RobertCraisLARequiem
Title: L.A. Requiem
Author: Robert Crais
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction:Detective
Description:Amazon.com ReviewMore than 10 years ago, I was shocked to learn that some puerile piece of fluff had won the Edgar for Best Paperback Original, when it was so obvious to me and virtually everyone else in the Western Hemisphere that the award should have gone to The terrific Elvis Cole series has grown through the years, each book better than the last, but nothing prepared me for the quantum leap (yes, its a cliché, but it belongs here) that Crais has made with L.A. Requiem. Its not as funny as the other books in the series, but its a beautifully plotted detective story, rich with police procedure, and it will keep even the most sophisticated reader at sea right until the end. And thats what elevates this book to the level of literature. This one is more about Joe Pike, Elviss silent sidekick, than it is about Elvis. We learn, through Pikes own eyes, how his childhood made him the way he is today. Its also about a friendship so strong that it threatens Elviss relationship with his beloved Lucy. It is a tender but dark book--a serial killer book--but it doesnt attempt to outgross the other serial killer books on the shelf. It is funny at times and chilling at other times, making it one of the rare books that cant help but linger in the memory long after its been read and put away. --Otto PenzlerFrom Publishers WeeklyIn his eighth book about wise-cracking Los Angeles private detective Elvis Cole, Crais has expanded his narrative reach and broadened his characters horizons to produce a mature work that deserves to move him up a notch or twoAinto Parker or Connelly country. Hes done this by focusing on Joe Pike, Coles tough and hitherto totally enigmatic partner. Its Pike who breaks in on Coles reunion with Lucy Chenier, his lawyerbroadcaster lover who has just moved from New Orleans, to ask for Elviss help in tracking down the missing daughter of a rich and powerful Hispanic businessman. When the girl turns up murdered in Griffith Park, its Pike who gives a nerdy medical examiner valuable assistance; and when it turns out that the girls death is linked to several other murders, its Pike who is charged with killing the chief suspect. Through flashbacks to Joes past life as an abused child, a highly motivated teenage soldier and an L.A. cop fighting to keep a corrupt partner from destroying his family, we learn more about Pike than we did in the seven previous Cole books. This new focus also allows Crais to keep Elviss often annoying throwaway lines to a minimumAalthough more pruning could have been done with no loss of flavor. The books scope is wide enough to include many other memorable characters, especially a rough-edged, vulnerable police officer named Samantha Dolan, plus a choice of plausible villains. There may be one too many metaphoric descriptions attempting to link aspects of the L.A. landscape with the moods and deeds of its inhabitants, but overall Crais seems to have successfully stretched himself the way another Southern California writerARoss MacdonaldAalways tried to do, to write a mystery novel with a solid literary base. br 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Title: The Machinery of Light
Author: David J. Williams
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Science-Fiction
Description:From Publishers WeeklyThe 22nd century's WWIII crashes to an unexpected end in this slam-bang conclusion to Williams's Autumn Rain trilogy (after 2008's The Mirrored Heavens and 2009's The Burning Skies). The Russia- and China-led Eurasian Alliance uses two heretofore secret megaspaceships to blast the U.S. and bring the American space fleet to its knees, while the spooky commando triads of Autumn Rain carry out desperate clandestine maneuvers. At the focus of the bloody action is Claire Haskell, the Manilishi, a posthuman supercomputercyborg able to implement the theories of her designer Matthew Sinclair, who intends to become God via experiments with teleportation, telepathy, and time travel. Williams's readers will eagerly devour this cyberpunk feeding frenzy, long on dizzying action and sinister tangled politics, but newcomers to the series will struggle with the shallow characterizations and overdoses of X-rated vocabulary. (June) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. strongWith The Machinery of Light,strong David J. Williams completes his furiously paced, stunningly imagined trilogy—a work of vision, beauty, and pulse-pounding futuristic action. September 26, 2110. 10:22 GMT. Following the assassination of the American president, the generals who have seized power initiate World War Three, launching a surprise attack against the Eurasian Coalition’s forces throughout the Earth-Moon system. Across the orbits, tens of thousands of particle beams and lasers blast away at one another. The goal: crush the other side’s weaponry, paving the way for nuclear bombardment of the cities. As inferno becomes Armageddon, the rogue commando unit Autumn Rain embarks on one last run. Matthew Sinclair, an imprisoned spymaster, plots his escape. And his former protégé Claire Haskell, capable of hacking into both nets and minds, is realizing that all her powers may merely be playing into Sinclair’s plans. For even as Claire evades the soldiers of East and West amid carnage in the lunar tunnels, the surviving members of the Rain converge upon the Moon, one step ahead of the Eurasian fleets but one step behind the mastermind who created Autumn Rain—and his terrible final secret.

RobertCharlesWilsonSpin
Title: Spin
Author: Robert Charles Wilson
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Science-Fiction
Description:From Publishers WeeklyOne night the stars go out. From that breathtaking what if, Wilson (_Blind Lake_, etc._) _builds an astonishingly successful mélange of SF thriller, growing-up saga, tender love story, father-son conflict, ecological parable and apocalyptic fable in prose that sings the music of the spheres. The narrative time oscillates effortlessly between Tyler Duprees early adolescence and his near-future young manhood haunted by the impending death of the sun and the earth. Tylers best friends, twins Diane and Jason Lawton, take two divergent paths: Diane into a troubling religious cult of the end, Jason into impassioned scientific research to discover the nature of the galactic Hypotheticals whose Spin suddenly sealed Earth in a cosmic baggie, making one of its days equal to a hundred million years in the universe beyond. As convincing as Wilsons scientific hypothesizing is--biological, astrophysical, medical--he excels even more dramatically with the infinitely intricate, minutely nuanced relationships among Jason, Diane and Tyler, whose older self tries to save them both with medicines from Mars, terraformed through Jasons genius into an incubator for new humanity. This brilliant excursion into the deepest inner and farthest outer spaces offers doorways into new worlds--if only humankind strives and seeks and finds and will not yield compassion for our fellow beings. Agent, Shawna McCarthy. (Apr. 14) Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromSpin is not merely a SF thriller. It’s also a coming-of-age tale, a love story, a literary triumph, and an ecological and apocalyptic warning. The award-winning Wilson excels at all aspects of his tale, from the human angle to the political, religious, biological, medical, and astrophysical theorizing. The first part elicited jaw-dropping amazement from critics; luckily, the pace slows over the remaining pages to recount the next few decades on Earth (_Emerald City_). If the plot involving the terraforming and colonization of Mars seems farfetched, put it in the context of Wilson’s deep characterization and convincing relationships, and you’ll be OK. After all, Spin is a book about faith: especially our faith in ourselves (_Emerald City_). 2004 Phillips & Nelson Media, Inc.

Title: A Beggar at the Gate
Author: Thalassa Ali
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction:Historical
Description:From Publishers WeeklyIn this sequel to A Singular Hostage, native Bostonian and Muslim convert Ali continues the saga of Marianna Givens, a young Englishwoman living in 19th-century India. Though competently written and often entertaining, the novel feels like exoticism cloaked as historical fiction (the prologue delivers a taste of whats to come in Calcutta, Marianna encounters a Hindu soothsayer who points his authoritative, brown hand away from the crowd and tells her that her path lies to the northwest and that she must return there to find [her] destiny). Marianna casts her lot with the Sufi family of Shaikh Waliullah as she marries his son, the Punjabi courtier, Hassan Ali Khan. She flees to Calcutta with Hassans infant son, Saboor, to protect him from the opium-addicted Maharajah of Punjab. After two years in exile, Marianna travels back to Lahore to give Saboor to his father, divorce Hassan and return to respectable British society. Ali convincingly captures both Victorian-era Punjabi and British court culture, and her description of the conniving ineptitude of the British as they travel across the subcontinent humanizes them. Upon arriving in Lahore, the traveling party finds itself caught between warring Punjabi factions. The conclusion, in which Marianna predictably displays a redemptive heroism, sets up for the final book in this trilogy, slated for release in 2005. br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. From School Library JournalAdultHigh School–In this sequel to A Singular Hostage (Bantam, 2002), Mariana Givens, a tempestuous Englishwoman, is sent to India to find a husband from the surfeit of bachelor British officers there. Two years have passed since her disastrous first visit, when her reputation was ruined by her marriage to a wealthy Punjabi, Hassan. She is devoted to his son Saboor, whom she rescued from kidnappers and has been sheltering. The revelation that the marriage was never consummated affords Mariana the chance to restore her good name once in Lahore she can return Saboor to his father, request a divorce, and proceed to Afghanistan with her aunt and uncle and the rest of the British entourage. But she again falls under the spell of Hassan and his family, and decides to stay with him. Amid fighting following the death of the maharajah, Mariana goes to tell her aunt and uncle of her decision and returns to find him gravely wounded. This mid-19th-century adventure story contrasts the richness of Islam and its strict laws regarding women with the equally rigid societal norms of privileged, upper-class British. The characters and their actions illustrate the barriers between cultures and the difficulty of establishing trust among peoples with different worldviews. The engaging ending suggests another installment to come._–Molly Connally, Chantilly Regional Library, VA_
