Absolutely great!

This story stands alone, which is to say that is it is not in Piper's Terro-Human Future History or Paratime milieus. New Texas was founded when the whole ornery state of Texas built themselves spaceships and headed out to the new frontier - space. But now, these rugged and independent New Texans are the target of an expansive race of extraterrestrials, and it's up to the Solar League's ambassador to guide them back into Earth's embrace. Well, mister, it's going to take one tough and wily ambassador to steer the New Texans - but is Stephen Silk that tough and that wily? <br /> <br />This story is absolutely great! H. Beam Piper (1904-64) is one of the little recognized greats of science fiction. He was an expert at creating fascinating worlds that were both fantastic and yet utterly believable, and this story shows his writing ability off to great effect. If you like good sci-fi, then you will like this book. If you are a fan of H. Beam Piper, then it is a must-have!1000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB0007EHF7Ahttp://www.amazon.com/Servants-Wankh-Planet-adventure-Vance/dp/B0007EHF7A%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0007EHF7AJack VanceUnknown BindingAce BooksEnglishEnglishAce Books158Book1969Ace BooksAce Books399USD$3.990600005.011B0007EHF7A5332003-04-03

Oceans and Spaceyards.

This is the second volume in The Planet of Adventure series, and finds Adam Reith, Traz and Anacho accompanying Ylin Ylan, the lovely Flower of Cath, on her journey home. There, despite a deteriorating relationship with the young woman, Reith hopes to convince her father to help him acquire or build a space ship. They proceed almost haphazardly across Tschai's continents drawing closer to Cath, but not without incident.<p>A faltering floater carries them on to where they can seek sea voyage. And then, with the irritating addition of Dordolio, one of Ylin Ylan's countrymen, they set sail across the Draschade Ocean. The voyage contains both discoveries and tragedies, leaving a wiser Adam Reith to navigate the complexities of Cath society. Since this is only the second volume, I think it does no harm to admit that getting passage off planet remains out of reach.<p>But, amid the intrigue of Cath, Reith encounters Zarfo Detwiler, a man who finds the challenges of getting the party to the shipyards of the Wankh just his cup of tea. The Wankh are the latest invaders of Tschai, and have minimal contact with the world about them other than through their servitors, the Wankhmen. Once again, Reith's problem solving approach creates the maximum disturbance in what were previously orderly societies. One has to wonder if Tschai will survive Reith's return home.<p>My raving about Vance's write is probably becoming tedious to the reader's of my recent reviews. Suffice it to say, he was one of the truly great writers of science fiction and had far reaching influence is surprising corners. These stories are as fresh as they were 30 years ago and will no doubt remain popular when we return to the Stone Age and have to chisel them into walls. Please take the trouble to try a volume; you will no doubt be a fan forever.713392011General AAS10125General17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books713365011General AAS17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books16057Vance, Jack16049( V )14652Authors, A-Z25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books16282General16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books713749011General AAS16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books0441669026http://www.amazon.com/Pnume-Planet-Adventure-Vol/dp/0441669026%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D04416690262913164http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YsOOfeHkL._SL75_.jpg7548http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YsOOfeHkL._SL160_.jpg160103http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YsOOfeHkL.jpg500323Jack VanceMass Market PaperbackJeff Jones97804416690280441669026Ace BooksEnglishAce BooksBook1970-01-01Ace BooksAce Books975USD$9.7595USD$0.951000USD$10.0031730005.01104416690265442003-04-20

Silent Caverns Full of Memories

Having outwitted the three alien races that dominate Tschai, with the vessel that will take him back to Earth, Adam Reith encounters one last obstacle. The Pnume, who keep millions of years of history crystallized in their caverns have noticed Reith. And have decided he is a prime collectible. Aila Woudiver, who would like to see Reith dead, sells him to the Gzhindra, Pnumekin who wander Tschai's surface in the service of their underground masters.<p>Reith, by virtue of quick thinking, manages to arrive in the depths as a fugitive, rather than a prisoner. And so begins a series of adventures and travels more extensive than any that have happened so far. He kidnaps a young Pnumekin woman - to be named ZAP 210 and convinces her to lead him to freedom. No small task in a world full of secrets. But with the aid of a stolen map, they are on their way. Gradually, ZAP 210 finds Reith's 'boisterous' behavior less and less repellent. Achingly slowly, their relationship matures and becomes the second story of the series.<p>Vance gives us a whirlwind tour of yet another facet of life on Tschai, making us privy to the society of the Pnume and their servants. Quiet and subdued, their entire focus is the keeping of 'Foreverness,' their great museum. And on the surface, we discover such thinks as crooked ell racing. Vance again proves his ability to paint his story in vivid colors and deftly go beyond the constraints of simple action fiction.<p>This ends a series that I will always consider one of Vance's best efforts. He will go on to write countless new tales, and with each one, I always wonder, "Will this be just as good as..." Almost without fail, it is. But only rarely is it better.1000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books394184011Mass Market400272011Paperback394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1424153603http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Aces-Newbies-Guide-Online/dp/1424153603%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D14241536032589961http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VWF5GGYWL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VWF5GGYWL._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VWF5GGYWL.jpg500334Doug BrunellPaperback7959781424153602501424153603PublishAmericaEnglishEnglishEnglish9001695USD$16.95PublishAmerica153Book2006-09-18PublishAmerica2006-09-18PublishAmerica206001676USD$16.761880USD$18.8016500005.01114241536035002006-11-18

It explains how to find legit sites, how to set up accounts, basic bankroll tips and more. And if enough people like this, I'll submit my fiction to the publisher and have a go with that. <br /> <br />If you buy it, I thank you ahead of time. And if you want to see more from me, drop me a line. <br /> <br />See you at the tables.Online poker is one of the fastest growing areas on the Internet. And while millions are doing it, some people don’t have a clue as to how to get started. If you’re one of those people, then this is the book for you. Inside you’ll find everything from how to start an account to basic Texas Hold ’Em strategies. You’ll learn what to look for in an online poker room and how to spot scam sites.

The last word on the subject

I am unaware of any other book that covers the Pour le Merite and WWI German air aces in quite such depth. The first part of the book is given over to the history of the award and then goes on to list all recipients. I found a copy by chance in a second hand bookstore and grabbed it.

A Very, Very Good Read

This book's original title was "Prelude to Love", and what a wonderful read it was. It told how a young innocent 18-year old girl matured into a compassionate young woman, who was torn between devotion to her father (one of the slave merchants), or sympathy and humanity of slave abolition; her promise to her betrothed Anthony (a playboy), or Crispin, whom she truly admired and loved. <br /> <br />The story was unique, the writing was insightful, and the feeling was tender. There were no Almacks or Covenant Garden, instead there were very believable life and emotions of human beings. I highly recommend this book, and see if I could find another book by Ms. Renier.1000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0441678556http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Ones-Dorothy-Eden/dp/0441678556%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D04416785564127803Dorothy EdenPaperback97804416785560441678556AceEnglishAce237Book1957AceAce24USD$0.240600005.01104416785565552001-12-08

Hard to put down. Great story!

Emma knew very little about th man she had met and married in the matter of weeks. But she did know she loved Barnaby Court very much. <p>Then unpleasant rumors started, that Barnaby's first wife disappeared under mysterious circumstances; that no one really knew what happened to the two pretty young governesses who simply ran off without cause of explanation. <p>Emma trusted her husband, she asked him no questions. But when a pathetic, lonely grave turned up in the field, her loyalty turned into cold, hard fear. <p>Keeps you on the edge of your seat!1000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0898714109http://www.amazon.com/Proceedings-Ace-Siam-Symposium-Algorithms-Mathematics/dp/0898714109%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D08987141097296738PaperbackHoward Karloff97808987141041250898714109Society for Industrial and Applied MathematicEnglishEnglishEnglish11008500USD$85.00Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematic1704Book1998-01Society for Industrial and Applied MathematicSociety for Industrial and Applied Mathematic3708756700USD$67.000100005.01108987141095221999-03-09

Clarity

This was a great book. it cleared up most of my misconceptions on Nostradamus.The authoritative volume of the life's work of this extraordinary visionary. <P>Over the past four centuries, Nostradamus's predictions have proven startlingly accurate. Long before their actual invention, mechanical devices such as the periscope, the submarine, and the airplane appear in accurate detail in the great seer's journals. Other passages foresee Napoleon's conquest, the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of Hitler, and countless events yet to come. <P>The French occultist won extraordinary fame in his own lifetime, curing thousands in the plague years by unorthodox remedies. He published his first collection of prophecies in 1555, and had composed 1100 quatrains by the time of his death. Stewart Robb's concise translation selects Nostradamus's most lauded prophecies, tracing their symbolism, anagrams, and mythological allusions. Robb's scholarly expertise elucidates every facet of these remarkable writings which remain eerily insightful to this day. <I>Prophecies on World Events</I> remains our potent and vital companion as we enter the twenty-first century.048641468X1842931806076458412X08928191540786706287300199Prophecy12449Theology12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books
