Tales of Heresy

Tales of Heresy
Nick Kyme | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Black Library | 416 | Fiction Other
It is a time of legend.
Mighty heroes battle for the right to rule the galaxy. The vast armies of the Emperor of
Earth have conquered the galaxy in a Great Crusade - the myriad alien races have
been smashed by the Emperor’s elite warriors and wiped from the face of history.
The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons.
Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many victories of the Emperor.
Triumphs are raised on a million worlds to record the epic deeds of his most powerful
and deadly warriors.
First and foremost amongst these are the primarchs, superheroic beings who have led
the Emperor’s armies of Space Marines in victory after victory. They are unstoppable
and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic experimentation. The Space
Marines are the mightiest human warriors the galaxy has ever known, each capable of
besting a hundred normal men or more in combat.
Organised into vast armies of tens of thousands called Legions, the Space Marines and
their primarch leaders conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor.
Chief amongst the primarchs is Horus, called the Glorious, the Brightest Star,
favourite of the Emperor, and like a son unto him. He is the Warmaster, the
commander-in-chief of the Emperor’s military might, subjugator of a thousand worlds
and conqueror of the galaxy. He is a warrior without peer, a diplomat supreme.
As the flames of war spread through the Imperium, mankind’s champions will all be
put to the ultimate test.

Space Hulk

Space Hulk
Gavin Thorpe | 2002-01-01 00:00:00 | Black Library | 63 | Fiction Other
It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat
immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will
of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible
armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of
Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls
are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty
battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between
distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the
Emperor’s will. Vast armies give battle in His name on uncounted worlds. Greatest
amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered
super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and
countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the techpriests
of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes,
they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics,
mutants—and worse.

Red Hook Road: A Novel

Red Hook Road: A Novel
Ayelet Waldman | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Doubleday | 352 | Fiction Other
The story itself is highly atmospheric and very engaging with a denouement which is commanding, even mythical. It is sure to produce a lasting effect for the reader. I have found many passages throughout Red Hook Road which are so beautifully stated and unforgettable; they speak to me of experience and emotion I myself have known and I have marked and reread them several times. I applaud Ayelet Waldman for capturing these universal experiences and emotions so precisely, so eloquently, so memorably.

The Girl of His Dreams

The Girl of His Dreams
Donna Leon | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Penguin | 304 | Fiction Other
Bravo, Donna Leon, for writing a mystery novel that delves into the underpinnings of crime and society. Italy, like all western European nations, is struggling with a huge influx of immigrants from other cultures. Now Europe must struggle with the problems that have been ongoing in the US for a couple of centuries. As I've said in other Leon reviews, Guido Brunetti is perhaps the most humanistic of all series detectives published today. In this outing, he must cope with the drowning of a "Rom" (Gypsy) child who was involved in an apartment robbery. Her face haunts him as he goes about his business, trying to discover what happened and why. Leon is brilliant at portraying the clash between cultures and consciences. Girl of His Dreams does the best job yet of bringing to the forefront the difficulties of reconciling legal and humanitarian needs. This is not an easy book to read; there are, in fact, moments of discomfort awaiting the reader. But it's an eloquent and important book, one that deserves attention and thought.

Searching for Tina Turner

Searching for Tina Turner
Jacqueline E. Luckett | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Grand Central Publishing | 320 | Fiction Other
I'm here to tell you, I had quite a conversation with Randall while I read this book. I told him a thing or two and called him a thing or two. At one point, Carl looked at me, and said, "it's only a book." I've met several men like Randall through the years, and I didn't like a single one of them.

I really enjoyed Searching for Tina Turner and I loved that Lena found her inner strength and stayed true to herself. She learned to let go and not try to do everything for everyone and actually let someone do something for her from time to time. I do think this book will probably appeal more to middle aged women.

Also involved is another lawyer, an Iranian American woman who also knows about the encryption program and may or not be trustworthy. Rich characterizations and family dynamics blend seamlessly with gripping action scenes. Eisler has himself another winner.

Treasure

Treasure
Clive Cussler | 1989-01-01 00:00:00 | POCKET BOOKS | 544 | Fiction Other
When the great Library of Alexandria was ordered sacked in A.D. 391, could some of its fabulous art treasures and volumes from its magnificent library have escaped the flames and been ferried across the Atlantic? It's an improbable if intriguing notion, but probability is not the strong suit of this wild charade of a novel that features the greatest treasure hunt of all timesome 1600 years after the fabulous riches disappeared. The narrative also encompasses the bloody attempts of two supposedly religious fanatics (who turn out to be brothers in a "criminal dynasty") to seize power in Egypt and Mexico, respectively; the kidnapping of the legitimate presidents of those two countries aboard a cruise ship; and the dazzling exploits of the green-eyed Dirk Pitt, a super-James Bond type whom "no woman could completely possess." These exploits include tracking the cruise ship to Tierra del Fuego, defeating, with the aid of some Special Forces agents, hordes of Arab and Mexican terrorists in several brutal encounters, and locating and saving the treasure. It's essentially schoolboy stuff, and it leads one to surmise that Cussler, author of the bestselling Cyclops, may have been so intent on packing his tale with action that he forgot about credibility altogether. Paperback rights to Pocket Books; Literary Guild main selection.

I have read almost all of Amulya Malladi's books and this one is a step above the others. The Sound of Language is the story of hope. Raihana's hope to find a better life, her friend Layla's hope to become Danish, Layla's husband, Kabir's hope to go back to Afghanistan some day, and Gunnar's hope to live after his wife's death. Beautifully written, this book introduces us to refugee life in Europe. Highly recommended!

I came across this book quite by accident and, as so many times in the past with both good and bad results, fell victim to its cover. The results were, I'm happy to report, quite good! This book has it all; humor, mystery, romance, engaging characters, and interesting locales. The plot spins out effortlessly and keeps you guessing, and second-guessing, to the end. I couldn't wait to begin my second Babs Horton novel and, now that I've read the last page, its on to the third! Treat yourself to an embarrassment of riches in the form of Babs Horton books and enjoy!

The Bay at Midnight

The Bay at Midnight
Diane Chamberlain | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Mira Books | 512 | Fiction Other
Diane Chamberlain never fails to deliver an interesting story with well defined characters and The Bay At Midnight is no exception.

In trying to describe her writing, I can't possibly do her justice. I never fail to recommend her books to people who want a well written and unique story. The characters are all believable with flaws and virtues that make them seem real (and realistic), as well as likeable. This writing ability adds to the reading enjoyment, as the people in the stories aren't clearly divided by "the good" or "the bad", adding to the suspense as the plot reveals unexpected twists and turns.

I won't go into the story line, but anyone who has ever visited or stayed at a beach community will find much to recognize here, with that bit of familiarity making it possible to almost envision it all, so well does Diane Chamberlain write. I happened to read this while on vacation at the beach, making it all the more enjoyable.

I highly recommend not only this book, but all the books written by this author.

Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon
Donna Andrews | 2004-01-01 00:00:00 | Minotaur Books | 133 | Fiction Other
In Agatha and Anthony-winner Andrews's fourth wacky bird-themed mystery (Murder with Peacocks, etc.), Meg Langslow, a temporary switchboard operator at her brother Rob's computer-game company, Mutant Wizards, must find the real killer when Rob, who made his fortune from a game called Lawyers from Hell, is accused of strangling the office pest to death with a computer mouse cable. Keeping exposition to a minimum, the author lets crackling dialogue propel the plot. The office boasts a menagerie of remarkable pets, notably George, a buzzard with only one wing who has a perch by Meg's desk. There's a smile on nearly every page and at least one chuckle per chapter. The denouement may stretch credibility, but getting there is such fun it scarcely matters.

Anytime Karen Kingsbury realeases a new book, I set aside whatever other novel I am reading, and start reading her new book. Take Two was a wondereful installment for the series. I am loving reading about Cody and Bailey's relationship, and anxiously awaiting the day they finally get together. I also really like Andi Ellison, and while what happens with her in this book is heart-wretching, I know in the end Karen will redeem her, and that's something else I cannot wait to read. My only, very minor, complaint is there wasn't enough of the Baxter family in this one.
