After reading the first three books, I eargerly anticipated reading this novel. To this end I was somewhat disappointed. The action is not as fast-paced, and to me the prose seems lacking. Still I haven't finished the novel yet, so maybe it would be a lot better when I get to the end.
Well it was hard to get through the first two chapters, but after that I couldn't stop reading it! Very enthralling, when you start reading this book, you will actually feel that you are there in Mars watching the action and seeing the plot unfold! Download this now!! You'll never regret it!
This is one gem of a short story. Although right now unbelievable, the story is about an archeological expedition of an ancient Martian civilization. Faced with many unknowns, the heroine Martha has a task to decipher the Martian language without the help of a Rosetta Stone. This story is very gripping from beginning to end.
This is a pretty good read. Not very outstanding, but a gem of a short story. It does serve as an introduction to the Terro-Human Future History series, but nothing more. You've seen the other reviews about the story of how a professor can see into the future, that pretty much sums it up. Check it out if you want something else if you like Asimov's Foundation Series.
An underrated classic! A gripping tale of a man's unresolving battling conscience of good and evil. An allegory of both theological and psychological struggle, more students should read this play in high school or even college English lit classes.
Like the excerpt says, it's pretty much a text for drill formations. It's useful, I suppose, if you want to study the history of US Army training, but otherwise a boring read.
Well . . .if you want to conduct a puja or a satsang and don't know what to chant for prayer, this book is perfect for you. However, if you want to study Hinduism using a primary source, look elsewhere unless you are fluent in Sanskrit.
This gothic novel takes a different turn from most. It's not a story based in a castle in Europe, with ghosts, demons, and vampires . . . this time it's set in Middle East about a Caliphate's descent to hell, almost like Dante's Inferno without the happy ending. A wonderful read.
This book's greatest asset is the fear of the unknown. Very different from what one sees in the movies, it's a tale of men and women fighting a monster that most of the time fades into the background when there are close to capturing the vampire; the only question is not when will Dracula appear, but what will Dracula do to the characters?
One flaw really is the characters. They're a bit two dimensional considering the times; i.e. men are strong, intelligent and masaculine, women are damsels in distress.
