  A thin reference to 60+ symbol and icon fonts available online, this book succeeds on all levels: high quality and tasteful printing and layout, great content, and an inarguably fair price (when compared to many books of similar content and quality.) In addition to being a reference to the 60 or so symbol/icon fonts described, illustrated, and utilized in this book, but it is a pleasure to look at - whether searching for a bit of inspiration for your own creative twist, or for finding professional symbol and icon fonts on the web. I am very happy I purchased this book, and look forward to using it for some time to come. I highly recommend this book to graphic or web designers.
